The LEGEND

The legendary Mazada RX-7. Affordable, sleek, and light as a feather, the car came to the scene just after the world was recovering from a gas crisis. But almost 40 years later you can see this car tearing up tracks and drift events around the world. The RX7 has been widely known not only for its looks but also because of its historical engine. The wankel rotary engine. The rotary engine works out of a geometric principle of insribed triangles inside of an epitrichoid. This amazing rotary engine was invented by Felix Wankel a very intelligent German engineer, who happned to be only a teenager at the time! After creating a prototype and testing it multiple times, the team decided to release it to the public. Thus, coming out with their very first rotary-sports car, the Cosmo Sport 110 in 1967. These cars from mazda sold really well, that is until the gas crisis hit. In 1978 the market had recovered enough for Mazada to relase their new rotary sports car, the Mazda RX-7. This car was meant for a straight replacement for the RX-3 series but later ended up replacing all of the rotary cars except for the cosmo. The RX-7 was becoming a beast in the racing world as it was fast, very light, and it handled beautifully. Finally in 1985 Mazda decided to redesign the RX-7 and cane out with the second generation. This time along mazda decided to use the Porsche 944 for reference to te body of the car. This car was known as the series 4 and was produced from 1986 to 88 came with a 13b DEI engine. Then in 1992, mazda released the stuning and futuristic looking third generstion RX-7. It came with a 13b-REW sequential twin-turbo engine. They were designed by Hitschi and worked together to give smooth acceleration. It operated between 1800 to 4000 rpm. While the RX-7 is no longer in production, it has left s lasting impression inthe automotive world and all of our hearts. The RX-7 was a constant presence in the 24 hours of Le mans endurance race, from its first miss by a second to quality to its eventual 1991 dominance with the iconic 787b. The csr dominated the IMSA GTU series for 10 long years. From 1982 to 92 it won more races than any other model.

JDM ENGINES

What is really special about the JDM engine you may ask?? Well toyota makes a whole family of inline six cylinder engines called JS’s. There are three 2.5 liter inline six engines called 1JZ’s, and there are three 3 liter variants called 2JZ’s. Thats one of the main reasons why the 2JZ is pretty popular. The lager displacement of 3 liters simply means more horsepower than a 2.5 liter engine. The JDM engines are built so well that they could easily triple or double the horsepwer. The 2JZ-GTE engine is the most notorious example of this. At its core, the two 2JZ GTE is a Twin Turbo, 3 L six-cylinder engine, with an iron block and analuminum head. The 2JZ GTE, G meaning performance wide angle valve DOHC, T meaning turbo charged, and E meaning electronic fuel injection. Those are all very good things to have if you want to make more horsepower. Both fuel injection systems and turbos are pretty easy to tune an upgrade. The JDM engine has more space in the engine chassy than any other car which means you can install more bigger upgrades like a bigger turbo. For example American market supervise where is sold with big your fuel injectors stronger turbos and different cams then JDM cars. That made Supras make 320 hp at 5600 RPM and 315 foot power of torque at 4000 RPM. Thus in its stock form the 2JZ engine uses a basic set up for a turbo. For The biggest tune tune or swap the TwinTurbo set up for one big turbo. Why, because a bigger turbo can make more boost than two smaller ones which helps the engine make its peak power. The fact that Toyota engineers over engineered the 2JZ is the main reason that it’s so easy to make a few mods and get it up to 800 horsepower. Straight out of the Toyota factory the JDM engine can take massive amounts of boost and power and is known to be durable and long lasting. Engines that are using more modest components would have to be torn down to upgrade all the components that could fail under high stress of more power. The cylinder head is made of aluminum which helps dissipate heat much more quickly. Pistons are also made of aluminum and they have slightly dished tops. At high engine temperature is in a high-speed this helps the engine to remain cool so they don’t break down. Dissension also has a high capacity oil pump and a cooling system. All of these components make the JDM engines one of the most reliable and well-known engines to the car community.

5 crazy things About the Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X is one, if not THE most futuristic car in its generation. Everyone knows 2 things about the tesla. Its very cool Falcon doors and the car is really fast. But for me there are only five crazy features that I wanna tell you guys about today.

