			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The RX series of sports coupes from Mazda have always had a sort of cult following from fans who understand where Mazda is coming from. However, the RX 8 changed all of that by opening up the brand and indeed this model to a wider audience as the design and style of this car becomes pleasing on the eye as well delivering some serious performance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3059" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/nicely-modified-mazda-rx-8/attachment/32420_190732/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3059" title="32420_190732" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/32420_190732-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>The car in question has been modified to produce a top notch performance car, but at the same has managed to keep the style and design of the original car from the outside. While there are some slight additions to the bodywork such as the side skirt, this blends in nicely and is not over the top or bulky, as some cars seem to be.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3060" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/nicely-modified-mazda-rx-8/attachment/32420_190752/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3060" title="32420_190752" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/32420_190752-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>It is performance that the RX 8 delivers and even before the modification, this was a car that for its size offered performance well over what would be expected from a car sporting a 1.3 litre engine. However, this is Wankel technology and so in its basic configuration the RX 8 would be delivering around 210 HP and that is before any modifications had taken place.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3061" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/nicely-modified-mazda-rx-8/attachment/32420_190728/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3061" title="32420_190728" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/32420_190728-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>With that sort of performance, there is little that can or should be done under the hood, although it is not unknown for an RX 8 to be modified to deliver in excess of 250 HP with only some minor adjustments to the set up. This all rounder has performance and looks going for it, these are two main features for an import builder to go for; it works very well in this case.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3062" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/nicely-modified-mazda-rx-8/attachment/32420_190721/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3062" title="32420_190721" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/32420_190721-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It makes a change to have a real racer here and this is the car owned and run by Matt Powers it is a proper race car and more as this is a pro drifting machine that has gathered a large following of fans. However, not after joining forces with EA’s auto sport division the bar has been raised and why not because they have the skills and knowledge to produce a wonderful machine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3050" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/a-proper-racing-nissan-240-sx/attachment/sstp_1009_01_o1995_nissan_240sxdrifting/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3050" title="sstp_1009_01_o+1995_nissan_240sx+drifting" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sstp_1009_01_o+1995_nissan_240sx+drifting-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Anyone who knew Matt Power would have been used to the car colouring, but that has now changed slightly with a black and white part, as well as the bright green finish that used to be his racing colours. Therefore, there is a little bit of old and a lot of new in there to start off a new era of racing with plenty of drifting thrown in for good measure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3051" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/a-proper-racing-nissan-240-sx/attachment/sstp_1009_14_o1995_nissan_240sxinterior/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3051" title="sstp_1009_14_o+1995_nissan_240sx+interior" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sstp_1009_14_o+1995_nissan_240sx+interior-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The main thing about this new S14, it the power, it has 500 HP under the hood and that is something quite astonishing, especially as we consider that this is a race car that has been lightened to the max it can be. so every single little bit of power can be made to good use and that means getting the car to where it should be at the top of the table.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3052" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/a-proper-racing-nissan-240-sx/attachment/sstp_1009_12_o1995_nissan_240sxengine_view/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3052" title="sstp_1009_12_o+1995_nissan_240sx+engine_view" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sstp_1009_12_o+1995_nissan_240sx+engine_view-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>It is amazing really to think how these cars can be transformed from what could have been a standard family car that is good for the school run and weekly grocery shop. Nevertheless, today this car is far removed from those days to a completely different world where power and drifting rules, where only the best cars come out on top.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3053" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/a-proper-racing-nissan-240-sx/attachment/sstp_1009_03_o1995_nissan_240sxright_view/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3053" title="sstp_1009_03_o+1995_nissan_240sx+right_view" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sstp_1009_03_o+1995_nissan_240sx+right_view-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>

<p>Product Description for the T6061 mendrel bend polish aluminium pipe:</p>
<blockquote><p>Short ram air induction intake system is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion to yield more horse power. Short ram air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation. Coupling and hose maybe in the colour of red/blue/black.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is something about an all white car that sets it off from other cars, it makes no difference if it has been modified or not, the white car always stands out from rest of the crowd. This Toyota Supra from 1995 is no different; its pure colouring is only rivalled by the pure power that sits under the hood, yet the only indication that it has been modified are those highly polished CCW Classic wheels.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3041" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/clean-and-white-toyota-supra/attachment/32277_189577/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3041" title="32277_189577" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/32277_189577-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>Bodily there are little clues that someone has been carefully making this car better than brand new, but these subtle changes such as the front bumper, tail lights, turn signals and side markers come from later models, but only a complete Supra expert would know about that.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3042" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/clean-and-white-toyota-supra/attachment/32277_188862/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3042" title="32277_188862" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/32277_188862-527x375.jpg" alt="" width="527" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The worrying thing about this car is that there are plans to improve this almost perfect design, the owner intends to change the hood to a more meaty looking vented version, upgrade the drive shaft, add a Tein Flex coilover and Virtual intake manifold, with this final touch being some nice Recarro seats.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3043" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/clean-and-white-toyota-supra/attachment/32277_188867/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3043" title="32277_188867" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/32277_188867-550x354.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="354" /></a></p>
<p>It has to be said, that once these final touches have been completed, it would seem that this Toyota Supra could be one of the best cars of its kind around at the moment. Of course, there may be another project on the horizon, but this one has the edge being almost completed and ready to hit the show circuit or maybe it will just end up being a road car, it would look nice in the supermarket car park!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to many sources, the beautiful and sleek Mazda Miata MX 5 is one of the best selling sports cars in the world ever! That is quite a statement when we think about the completion that is out there, but looking at the Mazda with its low profile, pop up headlights and just a great all round driving experience, it is clear to see why this car is so popular.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3032" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/the-top-selling-mazda-miata-mx-5/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_06/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3032" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_06" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_06-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>But now this drop head sports car is being taken on by the import builders, not that there is much to do with the exterior of this car; it is still becoming a builders dream machine. This one is owned and built by Peter Li; it is the 1992 model, although by the look of it that would be hard to tell for someone with no experience of these cars.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3033" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/the-top-selling-mazda-miata-mx-5/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_03/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3033" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_03" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_03-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>Finished in bright red, there is a feel for speed look to this car, sitting just a few inches off the ground the Miata has a menacing look to it and would impress any sports car owner with its grace and style. When this car was first taken on by Peter is was in immaculate condition from top to bottom and yet in true builder’s style the car has to gutted and rebuilt to its new standard.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3034" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/the-top-selling-mazda-miata-mx-5/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_07/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3034" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_07" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_07-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>When new, this would have come with either the 1.6 litre or 1.8 litre engine and a choice of either a four speed auto or five speed manual gearbox. It would have been producing around 120 HP, which is good enough for a car that is so light, but following the modifications under the hood the power must have been increased, although there are no figures to back this up.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3035" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/the-top-selling-mazda-miata-mx-5/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_01/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3035" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_01" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal50_lg_01-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there is one car that cries out to be modified it has to be the Scion XB, this is a Toyota based SUV that used the Yaris frame to produce an interesting design that is almost like the pictures that kids draw to represent a car or van, with straight square edges. The Scion is an interesting car on its own, but once an import builder gets their hands on it everything changes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3023" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-scion-xb/attachment/465-4/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3023" title="465-4" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/465-4-550x364.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="364" /></a></p>
<p>This model belongs to Chris Wanstrath and this is a true representation of how an import builder would approach a project such as this one, clearly this is not going to be an high performance racing machine, but what it can be is a serious looking example of how design and hard work can produce a work of art.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3024" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-scion-xb/attachment/465-3-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3024" title="465-3" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/465-3-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The Scion is a great example of a blank canvas, the modifications are limited to the imagination of the builder and in this case, it is clear that the music plays a large part in the life of the owner. Check out those serious speakers in the back of the car, they are enough to give the Scion some extra HP when running a full blast.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3025" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-scion-xb/attachment/465-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3025" title="465-2" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/465-2-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This is a serious project and the modifications are kind to the design of the car, meaning that despite the amount of work and changes on the car, anyone can tell what the car is and that cannot be said of many modified cars, where panels are changes and other parts have been added. This is a Scion XB, modified and proud, it is was import building is all about.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3026" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-scion-xb/attachment/465-1-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3026" title="465-1" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/465-1-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>

<p>Product Description for the T6061 mendrel bend polish aluminium pipe kit:</p>
<blockquote><p>Cold air induction intake system for the Honda Accord is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the Honda Accord engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The extended aluminium piping amplifies the effect by delivering colder air that contains more oxygen. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion (sound). The best of both worlds is at your fingertips. Cold air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State&#8217;s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation. Coupling and hose maybe in the colour of red/blue/black.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When a car is modified, it takes investment in time and cash, usually for the privateer it is a one off masterpiece that like a work of art it remains, as it is the completed article. It is rare that someone would take a car and modify it, only to repeat the process, but a third time! Has any other car been modified three times, because this Nissan S13 has?</p>

<p>It is the work of Kathryn Tanaka and it has to be said that with this third build she has really come up with a winner. This is a drifting car and as result of some intense driving the car apparently needed some touch ups here and there, so why not go all the way and create a new car instead, that is what has been done here for third time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3015" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/the-nissan-s13-modification-mk-iii/attachment/kat13/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3015" title="kat13" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/kat13-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>However, it has not been all cosmetic, for a modification means, just that and some serious changes have taken place under the hood. For instance, the S13 SR20DET Red Top has been upgraded with a Megan Racing stainless steel exhaust and a GReddy M spec front mounted intercooler has been fitted behind the impressive type X front bumper.</p>

