Last thursday KCDA held it’s second Drifting event at Heartland Park’s skidpad. This time the course was set up a bit differently.

While normally I don’t post what someone else has written I found this article amusing. The bantering in the Nissan vs. Porsche world has been as bad as any Vett Vs Porsche argument I have ever seen.
Porsche has just run its own back-to-back tests with the Japanese company’s GT-R supercar and says it could [...]

We have a very good customer that has sent various cars to us in the past. One of his priors was a very nice 91 965 that after 3 weeks of mods the car was truly to die for. As all things come to pass so did this car. No sooner than it sold I [...]

Last saturday night we had a little get together out in Olathe. Basically a bunch of us from the Kansas City Drift Association thought it was time to get together, check out some cars, and give everybody a chance to meet each other. We had a pretty good turn out with plenty of cool drift [...]

Imagine you have built a very strong 996TT motor. All the things you have done in the past, knowing they work well. What happens if you make more power than you are suppose to? Imagine making 700+ AWHP on the dyno with the HP scale going up and up and all the sudden….well lets just [...]

Like anyone I was up bright and early to place the lower end of our monster 996TT motor together. Part of that process is placing the rods on the crankshaft. In most cases of factory rods engine-builders have been tightening rod bolts with a torque wrench and getting away with it. But in today’s high-performance [...]
