Luke finally gets a shop space

[blu808]

So I finally found a decent shop location. It is in santa clara, on el camino. It features 2 lifts, a nice office, a great area.

The office will be a fun place to kick back, shoot the shit, play ps2, watch the latest drifting on the flat screen, and of course order some parts. lol

We are trying to have this as a place that depics the drifting lifestyle as well, and will have a fun feel to it.

I will keep everyone posted, and updated.

Keep in mind this will also allow me to finally finish up the v8 swap kit prototyping, and get everything back on track with weld locd, and shock drifting.


Hope to see you all at the grand opening bbq / keger soon.

Luke

[Vatche]

Hey Luke,
You probably don't remember me but I met you at the sj grand prix last month. My friend Nathan was asking you a bunch of questions. Well I have one for ya now. I would like to get the front of my s13 tubbed like some of the drifters do.(so I can run big ass tires and not rub) Can you do that at the shop? If so how much would you charge to do something like this?
Thanks
Luke

[hellion240sx]

trying something out. i am not familiar with california, i'm on the east coast in the south side of the states.

[Pennyman]

Sweet. Can't wait to see how the shop turns out (and party). I hope it's not too expensive to keep open. Hopefully you can bring in some customers to keep it open for a while?

Just let me know the date and where to go and I'll be there :rawk:

[dct223]

[EndLeSS8]

Whoo!
I was the first customer at Luke's shop

Nice location, cool shop.

It's not officially open yet (so the huge party is still coming!!) but it's going to be awesome when it's 100% up and running.

You guys should check it out when you have the chance. When it's done, it's going to be really sweet.
Thanks Luke.

[man its nam]

[SkeetFaceJeff]

Sounds great Luke. You've always been the entrepreneur.

[NoOneIsPerfect]

Congradulation ah... Mr. Luke. Though I don't know you, I'm happy that there's a shop in SJ that I can rely on when I need something! I'll stop by someday just to introduce myself and etc. New to the area so it'll be cool to meet new peeps.
Again congrat! and if you ever need help translating stuff frm Jap-English, feel free to contact me!