<p>Never the less it is still hard to believe that this is a car that is twenty years old, one of the original series one S13’s sporting the 2.4 litre engine offering around 140 HP with a choice of a four speed auto or a five speed manual gearbox. we can only guess at what this car is producing in the power department, but we can be sure that it is a lot more than the standard road model!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Usually when you think of small car such as the Honda Civic with its 1.6 litre engine, we would estimate the power output being around 150 HP or less. However, imagine getting behind the wheel of Civic that has been made lighter and the power increased to over 350 HP would that be something of interest to fans of modified cars or not, we suspect that a Honda Civic such as that would be very interesting indeed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3005" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/honda-civic-looking-good/attachment/744-37521-10150237324250338-528900337-13768210-1546068-n/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3005" title="744-37521-10150237324250338-528900337-13768210-1546068-n" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/744-37521-10150237324250338-528900337-13768210-1546068-n-395x375.jpg" alt="" width="395" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>So that is what has happened here, this is your average Honda Civic from 1993, it is the four door family style version, which has been driven by all sorts if careful drivers around the world. However, this particular model happens to be different, it is owned by Ahmed Yousry and he has completely changed the way that this car should be seen as.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3006" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/honda-civic-looking-good/attachment/744-39169-10150237329505338-528900337-13768308-1477418-n/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3006" title="744-39169-10150237329505338-528900337-13768308-1477418-n" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/744-39169-10150237329505338-528900337-13768308-1477418-n-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>No longer is the basic Honda Civic a family run around, this is a car that can be bought fairly cheaply and with some serious time and cash investment, a car such as this can be produced. We have no actual figures as to how this car performs, but we have to assume that with the power available to the driver it is not going to have any problems getting away from the lights.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3007" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/honda-civic-looking-good/attachment/744-39175-10150237338695338-528900337-13768371-5253339-n/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3007" title="744-39175-10150237338695338-528900337-13768371-5253339-n" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/744-39175-10150237338695338-528900337-13768371-5253339-n-338x375.jpg" alt="" width="338" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Most of the modifications have been made under the hood, with care taken to make sure that this car remains a Civic from the outside, that way there is no mistake what this is and hopefully that will inspire the other fans of imported cars to get involved themselves. As this does not have to be a rich man’s pastime, although having plenty of cash to invest does help!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is amazing how some people can take a family car and after a lot of hard work, time and of course cash, come up with a car that is the envy of the import builder’s world. However, this is no story it is what happens every day in the world of import builders and this Mitsubishi Gallant is just a clear indication on just what can be done with enough inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2996" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/family-car-to-supercar/attachment/all_motor_galant_05-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2996" title="all_motor_galant_05" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/all_motor_galant_05-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>Of course, this Gallant was no under powered machine to start off with, as it already had a decent 3.0 litre engine under the hood, which would have been good for 156 HP. but for new owner Broderick Jones 200 HP would be the minimum accepted, in fact after changing to engine to a 3.5 litre version the power would be touching 225 HP, which is clearly better.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2997" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/family-car-to-supercar/attachment/all_motor_galant_13-3/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2997" title="all_motor_galant_13" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/all_motor_galant_13-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>However, with that power, the car must be modified to cope and that is where the real work comes in, it is all right switching the engine, but the running gear, brakes and just about every other moving part on the car would need to be upgraded in order to cope with the increase power demands. That is why the engine specs are a long list of parts that have been swapped.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2998" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/family-car-to-supercar/attachment/all_motor_galant_16-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2998" title="all_motor_galant_16" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/all_motor_galant_16-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>From the outside the new owner has opted to keep the original lines and that is a good thing, because the only indication that this a modified car visible from the outside are the Roto Boost wheels with 225/45/17 tyres. there is also the tell tale sign of a big bore exhaust peeping out from under the rear bumper, we can only imagine the sound that this car makes as it is driven down the road.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2999" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/family-car-to-supercar/attachment/all_motor_galant_09-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2999" title="all_motor_galant_09" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/all_motor_galant_09-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the eighties, the Honda NSX was something of a legend, very rare and hardly ever seen on the road, but once you had caught a glimpse of this Pininfarina designed sports car, then you were hooked big time. The only problem was that it would be a long time before another one went by and this was the legend of the NSX.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2986" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/acura/the-acura-nsx-rides-again/attachment/32207_187115/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2986" title="32207_187115" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32207_187115-550x310.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="310" /></a></p>
<p>When the car was designed its target was to match the performance of the Ferrari 328, but delays in production meant the target was changed to meet the specs of the Ferrari 348, in order to do this the production was stopped and new 3.0 litre V6 VTEC engine replaced the 2.0 litre V6 engine. By producing, the car in aluminium reduced the weight by 20 Kg’s and therefore increased performance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2987" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/acura/the-acura-nsx-rides-again/attachment/32207_187116/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2987" title="32207_187116" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32207_187116-550x309.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<p>The model shown is the second generation Acura NSX, it carries the traditional challenge of beating Ferrari, this time the model to beat is the F360 and the challenge meant an improved 3.2 litre VTEC V6 engine, that produces 290 HP and further weight loss with the power steering unit being removed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2988" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/acura/the-acura-nsx-rides-again/attachment/32207_187117/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2988" title="32207_187117" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32207_187117-550x309.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<p>Further more personal modifications have been to this car, although it has to said that there limited modifications available now as the production model has been stripped right down to the minimum and the power increased producing the Ferrari beating car that we have come to love, with the Honda background of reliability, can there be anything better than that?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2990" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/acura/the-acura-nsx-rides-again/attachment/32207_187121/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2990" title="32207_187121" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32207_187121-550x268.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="268" /></a></p>

<p>Product Description for the Dyno-Boost Performance Chip:</p>
<blockquote><p>Dyno-Boost is a fully adjustable, vehicle specific fuel controller designed for all fuel injected cars, trucks. Simply wires in line with the harness of the IAT (Intake Air Temperature) or MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor &amp; plugs into the Oxygen sensor(s) in the exhaust. You will receive crisp acceleration, 15% extra HP &amp; torque, lower quarter mile times &amp; surprisingly increased throttle response. Installation is easy, no &#8211; special tools or expertise required. Gain +15-40 additional HP and improved acceleration by up to 30 % &amp; better MPG by up to 8%. Dyno-Boost will supply modified signals to vehicle&#8217;s ECU. The ECU then adjusts air/fuel ratio &amp; timing curves to new performance settings. There is no risk of any damage to the engine or electrical parts since the modified sensor signal will always remain within the manufacturer&#8217;s recommended specifications. The unit works in conjunction with your factory ECU &amp; will not affect engine reliability.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a trip back in time to the mid eighties; things were not that different in 1986 when this car was new, to how things are today. Back then, a recession had been seen off a few years earlier and yet we were heading into a global property slump, but the cars they just kept coming and the Japanese brands were as popular as ever.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2978" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-1986-toyota-corolla/attachment/sstp_1008_01_o1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86hood/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2978" title="sstp_1008_01_o+1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86+hood" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sstp_1008_01_o+1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86+hood-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Take the Toyota Corolla; this model had been for a long time the family car, chosen by many people around the world for its reliability and good value. However, for the builder these cars represent the beginning of the new era, where even the privateer can build a beautiful car from something that some owners would have scrapped.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2979" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-1986-toyota-corolla/attachment/sstp_1008_12_o1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86interior/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2979" title="sstp_1008_12_o+1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86+interior" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sstp_1008_12_o+1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86+interior-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This Toyota Corolla is a good example of how a twenty five year old car could be made into something wonderful and highly desirable too. The car has been built by Impulse a Japanese tuning shop, they specialise in working with these cars and this is just proof that they know what they are doing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2980" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-1986-toyota-corolla/attachment/sstp_1008_17_o1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86custom_engine/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2980" title="sstp_1008_17_o+1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86+custom_engine" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sstp_1008_17_o+1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86+custom_engine-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>There cannot be many Toyota Corolla’s on the road in this condition; therefore, we have to ask that same old question as before. is this the best Toyota Corolla around at the moment and judging on what we have seen the answer has to be yes it is, unless there is anyone else out there that knows any different.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2981" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-1986-toyota-corolla/attachment/sstp_1008_15_o1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86rear_view_2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2981" title="sstp_1008_15_o+1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86+rear_view_2" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sstp_1008_15_o+1986_toyota_corolla_levin_ae86+rear_view_2-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>

<p>Building a car with a view for racing is so satisfying for the owner, especially if the car happens to be up there with some of the established teams. Being a privateer gives the owner the freedom to choose how they operate; it is a bit like the corner store taking on Wal-Mart!</p>

<p>The Mazda is a car in a field of its own really, there is nothing that is even remotely comparable simply because of the 1.3 litre engine that is able to produce so much power in comparison to the other car makes that go for V6 engine power. Even then, the RX7 has the upper hand on many occasions.</p>

<p>Car racing does not have to be F1 or Indy these are the top level of the sport, but touring cars and GT racing is where car that can be seen on the roads. This gives inspiration to new drivers and teams who with only a minor investment could be out there on the track ripping up the road and aiming for a podium finish.</p>

