New Performance Mitsubishi Evo 900X Fast Cars Modifications
The power for the Evo 900X circles around the 2.2 liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with Kelford cams and valve springs. The added turbo kit gets this engine ready for just about any paved road with an AMS boost control solenoid kit, an AMS front mount intercooler, AMS intercooler piping, a Tial QR blow off valve, and an AMS 3” racing series exhaust. The quick-spooling turbocharger allows the vehicle to "fire off 10 second passes at the drag strip" and provides "enough low end torque to corner exit with the best of them." All of these engine mods combined will get the customer 900 HP and a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds.
Next to the engine upgrade, the 900X package also includes a carbon fiber aerodynamic package, upgraded brakes, and an upgraded suspension.

Luxury Cars Nissan Ellure Concept
 Nissan has taken part in the Los Angeles Auto Show by bringing with them  a concept that will redefine Nissan’s sedan language. It may slither  its way into the background due to the extravagant and elaborate  concepts being shown as part of the Design Challenge, but this is one  concept that definitely deserves a second glance, maybe even a third.  Nissan says this is not a preview for any production model, but we do  expect to see plenty of features borrowed from this concept and put into  their future models.

Nissan says this is not a preview for any production model, but we do  expect to see plenty of features borrowed from this concept and put into  their future models. The Ellure’s exterior is defined by a deeply skirted front fascia and a  bold solid-transparent front grille with small openings, which direct  the wind over and under the body. The full underbody pan, molded side  rearview camera housings, and small wheel openings add to the design of  the vehicle while the 21-inch 5-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels complete the  look. The front grille was inspired by the “Kamishino” Samurai formal  coat.

The front grille was inspired by the “Kamishino” Samurai formal  coat. The interior of the Ellure plays off of the idea of light and dark with an instrument panel covered in chrome-free leather and front seats covered with a black eco-suede utilizing recycled fibers. Drawing one’s attention immediately is the “floating” center console with a sculptural, see-through effect. It is covered in white leather with red nighttime lighting shining through. The red lighting spreads to the all-glass ceiling where there is also special red mood lighting. A console-mounted central controller provides intuitive control for HVAC, audio, navigation and other functions.

The concept looks to be leaner and  meaner than the current Impreza and rides along with Subaru’s  Symmetrical All Wheel Drive.The exterior features a hexagonal grille with spread wings in the center and hawk eye-style headlights. The hood, grille, and headlights were designed to project three-dimensional character. The rear gets a garnish that radiates outward from the center, sharp-edged rear lights, and new taillamp.
 The interior is defined by a theme of "Dynamic, Enticing, Secure." The smooth integration of the instrument panel with the door trim and armrests suggests sporty yet comfortable driving. The roomy platinum-leather four-seat layout envelops occupants. Dark blue piping and double stitching accent the leather. A "layered" approach to color, with the upper part light platinum and the lower part a shade darker, gives the interior a feeling of spaciousness and sophistication.

2009 Nissan GT-R Sport Car Review
 GT-R was released as a trim level of the Skyline sedan in 1969. Briefly after that, the first GT-R coupe was introduced and produced until 1973. Sixteen years later, the GT-R was re-introduced into the Skyline lineup, known as the R32. The R32 featured the first application of a twin turbo inline-6 engine and a sophisticated AWD system. The R33 GT-R soon followed, becoming the first production car to break the 8-minute Nurburgring lap time. Since then, the GT-R has become a part of pop culture with a strong underground following, making appearances in the video game Gran-Turismo for Sony PS2 and in the movies, like the Fast and the Furious series. But this generation is different…this 2009 GT-R is NOT based on another model, like the previous four generations.

But this generation is different…this 2009 GT-R is NOT based on another model, like the previous four generations. The exterior’s aggressive styling gives a powerful, strong, muscular, and precise look to the GT-R. The HID headlights feature three additional sub-reflectors unlike conventional lights, to spread the light wide and low for cornering. The rear, of course, has the traditional GT-R four-ring LED taillights. The 20-inch “high luster smoke gray” forged aluminum wheels (9.5″ front, 10.5″ rear) with special bead knurling are the only wheel/tire option for now, due to the G forces that the GT-R is able to produce under extreme braking and accelerating conditions. Worried about getting door-dinged in the parking lot? The GT-R has durable chip-resistant paint with a double clear coat process.

