Mazda RX8, with the latest model year has larger exhaust pipes





Officially designated as a "2+2 coupe" the RX-8 places performance ahead of utility in regards to rear seating space. Almost as an apology to those squeezing into the back seat, the RX-8 has a pair of "free style" rear doors to ease entry. These rear doors closely resemble suicide doors made famous by the Lincoln Continental circa 1961.
The 1.3-liter RENESIS rotary power plant that is famously "Mazda" is good for 212 horsepower with an automatic transmission and 232 with a manual gearbox. This high powered engine coupled with the RX-8's nearly perfect 50-50 weight distribution make for an impressively powerful sports car.
True to its sports car roots the RX-8 is most commonly equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox. In a nod to convenience Mazda is also offering a six-speed automatic transmission equipped with steering wheel paddle shifters on all trim levels.
The base "Sport" trim level has two option groups available. Xenon headlamps, fog lights, and traction control can be added to manual RX-8s.
Automatic models can have all these features added as well as 18" wheels, a limited slip differential, larger brakes, and a sport tuned suspension. All of these options become standard on the "Touring" model which adds a power moonroof and 300-watt Bose stereo.
The "Grand Touring" model comes with leather appointed seats, an 8-way powered driver's seat, a remote start system, and heated mirrors.
The latest model year has larger exhaust pipes, new LED taillights, new front and rear bumpers, and a restyled front end. A few suspension and manual transmission tweaks should assist in overall handling and acceleration, while the interior benefits from a redesigned steering wheel and a fresh set of front and rear seats.
Also of note, Mazda has added a "variable red-zone" to the tachometer. Due to the nature and mechanics of the rotary engine, drivers will be shown a different "red line" based on engine temperatures.
The new look is overall more aggressive and should endow the RX-8 a little extra curb-appeal. A new option group is also be available, dubbed the "R3" option package. The R3 will boast a rear spoiler, 19" alloys, and Mazda-styled Recaro racing seats.

Lamborghini Gallardo

Oh! This Is My Dream Car, Lamborghini Gallardo


               Lamborghini Gallardo holds a very special place and deserves a very special mention. It is an entry-level sports car from Lamborghini and its success is so big that it remains the most-produced Lamborghini car of the company to date. Ever since its introduction to the market, over 5000 supercars have been built which is an unparalleled achievement in the history of Lamborghini. It is considered a competitor to Ferrari 360 and Ferrari F430. The Gallardo sports car is named after a popular breed of fighting bull, which fits it perfectly. When the project of Gallardo was about to get started, it was conceptualized to be a sports car which could be also used for everyday uses. Looking at its details, we will have to say that they have succeeded in doing that.





             The supercar is amazing to look at with a stylish aluminium space frame. It has a mid-rear mounted engine and the gearbox is placed behind the engine. The Gallardo sports car has a permanent four wheel driving system with low center gravity which makes for a great drive. It has two mounted water radiators in the front and a one sided mounted oil cooler and an independent double wishbone suspension which aptly fits the system. As per the rich tradition of Lamborghini sports cars, a whole lot of attention has gone into the weight distribution system of the car. 42% of the weight is distributed to the front and 58% of the weight is distributed to the rear end. This weight system is said to be the perfect one for a sports car, in order to achieve the best possible traction and for easy braking and handling. It is a compact car, just about 167 inches in length and has been packaged well. In fact, it is considered one of the best two-seater high performance cars in the segment.

The supercar Gallardo engine is largely based on the good old straight-5 design of Audi. It has a 520 bhp (382 kW) V 10 engine which is powerful to hit high speeds on both country and city roads. The sports car can hit a maximum speed of 196 mph and can clock 0-60 in four seconds. It has two types of transmissions  the traditional six speed manual transmission and an electro-hydraulic auto clutch manual, which is aptly called the E-gear. You can make shifts very fast thanks to the control offered by the manual. You don’t have to manually operate the clutch, as it can be controlled by the paddles fit behind the steering wheel. This gives great convenience while driving and works way better than the conventional transmission system. Perhaps the best thing about Lamborghini engineering, particularly in this sports car, is that it has been designed in such a way that it is equally pleasurable to drive on a race track as well as on city and country roads. A lot of attention went into the engineering to make sure that the supercar gives the same performance while racing as well as pleasure driving, and they have just got that right.

improve your performance with cold air intake




If you are looking to improve your performance with cold air intake, you will be faced with many choices. One of the most popular choice of people have been found to produce significant results is the K & N cold air intake. There are others out there who are performing at a level equal to K and N air intake, like the folds of the cold air intake, water intake Fujta RAM and Cold air intake. They are all good choices and all of our cold air intake system will increase your air flow somewhat. Whether it is a cold air intake, air intake or short ram Air Raid intake setup style. 

The Injen intake setup cold Airport is one of the most popular choice among all types of car enthusiasts. This is pretty hard to beat K & n air intake, and they offered the original setup is just a replacement of water filter that allows more air to pass. Over time, the intake air and a spark appeared Kn other signs such as water intake system AEM cold, Iceman cold air intake and cold air intake kit other. They are all very similar, but some offer better fitment of other people in different cars. 



air intake kit is one of the first upgrades are usually made. For example, AEM cold air intake system usually comes with the air intake hose, screws, fitting and filtering. Some of our cold air intake even come with additional water intake tubing and hot-air intake shield. K & n cold air intake has grown from just a filter to now have the option to purchase all k & n cold air into the system w / pipe, clutch and all.

 Replacement and renewal of your air intake is one of the first modification is usually made of your machine. Water is one of the three main ingredients in producing more power in combustion engines: AIR, FUEL and SPARK. Enhanced air intake will allow more air into the system, also provide air conditioning for your engine 'that benefits both to improve the efficiency and power.

Exchange is the place conditioning block, small and home filters are also often blocked.After market air intakes are larger and allow you a higher density of air to pass and make his way into the combustion chamber. So if you want to increase horsepower or scrape a few extra miles to the gallon, the air intake modification, cheap but really productive results. One of the best things you can do for your travel is taking a k & n cold air intake
 air and prevent it from negatively affected by the heat engine. 

Sometimes, when the engine bay with limited space or just for personal preference, a short ram filter can be used. The same technology used with the short ram intake, but making it yourself (from the end of the filter to the intake manifold) is substantially shorter. The two beneficiaries of the taking, threatening voice when under acceleration and to provide aesthetically pleasing alternative to the stock air. air intake is made of aluminum and is usually accompanied by a clean filter. They offered to be a direct bolt-on applications and can be installed by even novice tuner.

Although people like k & n air gets cold, there are many options available. Intake done differently to make different make and model, but several colors and styles are available depending on your preferences, color schemes and overall performance objectives. Our recruitment has carefully built with quality materials to ensure that there is no heat and no air aral cold out on the road to the intake manifold. Take a look around the store to find the appropriate set for your application.
