Holy Braking Power Batman!! A Review of Hawk HP Plus Brake Pads

IMG_5552

For some time now I have been seduced by the magic of hard acceleration and the g forces felt with lowered and stiffer suspension. Absolute joy to drive. Having a conservative nature though, I’ve never really understood the power of braking. Sure it’s obvious how important it is when you watch a Formula One race [...]

Easter 2010 073

I’m about to go to my third track lapping day (in my life) and I am very excited! The new bigger turbo was installed two weeks ago and I can’t wait to really put it through the paces. The tires just can’t get hot enough with daily driving to keep the power to the ground [...]

After adding all the bolt-ons to my 2008 Evo X and pushing over 340whp with a tune from WORKS Motorsports (www.worksevo.com) it was blatantly obvious that I needed to address the lackadaisical handling of the vehicle. Body roll was ridiculous and the car felt far less predictable compared to it’s OE state . On tight turns at the track I was often in tripod mode with the inner rear [...]

All-TRAC Tuned Classic part 2

Engine Parts Clean 2

When we last left our 1989 All Trac Celica, the engine was partially bolted together and our next task was to repair the wiring harness. A 20 year old harness combined with a spaghetti wiring upgrades equals one hell of a mess. The wiring harness was completely stripped of its original loom and was completely [...]
