Well we are almost half way through 2008 already, it’s been a busy few months for everyone here with our new website launch, new product lines and just creating a whole new experience for our customers and I bet it’s been pretty crazy for you too.
I’d like to take a moment and just find out what is going on inside YOUR life, what problems and challenges you are trying to overcome and maybe with a little magic and some help from our faculty we can help you accomplish your goals for finishing off the second half of 2008.
No seriously… I really want to hear from you, even if it is not automotive related, believe it or not, we are people too, and we get where you are coming from. You would be surprised at some of the other businesses we run and the many ways we can actually relate to you and possibly even help you, and since we all already know we have one thing in common, a “need for speed” if you will… I bet there are hundreds of other things.
So leave a comment below, you don’t even need to create an account or use your real name or email address. Tell me if there is anything you would like to see from us in the future, any challenges you face in building up your car, or just in your general life.
Maybe you have a certain problem when detailing you car, or something that is limiting your potential to be more successful at your job or in your personal life… Tell us about it.
A common theme that we go by here at Genuine Performance is “We are not in the automotive parts business selling to people, we are in the people business selling auto parts.”
So as a member of the “people business” I want to take this opportunity to hear from you, the people, about what problems and challenges you are facing in your life.
Performance parts for the new Mitsubishi Evolution 10 are starting to roll of the assembly line. Greddy announced the release of their Ti-C exhaust line for the EVO X. This single exhaust exits outs of the right side of the EVO with their signature burnt blue exhaust tip.
GReddy Racing Ti-C Cat-back Exhausts combine the design, looks and flow of our Full Racing Titanium systems with the durability, deep sound, value and large application list of our other Stainless Steel street systems. This fusion of aggressive styling and practical construction, makes this the logical choice for both Race and Street Enthusiasts. The systems are comprised of a Titanium heat-treated tip, polished stainless steel muffler, unpolished stainless steel piping. It improves high and mid-range performance while still allowing for suitable sound levels when used with the included tuned Tri-mounted Silencer*. *Most applications below 92db, with all under 94db. The large list of applications include 80mm piping for Turbo applications and 50-60-70mm for Normally Aspirated vehicles. (usually 60mm)
If you’re looking for a unique touch to set your car apart this limited edition HKS Super SQV black blow off valve may be just what you are looking for.
HKS has just released a new limited edition BLACK HKS super SQV blow off valve.
HKS Super SQV (Super Sequential Blow Off Valve) uses a unique sequential valve structure and a differential pressure control system, which allows for a broad operation range from low boost to high boost.
It looks like this limited edition black Super SQV is the same great blow off valve that HKS has been manufacturing for some time now with a nice matte black makeover.
Starting this weekend, Abarth, Fiat’s tuning workshop will be releasing two new performance kits for the Grand Punto Abrath, the Assetto and the essesse kits. From what we have seen so far it looks the Assetto kit is more of a handling upgrade kit rather than a performance upgrade. It will include upgraded cross-drilled brake rotors for both the front and rear and upgraded brake pads, along with high-performance coil springs that drop the suspension 15+mm. The Assetto kit will also include 18″ white alloy wheels with 215/50-ZR18 Pirelli PZero tires.
Now if you are looking for some horsepower gains the essesse kit (pronounced SS), is for you. This kit will also include a bigger Garrett turbo, dual exhaust with chrome tips, an ECU reflash and a BMC carbon dynamic induction kit. Abarth is claiming an additional 25 horsepower gain from this kit.
You probably won’t be seeing this kit in the U.S. anytime soon, but then again, you probably don’t see very many Fiat Abarth’s around. These kits are set to hit the market first in Italy for €2,500 for the Assetto and €4,500 for the essesse kit.
It looks like Abarth wanted to give even a little more to tuners and around the same time they will be launching their new high performance driving school which will be headed by former rally star Sandro Munari.
With summer just around the corner you are probably making sure you have your car in the best possible shape.
