ATLANTA, MI (ACP Racing) — Defending North American rally champion Andrew “ACP” Comrie-Picard earned some strong early-season points with a fourth-place finish at the icy U.S. season opener this weekend in northern Michigan.

The NOS Energy-backed rally team of ACP and co-driver Jeremy Wimpey took a cautious approach to the start of the contest in some of the most challenging conditions ever seen in U.S. rally competition.

“It was like a luge course out there,” said Comrie-Picard. “The first few stages were the iciest I have ever seen… and the rally just got icier from there.”

The AMS Piston Ring Squaring Tool is a must for anyone building or replacing a motor that requires file fitting the piston rings. To insure proper measurements, you must set your ring squarely inside the bore. The problem with doing this by hand is you can never insure that the ring is properly square which can lead to improper measurements. The AMS Piston Ring Squaring Tool takes all your worries away! Due to the stepped edge of the AMS tool, you can rest assured that the rings will be square to the cylinder bore and you will get a precise measurement every time. This black anodized double sided tool will fit a number of engines. One side will fit 85mm to 87mm and the second side will fit 87.5mm to 88mm. This should easily cover any 4G63, 4G64, or 4B11 motor out there!

AMS 2007 BMW 335i

This is 2007 BMW 335i 6 speed car used for prototype and part development here at AMS. This car was purchased to develop high quality and reliable parts for the 335i community. If you are looking for a fun car that makes close to 500hp on pump gas then this is your car. All modifications were done with reliability and drivability in mind. This was our sales managers personal form of transportation and it served him very well. Now that we have put in countless hours of development and time it is now time to let the car go to a new home to make room for new projects.

I have seen a lot of turbo kits in my day but I think this one is officially the coolest kit ever! These heat shields look like something out of Transformers or TRON!

Below are some more updated pictures of the turbo kit with the prototype heat shields. The production shields will not have rivets and will be welded up. This is just a sample.
Also notice the very strong but OEM like integrated turbo support bracket.

Keep in mind the turbo is just a mock up turbo so you will not see any wheels in it

I love this kit!

Introducing our very own Hyundai Genesis shift knob. The design of our knob extends the length of the shifter which not only aids in shifting throw but also keeps the knob closer to the drivers hands while road racing. Also our shift knob is made of Delrin which will not only wear well but will not transfer heat as much as your typical aftermarket shift knob.

Features:

• Extended length aids in shifter throw
• Made of Delrin for improved grip and low heat transfer
• Available with or without the AMS logo

Kit Includes

• Shift Knob

Specifications

• Delrin material (Polyoxymethylene)

Applications:

• 2010 + Hyundai Genesis Coupe
• Any car with a M10×1.25 threaded shift knob

Weight:

• .434 Pounds / 197 Grams

The first thing we are addressing on the Hearse is the rear differential.  The stock 10 bolt rear end would not hold up to the torque of the new power plant combined with the weight of the Hearse no matter what components we could throw in it.  To avoid the expense and hassle of putting in a fancy 4 link suspension I opted to go with a bolt-in Ford 9 inch assembly from Moser Engineering.

Just as promised Drew finished up the plastic 3D prints of the new GT-R headers. Here they are installed on the car. The next step will involve installing the motor into the car along with our support brackets and custom manifold heat shields to check final fitment. If all works out then its time to cast!

Starting to get pretty exciting!
