In theory, all you need to make a functioning engine is fuel, air and spark.
So, maybe it shouldn't be much of a surprise that an old air conditioning compressor from a car can be turned into a working three-cylinder engine with a few modifications.

NASCAR just announced a four-race weekend at Daytona International Speedway this August. The biggest takeaway? Three of the races will use Daytona's full road course.
What will those races look like? Thanks to iRacing, we can get a rough idea as we ran a NASCAR Cup Car against a Mercedes-AMG GT3. Presented by CRC Industries.

Take the catalytic converter: It's fairly well understood that it helps keep nasty particulates from entering the air via, but what it look like when the engine is actually running? Well, wonder no more.
After we added some go-fast bits from Techtonics Tuning to our Volkswagen Fox Lemons racer, we first went to the FIRM for a shakedown. Unfortunately, a faulty brake master cylinder cut that run short.
So we fixed the brakes, applied some fancy-looking vinyl, and added some Hella lights before we took the Fox to BSI Racing to see if that new cam and chip really added 25 more horsepower. Presented by CRC Industries.

Yesterday, August 6, was 86 Day, an informal holiday that celebrates Toyota's venerable AE86 Corolla (and, by extension, the FR-S, BRZ and GT 86).

This old commercial featuring the 1984 Volkswagen GTI makes the bold statement that "In Germany, people who love high-performance driving drive a Volkswagen GTI more than anything else."
Whether or not that's true, we can still appreciate seeing first-generation GTIs going sideways and launching off jumps to a sweet cover of "Little GTO."

Why would you want to turbocharge your push mower? We're not really sure, but we can't find a convincing reason not to try.
