We've launched another Kickstarter! It's a CNC machined bottle opener designed and manufactured by us right here in California. If you can help spread the word, that would be the best. The project can be accessed at: www.thebeerpopper.com Thanks!

What an honor it is for us to have a battery package in the Cusco FRS. To potentially be working with such a pillar in the Japanese tuning industry is a dream come true.

We've been loving meeting up with NSX owners to install their Shorai batteries into their cars. They've been enjoying a roughly 40 pound weight savings, which is over 1% of the entire car's weight!

We did a 20 foot (roughly 20 mph) drop test of our NSX battery tray. The results were excellent, and we are satisfied with the strength of our battery trays!

Over the past few months we've been working on refining our lightweight battery trays for the Shorai 36AH Lithium Iron batteries. We are pleased to announce that our first lineup of trays for the NSX are ready to go! At a 7 pound installed weight, our package allows for a 30 pound weight reduction, which is 1% of the NSX's overall mass!

As Sonastand progress continues to grow, we are looking towards more distribution. We think the Sonastand really shines when it's seen and used in person, so we've started to make some display trays for retail use. After some simple engraving, we even use the machine to start on the coloring for us!

Bob did an incredible job restoring a 70 year old Quincy compressor. It was gutted and put back together with new gaskets. Works like a charm. We were getting fed up with our existing compressor which was deafening when it was on.
