Sept 25th, 2021
If the trend a few years ago was limitless imagination for SEMA-type builds, maybe it’s time for things to shift towards the execution again…Hear me out.

Nov 2nd, 2021

Nov 4th, 2021
Every year, as the dust settles from the annual SEMA sEvery time you stomp your way through the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the annual SEMA pilgrimage you’re met with a mixed bag of eye candy. Some builds are incredibly focused, high-level examples of performance clever craftsmanship, while others are wild spectacles pieced together with the intent of hearing “oohs and ahhs” from attendees. Within that mix, there are some gems that can slip right through the cracks if you’re not in the know or simply a victim of sensory overload…

Nov 29th, 2021
Every year, as the dust settles from the annual SEMA show there are a handful of crowd favorites that continue making the rounds on social media and have everyone talking. For SEMA’s 2021 return earlier this month, one of those vehicles is CSF Cooling’s Porsche 911, a high dollar, highly detailed build meshing a classic feel with modern technology and spared no expense.

For Ravi Dolwani, owner of CSF, builders of heat exchangers for aftermarket and OEM applications, the assembly line was just a starting point…

Unlike many stylized Porsches, Ravi’s car has much more than a pretty face. Let’s take a look inside this marvelous machine…

Sema should be pleased that ravi dowani, a 35-year-old porsche enthusiast and founder/director of csf race, a high-performance cooling company based in southern california, took those words to heart. In december 2020, dowani set about building a 911 sc rsr the right way for the 2021 sema show.

The ranks of air-cooled Porsches in Los Angeles swelled noticeably in the week leading up to Luftgekühlt this year, as enthusiasts from all across the country converged on San Pedro for an eighth outing of the exclusive automotive gathering.

Creating a Legacy: CSF’s Singer-Rivaling Air-Cooled Porsche 911
Apr 28th, 2023
Wherever you put your attention is likely where you will find yourself. Ravi Dolwani, the owner of CSF Cooling, has admittedly put his attention in many places — even behind the decks as a DJ if his Instagram handle didn’t give that away. But where he put his mind nearly two years ago was likely one of his most ambitious destinations: an air-cooled Porsche 911.
Truthfully, about a billion cumulative mods end up making the CSF 911 special, but at the end of the day, Dolwani really had nothing to prove to us. By this point, he has already created four-figure horsepower 991 Turbos, an S55-swapped E30 M3, several successful track cars, and a business boasting over $10 million in annual revenue. This project meant something more: an opportunity to create a legacy….
