Cars Blog: Ford Focus RS500

Ford has introduced the new Ford Focus RS500 which will debut at the Leipzig Motor Show on April 9th. it'll also be limited to a run of just 500 cars.


The car gives power of 350PS and 460 Nm of torque from the same 2.5 litre turbo charged 5 cylender engine. The increase in power was achieved by using a larger intercooler, uprated air filter, a larger diameter downpipe, an uprated fuel pump and a remap to take advantage of the new parts. These numbers deliver a 0-60 in less than 6 seconds and a top speed of 164MPH.

If you saw one of these beasts in the street you'll know them with their 19-inch wheels and serialized one-of-500 dashboard plaques, and at least judging by the pictures above, their matt black paint with some splashes of red colour are provided like the red calipers, red 500 badging and blue RS badging.

The interior is finished with red detailing a contrast to the blue provided on the standard RS Focus. like the red Recaro sport seats that is finished in leather, The carbon fiber finish in the center console and a unique plaque stating the cars model number.

To ensure the strength of these upgrades, the car has been subjected to a series of tests which have focused on the car's track capabilities. The tests included a massive stint at the Nordschleife, where Ford had three of their own racing drivers and a team of engineers complete a whopping 10,000KM non-stop of driving the Green Hell. After 500 laps, Ford were happy enough with the car and were confident that an eight minute laptime is within reach of the car.

Random Snap: Subaru impreza WRX 2011

This is the picture of the 2011 subaru impreza WRX that will debut in New York auto saloon next month. the new car is getting an exterior makeover to match it's performance. it has a new wide body look which puts the standard WRX much more in line with the STI, and the wide body work makes an dramatic difference on the four-door sedan version. these improvements make us expect more form the 2011 WRX..

Random snap:hyundai elantra

Hello everybody. this is Marawan el kelany's hyundai elantra. it does need alot of work from outside but from inside it's totally different. the car is modified with HKS high power full exhaust and K&N air filter air intake,NGK iridium spark plugs and one up sport spark plug wire kit made in USA. it also has a HKS oil cooler as u see in the above picture and finally the headers. it's small modifications but really makes the elantra looks better. Enjoy;)

Jad Nabas's Trueno

Back again from Jordan. this is an AE86 trueno which belong to Jad Nabbas, sadly their is no information about this car but am looking forward to talk about it in details as soon as i get any information about it. the most exciting thing in this car that it reminds me with the Hot Version levin n2 racecar as you see in the above picture and that's all i know about the car :D anyway wait 4 the full post ;)

TOP Ten AE86 PT.2

I am going to continue the story of the ten AE86's that influenced a generation. in pt.1 we finished the post with the hot version levin n2 racecar. now let's begin with the



Koichi Yamashita's Run Free Trueno
A simple aero kit manufacturer's car which is one of the most influential AE86's around the world. it's Koichi Yamashita, a former D1 legend, owns the ever popular Run Free specialist AE86 shop; suppliers of the finest in Japanese AE86 ­bodykits. Run Free kits are sought after by ‘86 tuners the world over who are looking for the best there is to offer but why? Out of all the Japanese AE86 bodykit manufacturers. In its inception in early 2000's, the car was widely considered to be the ‘perfect AE86' Although it's not the world's most powerful Trueno, Koichi's AE86 is finely honed and crafted in such a way nothing is left untouched.
As you can imagine it was laden with his own Run Free branded bodykit parts and some of the widest Work Meister wheels you'll ever see on an AE86. But its not only cosmetics that Yoichi had made-over, under the carbon hood lies a AE92 4A-GE that's rocking Mahle pistons, H-Beam rods, 304/288 degree camshafts and Group-A spec valves. Couple with that a TRD intake manifold, K-works exmani, a RunFree stainless exhaust, twin-row radiator and an Earls oil cooler. Pretty standard affair when you compare it with the others on this list, but therein lies the key. It was the definition of ‘clean street car' for everyone at the time and as such firmly implanted itself as the benchmark for anyone building a street driven AE86. To this day it still is.







