Everyone likes pictures... right? We will post pics from time to time to keep you guys up to date on some of the projects we are taking on.



Big thanks to Darryl and Derek Smith for sending a crew over to make this office ours after Joe knocked down a wall to give us a bit more space. Hope to have it all wrapped up and the floor epoxied next week sometime.



Just got this bitch overnighted from Japan. Sticking it in an 01 IS300 and converting to a single turbo. Might have those Griffin guys build the transmission too.



David brought us his GTR to install his swift lowering springs. This car will be attending two rallies this year and will be wrapped by pleasant details. The cool thing about the wrap is that it will remain on the car for a year and we will have a nice section on it for advertisement.



This car was just purchased at the autofair and will be coming to us for some ElecTech tune action and suspension upgrades. Big thanks to Jamison Corvette for the referral.





Accidental photography out of the cell phone. Nice truck that is begging for an LS.



We didn't expect to have this come in the door! Big thanks to Griffin Transmission for the TrueTrac/4.11/hardened axle install. Should be going to Badbob soon for duals and then getting a bunch of odds and ends fixed up.





We are even putting a honda motor or two together.



Some random stuff here as well.

Very cool. Can't wait to see the pic with my truck in there......

Won't be long now I hope.

[Matts94Z28]

You know we are ready when you are.

[MonteC]

Nice.

[ForceFed4g63]

Very cool, glad to see you guys are staying busy and getting your hands on pretty much everything!

sent a guy from my church down with a old Jeep Grand Cherokee, dies after while, then cranks back up later on, runs fine,....then dies again.

I need to swing by there soon!

We ended up having a great turn out, despite the weather. Marty and Mike busted ass and spun 29 cars in total! Here are a few pictures I was able to grab while wrangling the crowd.

Ended up throwing the CTS-V on the rollers and made some good power. I hope someone got a video of the car throwing flames.


Not your average FRS.


Some vette action.


Another V.


K swapped hatch.


One of my favorites for the day.



Kenny turning em over.


Extra sketchy! This thing has an older 600cc motor on it.


Jonathan and his race truck on 35's


Lunch for the day...



Big thanks to everyone who helped out and made it possible! We will be doing it again in a couple of months.

Mark King approves of your numbers....


So, what'd the blown FR-S make? thats damn near exactly the combo i'd want.

I think I remember him saying it was just over 200....something about a shitty tune or something.

EDIT: his facebook said 218 was max, traction control was putting it into limp mode, and they couldn't get it disabled.

I heard around 218 as well. Kind of disappointing given the cost of the kit/labor..

I know traction control/stabilitrak really hurts the TBSS at the track and on dyno, but pulling some fuses renders the systems useless....surely there's a similar process for the FR-S.

Car looks great though.

More Evo's in the building.


The first CPS built EVO will be leaving tomorrow. Big thanks to Jordan for having us build the motor and big thanks to Mike for doing his thing.

Stock head, GSC S2 cams, 6266, Manley turbo tuff rods, stock crank, weisco 10.5:1 pistons, 2000cc injectors, dual pumps and corn.

[ForceFed4g63]

Nice setup, that thing should be a beast!

[GreebeanZ28]

Be a badass with a 4wd dragpack.

its a 3200 dollar bolt-on blower kit that installs in about 2 hours with hand tools... (per a photography buddy in England that has one that he installed)
