🔧 Reiger 570 Damper Full Rebuild & Restoration 🔧

A fresh lease on life for this set of Reiger 570 rally dampers.

These shocks came in for a complete teardown, inspection, and refresh. Every component was carefully disassembled, inspected, cleaned, and rebuilt to ensure they're ready for many more stages ahead. To finish them off, the bodies were refinished in CERAKOTE® for a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that looks as good as it performs.

Whether you're competing in rally, gravel, or off-road events, regular damper servicing is critical to maintaining performance, consistency, and reliability.

✅ Complete disassembly and inspection
✅ Internal refresh and service
✅ Reassembly with new wear components as required
✅ CERAKOTE refinishing for durability and corrosion resistance
✅ Ready for the next rally season

If your suspension has seen a few hard seasons, it may be time for a rebuild.

R35 GT-R GR6 Transmission Service

The GR6 transmission is one of the most impressive parts of the R35 GT-R, but like any high-performance component, regular maintenance is key to keeping it performing at its best.

Whether your GT-R is a weekend cruiser, a drag strip warrior, or a dedicated track car, staying on top of transmission maintenance can help extend clutch life, improve shift quality, and catch potential issues before they become expensive repairs.

If your GT-R is due for service or you're unsure of its maintenance history, we'd be happy to help.

Not one. Not two.

Wait… actually, TWO Cobra kit cars are currently in the shop.

These lightweight machines capture the look and feel of the legendary 1960s Cobra while delivering a driving experience that's every bit as wild as you'd expect. With massive V8 power, minimal weight, and absolutely no driver aids to save you, they're about as raw as a sports car gets.

It's not every day we get a pair of Cobra replicas in the shop at the same time, so we had to stop and appreciate the moment.

Whether it's maintenance, upgrades, performance work, or custom fabrication, we love working on unique builds that keep automotive passion alive.

What would you choose: classic Cobra, modern Corvette, or Porsche GT3?

🔥 Heat Management Matters 🔥

We’re testing out some new services that we may be offering in the future as we continue to refine the process.

This isn’t a scientific test by any means, but it does a great job illustrating the effectiveness of heat shielding on exhaust components.

For this test, two identical sections of pipe were heated internally with a propane torch until they were glowing red hot. Surface temperatures were then measured after approximately 4 minutes of heat exposure.

The results? The heat-shielded pipe recorded less than half the surface temperature of the unwrapped pipe.

Keeping heat inside the exhaust system can offer several benefits:
✔ Reduced engine bay temperatures
✔ Improved protection for surrounding components
✔ Better thermal efficiency
✔ Increased comfort in heat-sensitive applications

This type of thermal protection is ideal for turbo manifolds, downpipes, exhaust systems, and other high-temperature applications where controlling heat is critical.

Stay tuned as we continue testing and developing new services for our customers.
