Occasionally, the student surpasses the teacher

You can beat the factory at it’s own game!

     For those few who own a 997 GT3 RS 4.0, good on you …

For the rest, thankfully, there is G.M.G. Racing. The team, a force to be reckoned with in the World Challenge series, also builds some wicked street cars.  

     Commissioned by an owner who had his eye on the GT3 RS 4.0, this particular GT3 RS 3.8 was sent to G.M.G. for an increase in displacement and an attitude adjustment.

Shown below is our custom carbon fiber door sills autographed by the GMG team’s engine builders and our made-to-order ‘Guards Red’ and Carbon Fiber Air Vents

Kudos to G.M.G. for their recent win in Long Beach!!

Porsche Über Alles

Porsche, above all else

Our long-time customer Craig had a vision.

To update his 996 GT2 into the ultimate GT2 RSR!

While styling cues taken from the 911 GT1 inspired it’s design, thoughts of a modern version of Porsche’s iconic 935 inspired its inception.

The idea could only happen in a dream.

Five years in the making, 911 design turned this nearly eleven hundred horsepower dream into a reality.

Although they started with parts sourced from DP Motorsport, the guys at 911 design custom fabricated virtually every other body component in house. Forming carbon fiber components from scratch as well as the design and construction of a full roll cage were among the fabrication skills involved. The cage is built with such subtlety that it isn’t apparent at first glance. Quite a shame to cover such beautiful work in Alcantara!

Inside, among the leather and Carrera GT seats you will find our full 996 interior package. All done in ‘weapon’s grade’ matte finish to fit the competition theme of this car.

Craig came to us for many of his carbon fiber needs. We really enjoy working customers like him, those who love cars and know what they want.

So Craig, What’s your next project?

The Bulls run to Palm Springs!

Angry Mob of Bulls?

IMG_0319

To celebrate Lamborghini’s Fiftieth, a road rally to Palm Springs was in order.  Organized by Karlton Spindle, as a West Coast pre-cursor to the upcoming celebration in Italy.

Lamborghini’s 5oth Anniversary Celebration

Karlton used this event as an opportunity to introduce his

‘Twice Baked Bull’ Lamborghini Urraco Resto-Mod 

(shown below)

From the meeting point at the Cask ‘n Cleaver, Rancho Cucamonga … we headed east on 10 … we tried to keep our foot off the floor and stay mid pack (or mid-mob!)

This Mob of Bulls took two laps around Palm Springs gaining much attention from pedestrians and other drivers alike.

Do you want to know what its like to have the Paparazzi chase you, then run with two dozen Lambos!

After a wonderful lunch at the Riviera we mingled with fellow enthusiasts.

Thanks to everyone we met!

How do you take your coffee?

Black …

IMG_0092-Edit

With a few hours to kill, while in Los Angeles getting ready for the Lamborghini Rally …. we decided to show up for Cars and Coffee. The event takes place at the Mazda Design Center, Irvine. Every Saturday morning car nuts of all kinds gather at dawn to get their Saturday morning buzz before they buzz around the Los Angeles basin. Thinking we were early birds by showing up at seven thirty, who knew we would have to wait for a line of cars leaving?

or with cream & sugar?

John’s Favorite Road

Wide open and deserted

drive_1

When driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco there are ways to avoid the monotony of Highway 5. One way is to take HWY 101, at least there are some interesting cities to stop at. But it’s just another boring highway, road-wise.  Why not try John’s favorite road? It is Highway 25, the part that runs up the coastal mountain range. As you head north on 5, take HWY 198 West at Harris Ranch. Once past the oil fields and the town of Coalinga you find the twisties. The AMG was fun but this road is really built for our 911 or something smaller like an old Alfa Spider! Although 198 continues on to HWY101, if you hang a right on Highway 25 you will not regret it. Wide open and deserted are the words to describe this road! Just be careful as there are lots of working ranches on each side. Take some time for a hike at the Pinnacles National Park if you so chose. Once you hit Hollister, it is back to reality. But this route will make you look forward to traveling the length of California, just watch your speed!

Intensive Care! – The SLR comes apart

The McLaren Mercedes SLR is some car!

IMG_8938

It is some car to work on too …. Optimized for performance, you will find the battery below the trunk floor to lower the center of gravity.  Performance is the primary design element in this car. This optimization extends to a vast use of Carbon Fiber within the chassis structure. Working on this car is much like an ‘operation’ …. exposing the carbon structure takes the skill and patience of a surgeon!

You will soon see the SLR back in one piece …. and back on the road!
