<p>As we can see from the images, this Integra is has been worked out very carefully and despite having some extensive bodywork changes it manages to keep in with the flow and style of the original body shape, which is what makes this build interesting. The average man in the street would be able to recognise what this car is, even after the modifications and this is important when it come to import builders, they don’t a car they is not easily recognisable.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/auto-parts/classic-acura-integra-si-from-1994/attachment/35575_227078/" ><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4223" title="35575_227078" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/35575_227078-501x375.jpg" alt="" width="501" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Under the hood there has been a little bit of work, but in all the right places, with Apexi and Turbonetics replacing the original parts, with upgrades to the braking and suspension systems essential to cope with the additional power produced. In all this is a real smart piece of work that keeps the original look and yet still shows off the skills of the import builder too, which is what it is all about.</p>

<p>However, it does not have to be like this at all, turbos were first used in aircraft engines as a way of reducing the power losses achieved at high speeds and the reduced air pressure at altitude. But soon the <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger" >turbo</a> was finding its way under the hood of production cars as way of increasing power and improving fuel economy, with GM adding a turbo to the <a target="_blank" href="http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/Oldsmobile/olds-1960-1970.html" >Oldsmobile Cutlass Jetfire</a> in 1962.

<p>Basically the turbo is a centrifuge powered by the engines own exhaust gases, it will create high pressure at the time of each engine stroke, this forces a higher mass mixture into the cylinders and therefore improving performance at every stroke of the engine. Nevertheless, this would not work without a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tialsport.com/prod_wg.htm" >wastegate</a>, this simple prevents the pressure from getting too high by venting any excess gases that have built up inside the turbo, and too much pressure can mean critical engine damage!</p>

<p>Choosing a new turbo is fairly easy these days, basically the car owner needs to decide whether to go for power or cost, in general terms it is always seemed better to go for a slightly smaller turbo as this is going to be easier and indeed more fun drive, but you lose power from the top end. It seems that a smaller turbo would be better for road cars, while performance and track cars go for the biggest turbo possible to get the maximum out of their engine.</p>
<p>Points to consider when looking at buying a new Turbo for your car;</p>
<blockquote><p>POWER:</p>
<p>• Think in horsepower not boost.</p>
<p>• Boost is just a number that you will have to run on your engine to make a certain <a target="_blank" href="http://www.howstuffworks.com/horsepower.htm" >horsepower</a>.</p>
<p>• How much power do you want to make? Be realistic, the more accurate that you are, the better tuned your forced induction system will be.</p>
<p>• Can your vehicle (not just the engine, but the entire setup) handle such power?</p>
<p>• Remember the turbocharger is generally not the weakest link.</p>
<p>•Forged pistons, connecting rods, head studs, etc.</p>
<p>• “As much as possible” is not a goal.</p>
<p>INTENDED USAGE:</p>
<p>• What are you using the vehicle for?</p>
<p>• Race or street use?</p>
<p>• The way that you will be using the vehicle dramatically changes the sizing of the turbocharger and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hksusa.com/categories/?id=1078" >intercooler</a> needs.</p>
<p>• Your choice of transmission type and gearing will greatly affect the performance and characteristics of the turbocharger, keep this in mind.</p>
<p>PACKAGING:</p>
<p>• Will the turbocharger(s) fit in your vehicles space constraints? Consider using differently sized compressor housings to more easily fit a given location.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Speed and power are the goals of most performance tuners when working on their project cars. Many have turned to turbo kits, since turbo charging a car is the most cost effective way to dramatically increase the horsepower and torque of any engine. The turbo system works by utilizing the exhaust gases to spin a turbine, in which the compressor wheel sucks in and forces atmospheric air into the air intake of the engine. More air into the engine means more fuel will be needed. More air and more fuel equal more power.

<p>However, the RX-7 is a sports coupe, a car worthy of being looked at as being cool and stylish; this is where the team behind the Genki 7 Mazda RX-7 build have their work cut out.