Therefore, for these people, taking care of car is more important instead of using it all the time. To have more stylish cars, they usually get their cars done. On the other hand, they do what is called car modification.Car modification is a very fun thing to do. It has something to do with the personality of the owner, because usually the result of car modification represents how the personalities of the owners are. You are one the people who modification, you are certainly interested in installing and changing some of your car’s parts. If you like music, you can put audio tools, such as DVD players. You can also replace the headlights to be more stylists. To lead you better when you travel with your beloved car, you can put navigation tool such as GPS. Moreover, if you want to spend more money, what you can do is changing the color or the type of the car door. It would be awesome. However, if you do not have that much budget, you can just do small part of car modification.
Again, car modification work is not an easy thing to do. Accordingly, you need the expert that will help you to do this. You just need to call a car modification company and tell them what you want. They would tell you what they have, so you can figure out how much money you want to spend for the modification. You can also take a look at car modification companies on the internet. In their websites, they usually have the pictures or online live chat with the customer service. Once you can do this, you can show your new car off to your friends. You can now show your identity on your car.

Chevrolet Camaro Concept Car | Cars wallpaper Gallery
 We knew what we had to do. Get the first photo ever of a 2009 Camaro doing a burnout — or at least a car that’s a dead ringer for the 2009 Camaro doing a burnout. So there we were last July near the set of Transformers, cruising along the roads surrounding an old aircraft hangar in Playa Vista, California. We were driving “Bumblebee,” the Camaro that’s the star of this summer’s sure-to-be-blockbuster, looking for the perfect place to blaze the hides off its rear tires.

It’s amazing that we even got permission. “A burnout?” one Paramount Pictures publicity person asked us. “What’s that?” 
Driving a Transformer
After lots of assurances that it wouldn’t hurt their movie star except burn some rubber off the rear tires — and despite the agonizing trepidation of both the studio and General Motors — there we were cruising around Howard Hughes’ old digs and shooting photos, trying to find the sweet spot where the light would perfectly catch the blue-gray haze.
With filming taking place so far in advance of production of the 2009 Chevy Camaro, getting the new Camaro into Transformers took massive cooperation between Detroit and Hollywood. The result of this effort is one of the most impressive automotive movie props ever built — a fully functional, fiberglass-bodied replica of the concept car first shown at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. It looks just like the concept car, only it’s painted a better color and actually moves under its own power.
 This is a movie prop, so it in no way necessarily indicates how the production Camaro will drive. In fact it has more in common with the just-discontinued, Aussie-made Pontiac GTO because under all that plastic there is a GTO — pulled straight out of GM’s engineering R&D fleet. This feat is in itself nearly as impressive a feat of fabrication as any production car. And this car drives well. In fact it even did its own stunts.

This feat is in itself nearly as impressive a feat of fabrication as any production car. And this car drives well. In fact it even did its own stunts. Yeah, it’s fake. But this car and its identical twin (movie companies can’t wait around for a busted car to be fixed so there’s always at least one duplicate) are great fakes.
 Getting the Part
Getting the PartThere are a shockingly large number of Transformers enthusiasts out there. Weaned on the original Hasbro toys and several television cartoon series, plus comic books, these boys (and they have been virtually all boys) spent the 1980s obsessed with the battle pitting Bumblebee and the other Autobots against the evil Decepticons. Of course, every one of these Transformers geeks knows that the original Bumblebee was a Volkswagen Beetle. But the movie Bumblebee is — purists be damned — a Camaro. Actually two Camaros — first a clapped-out ’76 F-body that later becomes the ’09 version.
“This is kind of a special movie in that the cars are characters,” says director Michael Bay. “I wanted to find a special car and I have the best relationship with GM. They took me into their skunkworks and I saw this car. I said, ‘That’s the car.’” Not only did Bay know GM, since he has directed numerous GM commercials (he was also one of the first owners of a Chevy SSR truck), but also GM is unsurprisingly familiar with the film’s producer, Steven Spielberg.
 “I didn’t hesitate and saw the opportunity,” explained Steve Tihanyi, GM’s general director for marketing alliances and entertainment. “There was really no hesitation. It was only whether I could deliver what he needed. We’ve done a lot of things together. This movie is going to be chock-full of product.” With filming to take place throughout 2006, getting the two “Camaros” necessary for filming would take a stupendous effort.