<p>Product Description of the RX7 Turbo (TD06SH) Greddy GRY-11540011 Turbo Kit:</p>
<blockquote><p>(Turbo &#8211; TD06SH-20G &#8211; Cast manif Type R W/G) Built for the (89-92) Mazda FC RX7. Vehicles that are already equipped with factory turbochargers have engines with large potential for power that cannot be fully obtained by using the original turbocharger(s). Big gains can be found by upgrading the exhaust, intake, blow-off valve and intercooler and adding more fuel and boost, also replacing the stock turbocharger with a properly sized GReddy turbo upgrade kit you can experience new levels of power. Kits are available for most popular Japanese turbo vehicles, and for many, we offer a selection of kits with various sizes of turbos from mild upgrades to full-on race ready kits. Depending on application, kits will either bolt onto factory manifolds with intergral wastegates or use hand-made SUS manifolds with external wastegates.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To gauge the success of the brand or model of car you would normally look at two things, sales and length of production run, the Mazda6 was one of those cars that had been conceived to serve the family market and the first generation model ran for over six years. In car terms, that is a successful fun and now the Mazda6 is high up on the car modifiers shopping list.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2960" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-family-car-the-mazda6/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal53_lg_17-3/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2960" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal53_lg_17" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal53_lg_17-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>One fine example of this trend is the Mazda6 built by Chris Zitkevitz from New Jersey; he bought this car not with the intention of making any modifications to it, as the car was intended to be just that his car! However, one modification led to another and before long, the car began to change as well as the amount of cash being spent on it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2961" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-family-car-the-mazda6/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal53_lg_03-3/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2961" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal53_lg_03" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal53_lg_03-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>The original car came with a wide choice of options, such as the 1.8 litre, 2.0 litre, 2.3 litre and the 3.0 litre V6 engines together with four, five or six speed auto and five or six speed manual gearbox choices. This give the car a power range from 136 HP and up to 270 HP +, it is understandable how this car has become so popular in the builder sector.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2962" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-family-car-the-mazda6/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal53_lg_15-3/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2962" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal53_lg_15" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal53_lg_15-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>Now this particular Mazda6 is a show stopping winner with successes at the Philadelphia International Auto Show, showcase vehicle at the New York IAS, and winner of the Best Mazda at Importfest 2007, for import builder it really doesn’t get any better than this. This is especially inspirational project as it demonstrates that you builders are made and not born.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a time when the fantastic Subaru Impreza ruled the road, track and just about anywhere else, that it happened to turn up at. However, as with many things this dominance soon faded to the point where the car hardy makes an impact anymore and that is real shame because these cars are made to be modified as this car demonstrates.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2950" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/subaru/the-return-of-the-subaru-impreza-wrx-sti/attachment/32495_185623/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2950" title="32495_185623" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32495_185623-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>This is a Subaru Impreza WRX STi the 2005 model, it has been taken by Cobb Tuning and given the full works. So for anyone who believed that the end is nigh for the Subaru Impreza WRX STi should take time out to think about that again as this could be the car that re-launches out love affair with the fantastic WRX STi.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2951" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/subaru/the-return-of-the-subaru-impreza-wrx-sti/attachment/32495_185630/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2951" title="32495_185630" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32495_185630-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>If there is one thing that makes this car stand out, it has to be the sound, you can also hear the sound of Subaru even if you are unable to see the car right away and yet it is a sound that has fallen silent in most places. This is down to other car makers bringing out alternatives and on the track the Subaru had faded somewhat too and that is no good for business.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2953" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/subaru/the-return-of-the-subaru-impreza-wrx-sti/attachment/32495_185629/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2953" title="32495_185629" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32495_185629-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>This is a second generation model; it came with a choice of the 2.0 litre or the 2.5 litre engine with either a six speed manual or five speed semi automatic gearbox. It used the Lancer Evo 8 engine, which had a power range from 271 HP to over 300 HP, a modified car, is quite capable of touching 350 HP with ease and this is what makes the Subaru Impreza WRX STi a fantastic and versatile machine.</p>

<p>Product Description of the T6061 mendrel bend polish aluminium pipe:</p>
<blockquote><p>Short ram air induction intake system is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion to yield more horse power. Short ram air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation. Coupling and hose maybe in the colour of red/blue/black.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a lot of debate on the subject of which RX model is the best, normally the model favoured by certain people often reflects their age, this is because as a young driver who aspires to own a Japanese sports car, they directly relate to the model that out at the time. However, it seems that overall the FD version of the RX 7 is regarded as one of the most favoured.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2940" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/classic-mazda-rx-7-build/attachment/iforged_rx7_05/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2940" title="iforged_rx7_05" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/iforged_rx7_05-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>This particular car has some serious backing, with Veilside and iForged being involved in the build; in fact, this car is actually owned by Vicent Wong from iForged, so the car was always destined to become one of the best modified RX 7’s in the US possibly the world, unless anyone else has any other ideas.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2941" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/classic-mazda-rx-7-build/attachment/iforged_rx7_10/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2941" title="iforged_rx7_10" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/iforged_rx7_10-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>The car has been sympathetic to the cars curves and lines, but at the same has been able to push the boundaries a little further to produce an eye catching example of this already highly desirable car. Finished in the Yellow and Black, the initial response to this car may not be a good as expected, but it grows on you, before long the car looks fantastic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2942" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/classic-mazda-rx-7-build/attachment/iforged_rx7_08/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2942" title="iforged_rx7_08" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/iforged_rx7_08-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>you could say that no expense has been spared on this project, but while that may not be totally true, the amount of work that must have gone into this project is what makes this car what it is, a perfect example of how a build can look when you have all the right connections and resources.</p>

<blockquote><p>(Turbo &#8211; TD06SH-20G &#8211; Cast manif Type R W/G) Built for the (89-92) Mazda FC RX7&#8230; Vehicles that are already equipped with factory turbochargers have engines with large potential for power that cannot be fully obtained by using the original turbocharger(s). Big gains can be found by upgrading the exhaust, intake, blow-off valve and intercooler and adding more fuel and boost, also replacing the stock turbocharger with a properly sized GReddy turbo upgrade kit you can experience new levels of power. Kits are available for most popular Japanese turbo vehicles, and for many, we offer a selection of kits with various sizes of turbos from mild upgrades to full-on race ready kits. Depending on application, kits will either bolt onto factory manifolds with integral wastegates or use hand-made SUS manifolds with external wastegates.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you were to choose a Honda as a project, it would more than likely be the three door version of the fifth generation design. These cars offer the best value and it is debatable the best shape because it cries out for modifications in so many different ways, there is also the added benefit of availability and low of parts to be taken into consideration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2930" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/well-modified-honda-civic-si/attachment/740-honda-20day-204-18-2010-20001/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2930" title="740-honda-20day-204-18-2010-20001" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/740-honda-20day-204-18-2010-20001-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>This version is the three door model; it has a larger door than the five door model, so this allows the seats to be pushed back as far as possible. It is a bit of a mix of styles and colours, the most obvious being the bright yellow paintwork set off against the red interior, yet these colours actually do work together, strange, as it may seem.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2931" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/well-modified-honda-civic-si/attachment/740-q-001/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2931" title="740-q-001" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/740-q-001-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>The actual modifications are evenly split around the car, with no part receiving more attention than any other, this gives the car a well round look and demonstrates that the builders are not just skilled in one single factor of the project.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2932" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/well-modified-honda-civic-si/attachment/740-yellovic-7/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2932" title="740-yellovic-7" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/740-yellovic-7-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>When this model was introduced in 1992, with aerodynamic styling this was car destined to be grabbed by the import builders a decade later to restore life into the classic design. Powered by a 1.6 litre engine, it could easily deliver around 160 HP, but this modified version offers around 220 HP and that is a huge difference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is not that often that we get to see a van or pick up on these pages and yet here it is, the brilliant and muscular looking Tacoma from Toyota. This pick up or cab whatever you want to call it has been around for about six year and this seems to the be the very first Tacoma to be modified, in fact there has been a lot of work on the this machine and not just on that black paintwork.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2921" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-toyota-tacoma-xtra-cab/attachment/32145_184519/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2921" title="32145_184519" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32145_184519-526x375.jpg" alt="" width="526" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>However although there have been some essential changes under the hood, such as the supercharger being replaced along with the exhaust, headers and the introduction of a nitrous oxide system, which definitely would not have been an option at the dealers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2922" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-toyota-tacoma-xtra-cab/attachment/32145_184485/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2922" title="32145_184485" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32145_184485-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>The most noticeable addition to the project must be the music system, it looks as is more thought and investment has gone into this part of the build than any other section. There are some serious figures in this car, when it comes to watts and amps; this system actually looks more complex than the engine department.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2923" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-toyota-tacoma-xtra-cab/attachment/32145_184515/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2923" title="32145_184515" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32145_184515-550x180.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>When new, this vehicle would have offered the buyer a choice of the 2.7 litre 159 HP or the 4.0 litre 236 HP power unit with a choice of the four or five speed automatic and the five and six speed manual gearboxes. On top of this, the Tacoma was offered in eighteen different configurations, no wonder there are not many of these being modified as it seems they are already built to the buyers own specifications</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2924" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-toyota-tacoma-xtra-cab/attachment/32145_184524/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2924" title="32145_184524" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32145_184524-501x375.jpg" alt="" width="501" height="375" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is hard to imagine now, that this Civic SI is model that Honda developed as concept car for the 2002 SEMA show and yet here it is a few years later as an established model in the Honda range. So being a former concept car means that this is a model that is ripe for modifying and it has been done very well in this case.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2909" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/well-rounded-honda-civic-si/attachment/505-img-2444/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2909" title="505-img-2444" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/505-img-2444-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>The main focus of this build has been on the bodywork, the sharper more visible edges have been rounded off and smoothed out to produce a more aerodynamic shape, in fact the shape of this car is more to do with looks than aerodynamics. Although both features are smooth on the eye, which is one of the points of building in the first place.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2910" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/well-rounded-honda-civic-si/attachment/505-img-2453/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2910" title="505-img-2453" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/505-img-2453-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>One thing that this build shows is the how simple design works as opposed to the designs that go over the top with features that have no mechanical functions but instead have been included because they have the effect of looking good on a car.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2911" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/well-rounded-honda-civic-si/attachment/505-img-19423/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2911" title="505-img-19423" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/505-img-19423-550x364.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="364" /></a></p>
<p>The Honda Civic SI was built in either Brazil or Canada; it came with a choice of two versions the standard 2.0 litre engine with a six speed gearbox and producing 189 HP or 197 HP. This modified Honda has a small amount of work done on the engine and can produce around 209 HP.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2912" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/well-rounded-honda-civic-si/attachment/505-img-2457/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2912" title="505-img-2457" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/505-img-2457-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Mazda is one of the worlds less understood cars, probably because of the engine set up and how they are able to produce so much power from such a small power plant. But this is one of the third generation RX 7 it was built in 1993 and when the current owner, Ben Abutin got his hands on this car it was to say the least a little under the weather, with plenty of work needing to be done, in other words, ideal builder material.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2900" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/super-modified-mazda-rx-7/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_15/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2900" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_15" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_15-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>Considering this car had a wrecked engine, burnt out wiring, body damage and did not even have a keyhole for the ignition, the tables have turned and now this car is better now than it was when rolled off production line in Hiroshima, Japan and that is what import building is all about.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2901" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/super-modified-mazda-rx-7/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_04/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2901" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_04" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_04-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>Acquired in 2006, this Mazda has been totally transformed into one of the most desirable RX 7’s around, but it did not happen over night and certainly didn’t come cheap, the estimated cost is around $30,000 so far.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2902" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/super-modified-mazda-rx-7/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_12/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2902" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_12" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_12-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>But this is not a car that is wrapped up in dust sheets and transported around the country to shows inside a sealed container, it can be seen being driven there, this is a real import builders car that is used on a regular basis on the road where it should be, and that has to be admired.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2903" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/super-modified-mazda-rx-7/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_01/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2903" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_01" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal61_lg_01-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>

