Who likes 3D Models?

My background is 3D Modelling and Animation.  I have more than a decade in the industry creating 3D models for a number of different clients, so, I thought I would create a cool little turntable animation showing the E-Crosser LMA V4.

It is about 31 megs in size.  If you have a dial up connection (first I have to ask,"You have dial up?!?) then leave the room, go to you local Starbucks, get a coffee, hang out and flirt with the barista for a good 15 minutes or until they have had enough of you and kicked you out for unwanted sexual advances.

Next, maybe take a walk over to your nearest movie theatre, and buy a ticket to watch a really long movie.  Something epic usually does the trick, those are always more than 2 hours long.  But remember, don't get the one that is just about to start, get a ticket for the one that is at least 2 hours away to start.  After the movie, you can come back home then and see this amazing video of the E-Crosser.

After watching this 10 second video, call up your internet provider and get into the 21st century and get some high speed internet.  Geesh and Enjoy.

E-Crosser LMA V4 - Preliminary Press Report

This last month has been another one of those months with an unplanned family emergency.  I did however, finalize the E-Crosser design and created a press report with some of the specs.

I think I may have mentioned this once, or twice, or maybe even 20 times, but I really like how the E-Crosser has evolved into this kickin' coupe.

Here are the press report pages.

On other exciting news, the Spec-V is finally having a whole new upgraded steering rack installed.  The rack bushing was completely dead and the slop was creating an annoying situation where the steering wheel would change alignment during heavy cornering or even when turning the steering wheel as the car sat still.  There was just too much stress for the OEM bushing and with a "pop" the rack would shift a fraction of an inch, and then I would have instant Angular Steering Wheel Syndrome (or ASWS).  Yes, it's an actual diagnosed syndrome, look it up.

A whole new delrin bushing was lathed out by Wayne at Way's Performance Services (I'm sure I've mentioned that name once or twice on this blog) and this bushing should eliminate any movement in the rack.  Let's hope that this cures this ongoing issue that has been the bane of my existence especially with the sticky R-compound tires.

I'm very excited for this upgrade.
