Well, it has all been happening the last couple of months as some of you know.

I am settled in the new place with a nice 2 poster ramp and all my tools now.

This is one of the jobs that inspired the move. A nice Skyline GTS-T

The guy had one that had a few bits done to it, but he bent it badly at a drift day.

He asked me to source another car, transfer some bits over and do some other work.

This was his old car. It was worse than it looks.

I found him a very clean spec 2 at his request that was cheap as it had a couple of issues. It already had HKS Hypermax suspension, which was a bonus.

Salvagable bits from the old car were transferd, driftworks subframe and diff bushes were fitted, new CR turbos 400 spec turbo, custom decat pipe, front mount intercooler, Uprated fuel pump/FPR, AEM wideband, Gizzmo boost controller, Blitz boost gauge, Dynapac paddle clutch and lightweight flywheel, Cusco 2 way diff etc etc.

The Spec is quite nice now running 1 bar and feeling very strong. Z32 and Power FC going on soon.

Thanks to GoFasterSpares for helping with the transfer of gearbox and disposal of the old shell/parts and HTech for painting/fitting the bodykit.

Exhaust work seems to have picked up again in the new place with a custom stainless front pipe for an Astra coupe Turbo

Plus a few custom backboxes.

New shape Celica for new suspension brakes

Image

Latest project that has just finished, is a little MR2 Mk1 race car.

Full Superflex polybush fitment, Whiteline arb's, new droplinks, custom race exhaust, Magnecore leads/NGK iridiums and a new freeflow airfilter.

As you can see the ramp is getting well used.

Next big job coming in is a Skyline R43 GTT for bushes, arb's and cambelt/water pump/aux belt service so i am getting some nice work now. I must be doing something right lol.

Yes Dan, That is Bryans GTR.

In for engine rebuild, bigger turbo and remap. Only joking APT!

That GTS-T has been off the road for around 6 months and the guy lives & works in Norwich so unlikely to be the car you see mate.
