Another successful upgrade for this nsx!

✅Stoptech BBK (F&R)

consistently makes the best big brakes kit, installation was straight forward and allows us to retain parking brake function.

✅Science of Speed Intake Air Bypass Delete Kit

The kit contains a high quality CNC-machined aluminum plate, which directly bolts onto any factory intake manifold and replaces the factory IAB assembly.

Hats off to for developing this kit, which is a great solution that prevents catastrophic engine failure in the event that the notorious screws fall off from the factory valve plate!

After a long wait for parts and just in time for the season, we've finally installed a 2.5" lift kit for this Raptor! What would a 2.5" lift kit do to a truck like this? Obviously, it's mainly for clearing the parking curbs at Starbucks... AND shredding through the powder and winter storms in Tahoe!🔥

This thing is badass! The Fox active shocks w/ live valve straight from the factory means serious business, both on road and off road! With this lift kit, you can utilize Forscan to recalibrate the live valve to your favorable setting, so it wouldn't sacrifice any on road comfort.

As parts supplies are getting more widely available for the new gen Raptors and Broncos, feel free to reach out to us for any assistance!

When are we heading to Baja?

"is your car stock?"
"it is, besides the blower.."

This car feels like a factory option two decades ago. Hoons like a spaceship while retains the comfort for your Trader Joe's runs.

AC compressor replaced, leak tested and recharged. Another happy nsx on the road!

This week's highlight: a very unique opportunity to work on a very unique project, on a very unique car.. found perhaps the last brand new, USDM 6speed manual transmission in the world and effectively secured this museum piece. The whole process took less than 3 business days thanks to efficient shipping arrangement.

Supposedly, this is a direct and straightforward task, in conjunction with wiring up the Reverse Lockup Module engineered by RFY to prevent accidental miss-shift into reverse gear at high speed. However, with a transmission sitting for almost 20 years, we expected nothing less than some slight hiccups, one of which being the factory reverse solenoid was ceased and had to be jump started to be brought back to life.

Upon completing the conversion, we also found that we weren't able to shift it into reverse gear (who needs reverse gear when you have a race car😂?). After doing more research and by process of elimination, turns out the shifter cables were in need of adjustment. Problem solved!!

Shoutout to and David at for offering us advice when we need it, especially when nsxprime server is undergoing maintenance. We owe you guys a few drinks 🤜🤛

Thanks for offering us this precious opportunity to work on this project to completion. This community is awesome👍

Back to our root with some AMG contents! This W204 C63 has been through a lot as many of you have seen it sitting at the shop for months. But we are happy to announce that it's finally back on the road in one piece🔥

An unfortunate series of events in conjunction with the dealership's misdiagnosis, led us to believe that the entire engine wiring harness needed to be replaced (engine out), only to find out that the ECU was the root cause of the issue.

Fortunately, we took advantage of the engine out opportunity to address some problems conveniently, such as replacing the notoriously rusty cylinder headbolts with updated ones (early production M156 headbolts tend to get rusty due to coolant corrosion overtime), along with servicing the cylinder heads with new valves to address the imminent oil consumption issue.

Working with Mercedes' variable timing system was also a very infuriating experience, not only because special tools and scanner were required to set and calibrate the timing correctly, but it has to be done in a specific manner in accordance to the coolant temperature, vehicle drive cycle etc.

Despite the complications we encountered, we are grateful with this experience as we are a lot more familiar with the M156 engine than we were a year ago. Shout out to for allowing us the time and resources we need to take this repair project to the finished line! We hope to see you in only for minor maintenace and repair moving forward... (we are not ready to kill another rack for months anytime soon 😅)

This post is definitely long overdue.. Last year's 10th year anniversary party at our garage was a huge success! Here's a quick recap of the event, and a heartfelt message to our followers.

Started off as a euro shop 10 years ago, we have definitely came a long way to find our own niche in the community. Seeing the diversity of cars coming into the shop lately, however, shows that our team is capable to grow outside of our comfort zone.

Working with a wide variety of cars is definitely challenging at times (from old school Chevy trucks, to classic bimmers & Mercedes, and now JDMs), especially when certain cars requires specialty tools and knowledge to be accommodated. That said, it doesn't deter our team from learning, growing, and gaining experience on a daily basis! We especially appreciate our friends and customers, this small dream shop of ours wouldn't have happened without your support!

For us, this shop isn't just a 9-5 workplace, it is a place to celebrate car enthusiasm, foster friendship, and promote the car scene in our community. Therefore, we will continue to host and attend more car events moving forward. Stay tuned!

Lastly, huge shout out to for capturing these memorable moments for us!!

Warning: This NSX might make you feel enabled in some type of way... In just a few months, it has gone through some lovely transformations.. Thanks for entrusting us to work on this beast!

Koyo Radiator ✓
Pride V2 Titanium Exhaust ✓
Lightweight Flywheel✓
JDM Short Gearing Transmission ✓
Custom Sleeve: S2K Rack Conversion ✓
Custom Four Wheel Alignment ✓

This car is awesome. The JDM shorter gearing with the final drive ratio mod, accompanied with the lightweight flywheel from definitely makes a huge difference in the way the car performs, especially from 2-4th gear. It just feels like a stock nsx on steroid.. Not to mention the exhilarating titanium exhaust from 🔥

For those of you who have problems with your NA2 electrical racks, the s2k rack conversion could be a great alternative. It offers much quicker rack ratio while retaining the responsive handling character of the car. Awesome mod!
