Icon7 ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW MFactory SFWD Drag Car

Date: 08/15/2014
Announcement: NEW MFactory SFWD Drag Car
Driver: Steve Conley
Best ET: 8.58 @ 182mph
Main Sponsor: DEJA VU II
Primary Sponsors: Competition Clutch, Skunk2, Vibrant Performance, Golden Eagle
Tuning & Maintenance: SpeedFactory Tuning & Race Fabrication

We are proud to present, after over 12 months in development, the new SFWD Drag Car that will be representing the MFactory banner & the West Coast.



During the couple of tuning & test runs at Pacific Raceways, WA, we managed to successfully do back-to-back 8-sec times right off the trailer: 8.8 @ 147mph, 8.8 @ 177mph, 8.64 @ 180mph, 8.58 @ 182mph

Now that the initial tuning & testing is complete, the MFactory SFWD Drag Car will be racing at all major West Coast SFWD Events and, if time allows, alongside James @ SpeedFactory and Javier @ Hondata at some of the major East Coast Events to represent the West Coast.

The car will be used as a test bed (alongside our other sponsored race cars) for the development of new parts designed specifically for the motorsports market including, but not limited to:

- MFactory B-Series Drag Racing Dog Gear Set with choice of FD Ratios (ETA End of Sep)
- MFactory B-Series Forged Bellhousing
- MFactory B-Series & K-Series 28-Spline Helical LSD for DSS Pro Axle setups (ETA End of Sep)
- MFactory eDiff (Electronically-controlled locking differential)
- MFactory Sequential Shifter
- MFactory Stage 2 (700whp) and Stage 3 (1000whp) Racing Axles

The second half of 2014 and beyond look very promising, with our comeback to SFWD Drag Racing solidified with our new car.

We would not have been able to come this far without the help & support of our sponsors:

- DEJA VU II: Ogden, UT's premier Tattoo Shop
- Competition Clutch: The US's fastest growing Clutch Manufacturer
- Skunk2: Some of the best engine components available for your Honda/Acura
- Vibrant Performance: The Source for Professional Fabrication Components
- Golden Eagle: One of the best Sleeving Companies in the Industry
- SpeedFactory Tuning & Race Fabrication: Simply the Best Tuning & Fabrication Shop on the West Coast

Stay tuned for more updates

Not all of the listed parts are being tested on this specific car (they are/will be tested on our other sponsored race cars, as mentioned).

As the parts are under development, I am limited as to what I can disclose with regards to which products are being used and in which car. We've been through all that before; prototype parts break, word gets out, people start to think our parts are bad (even though they are only prototypes) which ultimately damages our reputation.

Suffice to say though, there are MFactory Drivetrain parts being used/tested in our SFWD Drag Car, and during those "hits".

Great job guys. Stephen if you get a chance drop me an email Luke@team4piston.com

I need to buy another diff for a spare for my second car ASAP. We've been running an MF diff since day one and never had an issue.
