Eventuri Carbon Fiber BMW Intakes are Here!

Eventuri has made a huge hit in the USA with their carbon fiber air intake kits for BMW models.  Their most popular kit is for the new BMW F8x M3 M4 cars featuring a full carbon fiber or colored kevlar induction system.  The Eventuri intake filter features a front inlet which the air passes through with its carbon fiber heat shielding.  Eventuri, obviously named after a Venturi, is a creative and proven way to improve air flow and performance to the vehicles engine.  These full OEM intake replacement kits feature everything you need for a direct installation.  Kits are available for the BMW F10 and E60 M5, E46 M3, as well as the Z4M.


A little fun fact for you, the Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe.  A tubular setup known as a Venturi tube or simply a venturi is the principle of how fluid flows through a length of pipe of varying diameter. To avoid undue drag, a Venturi tube typically has an entry cone of 30 degrees and an exit cone of 5 degrees.

WP Pro EX6 360 Clubsport Big Brakes Shown Off

WP Pro Brakes has some pretty amazing engineering for the big brake industry.  We recently showed off their new EX8 caliper here, but have these brand new photos of the EX6 360 clubsport kit now to share!  This is the same kit we are running on our Project Mercedes CLA45 that features the very unique carbon fiber cooling duct cover.  The kit also features the very unique saw blade style rotor which is a 2 piece floating design.  Similar to what is used in Grand Prix Street Bike racing, the saw blade rotor is extremely light weight and when combined with a race pad, gives unbeatable stopping power.  These calipers do come in standard colors or can be custom done in any finish.  Check out more of the WP Pro Big Brakes Here.

Volkswagen Golf R MK6 Tuning Box Delivers Big Gains

The Volkswagen Golf R MK6 has a very strong 2.0L turbocharged engine that puts out 270 bhp to its all wheel drive system.  This engine and turbocharger has a lot more to give and that is exactly what the VR Tuned Tuning Box Kit does.  The plug and play box taps into the throttle position sensor and the boost sensor to give the car 66 bhp more on 93 octane.  To prove the performance of this kit, we tested a car here on our Mustang All Wheel Drive Dyno.  Arizona gas is only 91 octane so we did expect close results just under the rating.  Typical drive train loss is around 20-25% as we test on our dynamometer.  Our baseline run on the 6speed manual car yielded 192 horsepower and 198 ft/lbs of torque.  Once we plugged in the very easy install tuning box, the car shot up to 235 horsepower and 238 ft/lbs of torque.  This is a very strong 40 horsepower gain which can definitely be felt in the 0-60 mph as well as mid to top end range.  Based on our drivetrain loss, this gives us almost 320 bhp from 270 bhp which is a nice increase.  Check out the dyno sheet, pictures, video below.  You can also view the installation instructions here.

Acura RSX with Work Wheels, Fortune Auto, APR, and More!

Our customer Melanie has a nice and clean Acura RSX with tasteful modifications.  The Front Wheel Drive machine can definitely benefit from some good suspension to help with the understeer that is common on these high revving engines.  A set of Fortune Auto Coilovers was added along with a set of SPC rear camber arms.  The highly engineered 500 Series coilovers feature new valving that provide 40% less drag in their shock seals.  The front coilovers include new camber plates while the rear use the stock mounts.  The front adjustable plates allow you to get maximum camber needed for best traction on the track.  The car sits nice on a set of JDM Work CR Ultimate Wheels which are square at 17×9 +28mm.  Attention to quality is recognized with these Michelin Pilot Sport Tires in a 245/40/17 to really hook up with the pavement.  Aero parts including the APR GTC-200 rear spoiler and performance parts from Skunk2 round out the mods.  Overall its a work in progress and a well fitted car.  We appreciate the Vivid Racing love too!

SmittyBilt Atlas Bumpers and G.E.A.R. Covers are Kinda of Badass!

The Smittybilt XRC Atlas front and rear bumpers are just one of the great products to come out of the Smittybilt R&D Department. These bumpers have gone through extensive design and testing to meet stringent international pedestrian safety standards. As a result, these bumpers are stylishly chiseled as well as being extremely strong and functional. The rear bumper utilizes a new cam-style pin adjustment for ensuring perfect gate stowing every time. Re-opening the gate requires minimal effort and the double latch will eliminate accidental opening. These bumpers offer impressive ground clearance and can accommodate up to 40″ tires.


One of their brand new products is the G.E.A.R. custom fit seat covers for the ultimate in off-road excursionist.  These are a great place to store first aid supplies, flashlights, matches, and other essentials for easy access in your Jeep Wrangler.  Crafted from 600 Denier ballistic nylon, the water resistant G.E.A.R. seat covers are fitted with zippered map pockets, MOLLE pouches, and webbing to lash even more gear to your Jeep.  Each front pair of covers includes five individual MOLLE/PALS pouches and each rear cover includes two MOLLE/PALS pouches.  Prices start at $199.99 for front or rear seats.

Agency Power Bolt-In Harness Bar for the FRS and BRZ!

Vivid Racing believes that Agency Power has hit an awesome hole in the market with this product. Most people are not ready for the commitment to cut up/drill into/weld on their pride and joy, but they are committed to improving their driving skills. There is no better way to get more feedback from your car than to be properly held in place. When you are not fighting your car by holding yourself in place, you have a better connection with the car, and therefore the road. With this Harness Bar, you are using factory mounting points without making any permanent modifications to your car.


This is a very simple installation, and can be completed in the same amount of time it takes to install an intake. The main hoop can even be left in place if you need to fold down your rear seats. The bar does not get in the way, and you can still slide your seat to the most rearward position. Kits are in stock but uncoated, standard black finish included in price. They will be powder coated to your choice of color and shipped out. Coating takes 5-7 business days, and then they will make the trip to you!


If you are ready to step up your driving skills, but not ready to turn your car into a full-blown race car, this is the perfect part for you!


Installation process can be seen here!


We also offer racing seats, harnesses, brackets and more from Status Racing, Recaro, Bride, Corbeau, Sabelt, Seibon, Schroth, Takata, and many, MANY more. I can get you setup with the perfect package!!