<p>Product Description for the RX7 Turbo (TD06SH) Greddy GRY-11540011 Turbo Kit:</p>
<blockquote><p>(Turbo &#8211; TD06SH-20G &#8211; Cast manif Type R W/G) Built for the (89-92) Mazda FC RX7&#8230; Vehicles that are already equipped with factory turbochargers have engines with large potential for power that cannot be fully obtained by using the original turbocharger(s). Big gains can be found by upgrading the exhaust, intake, blow-off valve and intercooler and adding more fuel and boost, also replacing the stock turbocharger with a properly sized GReddy turbo upgrade kit you can experience new levels of power. Kits are available for most popular Japanese turbo vehicles, and for many, we offer a selection of kits with various sizes of turbos from mild upgrades to full-on race ready kits. Depending on application, kits will either bolt onto factory manifolds with intergral wastegates or use hand-made SUS manifolds with external wastegates.</p></blockquote>

<p>Product Description of the OBX High Performance Spark Plug Wires:</p>
<blockquote><p>OBX High Performance Spark Plug Wires are the highest quality and thickest wires available in today&#8217;s market. Six individually wrapped 18 strand copper cores are wrapped with a stainless steel conductor to ensure greater ignition current conduction and longer spark duration. The core is covered with a special synthetic dielectric compound that prevents all electrical leakage and arcing of the current due to microscopic cracks when aging occurs. Extra heavy duty glass braid is woven around to withstand extreme wire stretch from pulling. All of this is coated with an outer sheeting of silicone double wrap measuring 10.3 mm in thickness to withstand extreme engine bay temperatures. OBX wires are compatible with all types and brands of spark plugs on the market today to increase voltage output and provide maximum combustion on today&#8217;s high performance engines. These wires have been dyno tested to significantly increase horsepower and torque on both stock and modified engines over OEM ignition wires.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have to wonder to yourself how many times a car has been modified, this happens with works of art where technology has discovered that famous artists changed their minds part of the way through a piece, only to go on and create a masterpiece in the end.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2890" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-mr2-remodified/attachment/dsc_0035/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2890" title="DSC_0035" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC_0035-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>The same could said for this brilliant looking Toyota MR2, initially when Ian Shoel first attempt at modifying meant that the car would have S15 headlights, airbrushed flames on top of a candy paint job. It would have been nothing unusual to see lights and other parts turning up on different models, but that trend is giving way to more standardised modifications.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2891" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-mr2-remodified/attachment/dsc_0060/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2891" title="DSC_0060" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC_0060-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>Now this MR2 has become a state of art machine with all the features that you would expect to find and some serious work on the engine and the rest of the mechanics to enable this machine to deliver in excess of 400 HP, speed and good looks goes down well here!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2892" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-mr2-remodified/attachment/dsc_0013/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2892" title="DSC_0013" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC_0013-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>This is a second generation MR2 and to many people this is best version, coming with a choice of either a 2.0 litre or the 2.2 litre engine with a four speed auto or five speed manual gear box. The standard car would have been capable of delivering around 163 HP, so this one with around 400 HP is a real beast and yet it looks so refined.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2893" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/modified-mr2-remodified/attachment/dsc_0077/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2893" title="DSC_0077" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC_0077-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>

<p>Product Description of the T6061 mendrel bend polish aluminium pipe:</p>
<blockquote><p>Short ram air induction intake system is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion to yield more horse power. Short ram air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone with enough cash, an enthusiastic group of the experienced friends and the urge to win has the opportunity to create their own racing team so long as they wish to drive the beautiful Nissan GT-R around the track to victory.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2881" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/nissan-launch-2011-gt-r-track-edition/attachment/gtr-world-clubtrackedition-001-540x359/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2881" title="gtr-world-clubtrackedition-001-540x359" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gtr-world-clubtrackedition-001-540x359.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="359" /></a></p>
<p>This fantastic car has been developed as part of a joint effort between, Nissan, <a href="http://www.nissanusa.com/nismo/">NISMO</a>, Nova Engineering and Nordring in Japan, however as Nissan and the Japanese like to keep things to themselves, this car is currently only available in Japan and only to members of the Prestige Club of GT-R.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2882" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/nissan-launch-2011-gt-r-track-edition/attachment/gtr-world-clubtrackedition-003/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2882" title="gtr-world-clubtrackedition-003" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gtr-world-clubtrackedition-003-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>To join the club a team would be looking at an entry fee of around $25,000, for this the car is entered into the competition, is assigned a number, invited to two official track meetings a year and gets entry to the world famous annual get together. Membership renewal will cost around $12,000.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2883" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/nissan-launch-2011-gt-r-track-edition/attachment/gtr-world-clubtrackedition-008-540x359/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2883" title="gtr-world-clubtrackedition-008-540x359" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gtr-world-clubtrackedition-008-540x359.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="359" /></a></p>
<p>What you have to realise about this car, is that is cannot be driven on the road, this is a track car and has been built to those specifications, such as the massive 493 HP it produces and remember this is race car and has been lightened, so the power is pure power to the wheels.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2884" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/nissan-launch-2011-gt-r-track-edition/attachment/gtr-world-clubtrackedition-002/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2884" title="gtr-world-clubtrackedition-002" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gtr-world-clubtrackedition-002-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo has to be one of the most aptly named cars around as it has evolved ten times since its introduction to the car market in 1992. That’s almost a new model every other year and each time it has evolved the car has got better and more desirable to the car buying public, not to mention the import builders who love to get their hands on these cars.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2872" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/evolution-in-the-making/attachment/damien_evo_05/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2872" title="damien_evo_05" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/damien_evo_05-550x367.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="367" /></a></p>
<p>The model is owned and built by Damien Cahill of Columbia, MD; the Lancer is from 2003 and comes under the Evo 8 range. The beauty of these cars is that the owner can take parts from other models either earlier or later versions. This is what Damien Cahill has done very well, with parts from the Lancer Evo 9 such as the transmission and seats.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2873" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/evolution-in-the-making/attachment/damien_evo_19/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2873" title="damien_evo_19" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/damien_evo_19-550x367.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="367" /></a></p>
<p>This is a nice looking car with a beautiful looking green chameleon paint job; the finish actually appears to be a two tone effect between blue and green depending on the light and the position on the car. This colouring appears to follow through the rest of the car including inside the engine bay.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2874" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/evolution-in-the-making/attachment/damien_evo_24/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2874" title="damien_evo_24" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/damien_evo_24-550x367.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="367" /></a></p>
<p>The Lancer Evo 8 uses the CT9V variation of the 2.0 litre engine, with a choice of a five speed or six speed manual gearbox the post production car would have been well capable of achieving up to 271 HP, but this build can boast to delivering and massive 950 HP at the rear axles.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2875" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/evolution-in-the-making/attachment/damien_evo_09/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2875" title="damien_evo_09" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/damien_evo_09-550x354.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="354" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first thing that you are going to notice with this car, are the lambo style doors this a feature that you would not expect to see on a car a small as the 1992 Honda Civic, but in actual fact the feature blends in very nicely with the shape of the car. Despite the engineering excellence involved in installing the feature this is a touch of genius.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2863" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/super-honda-civic-with-lambo-doors/attachment/32106_181288/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2863" title="32106_181288" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32106_181288-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>As with all import builder jobs, this one has been completed to the demands of the owner and in this case the focus has been placed onto the body rather than the interior, which remains more or less as it was and even the mechanics of the car are almost untouched.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2864" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/super-honda-civic-with-lambo-doors/attachment/32106_181287/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2864" title="32106_181287" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32106_181287-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The work that has gone into this design is extraordinary, it could even be classed as a work of art, and after all, like a masterpiece it is clear what the car is. Yet this is a vision of what the builder thinks a Honda Civic should look like if it were left down to the designers and not the bean counting accountants.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2865" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/super-honda-civic-with-lambo-doors/attachment/32106_181294/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2865" title="32106_181294" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32106_181294-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Performance wise this car is unlikely to win any prizes, but as a stand alone project to produce one of the Honda Civics around at the current time, this one has to be in with a great chance of being up there at the top, unless there are any better looking Honda Civics around at the moment, any ideas?   </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2866" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/super-honda-civic-with-lambo-doors/attachment/32106_181286/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2866" title="32106_181286" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/32106_181286-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the title suggests this Honda S2000 may have the basic look of the Honda supercar, but beneath that the bright red exterior there is a monster waiting to pounce onto its next victim. To put that in perspective this is a light two seater car with 321 HP and 206 ft lbs of torque imagine the forces at work to produce that sort of power and still keep the car on the road at the same time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2854" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda/wolf-in-sheep%e2%80%99s-clothing/attachment/bb/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2854" title="bb" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bb-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>The S2000 is one of the most underestimated cars the Honda brought out, there could be many reason for that, market, competition or just a general lack of cash around in the buyers pockets. However, this is car worth thinking about especially as this model is actually over ten years old now.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2855" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda/wolf-in-sheep%e2%80%99s-clothing/attachment/cc/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2855" title="cc" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/cc-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>This particular Honda S2000, is owned by import builder Brian Kim who is based in southern California, the build did not set out to set the world on fire as it was going to be a more personal experience, but as with many projects once it was started it just grew into a life of its own.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2856" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda/wolf-in-sheep%e2%80%99s-clothing/attachment/kk/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2856" title="kk" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/kk-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>Now this car is at the top of the Honda S2000 tree and it s great example of how it is possible to set off on a one route where the plan is to simply build a nice looking car that represents the individual tastes of the builder. However, after a while the project takes on a life of its own and grows into a show stopping powerful machine such as this car is.   </p>

