With this new gangster s2000 customer, we will be starting a series on S2000 owners that are building some gangster s2000's.

Our most recent gangster s2000 owner, bought a FULL Custom widebody S2000 body kit including hardtop built for Gruppe-s. The kit styling look familiar?

Lucas at Nike sent us some drawings on a possible shoe design for our drift team next year. I really like them, just wanted to get your guys' opinion?

Mike @ Mishimoto in principle as committed to the 2010 Season on the Hankook Skyline GTR R35, by promising to provide all cooling products for the team include the Subaru Sti. Gruppe S is happy to join forces with Mishimoto and is expecting a great season with their support.

Here is a sneak peak at the R35 radiator, this is supposed to be be one bad mofo.



We will have more pictures of the radiator as we put it in.

KW has been a constant supporter of Dynamic Autosports, well for the 2010 season, they have committed to sponsoring the GTR R-35 with a 3 way adjustable suspension. The great part about KW is not only the product, but they fly a suspension engineer to help set it up. The product is great, but their service and after sales car is just unmatched by anyone in this industry. I hope the rest of the guys in Formula D has race partners like this, good luck keeping up.
Real Men of Genius, Mr Suspension designer tuner guy, WE SALUTE YOU!

Wrecked magazine posts the future Nissan Skyline Hankook R35 GTR that were featured on the Forza game. I don't know who did it, but it was a damn good job. The details are incredible and our hats are off to you.

Some customers came in and picked up a Spoon Style Hardtop from us and to our surprise they started installing it in our parking lot to get it home. Shout out to some seriously dedicated modders.

Jason Fajardo, our body guy is getting crazy for 2010 already. We decided to really improve the car next year so that Eric O'Sullivan has no excuses but to bring home a bunch of hardware. Jason decideds to cut away all excess weight and add the Seibon carbon rear doors to really lighten up the chassis. Not only that, we are going to be throwing in a 2.7 BC stroked Gruppe S prepared race engine.

Who said the EJ25 can't hang with the big boy V8s. Our engine is proof and will continue to show the racing community that the EJ25 is capable of a lot more than what most people expect.

Stay tuned we will be getting dyno horsepower numbers on this bad boy soon.






Until Next Time!

The Dynamic Autosports/Gruppe-S Mighty MINI Wins The Redline Time Attack Finals

Once upon a time, back in the day, there were only a handful of Mini's on the road in the United States - only imported versions straight from Britain, with the steering wheel on the "wrong" side. There wasn't anything that could touch those four-passenger go-kart-like cars for canyon cruising, nothing street-legal anyway. They held to the road like slot-cars and you could practically carry one in the back of a pickup as a spare. Then, for a number of reasons, they all but disappeared completely for many years - except for those collectors stashed away. That is until April of 2001, when the BMW Group wisely began producing the "MINI" the successor to the original Mini.


Eddie Kim, Vice President of Dynamic Autosports/Gruppe-S in Lake Forest, California, and his crew recently prepped their Yellow JCW MINI to do battle at the Redline Time Attack Finals. The field was deep that weekend at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, with many teams in attendance and championships in multiple classes at stake. This was their first event, and the goal was to simply go out and be competitive and to showcase the performance potential of the MINI to all their industry partners, racers, and enthusiasts. "We are preparing a spec series for MINI and this particular car is our test bed," says Kim. "The car has some basic modifications, which we believe will not void the factory warranty. That way consumers can buy a new MINI, do the modifications, and still keep the car under warranty. This is our goal, and that is why we have chosen the K&N intake, because of their pursuit to be a smog legal product." What the team ended up taking home with them was First Place in the Stock Front Wheel Drive class, along with an abundance of respect and admiration from the other teams and spectators.


The MINI performed flawlessly and flat-out ran away from the field. In their first attack session they ran a best of 1:59.14, which would have been good enough for second overall in modified class, and third in the street class as well. In their final attack the team again ran a sub-2:00 on the 2.5-mile course, clinching a surprising, but much-deserved first place. "The chassis itself is great right out of the factory box. We then modified the car with a K&N intake system," informs Kim. "We also added a Mega Mini prototype downpipe, Eibach suspension, Mega Mini intercooler, Mega mini spec brake pads, Enkei NT03 wheels and Yokohama AD08 Neov tires - and of course some bad-ass driving from Dez Ballard." "We will continue to test and make some alignment settings and possibly re-flash the ECU. We are trying to keep all the parts legal and low cost so that MINI enthusiasts can have a lot of fun and be competitive."


The Yellow JCW will be one display and a part of the driving experience at their Los Angeles Road Tour, November 21-22, at the Home Depot Center. Find K&N products for your vehicle using the K&N application search then use the K&N dealer search to find a K&N dealer in your part of the world.
