DC5 Diet Plan

Add a Comment February 22nd, 2012

We have a Time Attack DC5 going to Jamaica, but first it had to stop off at the shop for a diet! It needs to loose 200 lbs! This car is already gutted out to begin with so this is no easy task. We already got 140lbs off with only 60 lbs to go. I think some Seibon carbon doors will do the trick! Check back with us on the final result before the car heads out to the island!

Old School Murder

Add a Comment February 18th, 2012

A murder has been committed at the shop. This is a diffrent type of murder, Old School Murder! The victim is a 1972 Mercedes 450 SLC. The confirmed suspect is a 1JZ!!! This unique Project came to LIFE when Ryan,Owner of the car, came to us with his 1972 Mercedes 450 SLC We all agreed to put a 1jz backed with a automatic transmission,which will have a very simple single turbo upgrade. It will have all your basic needs also, power steering and A/C. Ryan decided to have the car painted flat black and tie the car off with a set of  black faced Work Eurolines on all fours.  Enjoy the pictures of the build below and we can’t wait to let this thing rip!

V8 RWD Altima?!?!?!?

Add a Comment February 9th, 2012

Thats right there’s no typo in the title. We are starting the build up of Nick Moy’s 2002 Nissan Altima. Nick bought this idea to us three years ago at one of our BBQ’s and we thought he was nuts! Well after alot of research we will be making it possible. When completed this will be the worlds first RWD V8 3rd Gen Altima! We are using the VK56DE out of a Nissan Titan. The biggest challenge to come by was the transmission. Nick didn’t want the “No Fun” automatic and without that engine ever comming with a manual option the research started. Nick found that a Infiniti 6-speed G37 transmission looked like a good option, But didn’t bolt up. So, Nick sourced an adaptor plate from down in southern California and even got a custom flywheel milled and a ACT clutch for the project. As you can see in the pictures the engine bay is totally gutted and is waiting for its new heart! We don’t want to leak too much info, so your going to have to check back with us on the progress of this monumental build!
