Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only work on Subarus?
Subaru platforms (WRX, STI, BRZ, Forester, etc.) are our primary specialty and absolute bread and butter. However, we also offer expert consultation and services for JDM classic imports. Contact us with your specific vehicle to see if it's a good fit for our shop.
Do you offer in-house dyno tuning?
Coming Very Soon! We have just recently installed our state-of-the-art 4WD DynoJet. We are currently finalizing the setup and testing phases, so we are not taking customer tuning appointments quite yet. Keep an eye on our social media for teaser videos and the official launch date!
Do you offer track support or race prep?
Yes! From building compliant roll cages to providing full trackside support at events like Sno*Drift, we have the real-world motorsports experience to get your rally or track car across the finish line safely and competitively.
Can you fix a blown EJ motor?
Absolutely. Engine overhauls and rebuilding "Uncle Rodney" (rod knock) afflicted EJ motors is our bread and butter. We offer OEM replacements as well as fully forged built blocks by IAG Performance.