Gabriel Tyler's F20C Corolla GT-S
This was the car that brought the F20C engine transplant to the masses. Techno Toy Tuning (T3) have be providing parts for Corolla's and 4A-GEs the world over for number of years and every decent tuning company needs a demo or hero car.
Almost everyone has used or seen a T3 part on their Corolla or AE86 for the last 10 years and it's thanks to T3 owner Gabriel Tyler that we see these cheap and readily available parts nearly everywhere. Like most of us, Gabe has grown up to love the classic simplicity of the humble AE86. It's through his love for the AE86 he created this Honda hybrid monster!
Enter the simple white Trueno. Gabe had the not so simple idea of Taking Honda's best engineered NA engine and putting it in a much lighter and balanced chassis and so the F20C conversion was born and delivered to the world.
T3 fitted the engine and 6 speed gearbox to the pristine white body, which in itself is no mean feat as the Honda engine intake and exhaust are on the opposite side to the factory fitted 4A-GE. Along with T3's full suspension catalogue fitted to the car and various other parts this Trueno has competed in drift and circuit racing and even been driven on the Willow Springs Touge by Keiichi Tsuchiya himself.
The Trueno is fitted with a fat set of Work Equip 03's, over fenders, roll cage and stripped interior so it's natural this car oozes so much presence and style. The car has sat dormant for a while now, only coming out occasionally to the track mainly used as a demo car at the T3 factory, it may be some time before we see something as innovative and awe inspiring again from Gabe.
All this popularity has spawned a number of copies. In the US this is a very popular conversion due to the power of the F20C and the fact the steering, pedals and master cylinders being located on the opposite side of the engine bay compared to the rest of the world, making the whole swap a lot easier. This combined with an extremely light weight body it makes for one helluva ride.
Recently, a workshop by the name of JSP fabrications completed the F20C conversion with a GT30 turbo for added good measure. The car is set up for drift, but as yet has not shown the world what it's capable of, yet another envelope pusher in the crazy world of AE86 tuning.







Keiichi Tsuchiya's Trueno GT-V
The most beautiful AE86 in the list. Lovingly restored a number of years ago in the early 90's as over time it had surrendered to the usual AE86 headaches such as rust, chassis damage, and usual wear and tear.
Tsuchiya had his car rebuilt at Garage Motore in Kawagoe City, Saitama starting with removing all rust and giving it a full respray of Toyota Super White II in the now popular ‘Keiichi' style; white topped bumpers with white sideskirts.
Whilst the car was in pieces the body was seam welded and had a number of braces fitted such as front fender brace that sit under the front guards and smaller metal panels to prevent water sitting on certain parts of the metalwork. All the guards were hand flared to fit the 15 x 7-inch SSR Dori2 mesh wheels. The fitment of a zenki lip to the standard kouki bumper in such a way has come to be known as ‘the Keiichi' method. The interior is also all brand new and a new set of TRD reclinable buckets was fitted.
This car's suspension was set up using Tsuchiya's intimate knowledge of AE86s while using Tsuchiya's own brand of coil over's, the then Kei Office brand. Now branded DG5, the coilovers were coupled with a vast number of Cusco suspension components to build an entirely customised AE86 suspension package.
The engine is a ‘Blacktop' AE111 20 valve. Originally it was only a standard engine using a set of cams and custom extractors with management via an E&E Freedom ECU. However, as part of the total rebuild of this car, Sakurai-san built Tsuchiya a brand new engine from the ground up consisting of hi-comp pistons, larger cams, and a secret Sakurai-Spec cylinder head. Again the E&E Freedom ECU was used and all the mechanical work was completed with the assistance of Yasunobu Ishihara at Motore. The new engine apparently makes about 180hp, but this is a fairly conservative estimate when you consider the amount of work that has gone into this engine.
Previously using a TRD 5 gear (1st-5th) gear set and 5.3 differential ratio, they were swapped out for a TRD 3 gear (1st-3rd) gear set and 4.7 differential ratio. Doing this swap at first seemed to make the car slower, but it actually made it a more drivable car in all situations as Tsuchiya adapted to the new mechanical set up.
This car is said to be the scourge of the Gunsai touge but is not unbeatable. Tsuchiya's Trueno has appeared in many circuit and touge battles for Best Motoring and Hot Version, Taking on all comers. Most notably, Tsuchiya has twice Taken on a R34 skyline GT-R and won both times; Once on the touge and once on the circuit.
Pitted against all sorts of varied machinery on the track including many other AE86's from varying workshops, this Trueno and its driver have both triumphed and bowed out gracefully. When it was beaten on the touge by a JWRC Swift and a B18C equipped EG Civic (SEEKER Honda), it was the distinct lack of power that turned out to be the Trueno's only weakness.
Tsuchiya's philosophy of balance over outright power has many times embarrassed more powerful cars with its cornering balance, nimbleness and neutral handling ability. It may not be the fastest car in a straight line but add a few corners to the mix and watch out!






