That sounds awesome... Ive been REALLY enthralled with the VIP style for some time now. Prolly since i saw my first xB at Nopi bout 6 or 7 years ago. Well infact it was a true bB all kitted up w/ camber and some sick rims. I had to hit mine up the same way. Limited edition work euroline DH's, Fab kit flared out, camber, the whole nine. Just sucks trying to get authentic parts here in the USDM. Im eager to see your opinion on how it all turned out. And Ty dave for forwarding the pics for me! >Mikey

we do not paint here bud. We have installed some very sophisticated aero kits and we have an awesome paint shop in the building next door so we install parts then wheel the car 200ft down the parking lot. We work very close with the body shop. they do amazing work.

I've been getting a bunch of PM's from people asking a lot of the same questions so i just wanted to go through the list real quick of what we do.

Engine Services-Rebuilds
-Swaps
-Maintenance.

Drive Train-Clutches and Flywheels
-Trans Rebuilds
-Differential Installs
-Custom Drive shafts
-Short Shifters

Power-Lots and Lots and Lots and Lots of Turbochargers. We deal direct with Precision Turbo, Bullseye Power and also have access to all mitsu, Turbonetics etc......
-You name a bolt on and we have installed it. Bring us what you got and we'll make it work.

Brakes-We offer a very extensive line up of brake upgrades. Many of which allow you to maximize the stock calipers. I'll have more on this posted soon.
-Big Brake Kits also are available

Suspension-We deal with all of the top companies for suspension.
-We can install, configure and customize any suspension for street and/or track.
-Coilovers, springs, sway bars, i can go one till I'm blue in the face.


Wheels & Tires
-We have every wheel you can imagine. Rota, Work, 5Zigen just to name a few
-We also deal with multiple tire companies so we can also supply you with almost any tire you could want. street or race compounds.
-On Site mounting and balancing. We have all the equipment in house to mount and balance just about anything.

That gives you a basic run down of what we have to offer in the shop.

We are very active in motor sport and actually sponsor several of the top drivers in their respective classes. More will be posted about that with the new site launch but if you are curious ask away and I'll fill you in.

We are active in Drift, Road, Auto X and drag racing so we know what it takes for a car to be competitive.

We have been building monster DSM's, EVO's, WRX's, 240's and Mr-2's for quite sometime and have some really amazing DL projects going on as we speak but you'll have to come by to check them out.

thanks for your time folks.

I most likely have some business for you Martin. I need a new clutch and lightened flywheel. I also wouldn't mind a decent inexpensive wheel/tire setup for the drag strip. A friend of mine is looking for someone to put in some lowering springs for his tC too. I'll stop by before too long.
