Switzer E900 Nissan GT R E85
Switzer Performance thinks 800 hp are not enough for the mighty Godzilla, so they gave it an extra 100 hp with the Switzer E900 Nissan GT-R E85. Yes, it runs on ethanol. In case you didn't know, petrol engine modified to run on E85 ethanol usually gains hp. So, they fitted the Switzer E900 Nissan GT-R E85 with an ethanol ready engine. However, after their experience with the 800 hp P800 power pack for the GTR, putting more stress on the transmission with an additional 100 hp was too much. It appears that the major development brought by the Switzer E900 Nissan GT-R E85 is it's newly developed transmission that can handle the 900 hp developed by the engine. The tuner says its development took several months. The engine modifications brought by the Switzer E900 Nissan GT-R E85 include a re-developed fuel system to handle the ethanol and larger injectors.

How to Make Bacon from Scratch
Bacon. It has a wonderful place in human history. Humans have eaten it for thousands of years, traded it as a staple of economies, and most recently, turned it into an internet meme. It’s no mystery why we have a love affair with Bacon. It’s the Christina Hendricks of meat products. The smell of bacon soothes a crying infant. Vegetarians make exceptions for bacon. Bacon is the closest we can get to empirically proving the existence of God. Bacon, for lack of a better word, is The Sh*t. All the aforementioned could be said about store-bought bacon. The thing is, I had heard whispers that bacon from scratch—cured, smoked, and cut at home—puts store-bought bacon to profound shame. I didn’t think it was possible to improve on perfection, but I had to find out. And so I bravely set out to into the unknown to discover the lost art of homemade bacon, by which I mean I turned off Extreme Home Makeover, got off my ass and looked it up online.

Teenager Scales Walls With A Home-made Gadget
Most little boys grow up wishing they had the superpowers of comic book heros such as Spider-Man or Superman. But schoolboy Hibiki Kono has turned that childhood fantasy into reality after using his design technology lessons to build a suction contraption that lets him scale walls like Spider-Man. The 13-year-old told today how he fulfilled his dream of climbing buildings like the fictional web-spinning super hero by designing a backpack-mounted gadget that harnesses the power of two cut-price Tesco vacuum cleaners to pin him to the walls using wooden suction pads attached to the vacuums' nozzles. Hibiki then dazzled classmates by demonstrating the device's power by climbing the school wall during morning assembly. Today the schoolboy told how he had grown up watching the Spider-Man movies and reading Marvel Comic strips about the superhero's feats which had left him in thrall of his special powers.