1: The Tesla model X can fully drive itself. Yes I really said drive itself. As I mentioned before this car is very futuristic and obviously this is proven by the ability for the cars to not only drive itself but to navigate through objects such as people, bicyclists, traffic signs, and many other things without causing a collision. The Tesla model X has the most advanced driving of any vehicle currently on the road. The crazy part is it’s actually fully capable of going from point a to point B type in an address and having the vehicle get you there with no driver intervention. Crazy right?! The catch is the current law and regulations don’t allow her to do that so while it is physically possible to do it until the low passes and there’s a softer update you’re actually model X will not be able to do that. The most crazy part out of all of this is that you don’t even have to do anything in certain instances such as you can link up your model X to your calendar and if the car knows you have an appointment at a certain location you just get in the car and it takes you there. Once the car drops you off it goes and looks for a parking spot.

2. The doors. Yes it has falcon doors but the more important and cool part is how you get in. All four doors can be opened with The key that comes with the Tesla model X. The crazy thing about it is all of these doors would literally open and not just the doors were talking about the Frunk and the truck will all open just from your key. If you don’t want to use the key that’s fine because all you have to do to open these doors just tap on the door handles and it will open right up. This is the way to the future.

3. The third crazy feature of this car is the falcon doors itself. You can actually open with just a foot of space to the side of them. The doors have unique sensors built-in so it knows when there is an object right beside it. So basically opens halfway without hitting the object. Another thing that’s really cool about the doors is that the doors give you so much space rather than sitting in the middle seat. There is a glass window on top of the door so basically you have so much more headroom than sitting in the middle.

4. The fourth feature is the Tesla can actually park itself with the key fab while you’re out of the vehicle. Let’s say you want to pull into a tight parking spot and you think you can’t really get up because you can’t open the doors, just simply get out of the car and use the teslas self parking system and it’ll really park itself.

5. The fifth and final feature is that the Tesla has the biggest windshield in a production car. It is absolutely massive. Instead of cutting before head level you can steer up into outer space but just a general driving experience has gone extremely up because of this windshield modification. It’s probably one of the coolest features of the car and it just makes the driving experience a lot more fun than being stuck under one roof

Overall the Tesla model X is ultimately the most futuristic car today and if you are trying to save money on gas or are you just trying to get a glimpse on the future this is the perfect car for you.

The FERRARI 488

The Ferrari 488 is one of the most controversial Ferraris ever made. It was a radical change from its predecessor the 458 with its controversial styling and the choice to go forced induction. Is it a welcome progression or a step in the wrong direction for the Italian supercar manufacture.

While it shares some stylistic elements with the 458 almost all of the body panels on the 488 have been completely redesigned except the roof and the greenhouse. Now the 458’s iconic design what is a product of the Italian design house Pininfarina. In the front the 488 shares identical headlights with the 458.

Mclaren 600LT

McLaren has a different range of cars such as special series, sport series, and hyper series cars. What are you do need to know is the baby car the 570 S on which the 600 LT is best is quite different to the others as it has a conventional suspension system. It has basic springs or struts nothing cross-linked or hydraulic or nothing clever. It’s a quite simple car compared to the others which does give it an advantage because it feels conventional. We have 30 more horsepower than the 570 and some mean looking exhaust. The 600 LT seeds or very race type seat and are very hard to be seated in for a long period of time. The McLaren Turbo charged V8 can get away from being quite laggy. It’s honestly a really quite laggy engine compared to other engines being more immediate. The brakes in the 600 LT are absolutely amazing and I always feel like there’s something about the 600 that is very special compared to any other car or supercar. It’s a very fun car and you also want to move around a lot. You could tell when you first get into the car. The steering in the McLaren is very very right on and not laggy at all. It has the higher hand on any other super car on the street. Everything in the chassis of the new 600 LT is lighter and faster than the 570S. It also has components from the 720S such as the springs and the brake calipers. Overall the car is 96 kg lighter.

