GReddy Review - GReddy Fest 2008

As 2009 approaches, we thought it might be the perfect time to recap one of the highlights for us this past year. GReddy Fest 2008!

GReddy Performance Festival was held on February 23, 2008 on the El Toro Air Field, just minutes away from our offices in Irvine. The goal was to expand our GReddy Garage Sale to incorporate an inexpensive way to introduce and experience different types of autosports for car enthusiast. Although it was a huge learning experience for our staff, it was a great and fun event. We had 2,000 guest, over 80 Auto Cross and Drift Drivers, Drift 101, Falken Demo Drivers, 400+ cars for our Car Meet, and a great vendor row with a wide variety of automotive companies for all over.

Please check out our Slide show of images from GReddy Fest...

Here is another slide show of enthusiast in the GReddy Car Meet, Drifter, and Auto Cross Drivers...

Thank you again, all who attended and participated!

Product Spotlight - GReddy Shift Knobs

From the responses of our last product spotlight, we noticed it may have been a little specific with a Titanium AE86 header. So this week we decided a feature a product that would cover just about everyone...the GReddy Shift Knobs.
(plus they make a great last minute gift for your friends!)

Basically there are three basic styles of GReddy Shift Knobs:

1. Traditional : Wt.= 175g / Dim.= dia. 30-40-28 x h68mm / (1) Badge dia. 25mm / MSRP $41.25 - diamond shape, chromed billet Aluminum - JDM style & comfort
2. Counter-weighted : Wt.= 376g / Dim.= dia. 40 x h54mm / (3) Badge dia. 27mm / MSRP $41.25 - counter-weighted, ball shaped, twilight-metallic Brass - smoother quick shifts
   
3. Super-Light : Wt.= 75g / Dim.= dia. 40 x h40mm / (3) Badge dia. 25mm / MSRP $25.75 - super light-weight, ball shaped, white Duracon composite - race car feel and looks

All GReddy shift knobs are designed to screw onto the factory shift linkage via OEM style threading. There are 3 main sizes for each shift knob style, but some vehicles vary depending on specific shifters. (For many of those we have specialty applications that may required provided adapters for the traditional type, so they fit perfect- i.e. SW20 MR-2, Subaru, etc. )
(It is important to screw on the shift know securely before attaching the badge appropriately)

• Type A - M12 x P1.25 - most Toyota, Scion, & Subaru
• Type B - M10 x P1.25 - most Nissan, Mitsubishi, & Mazda
• Type C - M10 x P1.50 - most Honda & Acura

The type and sizes, there are choices in the shift badge emblem.

LA Auto Show

This past weekend also kicked off the OE Auto Show circuit, with the LA Auto Show. Definitely less people looking at trucks and SUVs. And it seemed like the big push were either for economy or high performance cars. We were looking more for tunable models. But here are a few highlights from our visit...


(at the top of our list had to be the new 370Z)

(next tot he Z was this Cube, might also be option?)

(Congrats to the GTR for the Car of the Year award.
we have some cool parts coming for the GTR very soon..)

(The new Mazda 6 looked interesting too)

(as did the new Lexus IS250 2dr. convertible)

(It was good to see the GReddy logo on Pastrana's rally STI)

(Honda seems to be going more towards the economy path)

(although this concept car was pretty cool looking)

Please shoot us an email at greddyusa@greddy.com if you have a good recommendation for a new vehicle we should consider.