<p>Product Description for the Megan Racing Performance Lowering Springs:</p>
<blockquote><p>(1&#8243; Front 1&#8243; Rear) Built for the (00-07) Honda S2000 Megan Racing Performance Lowering Springs are constructed of SAE 9254 Cold Wounded Steel, one of the strongest materials available. The high tensile strength and phosphate powder coating delivers outstanding spring rates that are extremely durable and resist premature sagging. The result is a spring that specifically offers race car handling, yet maintains smooth and comfortable ride characteristics. Carefully matched springs rates provide exceptional handling, response, control and balance. These springs offer a generous drop to your car while remaining very streetable by having enough clearance to avoid bottoming-out; and the lowered centre of gravity improves performance and increases stability, as well as enhancing the appearance of the vehicle.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that this is not strictly a Japanese import build, but the Hyundai is an excellent brand these days and the company has been churning out some seriously interesting cars for some time. Such as this Tibron from 2001, it has been modified to high standard and deserves a bit of recognition as being car that has made it as an imported build.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2845" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/hyundai/a-modified-2001-hyundai-tibron/attachment/31785_175129/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2845" title="31785_175129" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/31785_175129-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The Tibron has been thoughtfully modified to a high standard with a lot of work done under the hood, but at the same time, there are some interesting body features in there too. However, unlike some body kits and mouldings the exterior of this Tibron has been completed with care even down to the red LED’s underneath the car and is actually an asset to the car.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2846" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/hyundai/a-modified-2001-hyundai-tibron/attachment/31785_175131/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2846" title="31785_175131" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/31785_175131-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The bright red finish has been taken inside too, with the exterior colour blending into the panels inside the car, which normally may be considered as being a bit tacky, but it actually suits this car. It is probably because red is the key colour and is used throughout instead of there being a mix of colours or shades.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2847" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/hyundai/a-modified-2001-hyundai-tibron/attachment/31785_175132/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2847" title="31785_175132" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/31785_175132-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Naturally this is not going to be to everyone’s taste, but that is what import building is all about, pushing the boundaries as far as the builder is able to go, but without going too far and making a mess of the whole thing. This car is just right with the right balance of features and styling to show that is still a Hyundai Tibron, just very special!    </p>

<p>Product Description for the Hyundai Tiburon T6061 mendrel bend polish aluminium pipe:</p>
<blockquote><p>Cold air induction intake system for the Honda Accord is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the Honda Accord engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The extended aluminium piping amplifies the effect by delivering colder air that contains more oxygen. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion (sound). The best of both worlds is at your fingertips. Cold air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State&#8217;s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation. Coupling and hose maybe in the colour of red/blue/black.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes a car comes along that not only gets heads turning, but can start up some serious conversations leading to full blown arguments, but why? The simple fact is that these die hard car fans may know their 180SX from 350Z, but this car is neither and yet at the same time it is both. Confused! You should be as this is a builder that literally rebuilds cars from scratch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2836" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/240sx/the-nissan-confused-build/attachment/0708_turp_05_znissan_240sxdrifting/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2836" title="0708_turp_05_z+nissan_240sx+drifting" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/0708_turp_05_z+nissan_240sx+drifting-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This the Stream Z GT it’s the brainchild of magazine owner and drift fan Daijiro Inada, he used to be content with a nice standard S15 Silvia, but that was okay, but he had in mind something else, something so different that it will daze and confuse everyone that lays their eyes on this wonderful machine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2837" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/240sx/the-nissan-confused-build/attachment/0708_turp_03_znissan_240sxengine/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2837" title="0708_turp_03_z+nissan_240sx+engine" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/0708_turp_03_z+nissan_240sx+engine-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>He created the Stream Z GT, it is based on a RP S13 180 SX, on the front Top Secret have fitted their famous Top Secret 350Z styling kit, while to the rear a more subtle V35 Skyline body kit has been fitted. Naturally fitting this is not as easy as you first may think, but the finished article is something so different that Daijiro Inada has started a business out of it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2838" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/240sx/the-nissan-confused-build/attachment/0708_turp_20_znissan_240sxinterior/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2838" title="0708_turp_20_z+nissan_240sx+interior" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/0708_turp_20_z+nissan_240sx+interior-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>So now, the average person in the street who wants to make a big impact on the local import builders and who has around $33,000 to spare can get their hands on a Stream Z GT based on a Nissan 180 SX. We don’t think that you have to choose orange, but it sort of suits the style of the car doesn’t it?</p>

<p>Product Description for the T6061 mendrel bend polish aluminium pipe:</p>
<blockquote><p>Short ram air induction intake system is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion to yield more horse power. Short ram air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation. Coupling and hose maybe in the colour of red/blue/black.</p></blockquote>

<p>Product Description of the OBX Helical Limited Slip Differentials:</p>
<blockquote><p>A great upgrade for both street and race use, OBX Helical Limited Slip Differentials provide a much safer and more enjoyable driving experience. In a vehicle with a standard open differential, power is distributed equally across both wheels. While turning, an open differential will send more power to the outside wheel making turning easier. However, if a one of the drive tires loses traction, the wheel that has no traction will spin faster making the car less controllable and causing spin outs. OBX Helical Limited Slip Differentials are the perfect solution to counter these potentially dangerous situations. With an OBX LSD installed, the torque is transferred to the wheel with more traction while turning, which translates, into faster lap times, better drifting and overall performance for a much better driving experience.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we say original, this can conjure up all sorts of meanings from looking like the original to anything that you like. But in this case, the car really is original as the owner David Chik is the one and only owner of this vehicle, having paid $14,000 for the car back in 1991. It was a close run thing for he nearly bought a Honda CR-X, how things would have changed if had gone ahead with that purchase.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2827" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/acura/an-original-acura-integra-ls/attachment/sstp_1007_01_o1991_acura_integra_lsfront_shot-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2827" title="sstp_1007_01_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+front_shot" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sstp_1007_01_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+front_shot-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This is a car that over a long period of time has gradually been built up and not is at a standard that can only be described as pristine. The car has around 88,000 mile on the clock, so it has not just been sitting on the drive or in the garage looking good, this is a car that has been used for the day to day business of getting on with things.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2828" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/acura/an-original-acura-integra-ls/attachment/sstp_1007_07_o1991_acura_integra_lsengine_shot-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2828" title="sstp_1007_07_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+engine_shot" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sstp_1007_07_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+engine_shot-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Naturally there has been a lot of work of the car, with many or the parts including the engine being replaced, it now runs a 1999 1.8 litre engine, but even this has been worked to a high standard and in fact has been polished up too, check out this image below for the that.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2829" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/acura/an-original-acura-integra-ls/attachment/sstp_1007_09_o1991_acura_integra_lsinterior_shot-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2829" title="sstp_1007_09_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+interior_shot" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sstp_1007_09_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+interior_shot-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This is a second generation model; it would have had a choice of 1.6 litre. 1.7 litre and the one that this car uses the 1.8 litre unit. With only two options of a five speed manual and four speed auto gearbox the lower end of the range would have had average power, but this one although the owner will not disclose has enough power to get the job done in style.</p>

Built for the (96-99) Acura Integra&#8230; It takes a tremendous amount of money and time to successfully increase the power of a naturally aspirated engine. With a GReddy bolt-on turbocharger kit you can obtain instant horsepower gains with less time and money while still having the potential for upgrading. Designed with turbos at the beginning end of their efficiency range, gives the buyer the option to increase power levels substantially, before having to ever upgrade the kit&#8217;s turbo. Unlike most turbo kits on the market today, GReddy kits are designed specifically for driveability and reliability, as well as performance. Since they are based completely on stock engines, these kits come with all the necessary basics, including fuel enrichment. Many of the kits are covered under CARB E.O. Numbers, which make them 50-state street legal. If competition use is your goal, there are many GReddy upgrades (Intercoolers, blow-off valves, fuel management and boost controllers) to boost the power output even further.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is funny how modifying cars takes on a different feel depending on where the owner is located, different cultures, costs and availability of parts all play their part in the development of a build. However, it still seems that the builder knows what is right for their patch and more importantly, what is not right.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2817" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-mazda6-ny-style/attachment/31576_169114/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2817" title="31576_169114" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/31576_169114-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This Mazda6 lives in New York and so it looks like a regular Mazda6 as would have come off the production line, but looks can be deceiving and when you live in a big city it is not always a great idea to show off everything that you have. This car does that well behind the body of a family sedan is the heart and brain of a thoroughbred racing machine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2818" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-mazda6-ny-style/attachment/31576_169127/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2818" title="31576_169127" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/31576_169127-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see from the specifications below, very little work has been done on the exterior, but on contrast to that, the engine and transmission modifications have seen extensive work on them. In fact, the exterior has subtle changes and beautiful coat of paint, so it has not been left out of the build at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2819" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-mazda6-ny-style/attachment/31576_169125/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2819" title="31576_169125" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/31576_169125-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This model is one of the last first generation Mazda6 to leave the factory, there would have been a choice of 1.8 litre, 2.0 litre, 2.3 litre and 3.0 litre engines, with a four, five or six speed auto, or five and six speed manual gearbox choice. These are front wheel drive cars and the power delivered can vary from around 136 HP to over 300 HP, now that is an exciting ride.</p>

<p>GTC are a UK based racing tuner who concentrates on the fantastic Nissan GT-R R35 they have projects based in the UK and around the world. The team have a long pedigree in the motorsports industry and nothing can prove that more than their own demo car, it is a GTC 750R and in order to ensure that this car is in superb condition they have made some serious modifications to the machine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2805" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/gtc-racing-modify-the-gtc-750r-gt-r/attachment/gtc-750r-001-540x405/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2805" title="gtc-750r-001-540x405" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gtc-750r-001-540x405-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>To make it even better, the car has been put through its passes just to make sure that the huge amount of changes are all capable of pulling in the right direction. As we know, it is entirely possible for a car to have a list of changes made to it only to find that the performance has suffered as result.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2806" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/nissan/gtc-racing-modify-the-gtc-750r-gt-r/attachment/gtc-750r-005-540x405/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2806" title="gtc-750r-005-540x405" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gtc-750r-005-540x405-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This particular GT-R not only performs well, it actually looks the business too and they goes a long way in making the car into something that people love to see and watch it burn up the track every now and then, there is nothing worse than a car that looks ugly!</p>