El camino

The El camino has been accused of being the Mullet of cars for too long. The El Camino is truly one of the most unique cars to ever come out of Detroit. From humble beginnings hauling hay to later killing the track!

yes the El Camino is not the first car truck thing to go on sale in the state. Ford it first with the Ranchero in 1957. Ford marketed the Ranchero as more than a car, more than a truck, and it was a hit and Chevrolet took notice. First El Camino was brought to the market two years after the Ranchero in 1959. Chevy sold over 22,000 units in the first year of production but it got worse in 1960 and sales dropped. Baby boomer families are growing so they needed more than two seats in the cargo space wasn’t that great. Basically Chevy missed out on both markets. The El Camino was discontinued the following year. Meanwhile the Ford Ranchero is doing pretty good. It was now based on the Ford falcon just like the mustang. Chevy took note of fords experimentation and said we can do that and then brought back the El Camino in 1964. Chevy was determined to market the El Camino has a truck with the comforts of a car as a personal car with the utility of a truck. However as the 1964 model UN by Chevy eventually offered at 327 in.³ V8 making a decent 300 hp. From 1964 to like 1980 the design changed every single year. The El Camino took the beautiful looks of the Chevelle and mixed it with the practicality of the truck. Chevy continue to get the El Camino more and more power and it got better and better looking. Chevy sold the most Caminos in 1968 as it was a car that made 375 hp. And finally in 1969 Chevy finally gave the people the Camino SS.

Top 3 budget mods for you car

With the remodel you can get a taste of the racecar experience every day on your way to work in whatever car you own. I’ll be covering the best Mods you can do to your car to make it faster and what you need to know to avoid trouble on the way. Making your car faster means improving on three principles of vehicle dynamics: handling, breaking, and acceleration. They all affect one another and so will all the Mods you buy for your car. You will need to do some planning so all your mods work in harmony once you move up the chain of performance upgrades. This way you won’t run into many issues and you can spend more time having fun in your car. 1.) Coilovers: The best way to start is with an upgrade that improves all three principles at the same time. Coilovers improve handling, breaking, and acceleration by keeping your car in a controlled state during aggressive driving. This means will be more planted when launching from a stop. You’ll have a better weight distribution under breaking so your front tires won’t take all the load. You’re handling will also improve by giving you a better feel and a lower center of gravity. You get what you pay for with coil overs and a cheap universal set can do more harm than good. The quality set of coilovers are not only going to drastically increase the performance of your car, they are also going to set the pace for the rest of your upgrades. If you’re only looking to do one upgrade coilovers willdefinitely give you that race car feel. Match the set with the wider wheels and tires and the improvement to your car’s performance will be even better. But you want to consider both before you put the trigger on a new suspension. 2.) Tires: starting from the ground up your tires are the first point of contact between your car and the road. They also come in a wide range of performance ratings and sizes. So you want to suspension to match the performance of the tires. Since you’re looking for a taste of the racecar experience, you’ll want tires that grip the road like Pumphrey grips to the memories of his dad. You can achieve that with a wider tire that has a softer compound to stick on the road. There is many extreme performance tires to choose from and all of them are going to give you a huge performance advantage in all three driving principles. If your stock wheels don’t have many performance tire options then you can step it up a notch by upgrading your wheels. 3.) Wheels: first off you going to want to make sure that whatever wheel size you choose has plenty of tire options. So check out your options online before you pull the trigger on your wheel size since you’re looking for performance you want to make sure you buy something light. Even the smallest weight savings here will give you a noticeable difference and acceleration, and handling, and breaking. Lowering the weight of the rotating mass makes it easier to speed up or slow down that mass. Plus it’s unsprung weight in other words it’s a part of the car that moves around while you’re driving. Weight savings here are exponentially more effective than weight savings anywhere else. Lighter suspension components means your car can respond much quicker to steering inputs while under load. Now picking the size of your wheel depends heavily on the model of your car. The best way to find out which Will is right for your car is a search the forms and see what everyone else is using. You can save yourself a ton of money and time by learning from everyone else’s mistakes unlike anywhere else opinions matter in the car community. So, stick to these mods and just do a basic tuneup and Oil changes. Other high dollar upgrades only give you marginal great gains and run a big chance of triggering engine failure and causing problems. Sometimes its good to stay safe and be a little basic.

