50 Tips & Tricks

Stronger. Faster. Better. Cheaper.

We have the technology to build cars that are superior in every way compared to those assembled just a few years ago—and without spending six million dollars. The following pages showcase 50 of the literally hundreds of nifty ideas and problem-solvers we encountered over the past few years. Many of them were developed by car crafters like you; some are practical tips from experienced auto techs and engine builders; while still others are tried-and-true ideas that—while not exactly new—are still valid today, even if sometimes overlooked for the latest gizmo of the moment. With your street machine about to go into Winter hibernation, there’s lots of time to start upgrading your ride with some of these tips…so take this issue out to your (hopefully heated) garage and warm up the wrenches. And if you have any slick ideas or shortcuts yourself, don’t hesitate to drop us a line.
