Yes , the rumours are correct but not for the reasons people think.

We have been hard at it for 3 years and it's time Glenn and myself took a break.

Glenn will be seeking to change direction in regards to type of cars and what he actually is tuning and I will be staying here until it is sold or will stay on if the new owner wants a manager.

He will be avaliable to tune if the need arises and we have access to a competent tuner for the times he isn't in the country.

The business is going very well ( as is attested by the brokers figures on what it's worth ) , we certainly aren't going broke and we haven't had a fight, just things change in your life and you have to re assess your goals.

We will be closed from December 22nd till January 8th and it will be business as usual.

Thanks to all our past customers , welcome to our future ones and we wish you all a Merry Christmas.

If anyone is seriously interested in purchasing a business that has excellent turnover, good profit figures , secure lease then call me direct.

I can assure you for those who are into the investment scenario , this returns far better %'s than buying a rental property :P:D

Cheers

Ken

For the time being, nothing will really change. There is no need to find another shop.

Ken will still be at the helm, and our 2 long-time technicians Andrew and Mike will be out the back slaving away, so the same standards of service and scope of work will be available.

I will be available for specialist tuning on an appointment basis through Hyperdrive. Bookings can be made through Ken provided I am available, otherwise the boys can handle the more basic stuff themselves (s-afc, power runs etc) and as Ken says we have another tuner on back-up.

So it really is business as usual.

Anyone interested in the business would be hard pressed to find a better set-up operation with a good reputation and loyal customer base. With the 2 behind the scenes men wanting to stay onboard after the sale, the transition for all couldnt be any better.

Thanks to all for the wishes.

Only 3 years but straight to the top rung on the workshop front with a solid reputation for quality work and tuning its a pity it will change hands but going out on a high not in shame like other workshops have had collapsed in. Pro operation good luck with what comes.

sad to see a highly respected shop losing its familiar faces but like the mayhoe said good to go out with a highly respected name

dad will be pissed, he was rather happy about being the first car that ever got a service there and how yous went about business (JRJ 1 - shiraz S14a, 17" sparco's, suspension work, stock mechanics) :wave:

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
