Water For Your Cars SoulTop Fuel's Power NEO Waterline is an epoch-making product. By installing the Power NEO Waterline the properties of the cooling water are changed, augmenting electrolysis-material photoconduction properties. Moreover, the grounding effect is improved with the magnetic processing water that flows in the water jacket of the engine. As a result, complete combustion is promoted and the fuel consumption is improved. The end result is that the exhaust emission is cleaned.Top Fuel / 626.935.8881
Tear The TarmacToyo Tires introduces the new Proxes R888 D.O.T.-legal competition tire. A wide center block delivers excellent traction and directional control for dry braking. Large, interlocked shoulder blocks maintain a large surface area during cornering for immediate steering response and ultimate dry traction. The tires maintain contact pressure distribution during cornering, braking and acceleration. The tires also have a rounded shoulder to maintain contact during suspension geometry changes in hard turns. A unidirectional angled-groove tread features a 61/432" tread depth to eject water and avoid hydroplaning in wet weather conditions. The Proxes R888 incorporates a high-modulus filler located in the center of the tire bead structure to help reduce tire wall deflection under hard cornering.Toyo Tires / West Coast 800.442.8696 / East Coast 888.444.8696
