Pics. of the new shop!

Just thought I would share some pics with everyone. We began running out of room a few months ago so we renovated and moved into our larger, new facility. It is now open!

Here are some pics. as we were renovating:





and here are a few almost finished:









We do fab work, powder coating, welding, custom piping, tuning, upgrades, race prep, and performance modifications. If you are ever in the area feel free to give us a call or just stop by and check the place out. we are located off I-75 near the corner of ashton and mcintosh. (941) 539-3004

Sort of - I will be back in Florida for some Dive Training. I used to live in Sarasota and have family there; so while in Florida I try to visit them.

Checking out that FD in your shop would just be a bonus.

Click the link in my sig for details on the 8 - the 7 is awaiting my arrival in HI (deployed right now) for the Single Turbo or 99 Spec upgrade plus need to fix an oil leak on it.

nice set-up. There are some fun places to drive around here. If you want to see a video on 684 in Nokomis, here is a good one:http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...riendid=951240
you will have to pause the music player to hear what the officers are saying

It may take a minute to show up but it is there under the pics of the Z

That is the owner of ART in the blue 2+2 TT Z on the front right. He never street races and we do not condone street racing but one night they were just messing around and this is what the police helicopter captured.

BTW - When are you planning to get your hood painted (it is still black)?.... HE HE Just kidding.

Now I am whoring for sponsors......

Any chance you guys have a spare Wastegate laying around? The other speed shop in FL hasn't shipped mine to me and it has been a month. I need to get the Turbocharged Land Cruiser up and running - see sig (click photo for video) - click here for build up: https://www.rx8club.com/general-automotive-49/looky-what-i-found-turbo-125659/

Any one will do - cheaper the better!

I really don't care - if you read the thread you can see me welding a fitting onto the turbo to run our oil lines..........the whole build is an excercise in Ghetto-fab.

If you have one with a 7-10 psi spring that would be money - if not I can cut it....

PS. If you find one - I will owe your shop HUGE!!!! I can send some Army Diver Gear y'alls way.

on a totally random note, I'm about to check out a used FD that I want to buy... Unfortunately, my knowledge is pure 0% when it comes to rotary.

can I get some help? (compression test, and a thorough look-see would be nice), and how much would this cost?

I'm in the Tampa area, but the car is in Port Richey? Hope we can work something out!
