Strolling through the shop Friday night, it dawned on me were well overdue a socials update!

Its easy to get lost in daily routines and take for granted the caliber of vehicles we get to work on.

Some days we find its important to take a step back and appreciate the cars. Behind each vehicle is often a story. Whether its some history, nostalgia, even just someone's dream.

Here's a vastly contrasting collection of projects from recent times! Including a gorgeous 69 HT Monaro, RB20 powered Bounty, SR20 Lorry and a Widebody turbo BRZ thats near completetion. Weve had a string of RB30 variants the past few months, such as the 30ET in VLDADY, as well as multiple 30DET swapped R & C chassis cars. Euro is on the up, with E & F chassis BMW a fairly common site. As well as a many of the Audi/VW offerings. We even get the odd Jag! As always, Barra, B-series Honda and JZ varieties are a daily occurrence!

To all our customers both new and old, we very much appreciate your continued support. But most importantly, we appreciate your patience! Building a performance car is a labour of time and love. We endeavor to make the process as stress free as possible. We appreciate booking and build wait times can sometimes be long but good things take time, right? 🔥

If your looking to get that long term project out the shed and on the road. Just need the finishing touches on your own build. Or have an automotive dream you want to make reality. Think Flame Performance!

Just like that, January disappeared and Chrome Expression Session is right around the corner....Time to take a look back at how we kicked things off for 2026!

Beginning with a father/son duo, both with a shared passion but sitting at different ends of the bench. Japanese import tuner VS American muscle!

Cole's 1JZ Crown, in for a variety of upgrades. A custom turbo-back stainless exhaust system was fabricated in-house. Followed by a Link G4X piggy-back ECU setup. The fuel system overhauled with Bosch 1000cc injectors and an in-tank fuel pump upgrade. A Link CAN gauge discreetly displays important info without cluttering the prestine VIP Crown interior!

Then we have Phil's 427R Roush Mustang. Basic intake mods and a supercharger pulley upgrade is all that's required to unleash some serious snot. With the appropriate tuning of course! Taking the factory 427 flywheel HP (or 435 for the R) to almost 480WHP.

Was a pleasure to have both machines and neat to see it's a family affair!

On the road to Chrome? 👀
We’ve opened a few extra pre-Chrome tuning + mechanical slots over the next 2–3 weeks.
If you’ve been meaning to get your car checked/tuned/sorted before the show, now’s the time — these usually fill quick!

With the final days of 2025 upon us, here we have the last few tidbits from the Flame camera reel... A small collage of vehicles and odd jobs, that seen us through the end of the year.

From a 600HP Ford Cosworth, to a Fiat Bambina. A custom EZ30 exhaust system, through to 370Z turbo conversions. We have a real variety of vehicles and builds. This is likely one of the most enjoyable aspects of what we do.

To all our customers, we wish you a safe and happy new year. We look forward to seeing you in 2026, the calendar already filling out with new and exciting builds! To anyone on the fence, with a project car stashed away needing work, 2026 is the year to get it out and get it done!

So whichever engine you see as 'gods engine' or whether your a Haltech or Link follower we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄🥂🍾

That's a wrap for the wild weekend of 4 & Rotary 2025! Three days of track with three different seasons, not that the hail slowed anyone down!

Great to see a huge variety of vehicles and catch up with our customers trackside.

We absolutely look forward to this event each year and highly recommend it to anyone on the fence. The team at Premier events put in a huge effort and we can't thank them enough.

We put MADCIV through it's paces all weekend. With a heap of ride-alongs in the DYM sessions, making for some interesting reactions!

We had a blast in the ever popular roll-racing event. Making it to the semi-finals in the 2WD Turbo class. Both ourselves and are excited to develop the platform further!

Let's see you all in the new year for Chrome 2026!



Thanks to for the shots! 📸

October has been the month of the cross-breed! The following is a small mash-up of various swaps and conversions of late. Alongside a little exhaust fabrication work, with Subaru twisted turbo setups becoming increasingly popular. A tidy in-house example, back-purged to perfection!

Starting with Elden's gorgeous FD RX7, sporting an 8HP70 transmission swap. At the turn of a dial, can transition between seamless automatic shifting, through to firm manual shifts using the sequential or paddle shifters. With the fresh 13B still on the run-in tune and some teething issues to sort, there will be updates to come!

On the complete other end of the spectrum, we have Joey's near immaculate XA Falcon. With none other than a Barra turbo between the strut towers. Putting power down through a TH400 transmission. This is a gnarly weekend warrior with oodles of torque!

Sam always brings us something interesting, with his last adventure being an LS RX7, now seen in NZPC. He's currently settling into a new chassis. With an SR20DET swapped AE Corolla, all setup to hit the track!

With 4&Rotary and Xmas right around the corner, we appreciate everyone's patience as we wade through the busy season. Now's the time to get those projects running for summer! Make sure to reach out and lock in your bookings before 2025 is out.

As always, we greatly appreciate the continued support from our customers, both new and loyal. As we endeavor to be Christchurch's one-stop performance vehicle shop!
