Ridez and Vibez -canal walk

D1S and Goodhope FM hosted yet another Ridez and Vibez event on Thursday 26th April 2012

The event was a major success with a decent turn out. Some of Cape Town's hottest cars were there to give the public a sample of what Cape Town has to offer. Goodhope FM had a live broadcast and of course DJ Ready D was on the mike playing some of the latest hits around. There were give aways, a rev off, live rapping and some b-boys did their thing. Another successful event hosted by D1S.

If you weren't there, you missed out. A special thanks goes out to Mother Nature and the weatherman, for two successive nights you behaved yourselves.

CTSR park off

The CTSR park off went down Wednesday the 25th April 2012 and i was a huge success.
Not only had the weather cleared up shortly before the park off began, but the event had a large turn out. The parking area was over flowing with cars. Police were present but for once, did not get involved with the park off. Sound match did free decibel testing with the most impressive being 145.9db.

China Town Mass Park-off

CTSR would like everyone to join them for a mass park-off

It takes place at China Town in Parow (The old Shoprite park opposite racing edge) on Wednesday the 25th February from 19:00 onwards. All shops will be open as well as the food court. Soundmatch will be present and free decibel testing will be done. Bring you rides and wallets as shops sell all types of car accessories from cone filters and stickers to lips and spotlights, you name it. This is a LEGAL gathering not to be missed.

*This event is being hosted with permission from center management however police will be present so we advise everyone to behave themselves as we do not want a repeat of the N1 City incident.

We hope to see you all there.

Quick tip(s)

Here are just a quick tip that might come in handy if you ever end up on the wrong side of the law.

#1. your vehicle may not be searched if the officer does not produce a search warrant. If you ever in this situation ask for his/her warrant and tell him/her that Chapter 1 act 14b of the Constitution says they dont have the right to search you and that you have the right of privacy. Its your right as a citizen.

20v VS b20 Vtec

A Toyota corolla bubble with a 20v conversion vs a B20b Vtec (civic)

I dont know what im doing.

Not quite fimiliar or still new on the motorsport scene, well heres some advice for you. The donts of the motoring world.

Dont:

1....buy a honda civic/ballade V-tec

2....put 16inch rims on as tyres are pricey and rare to find.

3....warm your car by letting it idle as it weakens the engine block.

4....cut your springs, buy a lowering kit.

5....drop your car more than 60mm as your arches will scrape.

6....turbo charge your engine without replacing your manifold and installing a 256 cam

7....forget to replace the timing belt when redoing your cam.

8....let your petrol tank run completely dry.

9....drive too slow as it irritates other road users.

Point 9 does not mean break the speed limit. No matter how well you think you drive, you need to remember yo are not the only vehicle on the road. The next drivers road sense might not be as good as yours so always be cautious while driving. Speed kills so i urge all of you to drive safe.
