There's something about a wildly unique build that just gets us going over here and today we're bringing you something that's definitely unique. Meet Don Abenante. Oh, and meet his '69 Camaro, pre-chopping it up to make room for a wild drivetrain. He's 30/m/FL (yeah, you just got A/S/L'd), a mechanical engineer and a big fan of old iron.  Oh, and you can't overlook the striking resemblance to Tony Angelo of Hot Rod Garage and Formula D fame.  Sorry Don, couldn't continue without pointing that out..... Enough of my dated corny jokes.  Let's let Don tell you a little bit...

Holy crap...  That's all we can say! Posted early this morning, Clinched shared this collection of images of their new 15-17 Mustang wide body kit as part of the #RoadtoSEMA movement. Typically, a wide body kit can be way overdone, but this kit is tasteful and follows the natural lines of the 15-17 cars very well.  Hats off to them for a killer design!

Are you setting your car up for a motor sports application? If so, what type of motor sports? If not, what sort of driving will you be doing?   Do you have a ride quality expectation? All...

Today's voodoo/black magic topic is pinion angle.  In my experience, some guys just "get it".  The rest of us, have no idea the positive and negative affects pinion angle has on your drive line until it strikes and we have to blindly chase a vibration, rub or bind in the drive train. For those that are tinkering with lightly modified street cars, you'll find that with OEM type suspension components, engine mounts and transmission mounts that your pinion angle isn't affected enough to create problems unless something is broken.  Even upgraded components that match OEM sizes and geometry maintain the...

There's a few things we confessedly and unabashedly DIG around here. 1. Fast Cars 2. Passion 3. Family 4. Fast Cars 5. Passion 6..... I think you get my point. Valerie Clements of VCR (Valerie Clements Racing) combines all of the above into a cool story of growth and development while pursuing something she and her brother/tuner are passionate about. Valerie started her racing career at 2001 at the tender age of 8 in Jr. Dragsters.  From 01-07, she bracket raced Jr. Dragsters, then started heads up racing (330 Outlaw Jr. Dragsters). She loved the competitive nature of heads up...
