We originally started a five lug conversion for this Colt to fit some larger wheels with a different lug pattern. Our attention soon turned to the old factory calipers and mounts that would now be incompatible. Our options at this point are to use a set of OEM Mitsubishi Eclipse calipers or to look towards the aftermarket for a solution. We decided that switching out to larger Wilwood calipers, some OEM IS300 rotors and a pair of custom caliper brackets would solve our issue of fitment. The added braking power will make this little Colt much safer on the street and more competitive on the autocross circuit.

This is a Boost Logic T6 front mount intercooler for Josh’s widebody Supra project. After the previous Greddy 4 row intercooler was damaged and found to be discontinued, it seemed like a great time to get this massive replacement. This is the largest one available for the MKIV without cutting of the frame or bumper supports and the sheer size is impressive. The core size is 5″ deep, 27 1/2″ wide & 13″ tall and capable of supporting over 1500 RWHP. This is a BIG piece to a fast puzzle.

An aspect commonly over looked is driver seating position. Off-the-shelf brackets will mount your new seats but will they be comfortable, in the safest position or provide the best view possible? Batlground offers custom seat brackets for most any car, seat and customer position preference. To fabricate two brackets and install both seats would be $300(+tax) for most cars, turn around time is usually one day. Feel free to call us with any questions or to schedule an appointment. Our number is 770-319-9605 or email us at batlground@gmail.com

We managed to find more weight that could be removed from our IS300 drift project. The hood weighed in at 35lbs before modifications, after cutting out the inner shell 10lbs was shaved from the nose of the car. It does not sound like much, but after doing this on multiple parts of the car, the overall weight can be reduced greatly. After removing the skeleton of the hood we ran into issues about how to hold the hood up. Our solution was to modify the hinges so that the hood now lays nicely on the windshield providing full access to the engine bay.

Batlground is now offering our steering knuckle exchange program. Bring us your S-13 or S-14 stock steering knuckles.
Our modified knuckles are fully TIG welded and extremely strong. These will allow for much more steering angle at full lock as well as quicker steering, excellent for drifting. We offer these with or without additional tie rod drop. Lowering the tie rod mount will correct bad steering geometry for lowered vehicles.
Drop of your stock knuckles and pick up our modified knuckles for $300. We can also perform this service for other types of vehicles. Please give us a call for details 770-319-9605 or drop us an email batlground@gmail.com

The transformation from an air cooled Porsche to water cooled Porsche has begun. Since the 914 is getting a turbo EJ20, the car needs to have a radiator to cool the engine.With the engine in the back, the front was sealed off for storage. We cut out sections of the front of the car so that air can now enter and pass over the radiator. The 2 boxes are mock up for the radiator and fuel cell. The bar is in place so that the chassis will not flex too much while we are making everything since we cut out the factory bar to make room for the fuel cell. In case you are wondering, the air will exit through vents in the hood. Ducting, and vents to be added later.
