This Saturday HIN/NOPI is hosting the Miami event indoors. Thats a relief since Florida summer time weather is either brutally hot, really wet, or a combination of the two. Be on the lookout, for the Titan crew, as they will be at the event handing out goodie bags and what not.

Check out the pictures form Titan’s Dyno Day/Sale. The day was dedicated to getting our customers some baseline pulls on their cars at discounted rates. We also had tons of sales on popular items as well as excess inventory/clearance items. We were fortunate enough to have Chris Fiore at the event who took some great pictures of all the action. Check out Chris Fiore Photography for all the pics! Be on the lookout for more upcoming Dyno Days and Titan Sales.

If you’re a sports car racing fan then chances are you’ve heard of GMG Racing and their ALMS Porsche Cup cars. In addition to their racing efforts, they also produce a great deal of parts for street cars looking to take the track. We’ve had great luck with their Roll bars and suspension components in our test car in the past, so when I was in the area I decided to stop by their shop and see it with my own eyes. I was greeted by Fabryce, the man in charge of this world class shop and he was nice enough to take a few moments to show me around. The second you walk into the shop you are overwhelmed. Porsche Cup cars, stacked 2 high in some areas, along with street Porsches, Audis, and Ferrari or two, you name it and it’s under one roof. They have all the equipment you’ll need to setup the ultimate street or race car from their 4WD dyno cell (which may look familiar if you’ve seen the LFA commercial on TV), A dialed alignment rack, fabrication center, and even a 3D printer for quick prototyping.

The main entry, interestingly enough GMG Racing just happens to be across the street from Porsche Motorsports NA headquarters, that’s one neighbor I wouldn’t mind having!

Team GMG’s GT3 Cup car, built and campaigned in the American LeMans series. Want a cup car of your own? You’re in luck, this one is for sale. Inquire within.

This gem was sitting in the back corner of the shop, most would have walked past it as just another cup car….however GT3Cups normally don’t have intercoolers. GMG is building something most have only dreamed of, a GT2 turbo engine powered GT3 Cup car. I’m anxious to see this complete and must admit that I don’t think many cars will be able to compete with this monster in the time attack and time trials it’s being designed and built for.

GMG produced a great Roll bar / harness bar kit for the 996/997, we’ve got one in our Camo car and must admit it was a super easy install that looked and performed better than even the factory Porsche Techquipment bar. Definately a must if you’re got a 996tt / 997tt / GT3 or GT3RS that your interested in taking to the track, and fortunately these are available in a variety of colors for sale and install through Titan.

GMG has also started working with Japanese cars through one of their sister companies, and this GTR turbo kit is one of their first offerings. This cast inconel manifold features v-band turbochargers available in various sizes designed for specific purposes. It will be offered as a complete kit in the near future once testing is complete, and we look forward to installing quite a few of these for Florida GTR owners looking to increase the power of their own Godzillas.

GMG recently released their own forged lightweight wheels for track and street. New GT3 owners need not worry, they also introduced a single-nut version for those of you who are fortunately enough to have this option from the factory. Titan Motorsports can also get these fine wheels for you and can match them with your choice of tires for track or street.

I want to thank Fabryce for taking the time to show me around, GMG is truly one of the shops in this country that others can use as a benchmark. We’re proud to have them as a technology and resource partner and look forward to growing this relationship in the future. If you’re in the west be sure to check out the Global Tuner Grand Prix at Laguna Seca they’re putting together October 22-24, this is one of the rare track days at Laguna with no sound restrictions.

Most consumers haven’t heard of Mackin Industries, however they have heard of Project Mu / Volk Racing / Advan and MXP, just a few of the many companies Mackin is the US importer for.

The TE37 is one of the most timeless wheels in history in my opinion, having seeing them on every car under the sun for over 10 years, it still turns my head to see a proper fitment of this wheel today. This singelock racing version of TE37 Mag is king of the hill when it comes to the TE, and in my opinion would be a great offering for newer GT3 and GT3RS’s which now come from the factory with single nut hubs.