Both fuel injection systems and turbos are pretty easy to tune an upgrade. The 2JZ engine has more space in the engine chassy than any other car which means you can install more bigger upgrades like a bigger turbo. For example American market supervise where is sold with big your fuel injectors stronger turbos and different cams then JDM cars. That made Supras make 320 hp at 5600 RPM and 315 foot power of torque at 4000 RPM. Thus in its stock form the 2JZ engine uses a basic set up for a turbo. For The biggest tune tune or swap the TwinTurbo set up for one big turbo. Why, because a bigger turbo can make more boost than two smaller ones which helps the engine make its peak power. The fact that Toyota engineers over engineered the 2JZ is the main reason that it’s so easy to make a few mods and get it up to 800 horsepower. Straight out of the Toyota factory the 2JZ engine can take massive amounts of boost and power and is known to be durable and long lasting. Engines that are using more modest components would have to be torn down to upgrade all the components that could fail under high stress of more power. The cylinder head is made of aluminum which helps dissipate heat much more quickly. Pistons are also made of aluminum and they have slightly dished tops. At high engine temperature is in a high-speed this helps the engine to remain cool so they don’t break down. Dissension also has a high capacity oil pump and a cooling system. All of these components make the 2JZ engines one of the most reliable and well-known engines to the car community.

Drifting

Drifting. It is one of the most influential car sports since originating in Japan. Drifting is basically taking a 3000 pound object and making it go sideways which got started by a road racer who had a gap between him and the guy behind him, he would basicaly slode around some of the corners. From then on people stuck on to his moments ans evolved it to what is now known as Drifting.

Drifiting was just something that kids developed as they’re racing down the street and then it became and underground thing out on the mountian roads where they would drift there. The drivers would just race up and down and as the rear ends of their cars started coming out people got excited. In the US its a really a huge show by basically demonstrating car control and huge speeds with precision. You’re literally right on the edge of adhesion from the tired of your own personal control and the amount of grip your car will get. In comparison You really just let the string will spin, grab it, go the other way, grab it, and it’s just all about accelerator control and it’s just very fluid.

There are a couple things or tricks you need to know when it comes to drifting. One of them being is a handbrake initiation to a corner and unlike just pulling the handbrake to start the car sliding. There are some tracks that are very high speed that are over a 100 miles an hour and very narrow and you have to slide down that narrow straightaway into a corner. The technique is really pulling the handbrake in a straight line, setting the angle and then dumping the clitch to slide through the corner. The more angle you have on the car the mosre countersteer you know the tires facing in the more smoke the better. Thats where drifting is unlike any other traditional motorsport where theres no time involved. The biggest differences between drifting and road racing is the drifters actually put the car into a slide controlled by steering inputs or by throttle inputs.

Turbos and How they work

Turbo. It is one if the most exciting words in the world of cars. Twin turbo, bu turbo, big turbo, twinn scroll. All these are just the start of something that gives a car a roaring life. Turbos make cars more efficient, faster, and they make awesome blow off valve noises. Turbos are truly the best mod for your car realistically and smartly.

So how does a turbo work. Basically as ur engine expels gasses, the exhaust air gets piped over the turbine, and spins it like a pinwheel. When its done with the exhaust it gets shot out the back of the car. The turbine is then connected to the impeller, on the opposite side of the turbo. This also spins to and as it spins it sucks it a major amount of air through its inlet, and shoots it out this outlet into your intake manifold. Thus making the air more dense so it has more oxygen, so it can burn more gas more quickly causing the driver to gain way more power. To keep that charged air from going back into the turbo, wheb you lift of the throttle, a lift of valve relieves the pressure, by letting the air go back into the atmosphere. And thats why turbo drivers get that cool sound that turbos cars have. Complicated but always cool.

Turbos have alot of hear and the turbine side constantly has blazing exhaust passing through it, making it literally burn red hot😱. This is why the “hot side” of the turbo often looks rusty because the extreme hear acts as a catalyst, causing the metal to oxidize more quickly.

Turbo charging is the perfect example of performance technology, trickling down to the rest of the market. They 80’s and 90’s paved the way for modern turbo charging. And now, almost any car can come with a turbo. Crazy stuff man crazy stuff.