<p>One of the main features of this build is that huge spoiler at the rear; it looks odd because it breaks up the line of the car. However, this carbon fibre beauty, adds a touch a performance car to the RX-7 if it ever needed it and because it has been left in the natural colour, it stands out more than it would if they had colour coded the spoiler.</p>

<p>Basically, what they have done here with this RX-7 is taken a good car and made it into a great car by using their knowledge of racing and aerodynamics to produce this brilliant looking car. This RX-7 would be equally at home on the track or cruising down the highway on the way to the local super store to collect the week’s groceries; one thing is for sure this is RX-7 that turns heads wherever it goes.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[You may think that there is little that could or should be done to the great Lexus IS 350, after all this is a luxury vehicle designed to carry suited execs to and from their air conditioned offices in style and with as much ease as possible, clearly nobody told Matt Snell that! It seems that although the car is still a luxury motor, with its leather seats and technology laden dashboard. But that is inside the car behind those dark tinted windows, on the outside it is a slightly different story, there is no sign of chrome or colour, the entire car is finished in black and that adds to the image of the machine. This is car that offered the buyer a choice of the 3.0 litre V6, 3.5 litre V6 or the fantastic 5.0 V8 engines, as well as the choice of a six speed auto or manual gearboxes, or the specialist eight speed automatic gearbox. The car had a power output ranging from 200 HP to over 400 HP and that is what you call power. Sure, this is more down to looks and image, rather than performance and why not the car already produces enough &#8230; <a href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/auto-parts/sleek-and-black-lexus-is-350/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

But that is inside the car behind those dark tinted windows, on the outside it is a slightly different story, there is no sign of chrome or colour, the entire car is finished in black and that adds to the image of the machine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/auto-parts/sleek-and-black-lexus-is-350/attachment/639-car-pics-105small/" ><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3707" title="639-car-pics-105small" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/639-car-pics-105small-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This is car that offered the buyer a choice of the 3.0 litre V6, 3.5 litre V6 or the fantastic 5.0 V8 engines, as well as the choice of a six speed auto or manual gearboxes, or the specialist eight speed automatic gearbox. The car had a power output ranging from 200 HP to over 400 HP and that is what you call power.</p>

<p>Sure, this is more down to looks and image, rather than performance and why not the car already produces enough power and yet still has the ability to turn heads as it glides by, which is what modifying a car is all about.</p>

<p>Product Description for the DC Sports 4-2-1 Ceramic Coated Performance Exhaust Manifold Header;</p>
<blockquote><p>You know you have to have a DC header on your sport compact to really get the most out of your engine&#8217;s abilities. All the air you can squeeze into the cylinders does not make a bit of difference if the burned gasses cannot get out efficiently. In addition, guess what: your factory manifold is not efficient. A DC header, on the other hand, is made up of individual runners heading back to a common collector. Compare that to your stock manifold, which most likely looks like a log that all the cylinders have to dump into. Since each cylinder gets its own individual exhaust pipe on the DC header, you avoid competing exhaust pulses, backpressure, and unequal pressures, all of which can stop the exhaust in its tracks and robbed your engine of precious horsepower. A DC Sports header will ensure that you get the most out of your induction system. There is no mistake with stainless steel used throughout, thick, laser cut flanges, machine welds, and ceramic coating to enhance engine efficiency your DC Sports header will help you get the most for a long time to come.</p></blockquote>

<p>Product Description of the Honda Civic D16Z6 OBX Individual Throttle Body;</p>
<blockquote><p>OBX Individual Throttle Body Kits allow the engine to operate more efficiently by decreasing pumping losses to achieve more horsepower. By allowing a single throttle body to feed air to each individual cylinder, throttle response can be improved dramatically. The decreased intake tract restrictions also improve horsepower with proper engine management tuning. OBX Individual Throttle Body Kits are the perfect upgrade to any naturally aspirated vehicle to achieve great throttle response, increased horsepower and better drivability on the track or street.</p></blockquote>

