The Exige returned to Laguna Seca on Monday, August 27, to test a new aero setup! Trackspec removed the stock splitter, wing, and diffuser and replaced them with the Reverie 1650mm wing, Reverie front splitter, and Difflow Flat Track diffuser.

Ending the Season at Sonoma
This event marked our second attempt at the Sonoma 4-hour enduro, part of the NASA Western Endurance Racing Championship series (also known as WERC). Last year, we attempted to run this race with 2 cars (my ST4 Honda S2000 and Liam’s ST4 Honda Civic). Unfortunately, both cars had to retire early because of parts failures. I broke two differentials (my main and my spare) and Liam lost a gearbox.

Developing the new shop car
If you follow us on social media, you know that we recently acquired a 2001 BMW 330i sedan. The car has already gone through some major transformation in the last couple of weeks. We're not sure where this car's origins are from exactly (it probably spent most of its life driving people to and from work, or the mall)…

Irene Re-Refresh: Round Two
We left off in March after having just picked up our new (to us) J32A2 engine, and as promised we've been busy getting it ready for the demanding rigors of race conditions. We were thrilled to receive high-performance valves, springs, and retainers from my partners at Supertech Performance in order to do just that. These awesome parts allow us to rev the J32A2 engine well beyond it's OEM redline limitations, but safely.

Sam's Audi B5 S4
Sam approached me at our grand opening party about two years ago. He had just moved to California with an unfinished track-car project. He said it didn't have any windows, the cage needed to be finished, it needed seats mounted and a bunch of other random bits to put it back together. As I started to show interest in completing this project for him, he casually mentioned that the main wiring harness had been cut and the car would no longer start.
Fiat X19 K20 Swap
About a year ago, we were approached by the owner of this yellow Fiat X19. We set up an appointment so that he could interview the team who would be working on his Fiat X19 Honda K20 swap. After discussing our credentials and the logistics, the owner decided that we were the right shop for this project. We don't usually work on X19s, but I felt that it would still fit well in our shop since it's a light weight, mid-engine, sports car.
