Maxda RX7


Since this page was put up, Marc has had some more work done to the car, including adding a hi-flowed turbo from a Series 4 RX7 to the combination as well as two new 10-inch Davies-Craig thermo fans. He's also found some white 15-inch Simmons V4 wheels, which lift the looks of the car nicely.

With the new mods, the car's now making 213kW (285hp) at the wheels...which is sure a huge improvement over the factory output somewhere around 75hp at the wheels.

Even with all this power, Marc still drives the car to work every day and it's "still very reliable :-)" according to Marc himself. Top work, Marc, this is a sweet daily driver.

Original Feature Article
This is Marc's Series 2 Mazda RX7. It's a 1983 model, but it's far from how nature intended it to be.

The car sports a 1991 Series 4 RX7 13B turbo engine running a front mount intercooler and Haltech F9 fuel only computer. During a recent rebuild (mid-2002) Marc had the motor treated to a large mild port job and 20B rotor housings. After the rebuild, the car has been dynoed at 174kW at the wheels! That's with a stock turbo and only 7psi (0.5 bar) of boost. I wish my work transport was this much fun...

Gearbox is a Series 4 RX7 unit, and drives the standard Series 2 diff via a three inch tailshaft.

Inside the car, Marc has a 10-stack CD player and 6x9 speakers. Series 3 RX7 front seats keep Marc and his passenger a bit more comfortable and save them from sitting on the carpet.

Ford Focus SVT

For 2004, the critically acclaimed SVT Focus continued to run circles around the sport compact segment with a long list of standard equipment and driving dynamics that peg the “fun-to-drive” meter. While some competitors were concentrating on going fast in a straight line, the SVT Focus delivered its world-class handling in both a three- and five-door bodystyle. SVT's high-revving, high-tech, dual overhead-cam four-cylinder engine put its 170 horsepower to the pavement via new 17-inch, 6-spoke alloy wheels with high-performance tires. The popular European Appearance Package became available this year in both 3- and 5-door configurations, again delivering all available options including a superb stereo/CD, a power sunroof, heated seats, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights and Recaro seats – all backed by Ford's 100,000-mile/5-year powertrain Extended Service Plan+. While SVT was considering a turbocharged version, platform changes in the mainstream Ford Focus and the move to a new assembly facility prompted Ford product planners to suspend production of the SVT Focus after the 2004 model year.


ENGINE
Type: Inline 4-cylinder, cast-iron block, precision die-cast aluminum head, cast aluminum pistons, forged steel connecting rods, nodular cast-iron crankshaft, dual-mass flywheel

Turbo Charge Any Car! Increase Gas Mileage by 24%.

The Turbonator is a non-moving vortex generator that goes inside your air intake hose, right after your air filter.

It is made entirely from stainless steel, requires no maintenance, and only takes 5 minutes and a screwdriver to install. If you don't feel comfortable installing it, have your mechanic do it for you. If he doesn't install it for free, find a new mechanic.

How does it work?
The Turbonator's airflow dynamic produces a swirling, fast-burn effect in the combustion chamber. This creates finer particles of atomized fuel, allowing better flame propagation and more complete combustion.

By enhancing fuel atomization, the Turbonator increases horsepower and fuel economy. An emissions lab, licensed by the EPA conducted tests on non-moving vortex generators that produced results as high as 20 horsepower and 24% increases in mileage. Other independent studies yielded results as high as 35 HP and 31% MPG. Although results varied from vehicle to vehicle, gains were evident, and considering the unit is inexpensive, easy to install, and requires no maintenance, the Turbonator is a worthwhile investment.

Does any one know if these actually work?

Chevy Cobalt Tuner - Hot ride out of the box

If you are looking for a cool looking car and are not inclined to do any modifications yourself, look no further than the Chevy Cobalt. My 10 year old son could barely contain his excitement for the car. The Cobalt is an incredibly hot car starting at $21,990. You can look and feel cool inside the Cobalt while you help out the US economy.

Recently the Cobalt was in a race challenging Nissan Skyline and a nitrous VW Jetta. Driver John Heinricy ran the Cobalt SS Supercharged on a challenging road course at the Buttonwillow Raceway Park, beating both the cars by than seven seconds. The Cobalt SS, which is based on Chevy's new factory-built front-wheel-drive Super Sport, posted a time of 1:58 around Buttonwillow's #13 track configuration.























The Cobalt supercharge version features an all–aluminum dual overhead cam, four–cylinder engine is built off the strengths of the original, naturally aspirated 2.2L ECOTEC engine.
The Eaton M62 supercharger spins at a low rpm, which improves durability and creates less noise while allowing for plenty of top–end power.
