Fd block finished up last week. The usual recipe we use for these to make it a tough street package.

We supplied and built a tidy FD block for Ali Raad for his project he’s working on.

The usual work we carry out to make a very nice street package. Secondary bridgeport, unbreakables, extra dowels, bigger ports, all new mazda seals and balanced.

We also supplied a lightened flywheel and an uprated 6puk clutch kit to take the power it will make!

Aj’s FD block all together now. Ape supplied with brand new housings.

Secondary bridgeport, bigger intake and exhaust ports, extra dowels and SCR apex seals. We also supplied our uprated clutch and flywheel package to put that power to the wheels!

Should be a nice FD once the bays painted and this motors in.

What an awesome ending to this weekend at ! .bokchoi and I taking out the stand out burnouts and whats even more cool is Ape Automotive winning a trophy for top shop at this event! Many do not understand the amount of work behind the scene we do to maintain these cars! So it was very nice to be recognised!

We would not have won anything today if it wasn’t for my TEAM! My family and friends is what makes us! You know who you all are! There were a few ape stickered cars out and I hope you all enjoyed every single one. Many could not make it but theres always next time.

The Avenger… many awesome comments on how well it looked with a fresh paint! Thank you for the mad hours in prepping and painting it! We love it! Thank you to his wife Rachel for dropping off the bonnet last minute friday!

Jayson from fleet tyres and Alex Automotive Limited for hooking me and Mathew up with tyres for the weekend!
bokchoi and always going out their way for us for anything I need! Not for just this event! It’s always!

Always great yarns with the boys and girls and we met alot of great people and we would like to say thank you for having the time to chat to us!
