Formula Drift Rd. 5 After Dark Results

Posted on by

This past Thursday night I was able to take a trip out to Vegas for Round 5 of the Formula Drift series.  As much as I love the sport of drifting, the smell of burning tires and the sound of V8’s, Turbocharged and Rotary vehicles around the track,  It was HOT at this event!

Coilovers for 1st Gen Integra & CR-X / 3rd Gen Civic

Posted on by

TEIN Authorized dealer Heeltoe Automotive specializes in Honda/ Acura tuning and asked TEIN to produce a coilover kit for the ’84-87 Honda CRX/ Civic and ’86-89 Acura Integra. The result is called the Medieval Pro Coilover Kit exclusively sold by HeelToe.

All product development was performed in our HQ in Downey CA and the kit is manufactured in our Yokohama Japan factory.

The kit has features similar to our Super Street coilovers. 16-way damping force adjustability with a ride height adjustable rear. The front suspension retains the standard torsion beam from Honda. Heeltoe allows customers to pick the TEIN rear spring rate and also offers different diameter torsion beams for the front.


Additional stock of these limited edition coilovers is now available through HeelToe. Please visit Heeltoe’s website at, www.heeltoeauto.com for additional technical information or to place an order.

Garage Sale Lists are Up

Posted on by

The Garage Sale lists are up. Each of the three companies have their own set of conditions in regards to the sale. Please read those carefully.

TEIN

After compiling the TEIN list, it ended up being huge. There are lots of great deals on coilovers, lowering springs, DEFI gauges, Fujitsubo exhausts, ATI meter pods …. Come early as I am sure the popular applications will go quick. Some coilovers are marked down as much as 40% off MSRP. There is no way you can find better pricing on a NEW kit anywhere else.

CARBONETIC

For all those people looking for Clutches and LSDs from Carbonetic. A revised list of Garage Sale products will be posted Monday night which will include LSDs. The current list only shows their clutches.

A few of the TEIN cars have used the Carbonetic products and they are awesome. My personal EVO 9 has the Carbon Twin Disc, Carbon Front Differential and Carbon Rear Differential. All three have worked flawlessly for the past 3 yrs. My car is street driven on a weekly basis and sees about 5 track weekends per year. Anyone who has ever driven my car is surprised at how good the clutch pedal feel is – smooth and just a little heavier than stock.The LSDs work great and are a must for any serious car especially Drift and Circuit vehicles. Carbonetic will be selling LSDs and Clutch kits for up to 50% off. Great deals just in time for track season.

MACKIN INDUSTRIES

Everyone knows that Rays wheels are some of the best on the planet. TEIN USA has been using various model Rays wheels on our demo and track vehicles for years. They are light, strong, durable, look great and come in a WIDE variety of sizes including aggressive offsets. Mackin’s sale list contains many RE30 and CE28 models which are Forged Mono Block wheels. Listed for up to 50% off – doesn’t get any better. The exclusive US distributor for RAYS wheels is Mackin Industries who also provides ARC, Yokohama Wheels, Project Mu, Project Kics, and MXP to the US market.

Check back on this blog next Friday to see a sneak peak at the sheer volume of products for sale and a few snaps of the used items which are not listed.
