One of our readers gave us a heads up on the most recent Cars and Coffee meetup which was posted in the NAGTROC forum. A large diversity of great cars showed up ranging from Porsches to muscle cars to a new GT-R. This purple Datsun 510 stood out in particular because you don’t see too many of these and second it has a swap. It appears to have a very clean SR20DET swap with probably some upgrades such as the Brembo brakes.
Check out all the rest of high quality photos over at...

Talk about a tight fit. This

It seems with all the sophisticated technology Lucius Fox had at his fingertips he still decided to use dependable American small block to power Bruce Wayne’s Tumbler. The movie required the vehicle to all the stunts so it had to do a 0-60 in 5 seconds, be able to do 100 mph, and light enough to be able to do 30 foot jumps. Because the car uses a tube chassis and carbon fiber panels it weights 5,000 pounds. All I could find was that the engine is a 5.7L small blocked. Doing some simple...
Tito Jones from American Touring Specialties just completed phase 1 on this 1968 Camaro. After destroying the original Powerglide transmission he swapped it with a T56 from a LT1 combo using ATS’ own kit. Also included was Sparco seats, 4 point roll cage, Detroit Speed & Engineering subframe connectors, upgraded rear suspension, upgraded front disk brakes from Baer, carbon fiber front and rear spoilers, and a Larry Callahan Pro-Touring gas cap.
Phase 2 includes a LS1 swap, vintage air,...

It was bound to happen but honestly I did not think it would happen this soon. Just as the first Veyron crash owner learned the very expensive way, people will always have accidents and some have it in supercars. The big question is will the owner get this fixed? I would think they will fork over the money for the repairs since these are such status symbols in California. I have no idea where the body panels will come from since Tesla Motors is backed up as it stands now trying to fulfill...
This is a 2003 
I ran across this old post and thought it was crazy enough to write about it. This Toyota MR2 has two GE T58 turboshafts. There seems to be a few things mixed up on this article. The writer says these are jet turbines but if they really are T58s then these are actually helicopter turboshafts. I also have no idea how this builder could get both of those to turn one shaft without totally ripping the thing in half. Each of these produce around 1,400 HP and you can do the simple math that two of...
Originally swapped with some bowtie power this 240Z already had some serious pull. But Robbie Ward’s 240Z was going to have the engine switched from a Chevy engine to a Nissan engine. Robbie got himself a RB30 block and mated it to a RB26 head. That added to a couple of HKS turbos and this car puts out around 1100 HP which is enough power to drag the the 1/4 mile in 8.71 seconds setting a new record. One of the greatest parts of this car is that fact he regularly drives it around on the...
While doing a little bit of searching I came across an old Jalopnik post about Bader Racing putting a 
Talk about a cram job. Fitting anything of decent HP into a Miata and you are in for some work but having a V12 layout and you are going to really have some work. It appears the firewall and hood was cut to make for engine clearance and to stick the weight more in the center of the car.

At this years YearOne Experience, Air Ride Technologies showed off their 1968 Velocity Camaro. The name is based off the paint which is Hot Hues Velocity Orange with bare metal stripes. The engine is a World Products Warhawk 427 LS engine putting out 614hp. It also comes with a complete Air Ride Street Challenge Suspension. The gears were being shifted using a Twist Machine electronic paddle shifter hooked up to a Bowler Transmissions 4L65e. The wheels are from CCW with a 18×8 in front and...

Titan Motorsports is known for their import drag cars. They work on all kinds of imports but have a lot of focus on Toyota models. Some examples of their incredible fast imports is a Supra that has done a 7.94 @ 181 mph, a Toyota Celica doing a 6.47 @ 217 and even a Scion tC has done a 6.488 @ 218.48 which won it the Sport Compact Championship for the third time in a row. So they know their way around a Toyota engine.
Titan recently published their progress on their Plymouth Prowler project...
Looking at this car it is hard to tell it is a 1987 
I did some searching and wasn’t able to find anymore information then I found in the Hemmings and Jalopnik articles. It is a Chevy Rat Rod with mostly 1939 parts with a 2.8L V6 from a 
Britishv8.org has published an article about a 1954 Austin-Healey owned by Martin Jansen with a 
HST International teamed up with Tjaarda Design to produce a Mustang that runs on pure electricity. The cars use a custom built DC Electric Motor System producing roughly 300 HP and 1000 ft/lbs of torque. One of the great benefits of electric motors is their torque which usually is ready at 0 rpm. The massive torque allows the car to do 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
The battery system is made by K2 Energy Solutions and uses lithium iron phosphate batteries. To keep a great weight balance the...
