Plenty more coming... just starting to run low on funds due to all the prototyping.

Should have some really neat stuff out by March though... I hope.

This is excellent. I am a design engineer that also happens to program and operate an 8 axis robotic water jet. What you are doing is my dream job. I have a few car parts I designed in Solidworks but nothing to the extent that you do. Keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to purchasing your LCA's and your front lip.

Great to hear! Let me know if their is anything I can help with and I'll do my best to pass on the knowledge I've learned along the way.

The more you design, the better your designs will end up. Also, first iterations are rarely the best, but sometimes they are.

Cam sensor covers. Basically just a piece to make the engine bay look a little nicer. I'll admit, not one of our more functional pieces .

Thanks guys... just pushes me to go further for the next stuff. I just ordered quite a few other items for prototyping. Should prove for an interesting first quarter of the year. We're working very hard to get all of these to production ASAP.

Nothing is holding you back! Except most people don't enjoy working 80+ hrs a week . Hopefully in a few years it'll be just Velox.





We did a blog post about our CFD process. For anyone interested in airflow and CFD analysis, it is fairly informative and I suggest taking the 5 minutes to read it.

Possibly new product???


Finishing up prototype:


This is off to a testing facility to be loaded, strain gauged, and elongation closely watched. We will be able to accurately tell if it is past its yield strength and how it compares to our FEA analysis. More stuff to come .
