Held each year in Las Vegas, Nevada, the SEMA Show is an industry event for the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association.
Tuners and parts suppliers from across the industry and even from the realm of motorsports come to show off their wares, usually displayed on some sort of eye-catching highly-modified vehicle - be it a muscle car, hot rod or sport compact car.
And let's not forget the increasing presence of mainstream manufacturers like Hyundai, Scion, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler and Dodge. Major areas of interest at SEMA include Racing and Performance, Wheels and Tires, as well as Trucks, SUVs and Off-Road vehicles.
For more check out AutoGuide's live SEMA Show coverage here!

Itasha Gathering in Odaiba, Tokyo on the 4th of October 2009. For those who are not aware, an Itasha is a car decked out with anime decals!
It translate to "painful car", which can be viewed as painfully embarrassing for the owner or painful to their wallets. It is a relatively new scene here in Japan and was very interesting to see. There were some nice example of nicely done up cars which also has the performance to match, so you can laugh at them until they whoop your ass on the track. There were close to 800 cars with not enough time to get the details but we did what was possible to show the event as a whole. Just about any type of vehicle participated in the event from VIP, Imports, Classics, K-Cars, Full tuned Sports, Wagons, Family and ECO.
Some may feel that the vehicles have been defaced and some may take a more light-hearted view. One thing that is for certain is that there are alot of creative ways to accent your vehicle with vinyl and many of the designs took alot of time and effort to create.
Hope you guy enjoy the pictures and get some creative inspiration out of them.

I have been trying to find out this information for a little while now & I can't find any hard facts. I want to know if the current ZR1 (C6 model) will ONLY run through the 2010 model year or if maybe 2011 will be the last year. Everything that I have been finding has the 2011 Vette as a new C7 Vette with a redesign.
So anyone know when the last year of the ZR1 will be? 2010? 2011? Anyone?
If you have a website with hard facts....please post it.

Hey guys. I have been looking at buying an Eagle Talon for a while now, and I finally have the chance. There's a guy that is willing to sell me his 96 Talon ESi FWD for $1000 or less. I was really looking for the AWD TSi, but it isn't that big of a deal. I am looking for a project car anyway. But, my question is, is it possible to just put a TSi turbo onto the ESi? Or, would I have to change some internals? This is the only problem so far. It's not the turbo, and I was mainly looking for a cheap turbo'd project. 300zx, something along those lines. If it is possible, there is a junkyard out here that has a TSi turbo that they'll sell me for $20. So, I think my question is, could I just "bolt-on" a TSi turbo onto an ESi? Thanks for the input.

So, I was on my way to my girlfriend's house just now. Saw an older body style Civic hatch with license plate "ILUVJDM". As soon as I got here I jumped on her computer and had to get on MF. I would have taken a picture, but I didn't have my camera. I really wish. One of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Hey all, I am putting a spider gear kit in aforementioned rearend and I cant get the spider gear washers to stick to the spider gears while rotating them into place. The housing keeps rubbing them off as they are moved into position. I was wandering if anyone has a better way of doing this or an idea to keep the washers in place?

Not sure is this is the correct spot, Moderators please feel free to move if need to..
I recently bought a 97 Pajero 3.0 V6 SWB 12valve engine with 197000km in the clock, not sure about the engine code. But just after receiving the vehicle replaced the lifter for they was noisy as normal & the valve stem seals & cambelt, they were totally worn. Now its starting to use oil... and a lot, about 4liters over 1000km.... Does this engine have a splash plate under the breather? For I`m wondering if the guys doing to lifters & the seals maybe missplaced it & is now breathing the oil..?? Any thoughts?

Sup everybody? I know there are a few people on here that have an Talon tsi as a secondary car or even a dd. I was just wondering if anyone that owns one is satisfied with it? Is it fun to drive, easy to mod, etc? Just all around things about them. I am looking to pick up an old talon as a project car and dd my Lancer. I was looking at doing the same thing except with a 99 civic si, but then I decided against it. I like the look of the talon more and they're awd and turbo'd. I have found a few people in my area selling them for around $500-1000. I think it's worth it, for a tsi. And I might even settle for a non-tsi. Depends how much though. Just give me some basic info on what ya'll think of em. Thanks in advance.

So, Hot Rod Magazine got to see the building of the first Camaros. One is being built for the Grand Am, a Dale Earnhardt Jr. Edition, a "Camaro Black" version (with a V6), and one with the C6 Z06 LS7. And all that is fine and dandy, until I reached the pages with the sketches of a 2012 Firebird, drawn by Murray Pfaff, a Detroit Auto Designer. It's only an idea floating around GM supposedly but I would like to see one if it looked like any of these designs...

