Monday again...
This week, we're back to work on Tim's GT2871 swap on his 300zx. We've also got 740cc injectors, Nistune, and a host of other parts to go on this one.

We've had Phillip's Prelude in the shop for a while. The engine in this car received a rebuild only 1,400 miles ago by another shop. The engine was assembled incorrectly, and the machine work was sub-par, causing the engine to fail. The piston ring lands were broken, the piston to wall clearance was horrible, causing damage to both the piston skirt and the cylinder sleeve. Be carful who you trust with your build

Phillip decided that it was better for him to replace his blown H23 with a low mile JDM H22. It arrived on Friday, and the guys are at work prepping it for installation.

Today is another busy day around the shop. We had Brad's RSX-S in for wheel bearings and Jamie's VR4 in for yet more upgrades. I worked on tearing the drift car engine down this morning and got it out for machine work.
Be on the look out for a post on the build, and some new numbers.
Tomorrow, we will finally have our dyno moved over from the other shop. We've been waiting on it for too long and have several cars lined up for tunes.

Back to work. It's been crazy lately. Between the move and the Elite Summer Nationals, we haven't had time to breathe.
Now that things are getting back to normal, we'll be back to a routine, and I'll try to be making regular Blog updates again.
Our drift car spun a rod bearing this Saturday early on into the drift practice. That's ok though.... Be on the lookout for a 500+ whp drift car build on the streets soon!
Guys, get at us... The new number is out (864-574-8588), and the old number is forwarding to the new one!
We are also in the planning stages of a customer appreciation day. We want to have an open house, free food and cheap dyno runs to get you guys out here. Be looking for the date!

Thursday. August 4th....
Internet is finally up at the new shop. The new phone number is 864-574-8588.
We are super excited to be in the new shop, and loving the new space. We went from a 825 sq ft work area to a little over 3,000 sq ft. We also have A/C, so that's really nice.
If you haven't been by the new shop yet, be sure to swing by and take the grand tour!
