Here are some random shots of some cars we had in the shop this week.
From the photos you’ll see that we work on pretty much anything and everything, from 3 Cylinder Turbos to the big old V8s and everything in between.

Just a quick update of what’s new and not so new. Ive just been a bit lazy.
About 2 months ago Brad from Dr Stitch got started on the trim in our MY99 WRX, keeping with the red, white and black theme we got him to trim the roof lining and pillars in red suede. Next will be the seats, once the material arrives.
Next up is Julie’s SXHEVN S14 200SX, we have been looking after her car for a little while now and finally managed to get some photos of it. And incase you hadn’t noticed we also look after her partners car, Adam’s MXHEVN Mazda MX-5
Most of the time the jobs we get are pretty smooth sailing but every now and then things go pear shaped. Heres one job we started on but due to unforeseen circumstances we didn’t get the chance to finish.

SIDS and KIDS charity car show was held a Mt. Druitt. last Sunday.
So we though we would go down with some of the guys and show off the cars and help the organisers raise some money for a good cause.
The weather was perfect, there was a mix of late model “Sex Spec” styled cars, aussie muscle cars, rotaries and some awesome hot rods.
All in all it was a top day and proved once again that not all car enthusiasts are HOONS.
After have a shocking day with the camera i managed to get a couple decent shots out of it.

Brodie’s Civic always ends up getting something new even after telling everyone “its finished” countless times, hence its nick name “The never ending story”
He managed to get his hands on one of the last BRAND NEW sets of genuine AME Modelart Excellants in the world, got a fresh lick of Mazda pearl white paint, then bought a pair of Sparco bucket seats for the front.
With the bright red seats in the front the rest of the trim looked a bit bland so he came and saw us to see what could be done to tie the whole car together.
We got Brad from Dr. Stitch Customs to work his magic and trim the roof lining, A B and C pillars and the parcel tray in red suede then trim the door inserts and rear seat in the same red velour as the Sparco buckets. He even mirrored the trim pattern from the Sparcos on to the rear seat to make sure everything flowed nicely.
Next on the list is a B16A VTEC conversion and detailed engine bay.

News just the YF34RR R34 we finished recently visited W.S.I.D. last night
with 297 kw and on street tyres it ran a 12.8 second pass, we should see these times drop with a good set of tyres and some more track time.

When we first opened we got an S2000 repaired and resprayed by Brian at Smashtech for a customer but unfortunately never got to take any pics of it to post up here.
The car has since been sold and we caught up with the new owner and finally got some photos.

The guys down at QSR decided it was time that everyone got together for a cruise before winter hit. So Jane got stuck in and organised the whole shebang. A MASSIVE thanks goes out to Jane for all the hard work she put in to arrange an awesome day.
The Day Started off in Campbelltown where close to 250 cars met up to begin the cruise down to Woollongong.
Once we arrived, parking was a bit tight and as per usual the fuzz came down and rained on our parade.
But at the end of the day it was a refreshing change to the normal George Street “car park” we all frequent on Saturday nights.

Its been a while since our last update, there’s been plenty going on though, more work means less time to update the website.
We had Pete from CDOOSE Kustom Airbrush bring his daily driver Charade in for a quick engine conversion, the 1L was set to go to the scrap yard and in its place went the 1.6L from a Detomaso Charade.
Once we started on it the rest of the boys made us go a bit silly and take things to far like usual hehehe
Some times Pete just cant help himself, he got bored and decided to flame our hoist.

We recently finished another R34 Gt-t with a Plazmaman plenum, GT35R, 6Boost exhaust manifold and a whole bunch of other bolt on mods.
Here’s the result…
A big thanks to Powertune Australia for the tune.
