 Warren Gainsmith and co-driver Jenny Cole had a stunning drive in the Official Rally Event of the Clipsal 500 Adelaide. The grueling event took four days and covered 1100 km! A hard enough drive when visiting the relatives, this race was chock full of tricky road navigation, autotests and speed events all combined together. With a well prepped car, Gainsmith and Cole were up to the challenge, posting some fab times on each day. Day 1: 572.5, Day 2: 311.0, Day 3: 481.0, Day 4: 491.0 - good for a Total:1855.5. And good for the win! |

 The first motorsport event for the year is always filled with a fair mix of anticipation and anxiety. These sensations are made worse by a break from racing of almost two years. Big thanks must go to the team at AVO for the meticulous preparation of my Circuit Sprint (Time Attack) ’96 WRX as anxiety turned to exhilaration within the first few laps of the track.
Preparation of the car included a couple of dyno runs focused on optimising the current upgrades and a general service and pre-race check of all key components. The idea was to go for maximum reliability and use the first event as a bit of a shake-down to get a feel for what direction we should take with the future upgrades. The tune delivered over 30 kilowatts more at the wheels at quite conservative boost levels - a great way to start the season! |

 AVO Australia will this year be sponsoring another front running car, with all our performance parts and engineering in the vehicle.
Clayton Sinclair's '95 WRX Race Car will participate in the 2008 Victorian WRX Club Championship. He was very successful in 2006 although did not complete in last year's championship. He currently holds 3 out of the 4 Open Class lap records. He is hoping to knock another second or two off these times this season. The first round starts this weekend at Winton Raceway. He is optimistic about beating his time but concludes that it may be a tall order this weekend as he has been out of the vehicle for over 12 months. |

 The 2008 Tokyo Auto Salon has to be the most interesting Auto Salon in recent history, with not one, but 3 new sports sedans debuting at the show. The new Subaru Impreza WRX STI, the new EVO X, and the Skyline GT-R were fighting for attention from every corner. All these exciting new vehicles was really revving up the crowd! You cannot blame them either, it's been far too many years since the Skyline GT-R was even available for sale, and it's been a while since a new STI or EVO as well! The AVO Turboworld Subaru S-GT (WRX overseas) was on display at the show with our TMIC, exhaust, intake and ECU modifications. Brand new 18" Rays wheels were shod with Goodyear tyres.

 AVO Japan recently completed a testing session at Tsukuba Circuit with the new AVO Impreza WRX. Within a few laps the AVO driver laid down a blistering 1.08, only a bare two seconds off of the heavily modified AVO Legacy GT. And this time was accomplished with only a TMIC, intake, and cat-back muffler upgrade along with our new coilover suspension. Indeed, the new Impreza takes to modifications *very* well, and it looks to be easy to make as fast as a stock 08 STI around Tsukuba Circuit. Impreza Magazine of Japan showed up as well, running a story on the track session and the new upgrades to the Impreza. |
