Constructed of a smooth 1-piece polished aluminum tube, the air flow is unobstructed and offers a significant visual upgrade to the engine bay. The intake tube is capped with aFe’s new Pro Dry S filter which requires no oil for the utmost filtration. Blocking 99.2% of the particulate, this synthetic media prevents all kinds of direct and debris from entering the motor, yet hauls in all kinds of fresh, clean air.

When Lexus took a serious swing at the BMW M cars, their first attempt was nothing short of spectacular. To run with the Germans, the interiors had to be luxurious, suspensions had to be on-point and the power output had to be comfortably in the 40 [ … ]

The kit features Wilwood’s popular Dynalite 4-piston calipers for some serious clamping force. The caliper can be ordered in either red or black for a personalized look. The rotors are Wilwood’s 2-piece design featuring lightweight aluminum hats bolted to cast iron discs to resist warping. The compact 11-inch rotors can be ordered in regular or slotted and drilled surfaces to dissipate heat.

When it comes to dirt-cheap auto-crossing and tracking, you can’t do much better than a Mazda Miata. If you can get past the whole “chick car” thing these roadsters are agile rockets around quick tight courses. Add R-Compounds and a turbo and they are difficult to outrun, but that also makes them [ … ]

One wheel that we were really impressed with was the Privat Legende. This wheel reminds us of a classic Kinesis wheel from years past which cost $1,200 each. Since that wheel was cost prohibitive, the Private Legende is a great design with a simple machined 2-step lip with a 5-spoke face. The spokes gently taper towards the rim and feature a slight kink in the side profile to clear calipers. The rim is available with the machined lip and a Matte Graphite face for that upscale look.

 

It seemed like only yesterday that Konig was one of the few manufacturers on the market with impressive wheel designs at affordable prices. Well, today the wheel marketplace is a crowded one and Konig has done their homework to stay ahead of the curve with all kinds of new designs that function [ … ]

The T5001 Cerametallic discs have a 6-puck design that offer extreme heat resistance versus some of the other materials out there. The discs are sandwiched between the billet steel plates to provide a huge amount of surface area for engagement. Depending on vehicle the center hub can be ordered either with a sprung hub for smoother daily driving or a solid hub for an all-out assault on the strip or track.

When it comes to clutch selection, many enthusiasts overstate what torque they currently make and go all out insane when they speculate about future performance. I’m guilty of it myself having installed a triple carbon clutch that was rated for around double what my torque output was. But like man [ … ]

The coilover marketplace has indeed become a very crowded one. It wasn't so long ago that there were only a handful of JDM companies offering coilovers and the European applications were both expensive and in short supply. It is well known that many JDM coilovers were quite often private labeled b [ … ]
