Ultime Notizie

Squeeze Box is a modern throw-back to the iconic Honda Trail 70

Pfaff’s creative juices for this build began to flow when he studied Honda’s cool and compact Grom 125. The diminutive play-bike has been praised by virtually everyone who has straddled its low seat. What Pfaff saw when he looked at the Grom was the kindred spirit it shared with its ancestors from the 1970s. “Since I saw my first Grom dual-sport, I knew it was the perfect donor for something really cool,” said Pfaff. “And since I was never allowed my own mini-bike as a kid I wanted to make up for it by building the ultimate Trail 70.”

The build's silouette is mix of generational elements decades apart

The top-mounted shock and K&N filter are signature elements of the project

While Murray Pfaff is clearly the creative force behind Squeeze Box, he is quick to credit the other craftsmen who worked on the build. Steve Germond assisted in the welding and fabrication and Tom Stark did much of the machining. That striking paint and graphic scheme is the handiwork of John Mijal.

Eye candy was everywhere at the Festival of Speed in Scottsdale

That's a K&N filter in the pristine engine compartment of a classic Camaro

Both closed-course racers and street-legal exotics were on display

The small cluster of Ducati classics drew crowds. Yes, that's a K&N on the beautiful L-twin

The festival was a spectacular gathering in every way. In addition to the pure joy the event was for both attendees and owners, the Festival of Speed had a higher purpose. All of the proceeds of the perfectly staged event went to Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Take a look below for some images of the eye candy on display at the 9th Annual Scuderia Southwest Festival of Speed. (All photos by Tim Kessel)

The K&N PS-7035 cartridge oil filter is engineered for the 2015 and 2016 Hyundai Genesis.

Introduced in March 2007, the Hyundai Genesis was conceived in 2003. It took Hyundai three years to perfect the body design and the total cost of the project to create the car was $500 million over a 23-month development period.

It is said that the Korean automaker was trying to create its answer to the BMW 5-Series sedan. In fact, in the press release that announced the introduction of the car, Hyundai claimed that the Genesis exceeded the BMW in torsional rigidity by 14%.

Four engines were available to power the front-engine, rear-wheel drive sedan - a 3.3-liter Lambda V6, a 3.8-liter Lambda V6, a 4.6-liter Tau V8 and a 5.0-liter Tau V8. Three transmissions were available including a 6-speed Aisin B-600 automatic, a 6-speed ZF 6HP26 automatic, and an 8-speed automatic.

The 2015 Hyundai Genesis was totally redesigned. The full size, rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan comes with a choice of two engines - a 3.8-liter V6 that delivers 311-horsepower and 293-lb-ft of torque and a 5.0-liter V8 that produces 420-horsepower and 383-lb-ft of torque. It is also available in all-wheel drive.

Standard features of the Genesis sedan include 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, a rearview camera, heated mirrors, automatic wipers, cruise control, automatic climate control, keyless ignition and entry, heated eight-way power front seats with four-way power lumbar, leather upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a touchscreen interface, navigation system, real-time traffic, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, Hyundai’s Blue Link emergency telematics system, a seven-speaker audio system with a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack, USB/iPod interface, HD radio and satellite radio.

Specifically engineered for the 2015 and 2016 Hyundai Genesis, the K&N PS-7035 Pro Series cartridge oil filter features a high flow filter design to improve performance. It is versatile. It can be used on any type of oil including synthetic, conventional, or blended. It is engineered to offer superior filtration, which allows it to capture and hold 99% of harmful contaminants. The media material is pleated offering more surfaces to provide high filtration capacity. This allows the filter to be used longer than many conventional oil filters. It also includes a durable nitrile rubber gasket.

The K&N PS-7035 cartridge oil filter is designed to fit the following vehicle applications:

2016 HYUNDAI GENESIS SEDAN 3.8L V6 Fuel Injection - All Models
2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS SEDAN 3.8L V6 Fuel Injection - All Models
2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS 5.0L V8 Fuel Injection - All Models
