Project S13 Nissan 240SX – Part 2 – Chassis Stiffening For Cheap

Driving the car is also a revelation, with less creaks going up driveways and a noticeably smoother ride over broken pavement. Project 240SX may well see extra bracing and bars soon enough but for one afternoon’s worth of work and less than $100, we’re not complaining.

Test Drive Review – FPV Ford Falcon F6 E

With a factory Garrett GT3540R turbocharger attached to the engine, the F6 E pushes out 416hp at 5,500rpm and 417lb/ft of torque from 1,950 to 5,200rpm. In fact, the F6 E is ludicrous fun in the wet, breaking loose the rear tires with pretty much every full throttle stab.

Project Evo IX – Part 11 – Redline Spring Mountain

We knew that we wouldn’t have the time or the budget to strap on a bigger turbo or a fancy carbon fiber rooftop before we left. We’d be facing 600whp monster Lancer Evos again with our daily driven 350whp (on race gas) street car. Not a problem for the constant underdog OR team, right?