80's Group-A Levins
In the late 80's to the early 90's, Mount Panorama reverberated with banshee howl of twin cams and 16 valves! Having Taken on Japan and won while famously driven by up-and-coming race driver Keiichi Tsuchiya, the venerable AE86 branched out to take on the Group-A world. These few cars are famous in Australia not only for dominating their class for 3 years, but also for being in the Guinness book of world records; The car racked up 28 wins from 28 starts and nearly 80 podium finishes putting it as the most successful race car in history!
Just to rub salt into the wounds, it held the under 2 litre class record for every track in every state. How many other manufacturers can boast that?!
The fleet of racers used Bilstein suspension, TRD close ratio gearboxes and heavily worked ‘Bigport' 4A engines. It was said they made around 160hp at the rear wheels, but that can neither be confirmed nor denied even until this day as Toyota Japan and Europe kept the vehicle details very close to their chests.
As lot of specs of the car are closely guarded and as the car was initially built in Japan then shipped, it's hard to track down exact information pertaining to the Toyota works cars, as the engineers have passed away or it has been lost over time. A number of the European race cars still exist and are still being raced today. Granted they are using more high tech items instead of the crude ECU's available at the time.
The Australian winning car is now located in Bathurst at the Motor Sport Museum on Mount Panorama along with many other Bathurst race cars. The car itself looks like it finished the final race and was washed, polished and taken straight to the museum and there it has sat since. One lucky owner in Ireland still has an untested and unraced privateer car that he is restoring back to its former privateer glory including original livery!
Tetsuya Hibino's 4A-Powered Levin Coupe
Like many of the drivers in the D1GP he is the owner of his own tuning shop called SunRise and as such works on his car himself. Hibino is quite a popular driver as he is one of best drivers of the Toyota AE86 chassis in the D1GP today.
He began competing in the D1 Grand Prix in the sixth round in 2002, though he did not get any recognition until round 3 of 2004 when seemingly out of nowhere, he defeated many well know names such as 2004 season winner Ryuji Miki, Kazama, Imamura and even smoke master Ken Nomura. He is also known for his now infamous Ebisu Jumping Drift, which he first showed at Ebisu Circuit in 2004, where he drift to such a limit the car becomes airborne mid corner jumping the ripple strip.
When Hibino first started out he had no idea about how to drift. In fact, when he bought his first AE86 he didn't even know it didn't come with an LSD! But through his friends and people he hung out with he quickly learned what the strong and weak points of the AE86 chassis are. It was through this knowledge that he transformed his AE86 into the car we see now. Hibino's does all car set up himself by relaying any information and changes that need to be done on the track to his mechanics.
Like Ueo, Hibino had always driven the AE86 since he began drifting and with the combination of its light weight and his aggressive driving style made him a formidable opponent. His Levin coupe is instantly recognisable in its creamy brown colour with its uniquely modified front guards. Although Hibino is yet to win a round yet he has come a close second on a few occasions, proving he has got what it takes to be number one someday.
Which one is your favorite? Or do you think that none of these cars should be on this list?

