"The Slumdog Millionaire"

The Slumdog is the original shop car, having gone through many iterations over the years. This car has been the test dummy for many different components from multiple well-known brands and has undergone many different build specifications before landing on it’s current 2.3l closed-deck destroker engine with two mirror Garrett turbo chargers and exhaust emerging out of the hood. From time attack to hill climb, this car has made it’s mark and has helped Mechanical Advantage Racing become the shop it is today.

Tyler Witte: "Gymkhana"

Tyler Originally approached us in need of an engine for his Impreza coupe, after going through several engines supplied from other shops. We finished his sleeved 2.5l and were finally able to get him what he needed, a reliable powerful engine!

Grant Walker "The Thunder Goose"

Grant stepped onto the team to help support "The Slumdog" throughout the 2017 racing season. With his help and dedication he found himself wanting to run his own car. With the help of the team and his drive to push his Miata to the next level, the "Thunder Goose" Build had begun.

Mary Samuel “Blue Steel”

Blue Steel was a project that started when Kendall was accepted to compete in the 2023 101st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Since Slumdog needed a large overhaul to be prepared for that event, we decided to start with more of a clean slate. After a successful run in 2023, Mary took on Blue Steel for the 2024 102nd running of PPIHC, where Kendall gifted the car to her as a wedding present. Blue Steel is a 2000 Impreza L with a 2.3 liter destroker EJ with a Kotouc 6-speed sequential and many custom parts.