<p>One of the issues that the firm appear to have sorted out, is the launch control, this system on occasions has been known to be a bit sluggish to say the least and to enhance performance the rev limiter is able to be increased when the situation warrants and that can make all of the difference on the track.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Scion TC was brought out by Toyota in 2004 it based on the successful Toyota Avensis chassis and has been considered among many fans as the next generation Celica. As for the TC, this according to Scion stands for “Touring Coupe” and that is a title that describes this family sized sports car almost perfectly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2796" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/the-scion-tc-made-for-tuning/attachment/gold_scion_tc_46/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2796" title="gold_scion_tc_46" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gold_scion_tc_46-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>This particular model is something very special, it still carries the Scion lines and style, but there is no mistake in thinking that this is how the car rolled off the production line in Tsutsumi, Japan. In fact, this car has virtually been rebuilt under that perfect gold painted skin from the one and only House of Kolors collection.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2797" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/the-scion-tc-made-for-tuning/attachment/gold_scion_tc_30-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2797" title="gold_scion_tc_30" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gold_scion_tc_30-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>The car is owned by Alex Swensen, it a 2006 model and he has gone all out to build the perfect imported tuner car, it has to be said that this car could there and the only way in knowing is if there is a better one out there. Anyone know of Scion TC that could give Alex Swensens model a run for its money?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2798" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/the-scion-tc-made-for-tuning/attachment/gold_scion_tc_37-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2798" title="gold_scion_tc_37" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gold_scion_tc_37-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>This car was built with a super 2.4 litre engine and a choice of four speed auto or five speed manual gear box that off the production line had around 161 HP, this featured Scion TC has around 300 HP and the looks that go with the power. Is it even going to be possible to find a car that beats this one or is the Golden Scion the best of the crop?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2799" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/the-scion-tc-made-for-tuning/attachment/gold_scion_tc_53/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2799" title="gold_scion_tc_53" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gold_scion_tc_53-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The humble Honda Civic started off as one of the most compact cars around, but over the years, this car has evolved into something that has become one of the most desirable small cars around. However, for the import builder this creates a big problem, because if you are going to build a Civic then you had better make sure that you create the best around.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2787" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/beautiful-looking-honda-civic-si/attachment/556-fall-nationals/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2787" title="556-fall-nationals" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/556-fall-nationals-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>That brings us nicely onto this 1993 Honda Civic owned by Cory Dalgren this is an example of what to do when your chosen car is the Civic and you know that there are hundreds if not thousands of critics out there just waiting to pass judgment on your hard work and investment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2788" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/beautiful-looking-honda-civic-si/attachment/556-fall-nationals-bay09/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2788" title="556-fall-nationals-bay09" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/556-fall-nationals-bay09-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>The first thing to hit you is the colour, it’s a fantastic blue/green pearl style finish that completely covers the car from top to bottom, the body has been smooth out with no unsightly lumps or bumps to spoil the lines. This is an even job where the work has been spread throughout the build and not just concentrated in one place and so this great looking car also produces a fantastic 263 HP.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2789" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/honda-civic/beautiful-looking-honda-civic-si/attachment/556-myeg1/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2789" title="556-myeg1" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/556-myeg1-550x369.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="369" /></a></p>
<p>This is the sixth generation Civic that was produced in factories all around the world and came with huge selection of options, such as the 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 litre engines, four speed auto and five speed manual gearbox and six body styles to choose from. It is no wonder this is a favourite car wither modders, this car was designed to be modified to the owners specifications.  </p>

<p>Product Description of the Ceramic Coated Performance Exhaust Manifold Header:</p>
<blockquote><p>You know you have to have a DC header on your sport compact to really get the most out of your engine&#8217;s abilities. All the air you can squeeze into the cylinders doesn&#8217;t make a bit of difference if the burned gasses can&#8217;t get out efficiently. In addition, guess what: your factory manifold is not efficient. A DC header, on the other hand, is made up of individual runners heading back to a common collector. Compare that to your stock manifold, which most likely looks like a log that all the cylinders have to dump into. Since each cylinder gets its own individual exhaust pipe on the DC header, you avoid competing exhaust pulses, backpressure, and unequal pressures, all of which can stop the exhaust in its tracks and robbed your engine of precious horsepower. A DC Sports header will ensure that you get the most out of your induction system. There is no mistake with stainless steel used throughout, thick, laser cut flanges, machine welds, and ceramic coating to enhance engine efficiency your DC Sports header will help you get the most for a long time to come.</p></blockquote>

<p>Product Description of the power slot front brake rotors:</p>
<blockquote><p>(Si, w/o ABSd -Right) Built for the (93-95) Honda Del Sol&#8230; The original power slot was designed to beat the challenges of high performance brake demands. Brightly plated, Power Slot rotors eliminate rusty rotor syndrome and enhance the look of custom wheels. It is a common fact that venting the gas from super heated brake pads improves overall brake performance. Of the various venting methods, slotting has the clear advantage. Slotting, unlike drilling, is not prone to cracking. In addition, drilling delivers considerably less active braking surface, 108% less than Power Slot. In addition, drilled and slotted rotors deliver 153% less swept area than Power Slot.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you see a modern car that comes under the heading of modified, it often falls into two categories: first the will be the fully modified show or racing car that has been modified to the max and it is very clear exactly what work has been done on the car.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2778" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/serious-but-subtle-modified-mazda6/attachment/31587_169200/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2778" title="31587_169200" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31587_169200-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Then there is the subtle modification, this usually involves taking a late year car and modifying to the max, but in a way that to the untrained eye the car looks almost exactly as it did when was driven out of the factory. This modification is one of these; the car looks A1 because it looks as if nothing has been done to it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2779" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/serious-but-subtle-modified-mazda6/attachment/31587_169155/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2779" title="31587_169155" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31587_169155-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>The work has been evenly spread around this car with some changes under the hood, such as a new short ram intake and custom turbo inlet pipe. Whereas around the car there are slight additions and changes that appear to be part of the original design, but are not and the only way you would is if this car was standing next to an identical factory finished model.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2780" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/serious-but-subtle-modified-mazda6/attachment/31587_169180/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2780" title="31587_169180" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31587_169180-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This is a first generation model, which can been being used as a family run around to a police car, it is clear to see why, the choice of engine varies from 1.8, 2.0, 2.3, 3.0 V6 litre units, with the choice of a four, five and six speed auto or a five and six speed auto gearbox. The power developed starts in the low hundreds but with tuning, can rise to exceed three hundred, so it is clear why this is popular car.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To get the story on this car we have rewind a couple years to 2008 when an idea was born, Honda, HOT92 and the Motor Trend Auto Shoes got together with Fox Marketing to come up with this dream machine. When once completed it would be put on show at the PA Auto and Boat Show and given away as the top prize in a draw, how cool would that have been?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2769" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/a-very-special-honda-fit/attachment/img_5330/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2769" title="IMG_5330" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_5330-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>This is a car that has been stripped back and rebuilt to highest specifications, with money no object we would have expected anything else. It is the sort of thing that a car fan who happens to be loaded, would be able to do and why blame them the work that has gone into this fantastic machine stands out a mile, you only have to look the car over to see that!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2770" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/a-very-special-honda-fit/attachment/img_5309/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2770" title="IMG_5309" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_5309-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>When a car such as this one appears at a show, it is the small details like the colour coded valve cover that stands out more than the major changes, such as the Tanabe cat-back exhaust system or indeed the Honda made performance body kit. The attention detail shows that every option has been well thought through and not just for looks and performance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2771" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/a-very-special-honda-fit/attachment/img_5365/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2771" title="IMG_5365" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_5365-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>This version of the Honda Fit is a second generation; it comes with a choice of 1.2, 1.3 or a 1.5 litre engine that produce between 98 HP and 117 HP. Although there is Mugen Motorsport version that delivers and fantastic 150 HP from the 1.5 litre power unit. However, there is only one question that we need to ask of this modified Honda Fit and that is, where is it now?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are certain cars that you would associate with being modified in any way; these are usually cars that our parents and grandparents drove, cars like the Toyota Corolla SR5. This is five door car with rear wheel drive and everything that you would think of as being in a car of the 80’s.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2760" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/modified-rwd-toyota-corolla-sr5/attachment/sstp_1008_03_o1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftbackfront_view/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2760" title="sstp_1008_03_o+1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftback+front_view" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sstp_1008_03_o+1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftback+front_view-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Yet if car could do with being modified, these are the cars! They have a little of design style, but more than that it is the classic features of a boxy type body with square angles and strange looking slots and bulges, these were the days when aero dynamics were for planes and not cars.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2761" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/modified-rwd-toyota-corolla-sr5/attachment/sstp_1008_06_o1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftbackinterior/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2761" title="sstp_1008_06_o+1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftback+interior" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sstp_1008_06_o+1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftback+interior-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This car has been modified gently, it still has the same style and design as did when it was on the drawing board, but this is different car altogether, with many modern features added being added under the hood and inside. So from the outside it may be 1980’s, but there is plenty of modern technology in there too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2762" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/modified-rwd-toyota-corolla-sr5/attachment/sstp_1008_09_o1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftbackengine/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2762" title="sstp_1008_09_o+1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftback+engine" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sstp_1008_09_o+1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftback+engine-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This particular model is the fourth generation of the car, the buyer would have been offered a choice of a 1.3 litre, 1.5 litre, 1.6 litre and a 1.8 litre engine offering 74 HP to 115 HP. There were more choices to come as it came in a 2 door, 3 door, 4 door, 5 door and even a van version, with some many options it’s no wonder these cars are classics.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2763" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/import-cars/modified-rwd-toyota-corolla-sr5/attachment/sstp_1008_02_o1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftbackrear_view/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2763" title="sstp_1008_02_o+1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftback+rear_view" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sstp_1008_02_o+1982_toyota_corolla_sr5_liftback+rear_view-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>

<p>Product Description of the Induction Intake System with Air Filter:</p>
<blockquote><p>Short ram air induction intake system is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion to yield more horse power. Short ram air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation. Coupling and hose maybe in the colour of red/blue/black.</p></blockquote>

