Possible explanation of battery problems?!?! haha

I bought a new stereo the other day : [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kenwood-KVT-920DVD-DVD-playback/dp/B00007BKR3[/url] and sat nav add on unit so i thought i would tackle the joys of changing the stereo over . . .





To the people who know skylines this isnt as easy as most cars . . .

for a start you have to take half the dash off just to get to it and then it is bolted in to the cage within the dash! Stereo keys would be so much easier!!



Then i took out the stereo… Continue

Rumours: 2WD Lamborghini Gallardo?

We’re hearing rumours that Lamborghini are working on an LP560 special edition that does away with the 4WD system that fitted to all Lamborghini’s nowadays. The news comes from posters over at lambopower.com where they think that power could also be reduced to 550bhp in the special edition, making it an LP550-2.





The new version would not be a successor to the SuperLeggera, the previous generation retained it’s 4WD system, instead it… Continue

Latest Progress

Hi guys.



Most progress on the cars has been put on hold for a while due to a expansion project that we are now midway through completing.



Our workshop is being extended sideways by 15 meters which will allow much more freedom for us to work on cars, ie ability to have two cars side by side which is ideal for doing engine transplants etc.



That being said the 306 is still having bits and bobs rust proofed and the time the above situation gives us will hopefully… Continue

Garage tools become the cool

Garage tools are really not the most exciting items to chat about? Or are things about to change? If these new ramps from Optimum Balance are anything to go by then garage tools are about to become cooler than a penguins nut-sack.



As the credit crunch strikes, doing jobs on your own car is becoming more and more important if you want to save those vital pennies for extra mods. These new ramps not only look great, they've also been designed with performance cars in mind. The 1.1 metre… Continue

Quick Wheel Refurb

My wheels have been looking a bit of a state recently.



Too many washes by the local polish brigade with TFR and me obviously not using enough cleaner when i first got the car lead to marbling of the rims and the brake dust being baked in to the rim.



After a few different cleaners from Alex Creasey at Serious Performance we finally found one that combined with elbow grease seems to have worked!



The wonder stuff was Finish Kare #394 Chrome and brass polish finised… Continue

Casio hooks up with Redbull F1 Team

In F1 every split-second counts out on the track and even in the pits. The kings of time, Casio have become partners with the Redbull team and to celebrate have launched a high performace wrist-watch, dubbed the Edifice, that would look great on the track as well as off it.



Using the same 'Wave Cepter' technology as NASA use to guide space shuttles means that you cant get a more accurate read on time, no matter where you are in the world thanks to the international transmitters and… Continue

At long last - Power engineering - Back in the game!!

At long last, Power engineering in Uxbridge, Middlesex UK, are back in the game with their new Dyno dynamics rolling road up and running at their lovely new premises, opposite to where they used to be in Wallingford road.



We were very nicely invited down to have a free go on the dyno by Iain Ball who runs the place, a top bloke and friend of ours going way way back to rolling road events in the black and white days about 100 years ago (slight exaggeration maybe!!).



So, in… Continue
