Now that Rado's World Racing team has seemingly moved on to the FWING 2.0 and the new body Scion tC, I don't think they'll mind if I share some detailed pictures of the FWING 1.0 AWD car. As like many of the fastest pro/unlimited time attack teams are always doing around the world, WR is constantly pushing the boundaries of useable horsepower.

I just recently completed Eibach lowering springs and anti-sway bars upgrade on my 08 Infiniti G37S Coupe. My question is when and where should I use threadlocker (red/blue) or Loctite? Different sources say different things, but is there a rule of thumb for applying these adhesives?

During my visit to the Indy 500 last year, I got the chance the day before the race to visit the museum and hall of fame. If you appreciate race cars of all ages and varieties, then the museum at Indy should definitely on your bucket list. All kinds of race cars were on display. What interested me the most was seeing how the old school (turn of the century) builders used to build 'em. Lots of pics after the jump.
Industry Press Release
Radium's new line of fuel surge tanks ensure engines receive a steady supply of fuel under all conditions. Multiple configurations allow builders to choose which is best for their application. Perfect for road race, drag, drift, and all other high powered vehicles. Details and pictures after the jump.

Lately I have been searching for information about "water to air intercoolers." I have seen these in some of your articles but not much information is mentioned.
Now that the dust has settled from WTAC 2011 itself and the thrashing to prepare in the weeks prior to the event, I'm going to attempt to do an overview of the 10 fastest cars @ WTAC 2011. It seems there was plenty of coverage of the event and the cars on sites, blogs, picture hosting sites, etc. but nowhere could I find a summary of the 10 fastest cars in one place. Looking to build or bring a car to the WTAC 2012 Pro class? Look no further because this is your guide to your competition.
The brand spanking new Ken Block Gymkhana Four video inside. Also some specs on the Ken Block's 2011 Ford Fiesta. Plus some behind the scenes pics during my stint as a data analysis guy for the Monster World Rally Team at Universal Studios. BTW, there are no rappers and no light bulbs in this one.
The Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC) 2011 was a massive success for the promoters, competitors, fans, sponsors, and vendors alike. Ian, Nathan, Kyle, the announcers, and the volunteers who all make up the World Time Attack Challenge and Superlap Australia successfully put on the best damn Time Attack event anywhere in the world to date! But there were some controversies and I attempt to clear them up here.
The World Time Attack Challenge is coming up pretty fast next week on August 5 and 6. There have been some changes made to the EVO since winning the 2010 Source Interlink Superlap Battle final at Buttonwillow, but we've been pretty quiet about updates mostly because we've all been pretty busy concentrating on other things. Mike, Jet, Richard, and Ron have been able to squeeze in some work between the Ferrari races and I've been able to get up to Sierra Sierra a couple times for some engine testing in between my 900 other tasks and travels. The results are pretty cool I think considering what little time we've been able to spend on the EVO. Will the changes be enough to fend off the new domestic Australian and Japanese competitors? I sure as hell hope so. Pictures are inside after the jump.
