The all new Border Run Rally commenced on Saturday, August 20 with 500+ miles of amazing Texas and Oklahoma roads perfect for the automotive enthusiast. Whether you love attacking the twisties or the open road, there was something for you. The catch…Border Run is a gimmick rally, so driving 500 miles in one day isn’t as easy as one would imagine. All along the route, you’re figuring out gimmicks (clues, riddles, etc.). Some show you the route you need to follow and some go toward points in the competition. Since Border Run is not a race and is self-paced by each driver and navigator, the awards are for those who find the most gimmicks.

Snowpocalypse, snowmagedden, snowcain infiltration, or whatever you want to call it, we’ve had quite the winter this year in North Texas. With only one set of tires on my Infiniti G35 and those being fairly sticky, summer tires, you might imagine my hesitation to drive it in the snow and ice. So while it has been at or near single digit temperatures, she stayed in the garage at a pleasant fifty or sixty degrees. The Explorer has served us well in the snow when we needed out.
However, I couldn’t help but think how pretty the Twilight Blue paint would look in the snow. So she rolled out one afternoon, and now I know. Take a look.

Another S2000 tour has come and gone and may have been the best yet. Thanks to Andy and all who were involved in the planning and execution of this great event. The NW Arkansas twisties seem to get better each time we’re there!

Some cars respond to different air intakes with an obvious increase in power. Others, such as those with Nissan’s VQ motor, arguably add any power at all. For the latter, most add an intake solely for the extra volume when dropping your lead foot to the floorboard. Intake manufacturers have long advertised increases anywhere from two to fifteen horsepower. An inordinate number of enthusiast forum arguments have stemmed from this over the years, as many claim there are no gains whatsoever.
Someone over at G35driver.com has finally decided to use his Infiniti G35 as the baseline, rent a dyno, and put this myth to rest…or more likely, start a whole new batch of arguments. Regardless, this should be a fun comparison and one that will at least result in actual dyno numbers from a relatively controlled test.
A few intakes have been sourced, but the more the merrier. If you can help out in providing another intake for the comparison, please let me know or jump on the forum to make a post. The first link below has a list of what is still needed.
The intake myth. The car. The test details.
