Diftspeed Closed?

[Aoshi112]

Hey did I hear right? Driftspeed is now closed down? Anyone know where Koji went then?

[usdm180sx]

Yes unfortunately you heard correctly =(

[mr2thomas]

Koji is still alive, no worries. And he bought alot of the equipment (including the dyno's).

He will be opening his own shop soon. Best tuner in the world.

[usdm180sx]

Yeah I made sure and got his number when I was there. Also bought a shit load of stuff too =)

Damn when did they close shop Norm?

Do you know when and where Koji will be opening his shop? I'm thinking of picking up an Apexi Power FC soon and getting it tuned by him.

[usdm180sx]

They closed end of March. I have Koji's number if you need to reach him. pm me

[MiggyMiggz]

Yeah they closed up shop last saturday. Apparently the owners were moving back to Japan so they closed. Koji was definitely legit so if you guys have info of how to get ahold of him that would be much appreciated

[CleanAndLegit]

ahh shit what? this some bulll!, i need an alignment soon!

[mike_holes]

im gonna miss that shop... glad koji is opening his own place...

[vvtisupra]

koji + Apexi power FC = magic

[silverarrow27]

koji + Apexi power FC = magic

Koji + Haltech = magic ????

[ryandriftingfat]

Shit! For sure now huh? I needed to get an alignment and fender pull soon, was going to get them done there.

Norm I'll call you for Koji's info.

[UNITEDMASTER]

He told me he is planning to open up in Carson if all goes well.
If not, elsewhere.

Koji + any car = magic.
Koji + any car + dyno = black magic

[gunmetalr32]

I was talking to koji about tuning my car..i really hope he opens a shop..

[rat240]

damn this sucks the staff at drift speed were so polite and friendly

[lalo167]

Is there any other good shops around the 562 area for alignments?

[punn303]

sad to hear, such a good shop.

[mr2thomas]

Rumor has it that Koji is setting up shop here with his dyno and fabrication equipment:
Auto Talent - Carson, CA (http://www.yelp.com/biz/auto-talent-carson)

Dyno tuning will soon be ready once set up.

At least Koji doesn't have to drive far from home if that's true.

Anyways, damn. I was planning to put some pretty pennies have driftspeed do my suspension including subframe. I probably hit up Garage Life and get a quote from them, I don't like working with old chassis bolts :bite:

[2iv0 sx]

Has anyone got in contact with Koji or got work done recently?

I always went to him for wheel alignment and don't feel as good going else where for now. Need to get another adjustment soon. LMK

[usdm180sx]

He is in fact at auto talent. I went there to have him change my diff oil. He cannot do alignments anymore because he does not have an alignment rack. Driftspeed sold it to their next door neighbor when they closed. He does have a dyno and can do tuning though =)

[2iv0 sx]

I see good to know. Thanks for the info.

I guess I'll shop around.

Soo who's good doing alignments on s-chassis??

Evasive Motorsports in Santa Fe is one I found so far, but they're pretty pricey. Otherwise, 2 week wait at WestEnd?

[Portuguese Bend]

Yes, I was shocked too when they told me.

Maybe Song's Alignment? He's an S chassis guy.

[ManoNegra]

West End, worth the wait.

[Socalgal]

Koji works at a place called auto intelligence (auto talent maybe) and he actually bought the dyno from drift speed and brought it with him. Thank goodness

[usdm180sx]

I guess you missed my post:

No big deal =)

[iamtheyi]

714 tires does a good job too

[campbells13]

[Q45VQ35DE]

Dependable people from DS. Too bad, one less good place to bring my car to.
