Dan — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:12:22 +0000

With the demise of most magazines, corporate takeover of forums, and the niche blogs taking a part of the automotive internet culture, it is time for Vivid Racing to step up the game. The days of knowing someone to get a simple feature in a magazine are over, but the days of blowing your minds

BMW 550 Gets the Sleeper Treatment

Dan — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:00:21 +0000

One would think that the BMW 550I has plenty of power for a luxury sedan cruiser. 1 step below the M5, the 550 lacks just some small upgrades that can turn this V8 into a V10 killer. To start this customers project off, we did a ECU Flash with local tuner Dyno Comp. The ECU

New GT2RS Inspired Wheels by Agency Power

Dan — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:59:19 +0000

Agency Power is proud to release its new GT2RS inspired 1 piece monoblock wheel for the Porsche 996 and 997 widebody cars. The multi-spoke design features offset windows and uniquely designed curved elements to the center of the wheel. These wheels are only available in 19×8.5 and 19×12 and are sold as a set of 4. The rear wheel offers a more aggressive concavity with an equally stunning front fitment. The front wheel weighs 21lbs where the rear weighs 24lbs. Our wheels are built for a more aggressive look and fitment to truly sit flush with the fender wells. The wheels are designed to work with OEM lug bolts and do not require spacers. Wheels are only available in our sleek matte black or elegant brushed & clear finish. Each wheel includes your choice of AP engraved center cap color, or you can fit with zero modification the OEM Porsche crest center caps to the wheels. The outter of the wheel has a stylish Agency Power text engraved. The bolt pattern of these wheels is a 5×130 and with the aggressive offsets, these will clear larger big brake kits and rotors without any issues. This wheel set fits all 2001-2012 Porsche 996 C4s, 996 Turbo, 997 C4s, 997 Turbo vehicles. The recommended tire size for all models in the front is a 235/35/19 and for the 996 rear a 315/25/19 and for the 997 a 305/30/19.

Our goal with the AP Wheel line up is to truly allow a complete Agency Power built vehicle from ground up or simply to equip your vehicle with our quality product. Each wheel collection is designed specifically for the vehicle it was intended to be used on. We keep it simple… Our wheels are available for the car specified, in the sizes specified, and the colors specified. Why do we do this? Where other manufactures have a custom wheel built which can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks, we keep these instock, fast shipping, better price, and less decisions.

Our forged wheels are made in the USA by a leading manufacture in the wheel business. In cooperation with the Agency Power team, wheels are designed to our specifications. Wheel sizes, offsets, and colors are chosen to what we know our customers will like. We focus on 1 piece Monoblock wheels for several reasons. The 1 piece wheels are much lighter then usual 3 piece wheels. The low weight helps reduce unsprung mass improving acceleration, braking, and handling. The wheel construction process starts out as a 6061 aluminum block which is compressed and put under intense heat. This creates a dense grain structure to form a round, blank canvas. This single piece of aluminum is where the wheel begins its shape before going into a CNC machine. All of our wheels are designed with safety, function, and style in mind. All wheels come with our Agency Power Lifetime Warranty.

Porsche Tiptronic Owners Can Now Shift with Excitement

Dan — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 16:38:27 +0000

One of the exciting factors of having a shiftable automatic transmission is being able to bang through the gears. However on the Porsche 996 and 986 Tiptronic steering wheels, the little shift buttons are less then desirable. So to add excitement to your Tiptronic steering wheel, we have created these carbon fiber paddle shifters! These paddles are molded from the factory buttons and simply lay on top of the factory part to still have the OEM functionality. The paddle extends up and down about 3 inches giving you more places to shift from when your hands are on the wheel. Road racing and taking a hard turn and don’t want to take your hands off 10 and 2? No problem! The shifters are made from 100% carbon fiber and are built up to 1/8 inch thick for strength when shifting from the extensions. The direct fitment part to the OEM button retains that depression for a nice feel with your thumb. The high gloss carbon fiber paddles simply attach with either strong 3M double tape or you can use a small amount of epoxy (recommended). Each paddle features a simple + and – to complete the look. The paddles sold in pairs fit on all Porsche 996 and 986 Boxster cars from 99-05 with the Tiptronic steering wheels.

What Makes the Valvetronic Exhausts BETTER then Others

Dan — Thu, 26 May 2011 22:48:06 +0000

We thought we would put together a short video using our Agency Power BMW M5 valvetronic exhaust as a demonstration. Many people are not familiar with what a Valvetronic exhaust is or does. The idea of at the push of a button you can switch between quiet and race mode is a feature which Agency Power has on many exhaust systems. Where other exhausts are always loud, the Agency Power valved systems allow you to switch to a quiet mode. This quiet mode is usually the same as a stock unit by restricting the exhaust flow. With the exhaust valves open, the system roars giving you the performance and sound you desire. Agency Power makes these valvetronic exhausts for the BMW M5/M6 V10, Nissan GTR, and the Ferrari 360. We have also done some custom units as seen on our Porsche 997 TT. Check out all these Agency Power Valvetronic Exhausts Here.

