Thats right. I have a new shop location. I decided to do this again, but on a smaller scale. I will personally be building each car, one at a time. No other employees to worry about.

Thanks guys. The pricing for the roll cages is like almost $1000 discount from what other places charge for that.
Let me know if you guys need anything, lets build some fun cars.

Can you quote me on a cage for a s13 hatch, full interior (including rear seats) and sunroof.

05-25-2008, 06:56 PM
turbo_dreams:
It would be difficult and impractical to build a full cage in a s13 that retains full interior. Unless you are looking for just a show style cage.
Hey much for a 4 point in s13 hatch with the rear gutted

97KATTURBOSILVIA: You are located in AU? The viper brake kits are still being developed for the 240s. We should have them completed later this month. I will let you guys know. My bad for not updating the website. I will do that right now.
Here are some pics of the brackets and such.

A full brembo brake kit for a tiny bit more than a z32 setup. Makes sense to me.
We also do custom turbo manifolds

Thanks bud.
I actually dont do any body repair. I can suggest a decent place if you want.
To stitch weld an engine bay the price is depicted by the amount of prep work. We would need to grind all the seam sealer away, and remove all the paint before welding. I would suggest removing the fenders and seam welding that area in addition to making custom fender braces for both sides.
We would be looking at about 6 hours worth of time. About $50 in material, and the sponsorship shop rate of $85 an hour instead of $100.
Let me know. That is something we could do right away.

The quality of Luke's work is so high, I would pay him to build me a car, with no input from me. I would just give him money and tell him to build me a complete car, from the ground up. No matter if it was FR, FF, MR, AWD or whatever. It could be a full tube chassis, a classic Resto-Mod, some futuristic hover car thing, or something completely unimaginable by me. I have total confidence that Luke would build something completely kick-ass.
Unfortunately, I don't have any money, and this ass kissing will only get me so far. :keke:
Keep up the good work Luke! :rawk: :rawk: :rawk:

Manji: A symbol used in Buddhist art and scripture is known as a manji (whirlwind), and represents Dharma, universal harmony, and the balance of opposites.
I hear it is also a great name for a cat.

the drift term "manji" is so named because of similarity in shape to two arms of a manji

Thanks for the compliments guys.
trsilvias13: That wouldn't be a problem. Let me know what you want. ex. 25.5
RedEvilRPS13: Manji means to drift side to side down a straightaway.
Here is an example of me doing some Manji action at buttonwillow.
