Le Mans - 1986
Friday, November 11, 2011
The first lap of the 1986 Le Mans 24 hour race. This was in the days of the group C monsters and a Mulsanne straight with no chicanes. This clip is a reminder of the way Le Mans used to be, it's nice to see a field of cars that run of petrol too.....

Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale
Sunday, November 6, 2011
I've always had a soft spot for this car and here is why. When it launched in 1968 it was the most expensive production car in the world costing $17,000 which was 6 times the average price of a regular car. The engine was designed as an out and out race unit featuring a dry sump, over square fuel injected 2 litre V8. The engine had a redline of 10,000 rpm and produced 230bhp, the race version produced 270bhp. I love how the lines of the car flow and the classic Italian colour combination really finishes it off.

911 GT2RS
Monday, October 24, 2011
It's not often I am keen on brand new cars, but having seen a 911 GT2RS up close at Silverstone a few weeks back I couldn't get over how striking it looks. Carbon fibre everywhere, bucket seats, a roll cage, and a big wing really make the car stand out. If I had a spare £190,000 one of these wouldn't go a miss.

Roadster Demo Car: I - Styling
Monday, September 26, 2011
The I - Styling NA6 Roadster is very subtle but at the same time those in the know can pick out some of the incredibly rare items on the car. From the Enkei RPF1 14 inch wheels (limited run at the time) to the M2 1001 gauges and other interior pieces, this car has been modified in all the right areas. The car has been fitted with Nakamae bucket seats and the stance is helped by a set of Tein Flex coilovers.

Roadster Demo Car: Pitcrew Racing
Saturday, September 24, 2011
I wanted to put together a feature looking at the Eunos Roadster tuning houses in Japan. The first one I want to look at in none other than the love or hate Pitcrew Racing demo car. A lot of Pitcrew's can look thrown together if not thought out carefully, the Pitcrew Racing demo car on the other hand is nothing like that.
The car is based off an NA6 and features pretty much the entire range of Pitcrew Racing products. The car is set up on carburettors to help give that classic feel.
Here are some photographs on the car,
The interior features some Nakamae pieces that help add to the old school vibe.
Stay tuned for more Roadster tuning shop demo cars.