I'm rebuilding a 1968 Austin-Healey Sprite. My wife does not drive stickshift, which is the only original option, so I am looking for an alternative motor/trans to transplant. The original engine was a 1250CC, some of the newer MGs came with 1500CC, so I think I can safely install something a little bigger, newer, and more reliable.
My son suggested a 2.0 Mitsu combo... Any comments or suggestions? Remember, this is a RWD car....
TIA

I know i should have posted this somewhere else but its kind of a general automatic transmission question. And i wanted to post it where it will get looked at because im tired of waiting for this car.
Im buying a 300zx from a friend for 300 dollars. Ive been waiting for a few weeks for it now and the reason is because my frineds dad siad the car is stuck in drive. The shifter or whatever its called used to work about a year ago, then a little kid decided to sit in the car and slide the shifter back and forth from park to third or however it goes over and over again. Finally it just stopped shifting. this all happend while the car was off. if the transmission is stuck in drive, is it easy to fix and if so what do you think needs to be fixed?
Any help is needed please, I want this car already!!

ok im back in WI for the holidays visiting family. my lil sis has a geo tracker. from what i was told it has lil to no power when gas is pressed and when goin up hill it wont go over 5 mph. i got around to gettin it started and when i went to hit the throtle from the throtle body it died. after getin it to start after that i pressed gas pedel to the floor and only gained a few 100 rpm. it didnt even reach 1k rpm it barly heald a idle at close to 200 rpm. but after holdin gas down n not redline i released pedel, and of coarse it killed. my question is what could it be???? i still yet have to test the TPS(which i think it the problem) and also do a compression test. just lookin for more opinions.
ps i know its a shit car hence its my lil sis car. just tryin to get it to run right b4 i go back home.

So I the crank shaft seal blew on my 3000gt (hope thats all) so I decided I needed a reliable car to get me back and forth the work and school so I picked up a 2007 tc this weekend. It's Blue with a 5spd. My only complaint so far is it needs a sixth gear, other than that (and lack of being a 3000gt) I absolutly love it.

i know this a eclipse forum but the nessan 1s im a member of r worth shit. my friends has a 300zx 2+2 and it has been over heatin badly. i fixed the cheap fixed first and all was good after. except when at dle it would overheat and smoke out exaust. i checked the oil n no water had goten in. and just a few days ago his car had died and we went to pick it up battery was dead so we jumped it. when it was jumped it seemed to be runnin on a few less cylinders but not sure if it was. so we desided to put a new water pump in since it was still over heatin and fired it up and there was a hose that had a hole blew in it. i went to put new hose in after waterpump was changed and couldnt get it on. so i pull out dip stick to use the oil to lube the hose and saw that water had gotten in that oil now. after the hose was put on we started it again and finaly no leaks for a moment and then it started to leak again but the worst part what water shootin out the exaust.
for what i know i can only say head gasket i need more opinions here this car is gettin to be worst than and eclipse lol(fixin wise)
EDIT..... sorry if it seems confusing

$1,831,776 Aston Martin One-77
It's hard to think of a DB-9 or Vanquish as anything other than automotive perfection, so when the Brits in Gaydon say the One-77 is the embodiment of Aston Martin design, color us interested. The ultra-exclusive two-seat supercar seems to have it all: a 700 hp V12, carbon fiber chassis, aluminum body, and the ultimate in Aston design. The One-77 has an exclusive price tag of about £1,050,000 or $1,831,776 before taxes, too, and even the Paris Motor Show isn't a big enough venue to unveil the full design to the world.
Aston Martin is sure playing up the anticipation for the One-77, and even though there is absolutely no shot we'll ever get to drive one, we're taking the bait. Teasers and sneak peaks are all we're getting at this point, and with a full year before it goes on sale, we could be waiting a bit longer. Aston CEO Bez Ulrich and chief designer Mark Reichman sat down to discuss the One-77 with the cameras rolling, and the two key players on team Martin seem to be in love with this vehicle.

So Reva, the indigenous electric car has not impressed you by its diminutive frame? Honestly, it had not vroomed into my heart, till I read this interesting article in a print magazine. Now this magazine decided to put Reva, touted as the city car, to the litmus test, and pitched it for a race against the meanest of all cars, the Audi Q7.