Anyone whose ever ordered a set of Volk wheels knows that if they’re not in stock you’re in for a long wait, Mackin has tried to alleviate this by stocking row upon row of Volk here in the states to help cut lead times.

Rays Engineering has a history of building quality race wheels, not many wheel companies, even those considered the best in the industry can say they produce formula 1 wheels. This project is a testament to the quality and pursuit of perfection Volk / Rays puts into their product, I’m just surprised someone hasn’t tried to get a set of these and go HellaFlush on their Civic with them!

Project Mu is looking to make a big push here in the states and become a household name, as a result Mackin has brought in a ton of new inventory to make sure brakes are there when a customer needs them (as we all know brakes unlike wheels aren’t an item you can wait for, when you need them you need them).

Recently Mackin introduced their own Exhaust line, MXP Exhaust. This high quality line is available for a variety of vehicles and produced using only the highest quality of materials, with weight, sound, and aesthetics all taken into consideration with every exhaust produced.

Mackin offers a custom finishing service for those looking to be extra original, these finishing are done in California by Mackin, not Volk, but offer a great alternative to waiting for those wanting to be a little different.

I want to thank the guys at Mackin for the tour, if you’re in the market for any of the products they offer please don’t hesitate to call or email one of our sales people. Mackin does not sell to the public, however fortunately we do, and we will be more than happy to make sure you get the TE37s or any other product you’ve been dreaming of as quickly as humanly possible.

We made something for you. Our XTF Scion has been tearing up the scene in ADRL and we thought we’d share with you. Enjoy.

As the resident Euro fanatic at Titan Motorsports, I’ve been a fan of Vorsteiner’s products for quite some time. Vorsteiner specializes in producing high quality aftermarket parts designed to compliment most modern BMWs, Porches,Mercedes and even Bentley. They balance the fine line required to improve cars that already start out as those which dreams are made of, all while improving the visual and performance aspects of the vehicles. We’ve been a dealer for some time as you might remember the Red Carrera S we built earlier this year featuring their products, however we look forward to expanding our relationship further. While on a tour of Southern California I knew my trip wouldn’t be complete without a stop by their headquarters and manufacturing facility in . Vorsteiner’s motto is “Perfection Redefined”, something that is apparent from the second you pull into the parking lot, to entering the building and seeing their pursuit of perfection with every aspect of their office,operations, and product development. In the past I’ve been turned off by most body enhancements, however Vorsteiner has always been the exception, using premium products and great design to enhance factory body lines not distract from it. The end results are cars that look like a steroid injected versions of what the factory should have produced, given less restraints in a desire to appease the masses.

This beautiful Porsche Panamera was sitting front and center in the parking lot, while currently only sporting Vorsteiner’s latest wheels, it’s due for a complete makeover in the coming weeks. Having seen the renderings, I must admit the future body offerings for this vehicle take a sporty sedan, and turn it into a true sport scar with 4 doors.

Next to the Panamera were 2 M3s, a stock white one and the menacing olive drab green GTRS3 version. As someone who likes to look towards at old military machinery for inspiration (see our camo 996tt), this vehicle struck a cord with me. The GTRS3 Package consists of replacement carbon fiber front bumper, with modular splitter, extended front fenders, side skirts, rear quart panel extensions, and a matching widened rear bumper with integrated carbon diffuser. The kit also includes Vorsteiner’s V-308 modular 3 pieces wheel set, which feature concave faces and big lips that rival any wheel I’ve seen in the aftermarket in terms of quality and great fitment. These same wheels can be specced and ordered for many other makes and models, in just about any color combination you can come up with. Andreas informed me that in the coming weeks the white car will get it’s window sticker removed, and receive the same GTRS3 wide body kit, with a more subtle color treatment.

Vorsteiner also produced a high quality line of parts geared towards the premium Japanese cars such as the GTR and Lexus ISF branded through their sister company Ventross. At Titan Motorsports we’re proud to be one of the premier Vorsteiner and Ventross dealers in the Southeast. We look forward to further expanding this great relationship in the future, stay tuned as Nero’s M3 gets some much needed Vorsteiner love in the coming weeks.