<p>Product Description</p>
<blockquote><p>Quality remanufactured fuel injectors that are electronically tested for correct electrical resistance and for coil weakness. Good units are then disassembled (micro filter, seals, pintle caps and plastic spacer are removed.) Injectors are simultaneously cleaned in ultrasonic tanks specially designed to clean fuel injectors. All units are individually back flushed to remove the broken dirt particles, these particles cannot be removed thru the injection orifices therefore are driven out thru the inlet of the injector. All injectors are then mounted on the flow bench in an inverted position to allow them to reverse flow at a considerable pressure. We run a high performance injector cleaning solvent thru the injectors for 30 minutes, completing the cleaning process. This process assures all dirt particles are completely removed from the injector. Injectors are now mounted on the flow bench in the correct position to begin the testing procedures. We apply 60 PIS of pressure (more than a regular multi-port fuel injection system) and maintain the injectors with no signal to them for 30 seconds to make sure there are no leaks. Depending on the original manufacturer presentation, the injectors are either painted or polished to give the best cosmetic appearance possible. Injectors are then assembled with new replaceable components (filter baskets, pintle caps, O-rings and seals) and a final test is performed with all new components on injectors. The purpose of this test is to make sure the filter basket; o-rings, seals and pintle caps are positioned correctly and are not disturbing the flow or the spray pattern of the injector. Injectors are lubricated with special oil and protective caps are placed on both ends to extend the shelf life and assure that when they are installed in the vehicle they will be in optimum operating condition. Each injector is individually bagged.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It used be a popular thing to do during the eighties to make a car appear to be another brand or model and it seems that this trend has continued into the world of import building and modders, with this Mazda or Lotus being a prime example of how to make a good car look like another equally brilliant car.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2751" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/the-mazda-miata-with-split-personality/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal60_lg_05/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2751" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal60_lg_05" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal60_lg_05-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>It was said that Mazda drop head coupe was based on the Lotus Elan of the 1960’s and this Mazda Miata finished in the colours and style of a Lotus Elan from that time period, just goes to show exactly how close in design these two cars are.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2752" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/the-mazda-miata-with-split-personality/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal60_lg_24/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2752" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal60_lg_24" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal60_lg_24-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>You have to hand it to David Wooley, who has taken this fantastic Mazda and made into something beautiful that resembles the classic Lotus of the past. A lot of care and consideration has gone into this design and despite the Mazda actually keeping its modern shape; you cannot help but to take a second glance at this car.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2753" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/the-mazda-miata-with-split-personality/attachment/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal60_lg_03/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2753" title="img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal60_lg_03" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/img_mazdaspd_tuning_personal60_lg_03-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>This is a first generation model, sporting a 1.6 litre or 1.8 litre with a five speed manual or a four speed automatic gearbox. Providing around 120 HP and up to 140 HP depending on the set up of the car. This is real classic car these days and it deserves its place as classic car with a rich pedigree.  </p>

<p>Product Description for the Short Ram Air Induction Intake System:</p>
<blockquote><p>Short ram air induction intake system is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion to yield more horse power. Short ram air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation. Coupling and hose maybe in the colour of red/blue/black.</p></blockquote>

<p>Product Description of the OBX Red Spark Plug Wire Set:</p>
<blockquote><p>OBX High Performance Spark Plug Wires are the highest quality and thickest wires available in today&#8217;s market. Six individually wrapped 18 strand copper cores are wrapped with a stainless steel conductor to ensure greater ignition current conduction and longer spark duration. The core is covered with a special synthetic dielectric compound that prevents all electrical leakage and arcing of the current due to microscopic cracks when aging occurs. Extra heavy duty glass braid is woven around to withstand extreme wire stretch from pulling. All of this is coated with an outer sheeting of silicone double wrap measuring 10.3mm in thickness to withstand extreme engine bay temperatures.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now this is definitely not something that you would expect to find modified, it is a 2003 Mazda Protege and back in 2003 it would have been used for the weekly shop and daily school run. But now there is no room for kids and groceries, this is car that has been modified to the limit and yet still carries the shape of the car.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2742" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-2003-mazda-protege/attachment/31502_167275/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2742" title="31502_167275" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31502_167275-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Apart from high gloss orange finish the exterior has been left more or less alone, which is a good sign as that means the interior and under the hood have been modified to the extreme! Well hopefully in any case. The engine has been given the full treatment, as the specs below will show and so has the interior.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2743" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-2003-mazda-protege/attachment/31502_167285/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2743" title="31502_167285" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31502_167285-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This is the ninth generation of this model Mazda although it would have gone under one of a whole list of names. The options were quite extensive for the buyer, with a choice of 1.3 litre, 1.5 litre, 1.6 litre, 1.8 litre and 2.0 litre engines and a four speed and five speed manual or four speed auto box, producing up to 130 HP.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2744" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-2003-mazda-protege/attachment/31502_167277/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2744" title="31502_167277" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31502_167277-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This car has more to offer than that car that originally graced the roads and in some places still do, it is not that unusual to find one of these in a car park. However, modified these are rare and that is what modifying is all about.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2745" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mazda/modified-2003-mazda-protege/attachment/31502_167278/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2745" title="31502_167278" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31502_167278-550x269.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="269" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one hell of car and the fact that it owned and been worked by a woman should make any difference, yet in  market so dominated by the male, a girl is bound to have a hard to get taken seriously until she comes up with something as beautiful as this super modified Scion TC.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2733" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/performance/cool-looking-modified-scion-tc/attachment/1-7/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2733" title="1" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/1-550x368.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>It is the handy work of Cynce Tester, who bought this car new and with the help of the team at Teske Design produced what has to be considered as being one of the best models around. That may be debatable but check the car out for yourself, this is one of the great import builds and makes the Scion look supreme.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2734" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/performance/cool-looking-modified-scion-tc/attachment/dsc_0199/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2734" title="DSC_0199" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_0199-550x366.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>From the factory, the Scion TC would have been powered by the standard 2.4 litre engine, with either a four speed auto or five speed manual gearbox providing around 200 HP at the wheels. Although as ever there were some special editions of this car that offered some special editions, but the mechanics remained the same.</p>

<p>Cynce Testers car, has a whole host of specs and features that make this car something completely different from the standard car that rolls off of the production line and into the hands of the awaiting owners who would have probably not even taken it over 50 mph!</p>

<p>Product Description of the Series CS-2 Front Upper Strut Bar:</p>
<blockquote><p>DC sport a name synonymous with performance introduced the carbon steel CS-1 series strut bar. A strut tower brace is designed to reduce strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering via tension and compression of the strut bar which shares the load between both towers and reduces chassis flex. The result is significant improvement in handling and especially noticeable in tight corning turns. The CS-2 series takes the fundamental concept and improvement in the CS-1 series takes it to the next level. The CS-2 utilized the high tensile carbon steel and makes it even more rigid by adding 2 bars across the chassis and adds supporting sub frames to the bars. This dual design makes the strut bar even more stronger and further reduce chassis flex. The strut bar brace bracket is also made of the same carbon steel and specially engineered to have the small footprint and yet match the OEM strut tower bolt pattern for easy installation. A strut tower brace bar is essential to improve the handling of your vehicles.</p></blockquote>

<p>This particular model is the handy work of Alex Dunn, this a car that has been modified with a certain amount a care and consideration to the design of the actual car, meaning that from the normal person in street point of view it is possible to see what the car is without being told.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2725" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/the-modified-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-ten/attachment/559-picture-548-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2725" title="559-picture-548" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/559-picture-548-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>However just because this Lancer is clearly what it is, that does not mean that it has no guts for a lot of the modifications cannot be seen from outside. There are plenty of changes that allow this car to produce around 360 HP.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2726" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/the-modified-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-ten/attachment/559-picture-161/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2726" title="559-picture-161" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/559-picture-161-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The Lancer Evo IX was built over a span of two years, its standard 2.0 litre engine with either the five speed or six speed manual gearbox, would have produced around 280 HP, so clearly this featured has been modified enough to increase substantially increase the power, without spoiling the looks.</p>

<p>Product Description for the Cosworth CNC Ported Big Valve Cylinder Head:</p>
<blockquote><p>(4G63- MIVEC) Built for the (06) Mitsubishi EVO&#8230; For over 40 years, Cosworth has been the leader in innovative multi valve cylinder head design. Their latest advancement is the Cosworth CNC Ported Big Valve Cylinder head range. Modified from OE cylinder head castings, substantial gas flow improvements and upgraded valve train components offer superior performance for your high performance engine. Each original cylinder head design is carefully evaluated and tested to establish the improvements required to meet the target performance level. Hours of testing and flow bench validation are used to determine the best advanced port design yielding maximum usable power and response. However, there is more to cylinder design than just maximum flow. It is critical that port velocity is maintained to ensure drivability and valve train components are matched to guarantee reliable performance. Once all of these factors have been tested and validated, the final port contour is digitized. Using the digitized program, we then reshape both intake and exhaust ports using a 5 axis CNC mill producing and accurate and consistent port shape every time. In addition to re-shaping and enlarging the intake and exhaust ports, most Big Valve Cylinder heads feature a re-shaped combustion chamber to un-shroud the valves increasing air flow and performance. After machining, each cylinder head is ultrasonically cleaned, serialized and then hand assembled with select high performance valve train components, ready to install on you engine. Features include: Enlarged Intake and Exhaust ports Large diameter stainless steel intake valves Large diameter Inconel exhaust valves Hi Rev valve springs Titanium Retainers Hardened Steel spring platforms Reshaped combustion chamber on most applications Flow bench proven design Dyno tested Machined Cosworth Logo Multi angle valve job Pre-assembled, ready to install</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The reason why we call this “Timeless” is because of the design and style of the car, it is a shape that could last for a long time without ever becoming dated. This is something that does not always happen, as there are plenty of cars around that look dated and are nowhere near as old as this car, so testament to Honda there.</p>

<p>This is a car that is owned by our friends over at tunerzine.com and very jealous we are too! Naturally this car has been used to promote their business and why not, but the car is still the star here. It has been worked with pride and although under the hood and inside the car there have been some serious changes, while from the outside you can still tell what the car is.</p>

<p>This is third generation version of the Integra; it came with the choice of a 1.6 litre or 1.8 litre engine and the standard five speed gearbox or the four speed auto gearbox. Yet with the power ranging from 142 HP to 170 HP, this car was no slow coach.</p>

