The back story to the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) / Irish People's Liberation Organization (IPLO) feud is complicated and stems from the Supergrass Trials of the early 1980s in which high ranking INLA man Harry Kirkpatrick who sentenced dozens of people away to prison on Kirkpatrick's word alone. One of those sent to prison because of Kirkptarick was Gerard Steenson, the INLA Belfast Brigade's leader & potential for next in line to be the leader of the organization.
Around this same time 1983 - 1984 the INLA started suffering on the military front, not able to put the plans & operations together from 1978 - 1983 period that hard turned them into a respectable & feared urban gurrilla/terrorist organization.
People left the INLA like Gerard Steenson and Jimmy Brown and others were expelled for their views on how the group should be run.
The IPLO's new manifestio was to destroy the INLA & IRSP leadership as they believed that group was no longer dedicated to revolutionary socialism and make the IPLO & their small political group the Republican Socialist Collective as the main Irish Republican Socialist Movement (IRSM) in Ireland.
On the 21 December 1987 the IPLO strcuk first blood, killing Tomas McCartan (31). Although moderates on both sides wanted to resolve the problem incase it turned out like the mid 70's with and Sticks, or the mid - late 70's INLA vs Sticks.
On the 20 January 1987 it looked like senior members were going to put a stop to the internal Republican feud. At the Rosnaree Hotel shooting there was a senior delegate from both the IPLO & INLA, but little went according to plan at least for the INLA, and the IPLO volunteers opened fire & INLA delegates which included Hugh Torney was badly injured aand other INLA Volunteers, Thomas "Ta" Power was killed outright along with INLA volunteer John O'Reilly.
Up until March the feud had been mostly one way traffic with most killings being carried out by IPLO men against INLA Volunteers, but on the 7 March the INLA killed IPLO man Thomas Maguire near the village Meigh in County Armagh. A week later and a day before the shooting in Ballymurphy the INLA shot dead IPLO man Fergus Conlon near Forkhill in Armagh. It's believed Conlon had been interogatted by before he was killed.
Shootinng/Ambush
INLA & IPLO leaders had been talking and decided that a truce should be arraenged. IPLO leader Steenson and another IPLO volunteer droove to Springhill Avenue, an estate in Ballymurphy. But when they got to the point about were they were supposed to meet the INLA delegate, between 3 - 4 INLA volunteers with pistols riddled the car with bullets, hitting both IPLO volunteers numerous times.
The Ambush was in revenge for the Steenson led ambush in 20 January 1987 at the Rosnaree Hotel shooting
The INLA said in a statement after the shootings "Mr. Steenson had been killed for his continuous and concerted efforts to undermine the authority of the republican socialist movement."
In revenge for the Ballymurphy ambush, the IPLO killed two more INLA volunteers, on the 21 March INLA Vol. Emmanuel Gargan was shot dead in a bar in the Ormeau road. The day later on the 22 March Kevin Duffy's body was found in a children's playground in Armagh.
Four days later the feud ended on the 26 March 1987, 11 people lost their lives in the feud & about another dozen were injured.
The much larger Irish Republican group the Provisional IRA denounced the groups feuding as "psuedo patriots".

Project Car Tuner Magazine is a DIY-enthusiast oriented car magazine. The magazine places a strong emphasis on using cars as well as parts that the average reader can afford and modify themselves.
General information
Project Car first began with an issue in winter of 2006, with further issues to follow. The first three issues were published under Primedia, with subsequent issues produced under the Source Interlink Media merger. It was originally published quarterly, then became bi-monthly, but eventually returned to the quarterly format. The magazine began with Ricky Chu, then current editor of Super Street Magazine, as editor and William Law, who made his garage and driveway available for use for the project vehicles (which was fitting, as most readers would be using their own driveways for similar purposes). After Ricky Chu's departure after the magazine's fourth issue, Gary Narusuwa was gradually phased in as editor.
The early magazines contained three project vehicles per issue, and generally featured the step-by-step installation of bolt-on parts and other general upgrades. However, as deadlines became harder to meet and the magazine's base of readers requested more in-depth information and custom fabrication work, later issues shifted to primarily focusing on one vehicle, with another vehicle being briefly featured later in the issue.
Project vehicles
Project Car primarily focuses on import vehicles that fit within the import tuner customization and racing industry. However, the magazine has also featured other vehicles usually not featured in such magazines, such as the Ford Focus, Chevy Cavalier, Volkswagen Golf, Honda Accord, Saturn SC2, etc. The majority of vehicles featured are chosen under the criteria that they are vehicles which readers are most likely to be able to afford.
Notable projects
* The 'Wunderdog' - a Honda CRX powered by a D16 engine which was removed from a dumpster and enhanced with a turbo kit assembled from junkyard parts. It later underwent a further transformation into a show car, winning 'Best EF' at various import car shows.
* Project Black Flag - A 1994 Nissan Sentra SE-R, modified for a Super Lap Battle Event. It went on to compete and place well in an official event, competing among vehicles built with much higher budgets.
* Project Leopard - An Infiniti M30 converted to specs close to an R31 Nissan Skyline, receiving an RB25 engine swap as well as a conversion to Nissan 240SX suspension components.
* Project Corolla - A Hachi Roku SR5 Toyota Corolla converted to GTS powertrain with the help of professional drifter Taka Aono.
Notable sections
General Tech
As well as featuring vehicle-specific information, Project Car also contains multiple General Tech articles per issue. These range from topics such as paint and body work, buying a project vehicle, suspension components and geometry, wiring and electrical systems, buying a JDM engine, fluids, welding, differentials, conversions, and even how to get involved in the vehicle aftermarket industry.
Readers' Rides
Beginning with Issue #4, a section was included with pictures of vehicles submitted by their owners. One of those selected would be the 'Ride of the Month.' The number of cars included varied with each issue. The Readers' Rides section was phased out after issue #15.
DIY Necessities
A running series of articles that began with Issue #2, the DIY section covered basic maintenance tasks for one's vehicle, such as changing various fluids. This series of articles was never completed, with the final installment being made before issue #10.
Competitions
Certain issues of the magazine would be dedicated to friendly rivalries within both the import tuner community and the automotive aftermarket community. These included Honda versus Nissan, Turbo Single-Cam versus Naturally-Aspirated Dual-Overhead-Cam, and turbochargers versus Nitrous Oxide. These issues usually involved half of the magazine staff covering one side, while another documented and worked on the vehicle representing the other.
Featured vehicles
Serving as the spiritual successor to the Readers' Rides section, these articles feature an in-depth look at impressive home-built vehicles, either found locally or submitted by readers.
General writing style
The magazine has multiple writers for various articles, varying from issue to issue. The result is a magazine with varying writing styles throughout. The general tone of the magazine is one of light humor, as the writers often poke fun at one another and the many issues they encounter with their vehicle projects.
The Fall of 2012, Project Car's last issue #24 was released.
