Congo Dave brought us some good beer today, and even brought me a Delirium glass!

The Tripel has an awsome hoppy tatse and is a bit lighter tasting than Delirium but still has a great fruit aftertaste.

Don’t want to hack up your nice Samco hose to put in that ugly temp sensor adaptor? Need extra hole for that water expansion tank? Don’t want to clutter up your engine bay with the temp sensor line going across the bay?

We thought the same and made these awesome adaptor to go between your water neck and the block. These are made in USA using the highest quality materials. These only work with RWD SR20DET engines. S13 and S14, OK!!

This past weekend was the Formula D Pro Am Nationals events where the top amateurs from across the country came out to battle it out for licenses to drive in the Formula D 2008 Season. The event was in Laughlin, NV, just an hour away from Las Vegas. Drivers came out from California, Texas, the midwest, and as far as the east coast.

Drivers were split into regions, each region having thier own Series to compete in to determine its top drivers. Touge Factory has been supporting ClubFR and the Midwest Cup Series for the North region of the US Drift Association. Last years nationals boasted of California Love with the majority of the entrants coming from California and all the top finishers all hailing from California. However this year the Midwest brought out 8 drivers. Rob Riter – IL, Simba Nyemba – IL, Juan Marquez – IL, Brian Peter – WI, Ryan Clemens – MN, Mike Pollard – MN, Clinton Florczyk – IN, Chuck Litterest (Competed in East division) – MO.

A lot of people doubted the skill level of the Midwest’s group of drivers, not being on a coast a lot of attention has not been on these 8 drivers. When it came down to competition all of the drivers stepped up their game and amazed the crowd. For Saturdays competition 5 of the 8 drivers (Ryan could only compete on Sunday), qualified top 16. During the tandem rounds the midwest drivers kept their game up and gave everyone a heartfelt battle. In the end Rob Riter, an employee of Touge Factory, stood as number 1 on the stage. Rob driving his 99 Black Mazda Miata eliminated all the competition and took the championship in the Pro Am. Rob was awarded with his Formula D license and a trophy filled with Jaeger (It wasn’t even cold! -Rob).

On Sunday all the drivers from the top 16 and the 0 point Formula D drivers got to battle it out for another chance at getting licenses. This time qualifying in the top 16 was 3 of 5 drivers from the midwest. Brian Peter in his S13 silvia from Wisconsin ended up taking second place, losing to Forest Wang in the final battle. The Formula D judges awarded all the top 16 with licesnes after seeing how good all of the drivers were.In the end 4 of the 8 drivers that came down to Laughlin got their licesnes. Those drivers include Rob Riter, Brian Peter, Ryan Clemens, and Chuck Litterst.

Congratulations to all the drivers from the Midwest, and all the other drivers at the Pro Am Nationals. Keep an eye out for all these amateurs as they join the pros and compete in the upcoming 2008 Formula D Season.

Any company that is able to manufacture a 3.6L V10 engine that revs out to over 20,000RPM in house, must know a thing or two about motors. Cosworth has been building some the world’s fastest and most winning engines for over 50 years. Just the name “Cosworth”, conjures up thoughts of the Williams F1 car screaming around Silverstone, and Petter Solberg speeding through Monte Carlo in his WRC Subaru. More professional race teams use Cosworth engines than any other manufacturer.

Touge Factory is happy to bring you a line of Cosworth engine parts for your personal vehicle. The demand for precisely engineered race parts for use by the common motor sport enthusiast has risen, and Cosworth has stepped up to the challenge. Using their unlimited amount of resources, Cosworth engineers have produced a line of top notch parts for a wide array of vehicles.

The most exciting new product is the multi-layer metal head gasket. The Cosworth brand head gaskets are manufactured using a die cut process. Die cut head gaskets are far superior to the average laser cut head gasket. The die cut process ensures smooth edges and superior consistency compared to laser cut gaskets. These three-layer, steel head gaskets come in a variety of thicknesses to fit any specific application you may have. The gaskets also feature a “stopper” sealing layer for additional torque around each cylinder. Cosworth has also done the research to find the specific width of each sealing area to provide the ultimate sealing properties. The entire surface is coated with a 0.25 micron layer of nitrile rubber to ensure consistent distribution of coating with no high or low areas. This head gasket is made to last.

We all love to drive, and using Cosworth parts will help make sure you’re not stuck in the pits with a broken car. Touge Factory has an assortment of the Cosworth multi-layer head gaskets in stock. Call 847.290.1531 or check out Touge Factory for more info.
