A 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass drew a lot of attention at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Cutlass was in storage for ten years, rusted and busted, but its owner held onto it, along with his dream to restore it. Fabian Rodriguez of Fresno, California finally made his dream come true with a little help from builder Dave Fishman Rivera.
“I finally met the right people and now we have our own spot at the DUB Booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center,” said Rodriguez. “The Fishman is known for his work on Rapper DJ Scribbles ride and DUB asked him to bring my Olds to SEMA.”
Rodriguez only wanted the best parts on his Cutlass. That included a K&N air filter. “K&N flows air and keeps
the nasty particles out of my carburetor,” he said. “I’ve always used K&N and my cars hit the road screaming.”
Other modifications include:
502 HP GM Crate Motor
Turbo 400 Transmission
150 shot of Nitrous
22 inch ID Luxury 3 Piece Wheels
5 inch front lip
7 inch rear lip

“My Oldsmobile should make close to 800 horsepower,” said Rodriguez. “I can’t wait to drive it for the first time. We started it, we pushed it but we did not roll it. My 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass did not have one mile on it on display at the SEMA Show.”
Rodriguez is an insurance agent, but said cars are his dream. “It’s important for everyone who wants to do this to be patient and find the right builder,” he said. “Dreams do come true.”
Performance, fuel-efficiency, and lower emissions make it is easy to love BMW’s new advanced diesel technology. For years the global market has known about the fuel-efficiency advantage diesel engines have to offer.
K&N Part Number 33-2959 for the 2007-2013 BMW X5 diesel, and 2008-10 X6 with 3.0-liter Diesel Engines.
BMW X6 On Display. K&N now offers a lifetime air filter for the 2007-2013 BMW X5, and 2008-10 X6 with 3.0-liter Diesel Engines.
Yet, diesels engines have held the reputation of being slow and dirty. BMW, and several other manufacturers, have made it their goal to change that notion.
BMW’s X5 with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel engine is capable of accelerating nearly as fast as its 4.8-liter V8 engine counterpart. Plus, the 3.0-liter diesel engine consumes considerably less fuel than even the X5’s 3.0-liter gasoline-powered sibling.
This combination of performance, fuel-efficiency, and reduced emissions is why a BMW advanced diesel was named “2008 World Green Car Of The Year” by a jury of automotive journalists at the 2008 New York International Auto Show.
Here to help the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 BMW X5, and the 2008, 2009, and 2010 BMW X6 with 3.0-liter L6 diesel engines run better is K&N’s new air filter, part number 33-2959. K&N air filters provide less restriction than typical paper air filters, which can increase the efficiency of the combustion process. Allowing your engine to breathe easier can give your car extra horsepower and extra acceleration that can come in handy, even during every day driving. The simple drop in design makes a K&N replacement air filter an easy, and ecological, performance add-on.
Made from cotton instead of paper, this air filter never needs to be replaced. 33-2959 will require cleaning every 50,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions. It will provide outstanding engine protection for the life of your vehicle, and since it never needs to be replaced, part number 33-2959 will help to reduce waste.
Custom 2009 Hyundai Genesis Coupe with K&N Air Filter
Lux Motorwerks is a full automotive restyling shop that handles everything from performance enhancements to upholstery, audio systems, paint and custom body work. K&N met up with Stephen Stasiulewicz of Lux Motorwerks at the 2009 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, where his custom 2009 Hyundai Genesis coupe was on display. "This was my fourth SEMA event and the fourth that I have built and displayed vehicles for," mentioned Stasiulewicz. "I started modifying vehicles in 1996 and have been doing it professionally for the past 10 years."

Stasiulewicz's has an overflowing passion for the modified car industry that pours into the innovative work he delivers through Lux Motorwerks. Vehicle manufacturers continue to support his skillful work by providing vehicles to modify and display at SEMA. "The vehicles here at SEMA are actually owned by their manufacturers," Stasiulewicz adds, "they are for show use only."
The Lux Motorwerks Hyundai Genesis was placed in the main entrance walkway where SEMA spectators gathered around custom vehicles to catch a glimpse of high-end performance and style. "There was so much time that went into the vehicle to prepare for SEMA," said Stasiulewicz, "a lot of work and sleepless nights."

