I’m back, Fiends! After getting all matrimonied up and taking some much needed R&R, I’m back around to show you what’s what in the automotive world. What better for a return post than a little taste of Honda can’t-have. What you see above is Mugen’s latest interpretation of an aero kit for the Type R. [...]

Get out your wallet, Fiends. Word on the Web is Toyota’s selling off bits of its race rigs. Everything from lightweight rims to the engine cover with under-floor and rear wing. You can seven snap up brake discs and suspension wishbones for pretty damn cheap. Is Toyota desperately trying to raise cash for its race [...]

The boys at the Blue Oval have set pricing on the first car to carry the mythical Ecoboost twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6. The 2010 Lincoln MKS can be had with the miracle mill for $47,760.

There’s some cleverly-worked scenes with both drivers chatting [...]

There’s also a quad exhaust system that we don’t quite understand (that’s one tip per cylinder). Still, the lowering springs and 17 [...]

The guys and gals responsible for some of the hottest trick bits for your ride were biting their nails when parent Japanese parent company Trust filed bankruptcy in the land of the rising sun. There’s good news for long-time fans of the company. [...]

Looks like HKS has finally gotten around to getting its mighty GT570 package for the GT-R out on track. And not just any track, either. The tuning gurus took their handiwork to the legendary Fuji Speedway for a quick lap. The GT570 package ups the GT-R’s horsepower to – fittingly enough – 570 precious ponies, [...]

The guys at Vortech have let slip a tasty little video of a Pontiac G8. You know when Vortech and GM get together good things happen. Things like a blown LS3. The company is in prototype stage right now, so there are no power numbers, but sweet lord does this thing sound good. Weren’t we [...]
