In preparation for the October 2009 $10k Outlaw FWD Shootout in Englishtown, NJ we have once again started working on the race car. Recently we fitted an Exospeed 3 Piece Wide Front end to the car that will benefit the car in aerodynamics, weight, and of course style for the future events that car attends. Testing will begin shortly in order to prepare for one of the best Sport Compact Racing events of the year. Here are some shots of the newly fitted front end. We are a distributor for the Exospeed Front ends so please inquire for pricing if...

One of the things about our 2008 WRX STi that has irked us from the day we got the car was the clear tail lights. With the use of the Lamin-X Tail Light Overlays we have fixed the appearance and are happy with the outcome. The Lamin-X Overlays are an inexpensive film option that will still allow the correct amount of illumination from the Tail Light bulbs to shine through while completely changing the look of the rear of the car. We chose to cut out the reverse lamp and turn signal sections to give it a great look. Here...

After 6 months of ownership the first modifications have made their way onto our 2008 Subaru WRX STi. With just over 5k miles on the odometer we chose to go with the Cobb Catted Downpipe and a custom tune performed by Omar at Central Florida Turbo. These basic modifications are very easy to perform and provide a decent kick in the butt performance increase for the low cost invested. We chose the Catted Cobb Downpipe since it easily mates to the OEM Catback exhaust and offers only a slight increase in noise level from the OEM Downpipe. The dyno horsepower...

We have had this car for quite some time and we finally got around to doing some basic work to it. 1992 Integra GSR all original about 122,xxx miles This is how it sat when we first purchased it -- hard to find them this stock anymore....

We will soon update the Project Car Section with more information on this vehicle as well as...

It was a tough 2009 debut race for the www.IPGParts.com Drag Civic. Racing in the season opening Battle of the Imports Event at the Orlando Speedworld at least gave us a close to home event to make the first couple of passes on a new gearbox. The 4 month layoff as evident as we just couldn't get the car dialed in as quickly as we would of liked but overall it was an enjoyable event and we didn't break any major parts so that always makes us happy at the end of the day. An ugly 1st round qualifying pass...
