DeatschWerks_22S-05_with_Pump

DeatschWerks has added fuel system products for the 2012-13 9th Generation Honda Civic to its arsenal. Available Now – an upgraded DeatschWerks 265 LPH fuel pump with fitment kit and five sizes of injectors, ranging from 420cc to 1300cc.

The 265 LPH DW65c is a high-quality compact fuel pump that DeatschWerks has made available for several applications over the past two years, so it is time tested and rock solid. This 65mm compact fuel pump is the only aftermarket pump available for the new Civic, and DeatschWerks provides it with a fitment kit at no extra cost. The kit allows the pump to drop right into the Civic cage – no modifications necessary.

DW’s new Civic injectors also fit the 2009+ Acura TSX and 2012+ Acura ILX, and they come in 420cc, 550cc, 750cc, 1000cc and 1300cc sizes to fit all needs. As with all DeatschWerks injectors, the new Civic injector sets are flow balanced and matched, and they come with full tuning data and a custom flow report. This data allows for an easier tuning process, resulting in better idle, drivability and power.

All DeatschWerks products are E85 compatible… and now they come with our above-mentioned, industry-leading 3-year warranty!

A “Real” Movie about Racing

April 23rd, 2013 by Kyle West

When I tell people what I do for a living and their response is “so like Fast and the Furious” I always cringe a little. Hollywood hasn’t been the best friend to our industry, the list of crappy racing movies is much longer than the list of great ones. There’s hope though. This September, Ron Howard may put one in the winners circle with Rush (trailer below).

rush

But first, here’s a couple notable picks from yours truly:

  • Days of Thunder is the first racing movie I can remember watching. Sure it was a shitty love story with some NASCAR wrecks thrown in, but at least we got “rubbin’ is racing” and Tom Cruise’s wacky marriage to Nicole Kidman out of it.
  • Driven is probably the worst “racing” movie every made but it did teach us that IndyCars can launch manhole covers a dozen feet into the air.
  • Fast and Furious is about drugs, or money, or street racing, or horrible acting. Hell, who knows what F&F 13 was about. Did anyone bother watching it?
  • When talking racing movies it’s impossible to leave out Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby but let’s be honest … not a real racing movie.

APR Tuned Press Release – APR Presents the MK6 GLI RSC Exhaust System!

April 19th, 2013 by Ernest Lo

APR_FE100046A APR’s RSC™ Technology is now available for the MK6 GLI in our newest RSC™ or Reflective Sound Cancellation allows for maximum exhaust gas flow while completely eliminating unwanted in cabin sound resonance known as “drone.” RSC™ incorporates innovative technologies developed in conjunction with NASA.

Reflective Cancellation bounces the undesirable sound waves into each other to attenuate the wave and completely eliminate the low frequency tones that create drone. Each RSC™ muffler is tuned to eliminate specific, undesirable sound frequencies allowing only the engine’s true and desirable exhaust note to be heard and improving performance.

APR’s design specifications and manufacturing requirements result in a 3″ mandrel bend stainless steel performance exhaust system with minimal bends unmatched by any other. RSC™ technology ensures the maximum possible performance increases from any performance exhaust system while maintaining refined and unobtrusive sound inside the cabin.

How does BMW produce a direct mail marketing campaign? I’ll give you a hint: they don’t just send a photoshop file over to UPrinting like we do.

BMW M6 Direct Mail

No, that’d be too easy. If you’re BMW’s M division you hire high-end marketing firm kbs+ to print the mail with a modified 2013 M6. We’ll let you know when the M6 printing press makes it into the RPMWare catalog. In the meantime, check out the video below to see how they did it.
