Randy Pobst can wheel a race car, and on too many occasions to count we’ve seen him do it. But he also enjoys a quick and fast street car which means that upgrades are often in order. In the video series starting below, we’ll see his 1977 Pontiac Trans Am get some suspension love. But don’t think that this is some old original worn out machine that is getting the upgrades so they can show a huge improvement. No, this car has had a bunch of work done to it to get it into ship shape, and now it’s time for more. More grip, more control, more adjustability, and above all else, more fun. Video Description: We recently heard our friend Randy’s 2nd Gen Trans Am was in need of a suspension revamp. That provided us a great opportunity to outline the features and benefits of our 2nd Gen F-body suspension systems. There’s a lot to cover, too much to include in one video, so in this first episode we outline the use case, and establish where Randy’s car is currently at by taking it out to a mock autocross track and seeing how quickly it could navigate the course. Enjoy this first episode, and make sure you keep an eye out for episode 2 where we disassemble the current setup and complete the upgrade to our complete Ridetech 2nd Gen F-Body (Camaro/Firebird) Suspension system.

If you are new around there then you might not know that we seriously dig Formula Off-Road racing here at BANGshift.com. This is high flying, loud, and intense racing that involves what look to be impossible hillclimbs, usually on giant courses made from pea gravel or something similar. It’s intense, the cars often end up upside down or rolling over down a hill. They end up rightside up on their own sometimes, but regardless the action is fun and kind of nuts. These drivers do some stuff that I’m not sure most people could. Check it out below. Video Description: Formula Offroad Iceland, Hella 2026! Track 1 – All cars and action from Track 1 in first race of the season. This year Unlimited and Modified class race together but different points. Great action in Track 1 – Hope you like it FORMULA OFFROAD: One of the most extreme motorsport in the world, the Vikings are extreme crazy when comes to Formula Offroad. Formula Off road competitions have always been a great part of the Icelandic motor-sport and is well known all over the world. Formula Offroad began in Iceland on May 2nd 1965. It started with Willys jeeps and now we have these extreme special built Offroad cars that can climb almost everything. In 1990 Formula Offroad started in other nordic countries. Today we have races in Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Hope you will enjoy this extreme motorsport that Formula Offroad is. Extreme Hill Climbing, hydroplaning, rollovers and jumps. Enjoy! Thank you.

Building a café racer is one of the most rewarding motorcycle projects an enthusiast can take on. But before the grinder sparks fly and the custom parts catalogs start filling your browser tabs, there’s one question every builder eventually faces: is it cheaper to start with a wrecked non-runner or spend more on a fully running bike? At first glance, the answer seems obvious. A rough, crashed, or partially dismantled motorcycle can often be bought for a fraction of the […] The post VIDEO: The Truth About Cheap Café Racer Project Bikes appeared first on Return of the Cafe Racers.
