If you are like most, coming down off of the year end Holiday high and into the first month of the new year can be almost depressing. Back to your normal work routine, workout schedule, parties and gatherings seems to be non-existent – what is there to look forward to? ImagineAuto is here to [...]

The incredible, edible potato.
Posted in Poppycock, Uncategorized on December 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I’m all about the poppycock. I like just saying poppycock. Another thing I’m all about is the potato. It’s one of the ugliest things I eat. It’s one of the most beautiful things I eat, too! Exhibit number one. Who ever saw this thing in the ground and thought “Ooh, I can’t wait to stuff that thing in my [...]
A few updates

Back in October I posted about our latest EFI conversion project, a 1986 930 Turbo. Since then much progress has been made. After clearing up a few issues with timing, wiring, and other delays the car is now completely wired and running. This car being a twelve-plug waste-spark ignition system with six dual-ended coils led to [...]

So I blogged the other day that it was cold and snowy here in KC and that I was longing for sun and warmth. I should have kept my mouth shut because since last week we, as well as much of the Midwest, have endured a very damaging ice storm. Everyone at IA was lucky not [...]
Slap happy popcockiness.

The way I figure it is, if you’re at this blog, you’re at work looking for a way to waste some time. Or you own an Audi that used it’s turbos as projectile missiles, trying to wage war against your engine and were guided here to view the carnage. If time wasting is what you seek, [...]
Cayman facelift
Posted in 911 Porsche, Auto Enthusiast, Cayman, Projects, porsche body kit, porsche performance on December 11, 2007 | 2 Comments »
To most the Cayman has slipped into Porsche’s line-up unnoticed, blending into the overwhelming crowd of boxters. Let’s be honest, the boy racer bumpers and pint sized duck tail spoiler don’t exactly command respect. However there is hope. Like one of our recent customers, many Cayman owners are choosing to give their cars a more [...]
911 Turbo Rod change
Posted in 911, 911 Porsche, 997TT, Forced induction, Porsche, Projects, engine builder, engine rebuild, porsche performance, turbo Porsche, tagged Often on December 9, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I am always amazed when people call to talk about our engine builds and how shocked they are that the case halves do not need to be split in order to change rod bearings. I have been building motors for about 17 years now and have always done this. Often a customer will have a low [...]
Santa Paws Is Coming To Town.

It was time to take some snap shots for the 2007 Christmas family ornaments. Things started off in the wrong direction.
I did what any man does when he wants something from one of his ladies…
I bribed her!
That’s more like it!
Santa Paws even has a little helper. I was quite skeptical about this guy getting a [...]

As I sit here at home on this Saturday morning in December unable to get out of the house because of the sheet of ice covering the streets, I long for warmer days knowing it is going to be a while! But it reminded me that we had not yet broadcast the fact that our [...]
What do you drive?
Posted in Porsche, Uncategorized on December 6, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Not only do we modify customer’s cars, but we of course also own and modify our own Porsches, VW’s, and BMW’s (With the occasional Range Rover….but he is a little off anyhow..). When I am not working on customer’s cars, I do actually find a little time to work on my own. I’ve [...]
