Inside Performance: Replace your SXs wheel bearingsInside Performance: Replace your SXs wheel bearings

Not only our tires, brake pads, clutches and manifold gaskets suffer from constant use and abuse on the racetrack. We must never forget to check on our wheel suspension parts from time to time, although we tend to think, that these things should last a car’s lifetime.

Inside Performance: 7ageInside Performance: 7age

After owning an AE86 for a long time and enjoying the car to the fullest, I had the chance to ride with Bobs orange monster. His Ae86 had overgone several transformations including a mildly tuned 4age 16V to a semi built 20V with 190bhp. But nothing lasted in the car for too long. Finally, a 7age 1.8l found its place in Bob’s car! The 7age is a hybrid engine build with a 7afe Celica/Carina bottom end and a 4age 16V head. The big advantage is more torque throughout the rpm band.

Inside Performance – AerodynamicsInside Performance – Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics might not be a region we „ordinary“ petrolheads spend too much thought on, mostly just putting a big wing, side skirts and a front lip on our car (or removing the same thing, depending on your taste) to make it look better and meaner. But still, it might be good to have a basic understanding of what you’re doing to your car, even more so if you spend hours deciding which tires, oils, pistons etc. you should use to get maximum performance, meaning ruining the gained performance by unfortunate body parts would be a shame. I will try to keep the simplified theoretical ramblings short and mainly show a few nice pictures that show what happens where. 😉

This week we are talking about making your car light! Yeah, most of us already realized that a modern heavy car, can’t compete with the lightweight rockets from the past.
