Founded in 1977, the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood has been a driver favorite since its inception. Sweeping turns and fast straights make this one of the fastest rallies on the calendar. Commitment and confidence are key. One of the most important places to commit? The rally’s famous cattle guard jump that sees cars fly over 100 feet. 2021 marks the 26th running of this historic event, and the events second as a part of the American Rally Association National Championship Series. Ken Block has won here 7 times, that’s 7 wins in 8 starts, an 87.5% win rate. (Description courtesy of https://www.americanrallyassociation.org/100aw)

Unedited and uncut, start to finish video, on how to LS swap a Porsche 944.
The Porsche 944 is a sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche from 1982 to 1991. A front-engine, rear-wheel drive mid-level model based on the 924 platform, the 944 was available in coupé or cabriolet body styles, with either naturally aspirated or turbocharged engines.

The LS based small-block engine is the primary V-8 used in General Motors’ line of rear-wheel-drive cars and trucks. Introduced in January 1995, it is a “clean sheet” design with only rod bearings, lifters, and bore spacing in common with the longstanding Chevrolet small block V8 that preceded it as the basis for GM small-block V8s. The basic LS variations use cast iron blocks, while performance editions are all aluminium with cast iron cylinder liners. The LS small-block has been manufactured in three Generations – III, IV, and V – with preceding Generations I and II of modular GM small-block engines having been based on the Chevrolet small-block V8 originally designed in 1955. GM recycled the “LT” designation beginning with the LS Generation V “LT1” in 2014. (Description courtesy of Wikipedia)

Today we are joined by Brandon and Chris from the E36 Mafia drift team, who spent a solid hour trying to teach me how to weld. Aside from setting the strut tower on fire, everything went pretty well. Considering this is only the third time I have ever welded in my life, I am very happy with how the front strut reinforcement plate come together. What I am not happy with, is the sound quality and motion tracking of the 360 video camera. Oh well, racecar is racecar. Stay tuned for more videos!

The rear suspension on the Porsche 944 is an aluminum trailing arm with a torsion bar and gas shock. If you try to off-road with this, you will snap the torsion bar, blow out the shock, and destroy your CV axles. This video series will guide you through the process of upgrading your rear suspension into an off-road racing beast.
Step by step DIY installation guide for the new Fabspeed Lightweight Competition Exhaust System and GPF Delete Pipes, on a 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4.
Porsche bolts a 4.0-liter flat-six with a manual transmission into the new 2020 Cayman GT4 and in doing so fixes the few things we didn’t love about the Cayman. So, when you hear the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4’s naturally aspirated flat-six howling toward 8000 rpm, you find yourself taking a deep, refreshing breath. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up, goose bumps trickle down your spine, and thanks to the dynamic powertrain mounts that firm up when the car is pushed, the frenetic vibrations of the 4.0-liter behind your back course through the car. This thing around you feels alive. (Description courtesy of Car & Driver)
The Porsche Cayman is a mid-engine two-seater sports car manufactured and marketed by German automobile manufacturer Porsche across four generations — as a 2-seater fastback coupé. First launched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coupé derived from Porsche’s second and third generation Boxster roadster, styled in its first iteration by Pinky Lai. All Caymans were manufactured in Finland by Valmet Automotive. As Volkswagen assumed control of Porsche AG, production of Caymans and Boxsters after 2012 began in the former Karmann plant in Osnabrück, Germany, at the time owned by Volkswagen and also used for production of the 2012 Golf (Mk6) convertible.
