Yes, Autosport Labs is a garage business. One of tens of thousands across this country – and world- that, in aggregate, are making the next industrial revolution. And, the time has finally come where we take that substantial step forward, make that big investment and affirm: “this is much more real”. After many months of…

Megajolt Exposed!
I’ve been kicking around the idea of illustrating the birth of a Megajolt Lite Jr. (MJLJ) Programmable Ignition Controller. While fulfilling a significant order for one of our major distributors, Boost Engineering, I was inspired to snap a picture of a work in progress. Yes, it’s a step mid-process in the assembly. And trust me,…
Bringing sexy back with new Megajolt2 enclosure!
We received our first evaluation batch of cases for Megajolt2. We’re bringing sexy back with a new enclosure design- RED, better aesthetics, and with built-in heat sink finning. I must say, they’re pretty hot. What do you think?
Chasing in the dark
Doubt, the cold Halloween night air, and my balaclava diffusing every exhalation were resulting in the persistent fogging of my glasses (why hadn’t I thought of this?). I’m the second driver of the Autosport Lab Rats Team that’s about to be sacrificed to the night during the inaugural Chumpcar race at Portland International Raceway. The…
ARSE-FREEZE-APALOOZA 2009
The last time some of the Autosport Labs’ team members headed to Thunderhill Raceway our reverie of racing was impinged by the news that the car we had helped to prepare and planned to compete would not be joining us.

LabRat tarted up!
Our talented artist and driver John Kimball recently invested in his own vinyl printer and used our LabRat as his blank slate. We are loving the results! We’ll let the graphics speak for themselves. Well done, sir Do you know the significance of number 82? A self documenting race car My personal favorite. More like…
Six Pack Progress
Were making some progress on the upgrade to the 240z. The Triple Weber 40 DOCE’s, Cannon intake and 3-2-1 tubular exhaust are on and the car is running. Sounds great too! Throttle linkage was a bit of a challenge but we beat our heads against the nearby wall for a while until that issue was…
Hair you go
Tragically, Scott misinterprets Brent’s “Look at me!” gesture as a public request for grooming.
