KINETIC CUSTOM MACHINE

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 just released our S2000 battery trays! www.lighterisbetter.com

Our FRS and BRZ #Lighterisbetter battery trays are finalized! www.lighterisbetter.com

Drove up the coast up to Laguna Seca a few months ago to watch MotoGP, here are a few highlights.

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!

Here are a couple of photos of our drop test rig. It's designed to be guided by a 24 foot piece of extruded aluminum.

The Japanese Classic Car Show was last weekend, here are a few highlights!

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!

We've been commissioned by 311RS to create a slew of machined parts. This is the start of the battery tray that will be used in their first production model!

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!

Our latest project we are working on is lightweight car battery trays. This is the beginnings of a prototype tray for the NSX.

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. 

We are proud to announce that the Sonastand 5 for the iPhone 5 is available to purchase!

The Sonastand is made in the USA, from the ground up.
