No I am not going to talk about those dumb book shops that sell coffees, videos, ipods and tampons. You know the ones. Or am I going to talk about that hideous green car audio company of the same name. The dictionary states fusion as being the bonding of two different objects together. Its also mentions something about chemical reactions and so on but we don’t have time for that. I my opinion my mates EK that I am helping build contains a little bit of fusion.

His drivers seat setup is three differently branded parts bonded together to execute one hell of a setup. He has a black Sparco Sprint V bucket, Vision Technica Super Low seat rails and Bride Tuning Seat Pads. So his Italian seat held in by a Japanese rail and his Australian arse held in tighter by some Japanese Bride pads? All good man. I have seen people talk about they only use X branded parts and to mix and match would be f’d up like washing your socks a jar of salsa. WRONG! This blend of parts work so well and the combo was purely chosen because parts were needed, and these ones would do the job. Not to save money or get forum pussy.

Some people to need to stress less and enjoy the enormous variety of parts we can choose from. Spoon, Mugen and friends wouldn’t be so cool if that’s all we could buy. I am for one also so sick of seeing photos from a meet where like 9 out of 10 dudes are rocking the exact same shit. You got to diversify yo shit y’all! Variety is the spice of the life and with good variety comes cool little ‘fusions’ popping up all around the place.

So the next time you are online shopping for a new part, instead of searching by brand, search by part, you might find something you didn’t know about. Hell, it could be just as good as your mate’s, the brand Nazi, new whats-a-ma-jigger he got last week. Do it.

Postscript: The photo above does show the discussed ‘fusion’ covered in grime, dust and dirt. Please forgive us; building a car in a garden shed is dirty work!