<blockquote><p>Skunk2 Racings Pro-Series Intake Manifold improves airflow thus increasing horsepower by as much as 8% over stock manifolds on stock engines and even more on modified or forced-induction engines. Skunk2 manifolds significantly increase horsepower between 3000-8800 rpm; the broadest power band increase in the industry. Our new Pro-Series design features a 22% increase in power over our previous design. Engineered with a larger plenum and tapered runners, Skunk2 manifolds increase and accelerate airflow, and are designed to increase the effects of wave scavenging at the engines optimum operating RPM range providing a broad overall increase in usable power. Each runner entry is also modified to balance airflow between cylinders. Oversized throttle bodies can be used as a result of the modified IAC opening on the flange. Like OEM factory manifolds, Skunk2 manifolds are shell molded and CNC machined, to achieve superior strength, high-quality finish, and a precise fit. Each manifold is vacuum tested to ensure quality and leak free operation. The Skunk2 Pro-Series manifold utilizes all stock sensors and auxiliaries for a simple bolt-on installation that delivers maximum power.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a car that has been designed to be modified, why? Just take a look at that grill space in the front it looks fierce, in fact it could look like it was going to take a bite out of the competition. In which they would be sure to dive out of the way and let the Lancer through without much competition at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2706" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/modified-mitsubishi-lancer-gts-2009/attachment/31325_164646/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2706" title="31325_164646" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31325_164646-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>However, in all seriousness the car is an interesting example of the 2009 model, the trouble with new cars is that there is very little to be done, but in order to modify a car the builder has to get in there and do something that makes their car stand out from the rest. That is something that has been achieved here and done well too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2707" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/modified-mitsubishi-lancer-gts-2009/attachment/31325_164603/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2707" title="31325_164603" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31325_164603-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This car is the evo ten or the tenth generation of the model and not just because it is the latest version, this model is considered to be the best of all Lancer Evo’s, which is saying something! The car is powered by the standard straight four 2.0 litre engine providing around 280 HP, but it can be upgraded to over 300 HP with not much work at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2708" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/modified-mitsubishi-lancer-gts-2009/attachment/31325_164608/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2708" title="31325_164608" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31325_164608-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>

<p>Product Description of the plated mesh grille insert kit:</p>
<blockquote><p>This is a Brand New 2 piece chrome like plated mesh grille insert kit. This grill will fit all Mitsubishi Lancer models from 2008. This mesh grille insert is for the upper grille. Note: This is not to replace your factory grille, it is simply an insert to change the current look of your car because this grille is simply an overlay. Therefore if you do not have the same front end as the picture this will not work. The mesh grille insert will attach straight on top of your factory grille using the provided wiring harness. The mesh has a diamond style pattern. This is very popular in the automotive scene. The mesh will not restrict airflow into your engine. The diamond mesh pattern has opens of 1/4&#8243; by 3/8&#8243;. The mesh is a 20 gauge material meaning that it is strong yet it is also pliable making this a great product to work with. The mesh is a chrome &#8216;like&#8217; mesh because it is not true chrome but is resembles it because of the shinny finish.</p></blockquote>

<p>The Acura or Honda Integra LS is the perfect family car, it offered safe and reliable driving for the average family, because of this it was nothing special in fact, you could say that this was a boring car designed to go about the day to day business that a family would do.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2698" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/acura/the-perfect-acura-integra-ls/attachment/sstp_1007_07_o1991_acura_integra_lsengine_shot/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2698" title="sstp_1007_07_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+engine_shot" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sstp_1007_07_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+engine_shot-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>However, that was then and this Acura Integra LS is now and there is little comparison between this car and its earlier incarnation. This is a right cool piece of work that has been developed over a number of years. Most parts have been replaced by proper racing parts and apart from the actual body line, that still resembles the old shape, there is little to remind us of what this car used to be.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2699" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/acura/the-perfect-acura-integra-ls/attachment/sstp_1007_09_o1991_acura_integra_lsinterior_shot/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2699" title="sstp_1007_09_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+interior_shot" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sstp_1007_09_o+1991_acura_integra_ls+interior_shot-499x375.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This is the second generation version of the car that offered a choice of a 1.6 litre, 1.7 litre and a 1.8 litre engine, together with a four speed auto and a five speed manual gearbox. However, some upgraded versions of the car were known to produce an interesting 160 HP, which is very handy for the school run or the weekly shop.</p>

<p>Product Description of the Ceramic Coated Performance Exhaust Manifold Header:</p>
<blockquote><p>You know you have to have a DC header on your sport compact to really get the most out of your engine&#8217;s abilities. All the air you can squeeze into the cylinders doesn&#8217;t make a bit of difference if the burned gasses can&#8217;t get out efficiently. And guess what: your factory manifold isn&#8217;t efficient. A DC header, on the other hand, is made up of individual runners heading back to a common collector. Compare that to your stock manifold, which most likely looks like a log that all the cylinders have to dump into. Since each cylinder gets its own individual exhaust pipe on the DC header, you avoid competing exhaust pulses, backpressure, and unequal pressures, all of which can stop the exhaust in its tracks and robbed your engine of precious horsepower. A DC Sports header will ensure that you get the most out of your induction system.

<p>Product Description for the GReddy Bolt-on Turbo Kits:</p>
<blockquote><p>(LS/RS &#8211; TD05H-18G &#8211; Cast Manif w/ E-Manage 310cc Inj.) Built for the (96-99) Acura Integra&#8230; It takes a tremendous amount of money and time to successfully increase the power of a naturally aspirated engine. With a GReddy bolt-on turbocharger kit you can obtain instant horsepower gains with less time and money while still having the potential for upgrading. Designed with turbos at the beginning end of their efficiency range, gives the buyer the option to increase power levels substantially, before having to ever upgrade the kit&#8217;s turbo. Unlike most turbo kits on the market today, GReddy kits are designed specifically for driveability and reliability, as well as performance. Since they are based completely on stock engines, these kits come with all the necessary basics, including fuel enrichment. Many of the kits are covered under CARB E.O. Numbers, which make them 50-state street legal. If competition use is your goal, there are many GReddy upgrades (Intercoolers, blow-off valves, fuel management and boost controllers) to boost the power output even further. (CARB E.O. # D-397, D-397-3, D-397-7)</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Eclipse is a great looking car and makes no difference from which angle it is looked at from either, there is a certain style that appeals to people. It may be the curve that slightly rides up and then down from front to back, but whatever it is we cannot get enough of the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2688" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/modified-1998-mitsubishi-eclipse-gsx/attachment/31347_164895/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2688" title="31347_164895" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31347_164895-550x369.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="369" /></a></p>
<p>This is a modified car, but not in the sense that there are extreme changes to the exterior, everything that has been done is in good taste, the finish of pure white just adds to the image of this particular model and those TR Motorsport 17 inch Typhoon wheels are the finishing touch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2689" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/modified-1998-mitsubishi-eclipse-gsx/attachment/31347_164896/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2689" title="31347_164896" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31347_164896-521x375.jpg" alt="" width="521" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Most of the work has been done under the hood, with many of the original features being replaced by new and improved versions, this just makes the car very desirable as the there is nothing like a car that drives like new and yet this one is from 1998!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2690" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/mitsubishi/modified-1998-mitsubishi-eclipse-gsx/attachment/31347_164897/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2690" title="31347_164897" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/31347_164897-550x347.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="347" /></a></p>
<p>This is the second generation Eclipse that came with a choice of the 2.0 litre or 2.4 litre engine and a four speed auto or five manual gearbox. The power range was 140 HP to 210 HP, so it is amazing the changes in performance that can be had depending on the choices made when ordering the car.</p>

<p>Product Description of the OBX Red Overdrive Power Pulley Kit:</p>
<blockquote><p>Designed to replace OEM accessory pulleys, OBX Overdrive Power Pulley Kits are designed to be lighter than the stock pulleys. By reducing the rotational mass, the engine uses less power to power accessories such as the alternator and power steering pump, which translates into more available horsepower and torque. This well-known and highly utilized process is known as reducing parasitic drag from power-robbing accessories. Depending on application, some of our pulleys have a larger diameter than stock. By utilizing the process of over-driving, the accessory is utilized more efficiently by doing more work on a single spin of the pulley. OBX Overdrive Power Pulley Kits are a great upgrade for any driver to realize the full potential of his or her prized vehicle.</p></blockquote>

<p>Product Description od the HKS Carbon Titanium Exhaust Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX:</p>
<blockquote><p>Inspired and designed from endurance and GT racing in Japan, HKS developed its Hi-Power Exhaust system for both turbocharged and naturally aspirated applications. HKS has incorporated this new race inspired offset muffler and piping design into many street applications, which offers a greater flow and higher-PRM power gains due to the less restrictive design. This is achieved by eliminating unnecessary bends for the straightest exhaust path. For turbocharged applications, the large and smooth exhaust flow allows greater exhaust velocity for better mid-range boost response and high-RPM power. Naturally, aspirated vehicles also benefit from greater exhaust flow capacity as engine tuning levels increase. Certain applications are available in a Silent Hi-Power version, which has an inner silencer built into the muffler. Like Drager Exhaust systems, Hi-Power Exhaust systems are made from SUS304 stainless steel muffler and tip assemblies. Depending on the application, Hi-Power muffler tips are 96mm, 115mm and 120mm in diameter, piping diameter ranges from 55mm to 95mm. Special Edition HKS Carbon Titanium Hi-Power Exhaust systems are exclusively available for certain popular applications. These exclusive versions of the Hi-Power Exhaust consist of a carbon fibre wrapped muffler shell, titanium tip, and polished SUS304 stainless steel piping.</p></blockquote>

<p>So what is it, in fact this is the ultimate import build, it is a Toyota Supra from around 1998, but it has been modified to such an extent that the car has taken on the appearance of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Mustang">Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Eleanor</a> dating from 1967!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2681" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/what-the-hell-is-this/attachment/toyota-eleanor-suppra-cover/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2681" title="toyota-eleanor-suppra-cover" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/toyota-eleanor-suppra-cover.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>You can still see the Supras curves within the design, but this is a good exercise in how far a build can go, this is the work of a group of students from Saitama University, who are naturally studying on the college’s automotive course and of course have developed something very special.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2682" href="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/toyota/what-the-hell-is-this/attachment/toyota-eleanor-supra-12/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2682" title="Toyota-Eleanor-Supra-12" src="http://rideyourpimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Toyota-Eleanor-Supra-12-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>The donor car for this transformation is the fourth generation version of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Supra">Supra</a>; this would have had the standard 3.0 litre engine with a choice of five or six speed manual and a smooth four speed auto gearbox. The car would have been delivering around 300 HP, but with all of those panels on board it is hardly going to matter!</p>