UEO KATSUHIRO'S Drift

this extreme drift for ueo katsuhiro AE86 which we were talking about in our last post enjoy ;)

Top Ten AE86 Pt.1

I was always thinking about posting an article of the best top 10 AE86 in the world and at last i found it. as we were talking about Yazan's AE86 i decided to a make this blogger post which will be divided into 2 parts. so let's begin with the first top 5 AE86

Takumi Fujiwara's Trueno GT Apex

This car boosted the AE86's popularity so much.The basic story centers around Takumi Fujiwara, who delivers tofu up and down Mt Akina (Mount Haruna) for his father's Tofu shop. the story of initial D TV show which made people spend alot of money on this TV show, comic series in order to know how to build their own AE86 like Takumi did. No information is ever officially given about the new engine; all we do know is that it is a heavily worked 20V Group-A engine. which made Takumi can no longer drive the car as it does not feel the same, and no longer can control the car.

TEC-ART'S All-Purpose Twin Truenos

Everybody who has watched D1gp or has seen any of the N2 races will know these cars, after all they're bright purple! Sporting white 17" Work Meister wheels and the angry scream of a 4A-GE 20V, this car has only been on the drift scene for the last few years, but has been built to an extremely high standard due to TEC-ART'S racing pedigree. TEC-ART'S is a major workshop in its own right, building all sorts of cars, but is more famously known for their AE86 tuning. TEC-ART'S covers all facets of AE86 tuning, from simple parts to full on engine builds. The car runs 17" wheels, which is uncommon for an AE86, sequential gearbox, 4 pot brake kit just been released from TEC-ART'S, they also make their own body kits.

TEC-ART'S also regularly competes in the AE86 N2 races with another nearly-identical purple Trueno. Although TEC-ART'S is yet to win an N2 race or drift round with the purple monsters, it certainly has the right parts and know-how to win.

Ueo Katsuhiro's SIFT Trueno

You can see this guy's video on Youtube throwing his car sideways into all sorts of corners and toppling the world's past drifting giants with a modestly powered D1 machine. Every time Ueo went out to the track it was a always seemed to end up a David vs Goliath battle. The small capacity NA 4A-GE up against much bigger and badder competition such as the HKS S15 driven by Taniguchi, the then newly completed FD3S RX7 of Imamura and of course the lime green S15 of Kazama.Most of the D1 stars started out on their local touge, and progressed on to bigger and better things, often bigger and more powerful cars. Starting his drift career fairly late in his 20's Ueo soon rose to fame with his balls to the wall all out approach to drifting but at the time wanted to stay with the AE86 to prove its equal stature to the newer and more powerful cars..

The most memorable moment for the car and Ueo would have to be in 2003 at Irwindale Speedway where the extremely long sweeping corners are banked high and steep. With his secret cams and crazy NA tuning and wild driving style, this humble Trueno took on the best and won. After this event Ueo came back to Japan only to have mechanical issues throughout the entire 2003 season, eventually dropping out in 2004. .

Carland's AE86

Carland might not be the most recognised name in the AE86 racing world, but their cars will no doubt be remembered long after the big names have gone from the circuit. They have built a 100% replica of the Initial-D Trueno for Shinichirou Miki (the voice actor of Takumi in the Japanese anime), restored a Black Limited Trueno to absolutely mint condition and even built their own racing car.With all that plus more under their belt, Carland is truly at the forefront of true AE86 enthusiast restoration.Carland offers services such as the usual new/used parts sales, car sales and body restoration work but as a special feature they offer a tourist hire car to explore the mountain roads around Kyoto. Although it's equipped with only an automatic transmission (how many of you can say you've driven an AT AE86 anyhow?), driving a panda Trueno around Kyoto would certainly give your sightseeing tour of Japan that special hachiroku touch.
With all this to offer '86 enthusiasts plus a lot more, Carland is pretty much THE one-stop '86 shop. They produce their own parts like exhaust systems and suspension kits for example, but also their own 'Original Goods' such as the panda two-tone bag and tool wrap, or a carland towel and amongst lots of other cool goodies, Trueno or Levin 'side moulding' keyrings, written in the original fonts!
The man behind all the AE86 dedication is Tokuchi Masahito, often seen in his trademark silver spray jacket in the Toyota Levin and Trueno Magazine mook. He is the driving force behind keeping our little AE86's looking and driving as good as they did when they rolled off the line in the 80's. Keep ‘em coming Masa!

