A trip to Englandshire.

Posted by Andi Gordon on June 19, 2013 at 8:06pm 8 Comments

One of the best thing about staying in Fife (that's in East Central Scotland for those without exemplary geographical knowledge) is the drifting spots. We have Crail's famous 8val, once a year for when the British Drift Championship rolls into town we have Knockhill, and as off this coming weekend we have Driftland. That's a lot for one little peninsula. It can however get a bit samey from time to time. So when I heard about a practise day planned by the awesome folks at Teesside Drifting, a car journey was most certainly in order.…

AmD Performance Exhaust and Remap for Vauxhall Astra Mk6 VXR

Posted by EurotuningNews.com on June 18, 2013 at 12:30pm 0 Comments

AmD and their tuning partners Milltek have both been working on a range of tuning package for the latest Mk6 Vauxhall Astra VXR.



Milltek have developed a 76mm mandrel-bent stainless steel performance exhaust system that  includes a ‘Euro 5’ spec 200-cell sports catalyst as part of the standard specification. The exhaust/Sports-CAT maintains full OBD compliance, so there are no annoying false warning lights on the dash – and there’s an extra 10bhp with increased torque. The turbo also spools up some 200rpm quicker with this system. These improvements made this system an ideal base for AmD to work their magic on.



AmD Tuning’s software upgrade works in harmony with the exhaust upgrade making the power and torque gains increase dramatically over those gained by fitting the…

[Mini Feature] Aimee's Civic on Pink Rota's

Posted by Ben Gaut on June 15, 2013 at 12:28pm 0 Comments

Well the title pretty much says it all this is Aimee's Civic on Pink Rota's. i have been wanting to shoot this for a while as she only lives down the road from me but was such a pain to organise a shoot as she never thinks the car is clean enough. After agreeing to help her out one night and EK9 her headlights, she promised i could shoot the civic finally! So we popped down to a newly built industrial estate and grabbed some shots.

Posted by James Tremain on June 14, 2013 at 11:12pm 5 Comments

On the plus side the detour did take us through some lovely vallies and villages, also the awesome winding roads...…

Sun, Smoke and Sideways all over!

Posted by Dave Cox on June 13, 2013 at 7:30pm 4 Comments

Round 2 of the British Drift Championship was an event I was looking forward to for many reasons. A few of which include the fact that our buy, Luke Woodham, has some new power gains which would help him out massively. Team Black Smoke were going to be in attendance and finally, and in my eyes, most importantly, it was a new track!

 

 

That track was none other than Pembrey Race Circuit...and boyyy did it not disappoint!!!

"Cheers Dave, I must admit, you can get a bit spoiled for choice up here at times.  Teesside literally rocks, and you can get super close to the action especially on the National circuit that the BDC uses.Lot's of good spots."