Agency Power Drops a Scud… New Carbon Fiber 360 Spoiler

If you ever thought that your Ferrari 360 was missing just a little flavor on the back hatch, Agency Power has now taken care of that for you! With inspiration from the Scuderia F430 duck tail, we have developed this top quality simple fitting carbon fiber add on spoiler. Made from 100% carbon fiber at our in-house design studio, the Scud Spoiler fits cleanly on the rear hatch wrapping around the rear brake light to blend in nicely. Its flowing design integrates to the Ferrari’s styling as if it was made to be on the car. The spoiler is finished in a glossy clear coat and is supplied with ultra thin 3M tape for quick installation. There is no cutting, drilling, or assembly required and is easily reversible. Though not pictured, the Ferrari emblem can be retained. This is one beautiful piece to accent other carbon fiber pieces on your vehicle or paint it to match one of the brilliant Ferrari colors.

New Carbon Fiber Intercooler Pipe Kit for EVO X Owners

Dan — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 00:35:50 +0000

As one of the most popular upgrades for the Mitsubishi EVO X, the Agency Power top intercooler pipe is now available to make your engine bay that much better! Agency Power now offers our 3 inch top intercooler pipe kit in Carbon Fiber Why carbon fiber? Simple… Not only is it functional reducing heat transfer, it also dresses up the engine bay quite a bit. What makes our carbon fiber product different and better is our 1 piece tubular design. All our intercooler pipes are made using carbon fiber braided sleeve which gives it extreme strength and a beautiful design. Not only do we do these in a standard gloss carbon fiber, we also offer these in a Matte Carbon finish, blue carbon weave, and red carbon weave. Each intercooler pipe kit includes necessary couplers and clamps for a direct installation. The top intercooler pipe was designed to work as a replacement for the OEM piping so this will fit OEM replacement larger intercoolers.

Because the 3 inch is a larger diameter then stock, the plastic radiator shroud will need to be trimmed on the underside to clear the piping. This kit is available with a diameter of 3 inches for improved air flow on higher horsepower cars. By installing this pipe kit, you will maintain boost pressure more efficiently, pick up throttle response, and gain horsepower. As tested on a Mustang AWD Dyno with our short ram intake kit, this setup made almost 30 all wheel horsepower. All Agency Power products come with a LIMITED LIFETIME warranty when you fill out this form HERE.

Agency Power New Carbon Fiber Part Number 1

Dan — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 19:12:00 +0000

With the insane results of our aluminum Y-Pipe kit for the Porsche Panamera Turbo, we wanted to step up the luxury look of the engine bay with a full carbon fiber version. This carbon fiber Y-Pipe is a full replacement and includes everything you need to install in place of the original.

Looking at the stock Y design in front of the throttle body, we new there was improvements to be made. This throttle body is the same size as the Cayenne TT throttle body we use on our 996TT and 997TT upgrade kits. The stock Y-Pipe is a 2 piece plastic Y design that is smooth on the inside with a “deflector” internally to channel air. The bad part about the stock one is it goes from a 78mm ID at the throttle body down to a approximately 51mm diameter Y split. This then connects to rubber boost hoses that expand under pressure. Both of these are a power robbers! If you retain the stock design and stock diameter hoses, YOU CANNOT GAIN power no matter if the YPipe is cast aluminum or plastic. This is why we made a complete Y-Pipe kit which retains a 3inch diameter design all the way to the factory end piece connections at the intercoolers.

The dyno sheet shows the car in standard mode with the stock Y piece versus our big Y-Pipe kit. These are huge gains throughout the ENTIRE rpm band which is impressive. Dyno proven results are not something to see, but something you can feel. The more airflow you get into that throttlebody the more HP you will gain. By eliminating the rubber boost hoses, you remove the pressure fluctuation from expansion which loses power. With our Y-Pipe kit, the air flow improvement improves every aspect of driving your Panamera Turbo. As tested on our Mustang AWD Dyno, the Y-Pipe made 34awhp and 35ft/lbs of torque.

These Y-Pipes are all made in the USA using carbon fiber braided sleeve and a bladder molding technique. The Y-Pipe includes necessary couplers and clamps for a true bolt on installation. All clamps should be torqued to no more then 15lbs. These are designed for the 2010 and up Porsche Panamera Turbo.
