| Project Husqvarna TE610 Part 2: Dual Sport Adventure Bike Fundamental Fixes
By Dan Barnes
As outlined in Part 1, if a Husqvarna TE610 matches the description of the bike you want, then there really isn't any other bike that does. Things didn't go the way I expected when I got the Husky home to my garage and started going over it. The plan was to get the bike home, change the oil, clean the air filter and chain, and go ride. But with the grease and dirt removed, I could actually see the chain guide. There was work to do.

The Dakar Rally is underway in South America. We get some reaction to The Dakar adventure from a rally legend who won longer events in his career. And we talk with an American who all but won the event in a prestigious career with Volkswagen in Africa and South America. It's another week of Winners, Champions and Legends on Tech House & Speed!

While no doubt some of you have heard of the 24 Hours of Daytona, I'm guessing far fewer have heard of the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series. Which is too bad, because the cars are pretty damn cool and the racing is ultra competitive. Even in our world of attention spans that are stretched by five-lap RallyCross events, plenty of excitement can be found in sports car racing – which, at their shortest, are two hours and forty-five minutes.

Project 370Z: Part 1 - Testing the AEM ETI Cold Air Intake
(Video Inside!)
By Mike Kojima
Nissan’s 370Z is a pretty damn good car. It is a nice improvement over the already good 350Z; it is more powerful, handles better, is lighter, stiffer and faster. We wonder why it doesn’t sell all that well as we feel that it is a class leading car at a reasonable price. Perhaps in this sluggish economy, the market for a mid priced two seat sports car, which for many people is a second or third car is too much of a luxury.

There's no way to describe The Dakar Rally other than to say it's an adventure. In every definition of the word and concept, it's an adventure. It's even an adventure to follow. Sure there's enormous competition between man and machine but the largest competition is between man and the elements, the actual matrix in which the competition takes place. There's nothing like it in the competitive world. Not even the Tour de France experiences such extremes in competition with entrants and competition with the environment.

Project G20 Racecar: AEM AQ-1 Data Logger Install
By Steve Rockwood
My memory is horrible. Outside of which landmarks to aim for, my recollection of what I just did to nail that last corner just right is downright absent, and I couldn't really even tell you if it actually was nailed just right. Peak coolant temp on that last session? Hell if I know, seemed fine when I bothered to look at it. A/F ratios? The guy behind me said I shot flames on decel, so rich would be my guess. Intake temps? No clue. The fact is, there's a lot going on inside a racecar, and it requires a whole hell of a lot more of my attention than I can give. Enter the AEM AQ-1 Data Logger.

Project Evo X GSR- Testing the Greddy RS Catback Exhaust System
By Mike Kojima
In our last edition of Project Evo X GSR, we tested the K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake with excellent results. Since the next logical choice in the path to modding our car is to free up the exhaust, we went to our friends at Greddy to get one of their RS exhaust systems to evaluate. The Greddy RS is a new line of exhausts that are constructed much like their race only systems. The main differences in the RS exhausts are that they allow the use of the stock catalytic converter and do not feature exotic titanium in their construction.

Cheng was born in 1989, in China where he spent the first six years of his childhood before moving to Washington. This is where his early interest in motor sports began. A self-titled adrenaline junkie, Cheng remembers his passion for racing beginning at age four when he saw a glimpse of a Formula One race on the television set.

Project V8 RX-7: Part 7 - Bringing the E-ROD LS3 to Life! (Almost)
by Jeff Naeyaert
Now that we've checked "mount the engine and transmission" off our E-ROD LS3 swap checklist we can turn our attention to all the little things needed to get our RX-7 on the road. What's left? We need a fuel pump, cooling system, shifter, driveshaft, exhaust and we still have all the wiring left to do. In this episode, we figure we can tackle the fuel and cooling systems as well as the wiring before we put you to sleep. Let's get to work!
