Here is a little preview of what is to come.

We just got word that Cheryl and Mike over at Performance Specialties Inc took first place at the IMSTAR Fall Nationals in the All Motor Street class this weekend.

Next stop for them is the $5000 all motor shoot out Oct 3rd and 4th at Raceway Park, Englishtown NJ.

I would like to announce and welcome CorSport USA to our line up of distributors.  Corsport is a pleasure to work with and is very well known for their top notch customer service and support in the industry.

I know its been a long while now, but things have been pretty busy here at the shop and I have not had a chance to update anything in a while.

Anyway, last week we knocked out a motor for SportCar Motion… its went into their Integra Type R time attack car.

K24 with 13.7:1 compression as well as a few other little things here and there.

Congrats to Loi and his team over at Sportcar Motion for taking first place in their first showing with the new motor!

Well after being gone for more than a few months testing some new headers, fixing some other small issues we finally got the insight back.

We are doing a quick trans swap and should be bringing it out to the IDRC event in fontana this weekend to have a little fun.

I recently purchased a TSX long block from someone that had been Hydro Locked….. This was the primary damage that I found with the motor. The cylinder walls looked great, just need to be bored out .020 and re-honed for some new pistons and we could put this bad boy back together.  =D

So we got our sample license plate frame in!  They look pretty sweet.

These should start shipping out with orders in the next week or so.

So we got these in the other day. They will be going into a 103 stroke engine that is going to be running GRP aluminum connecting rods. The customer wanted to stay fairly safe with the size of the skirts and went with right around 15:1 CR. Notice the milled out section for the spark plug….

These weigh in at under 330 Grams each.

I decided to toss a rod and piston together to snap a pic.  This motor is going to be a beast.

We just got these in for a Sport Front Wheel Drive engine we are building.
