An introductory look at the Sierra Sierra Enterprises Mitsubishi EVO 8 Unlimited Class US Time Attack car. I think this car is the cleanest built unlimited time attack car to date.

Hyundai 4B11 Arrives at Cosworth

My buddy Simon at Hyundai arranged for us to examine a Hyundai 4B11 in depth at Cosworth. We'll dig into it and see if our components will work with the Hyundai version. We have a 2.2L stroker kit, pistons, rods, cams, valve springs, etc. for the Mitsubishi EVO X 4B11T. Tri-metal engine bearings and CNC ported big valve cylinder head are just a couple months behind. Hopefully most of it crosses over so some Hyundai owners can buy into some instant Cosworth gratification.

Honda S2000 Wheel Stand

The words Honda and wheelie never really go together, but here's a video of the InlinePRO S2000 showing the V8s in the world what's really going down.

Ken sent me a link to some cool videos from 1981 on the Cosworth DFV Formula engine. These are pretty interesting:

Tuning, Life, Beef Ribs and Remodeling

A couple months ago when Ben and Roland from Pi were visiting from the UK, we were having dinner somewhere and this conversation came up about tuning. I think we all ordered big ass beef BBQ ribs at Lucille's that night. Ben finished the ENTIRE full rack. Believe it or not, they don't have big ass tender tasty meaty beef ribs in the UK. They do have the best Guinness in the world, but that still doesn't quite make up for the missing beef ribs. Anyhow, as I remember the conversation it went a little something like this (in full on English accents except for me):

Roland, "You going to move into that big house and work on the t...

AVO Widebody STI @ HyperMeet 2009 - Tsukuba

I'm not sure what happened to the camera mount, but pretty cool in car video. Ross Wilson from AVO Turboworld was behind the wheel. Ross used to drive all kinds of race cars back in Australia, but he dusted off his years of absence behind the wheel and took to the track. The AVO GDB has an all sheet metal widebody so it is ultra nice. The Cosworth long block keeps the 600bhp engine reliable of course. The lap time looks to be about 1:00. At the Hypermeet you must use full tread street tires excluding the cheater A-048s, R888, etc.

Super Street: Reader's Rides

I was flipping through an old Super Street Magazine from 2008 and I saw an image that looked familiar. The background, the toolbox, and the turbo all looked familiar. Then it struck me: Vanessa's was fondling the old turbo from my GS300 between her thighs while sitting on top of Pete's Snap-On box at XS Engineering. ...
