FormulaD Orlando June 4-6 2015

Posted on

The FabricationLife media team got out to experience the recent FormulaD event in Orlando. With plenty of dramatic moments including exploding engines, fires, wall kisses and more, there was plenty to keep the eager fans entertained.

Attendance was great considering the weather didn’t really cooperate with consecutive rain days during both finals. Either way, the crowds were pumped and it provided some entertaining near misses and further reinforced their crazy driving skills.

Check out the recap video and selection of images from the event!

We’ve collected so many great shots – here’s just a few with a focus around the use of Vibrant products, but in general, just an amazing collection of custom work.

Posted on

Cody Header 3

We have seen his video all over the net, but what you didn’t see is the behind-the-scenes aftermath of Cody “LOVEFAB” Loveland’s fiery collision at Pikes Peak.  Just put yourself in the drivers seat on this wild ride.  It was a brief ride, but extremely dangerous with a vicious crash. This could have been deadly had it not been for top notch safety equipment.  That, and proper chassis fabrication, is the only reason this was not a fatal ride that day in Cody’s used-to-be NSX, now coined Enviate.

Octavio’s 801whp stock-sleeve Civic from KMOD.

Posted on
Octavio’s Civic is not hardly a Civic, anymore….

You are not reading wrong. 801hp on stock cylinder sleeves in Octavio’s K-series Civic. The power number and in general, the graph are amazing all the way across the board. Look at that Air Fuel! This thing is nuts. And while possibly a ticking time bomb, as everything eventually can blow up, we are proud to see people push the bar with numbers to truly test the walls of these blocks and the action. Do we have the balls to do it, possibly not, but it is a fun thing to watch for anyone who is a fan of making power and pushing limits to the maximum! Continue reading
