A Quick Tour of the New Shop
Did you know that we’ve recently expanded? Over the winter, significant time and effort was invested in order to grow our shop facility. This additional work area can accommodate for up to five cars being worked on at a time, as well as safe, secure overnight storage for seven cars each night.
Paired with a staggering array of tools, this additional work space provides the well-lit and spacious atmosphere to make sure that every job is handled appropriately. Two additional new lifts complement the existing two lifts in the original warehouse, which also houses our Dyno Dynamics dyno. A clean engine room serves as the environment for assembling the highest horsepower VQ engines in the world, as well as any other specialty projects involving exact measurement. Finally, a sealed fabrication room is available for those unique jobs and to ensure that byproducts of welding and cutting do not find their way into the work area.
With that said, our entire facility consists of:
- Over 10,000 square feet of office space, inventory warehousing, and shop working space
- Four hydraulic lifts to accommodate for the lowest of vehicles
- Dyno Dynamics two wheel drive dyno and engine tuning
- Welding and fabrication tools and abilities
- Precision engine assembly tools and abilities
- Hunter mounting and balancing equipment
- Almost any other tool you can possibly imagine
- Racing fuel inventory and nitrous re-filling
- Convenient location in downtown Lexington, KY
Current labor rates for 2010 are as follows:
- Standard labor rate: $90 per hour
- Dyno tuning rate: $170 per hour
With this additional facility, we welcome jobs both large and small! Please contact us via email for a thorough price quote and schedule request. As a reminder, we still pride ourselves in low prices and quick turnaround time for parts sales, so give us a try for your one-stop source.

NA AP2 S2000 Makes Impressive Power With Bolt Ons
Late last week we hosted a local customer and his 2006 S2000 for a quick dyno session. While S2000s typically dyno low, especially on our Dyno Dynamics, we were impressed to see a good amount of power from just a few simple modifications. Even more surprising was that the highest numbers were obtained on the seventh pull. Modifications include: J’s Racing SPL header, T1R 70mm single exhaust, Fidanza flywheel, and Unorthodox race pullies.