<p>But this is not so, drifting is a major attraction now and the sport is still growing with younger fans joining in the scene and their ideas of what a drifting car should look like will soon be turning up at events. This is what makes the drifting culture attractive and cars like this Mazda helps, with its stripped down body and 2.3 litre engine bearing the name Cosworth and capable to almost touching 300 HP, now that is what drifting is all about.</p>

<p>The All Stars as you can imagine is a team, they have three of these cars all running around the same and competing in the prestigious competitions that have become so popular along the west coast of the US. but there is plenty of tough competition out there from teams that have been into drifting from the beginning and that is what makes drifting so exciting for us, everyone is just one drift away from success or disaster!</p>

<blockquote><p>Leading the way in bolt-on turbo kits for normally-aspirated engines, GReddy turbo kits provide instant horsepower gains with less time and money while still having the potential for upgrading for even more power. Designed with turbochargers at the beginning end of their efficiency range, gives the buyer the option to increase power levels substantially, before having to ever upgrade the kitÆs turbo. Unlike most turbo kits on the market today, our turbo kits are specifically designed for optimal response and performance while maintaining drivability, comfort and reliability. Since they are based on completely stock engines, these kits come with all the necessary basics, manifold, turbocharger, downpipe adapter, piping, hardware and heat shields, in most kits; they even include pre-tuned fuel enrichment. A few of the kits are covered under CARB E.O. numbers, which make them 50-state street legal. If competition use is your goal, there are many GReddy upgrades (intercoolers, blow-off valves, fuel management and boost controllers) to boost the power output even further.</p></blockquote>

<p>Of course it is not all about lighting, this car has had a complete modification, so that means under the hood we are going to be looking at something special! The new larger 2.4 litre engine means more power on its own, but it does not stop there the work in the engine compartment is extensive and the result means better performance from the improved power output.</p>

<p>The interior has been left more or less, as it came out of the factory, apart from the addition of the obligatory blue neon lighting system, which gives the cars interior a complete different outlook without much work being done inside. It is a cool idea and a real show stopping feature even though it may give you a headache after a while!</p>

<p>Product Description for the specially strengthened to handle adjustable bars;</p>
<blockquote><p>Product Details: The standard sway bar links are very compliant. The rubber bushes easily distort, while the actual plastic link flexes under load. This may be quite acceptable for everyday use; however, it does severely limit the effectiveness of the sway-bars.  Even worse, if you use high performance options like Blade Adjustable.  The original Rear Links distort enough to reduce the rear bar rate by up to 80kg of force. Aftermarket sway bars add even higher loads, which can lead to premature cracks and mounting failure. Fit bigger rear bars with confidence or just upgrade your OE brackets to remove mounting flex. Specially strengthened to handle adjustable bars. Notes: Replacement type: 20mm. Includes 1. Fits: Hyundai &#8211; Coupe RD (96-01)</p></blockquote>

<p>However, this yellow and black Mazda RX 8, succeeds on all counts, it has the look and it has the mechanical modifications to show that the builder absolutely understands what the car stands for, even before thinking about any changes. It is a risk that has been totally successful and we could be looking at one of the best modified Mazda RX 8’s around, unless anyone knows any different!</p>

<p>The great thing about this car, is that it has not been built for the pleasure of cruising around the local roads, this is a real racer, in fact, more than that this is a real winner and despite a few initial set backs, this is a car on its way to glory. Sure, there is some fine tuning to be done but that is something that occurs with any build, let alone a car designed to race.</p>

The Air filter has Ram Air capability, by hooking up the hose to the top of the air filter. The intake has another Air Passage way inside the intake pipe to create an Air Fusion, imagine two different pathways of air inside the intake pipe, one air travelling in pathway #1 going 2 x faster than pathway #2.