The 2009 Hyundai Genesis coupe is equipped with a K&N air filter. "We use K&N products on our customer's cars because we like to offer them the best products in the industry," Stasiulewicz said. "K&N is a company we can stand behind and a company our clients know and trust." Stasiulewicz and Lux Motorwerks builds have been featured in magazines such as Rides, 0-60, Antenna and Performance VW.
"Recently we built a completely re-styled 2007 Chevrolet Suburban," Stasiulewicz commented. "We used a K&N air intake system and the fitment was spot on. I have been using K&N products since I started modding cars. I only want to use the best quality products. Performance of all K&N products we've used definitely live up to our expectations. Our clients are satisfied every time and that makes us happier than you would know."
Stasiulewicz and Lux Motorwerks plan to continue creating high quality custom vehicles to build on their already outstanding reputation. "We work hard on paying attention to every detail on everything we do," Stasiulewicz concludes. "We have put together an impressive team and we hope to continue to grow during these hard times.

Wyld Bore Racing uses K&N X-Stream filter RX-3800 on his Kart
All things begin somewhere. A drop of water becomes a stream - becomes a river. Kart racers become NASCAR legends. Heck, it's fair to assume pretty much all racecar drivers at some point find themselves with their butts a mere inch off the asphalt racing Karts. It is after all the natural order of things.
Kart racer Jonathon Little of Wyld Bore Racing
"Jonathon Little is an excellent racer," says his mother, Sherry. "He won senior champ kart in '08. Finances have held us back in '09 though from making another realistic run at a championship. We will continue to race in hopes that someone will recognize his potential, and they will help to teach him more about racing. His dream is to become a NASCAR driver."
For the Littles' racing is a family bonding activity. Jonathon's thirteen-year-old sister, Brittany, has mad skills of her own. "Brittany, who is thirteen, takes our photos (she gets photo credits for the pictures on this page)," declares a justifiably proud Sherry. "If she keeps going, she will be able to take photos that will be printed anywhere and catch the eye. As a matter of fact, she already does. She is fantastic with a camera."
"Five years ago, it was Ray's (father/husband) birthday and our friend, Drew, traced an outline of a wild boar for him. The more we looked at it, the more we liked it, and so we decided to use it for our logo. We took the drawing to another artist to do the graphics and we had him refine the drawing to our liking. Ray wanted the wyld to be spelled like a person's last name, and then he had the bore spelled like a bore in the cylinder, it's a racing thing," explains Sherry, regarding their noteworthy logo and team name.
Wyld Bore Racing hopes to position Jonathon for another serious championship run in the 2010 season
"We use K&N X-Stream filters (Part #RX-3800), and always will now. This filter provides the best airflow - especially the faster the kart goes, the more air forces into the filter, which creates like a reverse tornado effect. It is like having a motor with a turbo charger on it, but actually not having one. We tried other name brands, but when we started using the K&N filter, we got even better motor response, better lap times, and the motor runs cooler. The motor runs so much cooler in fact that I tape up the blower housing," adds the crew chief Ray.
"Even if K&N was not a sponsor, I would still use their product, no kidding. K&N has been very good to us as a sponsor. We run K&N colors on our karts, our trailer, our truck, and of course our race jackets. We are very proud to have K&N Filters as our sponsor. We would like to proceed with K&N Filters as our sponsor in 2010 season as well."
"We hope to be able to position Jonathon for another serious championship run in the 2010 season. We will need some luck as well as financial support in order to do that though. We would also like to place Jonathon in a car called the Slingshot. He replaced a driver in '08 and he won that race. It was the first time Jon was ever in a Slingshot too."