General Motors is in the business of building thousands of vehicles every day. But when it comes to building just two of a type, well, that’s not GM’s gig. That’s where Saleen Specialty Vehicles comes in. Yeah, it’s that Saleen: the company that made its bones building high-performance variants of the Ford Mustang. But its facility in Troy, Michigan, where the Ford GT was assembled, is also one of Detroit’s most respected builders of show vehicles, and it even already had some movie experience.
Saleen was hired by GM at the suggestion of Steve Mann, the picture vehicle coordinator on Transformers, who while doing similar duties on the 2005 film XXX: State of the Union, had worked with Saleen in creating movie-car versions of Ford’s Cobra concept. But beyond that, Mann had also worked directly with Steve Saleen on 2003′s Hollywood Homicide and, coincidentally, their daughters had been roommates for a year while attending USC. In short, Steve Mann knew what Saleen could accomplish.
 Since the GTO with its 109.8-inch wheelbase is already about the same size as the Camaro Concept with its 110.5-inch wheelbase, the Australian-built Pontiac became a natural base upon which to build the two Bumblebees. But the GTO is built around a unitized structure, so Saleen couldn’t simply drop a new body onto the chassis. “Basically it was reverse-engineered by our build team,” explains Bryan Chambers, the director of production at Saleen. “We had less than 45 days to build both cars so it was a barn-burner.”

Then a team led by Jon Zorn in Saleen’s showcar body shop grafted on the GM-supplied fiberglass bodies that had been pulled from the same molds used to build the concept car.
Throw in an interior also formed with fiberglass pieces, a lot of detail components (like the composite hubcaps that make the huge steel wheels look like the alloys on the concept) and a couple gallons of gorgeous gold paint and the result is the car we’re driving along the access roads outside the old Howard Hughes aircraft hangar.
Piloting Bumblebee
The old Hughes hangar in Playa Vista has been a popular place for filmmakers to shoot for decades. It’s huge and tall, so big that impressive sets can be built inside. Also it’s just down the street from Los Angeles International Airport, so all the talented craft and trades people that make for a great movie can easily get to the site. Fortunately for us (including photographer Randy Lorentzen), the hangar is also surrounded by private roads that once connected the various buildings on Hughes’ extended property. This is critical, since the Bumblebee Camaro is nowhere near street legal and doesn’t carry any sort of registration for operation on public roads.
 From afar the Bumblebee Camaro is simply gorgeous; the shape that mesmerized on the show stands looks even better in sunlight. Up close, this movie prop is even more impressive, despite plenty of fakery including plastic door handles that are supposed to look like metal and plexiglass side windows that don’t roll down. This isn’t some cheap splash of fiberglass done up by amateurs, but rather Corvette-quality resin and mat. Every piece of the body is perfectly formed, the panels fit to each other with precision and the paint is thick and luminous. It’s not a production car, but it could easily pass for one.

This isn’t some cheap splash of fiberglass done up by amateurs, but rather Corvette-quality resin and mat. Every piece of the body is perfectly formed, the panels fit to each other with precision and the paint is thick and luminous. It’s not a production car, but it could easily pass for one. Inside the cabin, fiberglass panels cover components that obviously have their origins in the donor GTO. For instance, the instrumentation is simply the GTO’s gauges covered in new frames, while the seats come straight from the Pontiac. Most of the surfaces the driver touches are hard plastic instead of the soft-touch stuff found in production machines, but it’s all been nicely shaped and beautifully finished. Impressively, Saleen has even managed to keep the GTO’s air-conditioning system intact, for which I’m sure the stunt drivers were grateful while filming during the heat last summer.
Bumblebee Awakes
The car starts instantly and falls easily into a familiar, throaty idle. The four-speed automatic transmission’s shift lever has been modified from a GTO piece and it works fine. Get the car rolling and there’s some road noise from the big tires since there’s little sound-deadening material aboard, but there are only a few creaks around where the body is bonded to the frame.
The steering feels fine, the brakes seem to work fine and there was no real chance to find out how the suspension worked. But my guess is that it worked just as if it were still under GTO bodywork.
This is a miracle, because most movie cars are utter crap, clapped-out junkers barely mobile enough to roll across the movie screen and blow up spectacularly. They’re incredibly lethal to drive, a mix of unpredictable dynamics and ongoing electrical fires. This Bumblebee, on the other hand, looks just about perfect and seems sweet-natured enough to do the morning commute. And when Justin Mann from the Transformers picture-car department got in it to do the burnout, it fried its tires like a seasoned street racer.
No muss, no fuss. Most important, thank God, nothing broke, so the movie crew didn’t chase me down the street while waving ax handles. We might even still have a career.
This may not be the next Camaro, but if Chevy’s lucky there will be some Bumblebee in every new Camaro it builds. Especially the ability to burn down those tires.
