Our Operations Manager has been conducting a test for ACT for 11 years and 130,000 miles later, his clutch finally let out!. His 95 Honda Civic Ex with a B16 motor was tracked, turbo charged for a year, and driven every day. Check it out! 
This was a 11 test that has really shown the quality of their products and why we have great satisfaction with their products. Dynamic Autosports has once again proven that the product lines that we carry are simply the best in our industry. That is why we have been in business for so long.
ACT we salute you for making such a good product, the bad part is that we aren't really generatiing anymore clutch sales when we sell your product. One and done, I guess he will have to wait another 11 years til his next ACT clutch runs out.

Recently the Subaru community has been faced with a shortage of the production of engine bearings which has been a bit of a hit to the Engine Building Community. Gruppe-S has searched high and low to offer our customers a solution for our race engines and after much leg work we are extremely happy to introduce the release of the Mahle Motorsports bearing. With a long standing heritage in racing specifically in Formula One, Mahle Motorsports manufactures some of the world's finest bearings. These bearings are not the same as the Formula 1 bearings but are now being built by the same people who build their bearings and going to be available here from Gruppe-S.
These specific Subaru bearing are being used specifically in WRC cars in Europe and will be testing the bearing here shortly at Gruppe-S as well as customer motors and also on famous RWD Hankook drift car.
Some of the special Benefits of Mahle Motorsports bearings
Laser Marking
The cheapest method of identifying a bearing is by stamping, and in motorsports this can compromise some performance. The embossed section on the bearing causes less efficient heat transfer because there is less surface contact. Laser marking is an alternative method which creates smaller, more consistent marking which does not distort the backing and as such does not disrupt the backcontact and subsequent heat transfer.
Racing Notch
1. The first is that it enables the cross sectional area of the joint face to remain fully intact such that the hoop stresses in the bearing caused by the interference fit with the housing are equally distributed.
• A conventional notch requires a section of the material to be pressed back from the joint face which reduces the cross sectional area and therefore there is less material with which to support the load imposed by the interference fit of the bearing assembly.
• The racing notch allows the contact pressure between the bearing and housing to be maximised if required. This allows the housing to provide maximum support for the bearing and the optimum heat transfer from the bearing into the housing.
2. The second advantage is that the bore of the bearing remains uninterrupted which creates a better surface for the formation of the oil film and it also removes an oil leakage path.

It was unbelievably close........ Having fronted the money for this challenge, I have to say i was sweating a bit. It got down to 10 McNuggets and about 15 minutes to go so he was looking good. The Nard Dog decided to take a break and thats what ultimately did him in. With only 3 minutes to the finish line he had 4 left and called it quits. A BRAVE EFFORT FROM MR ANDREW BERNARD, But I WIN!FINAL RESULTS: FAILURE!
TOTAL NUTRITIONAL FACTS OF THE CHALLENGE
Total Nuggets Completed: 46 Pieces
Total Calories from Nuggets Alone: 2185
Total Grams of fat from Nuggets: 138 Grams
Total Sodium: 4600mg
SAUCE NUTRITION FACTS
Total Sauce Containers Consumed: 10
Total Calories from Sauces: 500
Total Sodium: 2050mg
Total Sugar: 100 Grams Here he is IMMEDIATE after the challenge. he looks happy.
The remnants of McNugget Challenge!
Until the next one.Steven @ Gruppe-S
He took a trip to The Attic in Buena Park, CA and muscled around James Yang to get his last pair of Airmax 90s.
He's pretty picky with clothing, but not picky enough to spend a bunch of money, the price tag out weighs the style factor. Pretty strange for a guy with a GTR!!!!!
Notice the colors, very close the the Hankook colors so I guess he will be rocking them at the Formula D events with the race uniform. He knows they are Salmon color, but he insists they are orange and make for Hankook's drift team, too bad he didn't get us any.
