    TransAm Champs, Magnificent M3s and Gulf iPhones from 8380 Laboratories


    TransAm Champs
    The latest designs from the ladies and gentlemen at 8380 Laboratories include magnificent M3s, Trans-American sedan champions and some groovy Gulf digs for your iPhone.
    Featured above is The Trans Am Champs t-shirt and poster design; a celebration of American road racing heritage. The Trans Am Champs design features the champions from ’69 to ’71 in the SCCA’s Trans-American Sedan Series and is available printed on tees printed on Gildan 100% Heavy Cotton, or as a poster.
    M3 Champions
    Up next – 8380 Laboratories’ answer to the question “Would it be possible to accurately depict all of the M3 touring car champions together in one design?” The M3 Champions poster is a spiritual successor to their M3 Streckenkönig t-shirt and takes the form of a 22″ x 30″ poster digitally printed to the highest quality on heavy matte-finish stock.
    iPhone Gulf 908
    “Flying around Targa Florio at 150mph+ with no roof and feet out ahead of the front wheels.”
    Last but certainly not least – a way to pimp out your iPhone in the iconic Gulf livery. 8380 Laboratories’ first iPhone case takes a light and strong Case Mate case and enswathes it in a glorious design based on the Gulf-liveried Porsche 908. Fits iPhone 4, 4S and 5.
    Head to 8380 Laboratories’ site here for these, and a whole lot more.

    TRITON BY MADE IN METAL


    Triton custom motorcycle
    We get quite a few Tritons sent in to Bike EXIF—maybe one every couple of weeks. I’m a big fan of the genre and always enjoying looking at them. But I sometimes think once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.
    Then this modern take on the classic Triton dropped into my inbox, and my jaw hit the floor. Has there ever been a more beautiful marriage of the Triumph T150 engine and a Norton Wideline featherbed frame?

    This Triton comes from a small company called Made In Metal, run out of a shed behind a pub in Staffordshire, England. But it’s no amateur operation. The bikes built by Neil Adams and Paul Stead are masterpieces of craftsmanship, full of beautifully-fabricated parts and assembled with a sympathetic eye for design.

    Made In Metal’s client wanted the absolute best in fabrication, so the bike took several months to build. (Don’t ask what it cost …) The engine has been boosted to 850cc and runs Megacycle cams, Omega pistons and Carillo rods. A substantial helping of magnesium alloy has dropped the weight by 10 kg over a stock T150 motor.

    The gearshift is on the right-hand side and operates a Quaife five-speed ‘box. The frame is built from T45 tubing—a carbon-manganese steel popular in the aircraft industry—and is brazed rather than welded. And the exhaust is coated with Zircotec, a high temperature heat barrier used by several F1 race teams.

    There’s a great tale behind this build, which started with a bet over a pint of beer at last year’s Isle of Man TT. Head over to The Rider’s Digest for the story.
