Fabbing Up Edwin's S2K Roll Bar for NCRC

Edwin came to us with a specific request on how he wanted his roll bar built for the Northern California Racing Club (NCRC) organization. NCRC are advocates of well maintained cars and safe racing. They perform a "broomstick test" to determine if the factory roll protection is safe enough during a roll over.

Customer Cars: Ken's S2000

Like many people Ken wasn't happy with the stock ride height on his S2000. He was looking for a one inch drop so we installed KW V3's, dropped it an inch and corner balanced his suspension. We also mounted his hot new Advan RG-D wheels. His car not only looks great, it'll handle much better than stock. Thanks again Ken!

Here are a few more progress pictures of David's Twincharged MR2.  Enjoy!
Lots and lots of piping. To try to explain how this system works, we'd have to sit you down and start drawing  turbos, supercharges, piping galore and stick figures and happy faces.

The Little AW11 That Could.....could be TWINCHARGED!

David came to us with a challenging task: Twincharge his AW11 MR2 with the goal of reaching 350whp and build the broadest power curve out of a 1.6L 4AGZE...EVER. We're required to keep it sleeper as well. This project is still in the testing phases but we wanted to show you the progress it's been through since its inception.


It started with:
Stage 1 Engine Build, Supercharger Rebuild and Hondata Engine Management System Conversion
Stage 2 Full Polyurethane Suspension Upgrade, Custom Coilovers, Wheels and Swaybars
Stage 3 Custom Turbo Build
Stage 4 Twin Charge Conversion + PLX 12 Gauge Install...yes it logs 12 sensors in addition to the factory HONDA sensors.
Stage 5 Test and Tune - testing features of compounding boost, turning on/of the supercharger, running SC only, running turbo only, testing different turbo boost levels.
Stage 6 more final touches to come afterward...


The number of modifications on this car are too long to list. We'll have pics up in a few weeks. In the meantime, here's a quick and dirty video. We hope you enjoy and Stay Tuned with BlackTrax!