Hot Version Levin N2 Racer

The living personification of what every racing AE86 aspires to be: 1.6 Liter 16 valves, 9500rpm, wide-bodied screaming fury, belting around Tsukuba race track in the 1:00 minute range. The Hot Version N2 Racer has been seen in Hot Version, Best Motoring, and AE86 Club DVD's and countless magazines. The build-up has been documented a number of times but no secrets revealed just yet. In terms of AE86 one make racing, this truly is the best of the best.
The racing and rebuilding started in mid 2001when the original car was lovingly created by the late Sakurai-san of TRD fame and expertly piloted by Keiichi Tsuchiya. This was about the time that Best Motoring started sponsoring the bi-annual N2 races again as previously it was kept alive by a dedicated number of privateers and enthusiasts from as far back as 1997.
The body features the original N2 over fenders and wears incredibly wide 15" RS Watanabe wheels.The car has won two N2 races for Hot Version and spawned quite a few clones the world over, including HR's very own from forum member AE86N2 (aka Beau Small).
Sakurai-san had put his many years of racing knowledge into this car in the aim of completely dominating the race track and taking on all comers. However, the car did not simply come out of retirement, hit the track and start winning.
It took a long time to completely reset and set up the car for racing again. Almost all the components on the car have been rebuilt or replaced with new, or new old stock items. The only original part that remains on the car is the chassis-subframe assembly itself and the hottest of hot, ultra-rare TRD instrument panel.
Being such a well-versed team in terms of racing pedigree, you would expect them to be the team to beat, but this is not so. The car utilises a vast number of parts from the TRD catalogue, including an AE86-spec 'bigport' 4A-GE engine built to Group-A specifications and a TRD close ratio gearbox fitted to a humble T-series rear differential. The suspension was set-up during early testing at Tsukuba by Tsuchiya himself and again using parts straight off the TRD shelves.
The TRD-powered machine may have won two titles since their debut in 2001 but they were not back-to-back. Their first win was in 2001, with their second coming in 2005. Since the re-invigoration of the N2 series, all other titles have been won, oddly enough, by much smaller and very dedicated teams and privateers.

2010 Toyota Mark X G-sports concept

The japanese automaker Toyota unveiled the 2010 Toyota Mark X G-sports concept at the 2010 TAS. Like other creations from G sports, the highly modified Mark X comes complete with a sport tuned suspension, aggressive looking aero parts and a racing inspired interior. The exterior of the tuned Mark X is dressed up with a few trick items like a new vented hood, big mouth front bumper with strips of LEDs and intricate air ducting, IS-F style vented front fenders with matching elements in the back bumper along with an integrated rear diffuser that frames the true dual exhaust as well as a carbon fiber roof panel up top and a set of 20 inch Work alloys wrapped in sticky Yohokama Advan rubber housing a ridiculously over sized big brake kit.

The interior of the Mark X G Sports Concept is all business. The driver straps into a Recaro racing bucket and grabs hold of a leather wrapped multifunction steering wheel with red accent stitching and a few well placed Alcantara inserts. The gauges are bright and easy to read, while the center stack is dominated by a large LCD multifunction display and is surrounded by quite a bit of carbon fiber. The floor mats carry the red accent theme while a set of aluminum racing pedals put the driver in direct contact with the controls. The G Sports Concept is powered by a 3.5 Liter V6 developing a total of 313 HP and 280 lb-ft of torque coupled to a paddle shifted six speed automatic transmission sending power straight to the rear wheels.
