One of our shop cars took home NOPI’s 2026 Best Engine Bay this weekend at ! Quite the honor in a field of some incredible cars. Everything from the fab, wiring, paint and body all done in house.

Glad to see back in action and looking forward to their event at MIR in August!!!

• 8-Speed 8hp70 transmission swap
• Custom TRP built engine and trans wiring harness utilizing a Gen2 Race ECU
• New fuel system built to handle a future blower setup
• Maintenance all around and many more upgrades around the car.

Looking forward to bringing this old Mopar back to life with some modern tech!!!

Message us today to schedule your restomod for anything you might need mild to wild.

Finished up another project for a great customer. This 1999 FRC C5 Vette was sitting for a few years before we recieved the car. It was in rough shape missing parts all around the car including wiring harnesses, fuse boxes, body control modules and overall was in dire need of a refresh.

We ended up with a perfect street setup making a little over 810whp/740wtq in a car that looks stock until you’re close enough to hear it lol. Great street manners all around and at only 14psi there’s plenty of room to turn it up in the future.

Major mods include:

• Built piston/rod 6.0 LQ4
• F1R setup with updated bracket and tensioner setup
• Complete rewire of engine and chassis harnesses after they were previously cut from the car. Replaced body modules, fuse boxes and everything to get all the systems around the car working again.
• Upgraded and rewired for the later P59 PCM w/ Flex Fuel capabilities
• Complete new fuel system keeping factory saddle tanks and still retaining factory siphon setup. Dual 450s, 1200s, regulator, and PTFE fuel lines front to back
• Fabricated custom Intercooler setup and piping #
• Fabbed brackets for custom Entropy radiator and fan setup
• New brakes all around
• Varius maintenance throughout the vehicle to prep for road testing and the dyno
• Tuned by the best at

Another successful EFI conversion using updated Sniper2 system for Luis’ beautiful ‘76 F250. After battling the typical carb issues for years, he finally decided to take the leap 50 years into the future. Along with a complete new return-style fuel system and electric pump, ceramic coated headers and a full custom stainless exhaust with mufflers and H-pipe, the truck now starts first crank everytime, sounds great and runs flawlessly.

With fresh fluids and seals throughout the entire drivetrain and some other maintenance around the truck, it’s ready to rip for 2026!

Another great customer back for some more mods. Mike’s Evo X does a little of everything including drag racing, mountain road fun runs, road trips, you name it, all while taking care of daily driver duties for himself and his kids.

Miles were adding up and it was time for a refresh. With a great selection of parts we were able to successfully update and upgrade several systems all around the car while still maintaining that OEM reliability we could not sacrifice.

Power train wise we used parts from all over the Evo community with major upgrades including…

- 18k turbo and upgraded internal gate and 3” inlet
- tubular manifold and recirculated downpipe both ceramic coated
- Even more heat protection with multiple Hetfield and both a turbo blanket and manifold blanket from to the keep under hood temps as low as possible
- 1300cc injectors and pump and fuel filter with built in check valve to handle fueling needs with e85 in mind in the future.
- Mike didn’t quite like the 4” tips on the ETS exhaust so we cut them off and added some smaller 3” tips to keep more of an OEM look
- We finished up with an engine and SST trans calibration from where the car made great power and drives like factory until you get into boost.

We also did some maintenace around the vehicle including new control arms with upgraded bushings as well as new rear diff bushings.

Lastly we installed a new set of coil overs, which we dialed in the ride height and aligned as well.

Thanks Mike again for choosing TRP and can’t wait for the next round of mods! Built trans, more boost and e85 coming soon!!

This week we had a beautiful Tommi Makinen Edition Evolution 6.5 fresh off the boat from Japan in for an inspection and some maintenance. Pretty cool to start seeing these stateside and looking forward to working with Johnny and his Evo in the future!

Another project we finished up for Honda-Day last month. Chris has been a great customer over the years and brings us a new car every year it seems as he keeps adding to his collection. This car has already broken into the 9’s and with his new setup hopefully goes deep into the bottom 9’s this year.

Major mods included:

• Made custom mounts and secure the entire full carbon JDM Integra front end. Both fenders and front bumper combined weigh less than a few lbs.

• Made a one-off full carbon sunroof delete panel in house and mounted everything flush and secure

• Repaired his damaged hood, relocated hood pins and cleared everything along with the fenders and restored headlights.

• Fabbed a one-off baffled catch can mounted behind the rear tires in the back of the car with a vent.

• Made a custom duct for the intercooler up front that also helps support the front bumper.

Best of luck Chris and we look forward to seeing this car go faster and faster this year!!

We’ve been slacking with social media updates but the shop’s been staying busy. Here’s another cool project we finished up last month.

After getting burned by another Rotary shop, Jacob brought us his beautiful ‘94 FD RX7 to get the project back on track. We’re excited to see this build keep progressing and look forward to working more with Jacob in the future!!

Major upgrades include:

• Full package with an Elite 2500 ECU, iC-7 dash, wideband, GPS and more

• wiring harness install with custom additions added throughout the harness

• Custom intercooler piping and BOV install

• Fuel system repairs and new rail setup

• Finished vacuum line delete and ran new hose throughout the car

• FFE crank trigger setup and the list goes on…

Beautiful TrackHawk in the shop this week for some mods. It’s amazing how capable these platforms are with minor bolt-ons.

Finished up this beautiful 1976 Ford F250 Highboy a couple weeks ago. We refreshed items around the entire truck as well as adding some big improvements to the drivability including a fully electronic power steering conversion, upgraded cooling system and fan setup, and an upgrade to a higher amp one-wire alternator/wiring setup to support all the new mods.

We look forward to seeing this truck back in the spring for full custom stainless exhaust as well as a few other finishing touches.
