Since we don't always have time to post up the high-res images from the SLR camera we thought it would be cool to post up the instagram images we take of the daily work going on at the shop. Since we've been doing the instagram thing for awhile it will take us some time to get caught up on here. If you have Instagram already just follow us.

Check us out on Instagram

Torn axle boot from the WRX. There must be a lot of road debris around as we see this a lot

Almost 300,000km on this 2002 WRX, who says turbo cars don't last?

Working on making this Spec C manifold work with Perrin Top Feed rails. No more Magnus for this car...

Whiteline Anti-Lift Kit that we installed on the 2002 WRX from yesterday. Was quite a battle against the front subframe bolts but we won that battle!

This is a 2011 Subaru STi that we installed GTWorx Bilsteins along with Swift Spec R Springs. The car has had about 2500KM on it and has been aligned by Scott at Can-Alignment. Overall impressions were really good from the owner. After a little playing around we found that the GTWorx are valve too soft for the rear Spec R spring rates and do not work well together. This could be solved with a dampening adjustment knob

DBA 4000 T3 Club Spec rotors that went on a 2006 STi

Defi BF series gauges we installed for the customer in his carbon wrapped ATI triple pod.

We're starting to see more and more of these in the shop, it's fun taking on new cars and challenges.

DBA 5000 2-piece front rotors for the Evo X. Being fitted with Ferodo DS2500 pads as well.

3-Bolt header on a GD STi, fitments seems pretty off as the header wrap is being torn up by the subframe even after it appears to have been clearanced for installation.

Really a nice looking wheel, would have loved a set of these on my LGT when it was still around.

The Cryo-Stop rotors represent a great value for STi owners in need of replacement blank rotors for their car.

2006 STi with a blown header, lots of stuff going on in this engine bay.

Yeah, that's not right!

Customer supplied Tomioka Racing EL Header - FYI this ended up cracking at the head flanges and was replaced with a Tomei Header this year.

It's always nice to work on new cars with bolts that are not corroded once in awhile
