It’s been a busy week for me since the Automania show last Wednesday, but there were a few things of interest there that I wanted to share (Ian & I went to the show, and between the two of us, snapped over 300 photos; some are worth seeing, some not so much, but if you’re interested in the whole schmere, you can have a peek here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

There’s always stuff being shown by different retailers and garages and whatnot, but the display put on by South Side Performance was pretty incredible; I was a bit flabbergasted by what these guys pulled off. Not only did they have a bevy of hot cars to show off, but they also brought out their CNC Water Jet, set it up on the street,<\/em> and set about cutting aluminum key fobs to give away.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The fact that this machine is able to cut metal (up to 8 inches thick) with water and agate is amazing enough, but for these guys to tear the machine down, pull it out of the shop, haul it — and a rented compressor & generator — downtown, set it up on the street (with a chance of rain in the forecast) and hook it all up is over the top. <\/p>\n

As far as I can tell, South Side Performance has no web presence (yet) but there are a number<\/a> of<\/a> YouTube<\/a> videos<\/a> of various cars on their AWD dyno. Here is a little video tour of the shop, which is nice as I’ve driven by the place dozens of times but have never been inside:<\/p>\n

I might have to get to know these guys a little better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
