We purchased a Mk7 Volkswagen Golf GTI with the intent of making it reliable for both track duty and daily driving.
Here's what we had to do to make that happen.
Need help deciding what the best wheel and tire combo is for your NA Miata?
There are plenty of options, but here are a few reasons why we went with a 15-inch setup for our Garage Rescue Miata.
What’s it like to track a MX-5 Cup car? Well, thanks to a loaner from Flis Performance, the official MX-5 Cup car manufacturer, we took one out at our official test track, the FIRM, to find out.

How did it stack up against other cars we have tested? View this video to get some in-depth insight.
What are the benefits of downsizing to 17-inch wheels on our E46 BMW M3?
In addition to saving money on tires for track days, we also got more sidewall compliance for a smoother ride on the street.

Looking to add more downforce at the front of your car? Why not try adding a chassis-mounted splitter?
We needed to balance out the aerodynamic upgrades on our LS-swapped Nissan 350Z, so we visited both Morlind Engineering and Nine Lives Racing to learn how to properly design, fabricate and install a chassis-mounted splitter.

Why is it so important to regularly change your brake fluid, especially for a car that’s tracked often?
We’ll tell you–and we’ll even show how to test the brake fluid currently in your car plus what you should replace it with for track duty.
Want to avoid being "that guy" at the next autocross event—you know, the one who didn't prepare beforehand and got the event shut down because he spilled a bunch of fluid on the course?
All you need to do is follow our checklist of what we do before you even leave the garage.

Why replace the glass windshield on our 1965 Mustang racer–or any race car, for that matter–with one made from polycarbonate?
For starters, it’s much lighter than the OE glass windshield and, in some cases, it can actually be safer than running with glass.
Just like our LS-powered Nissan 350Z, this one comes from SHIELDS® Windshields.
