Has anybody heard about them? They are located in Minden and are apparently quite the force to be reckoned with. At the last big Time Attack Battle they beat the AMS Team's EVO X with their stunning EVO 8.

Anyway, my dad told me about this shop and has met the owner and toured the shop. Supposedly they have a few WRX's in the shop too. Local AWD Dyno maybe? I'm looking forward to meeting these guys, I was just wondering if anybody else has even heard of the company...

Yeah, I'd be interested to hear if they have an AWD dyno.

I saw that car over at Kaminari when they were working on it there. Tis truly bad-ass. Ray welded the end tanks on the custom intercooler and some other stuff, and Kamanari did a lot of carbon fiber work on it. Ray toured the shop too, and I believe he said they have an AWD dyno, but it is privately used for their various racing ventures.

I used to sell them parts when I worked at Allison. The people that I met seemed like pretty cool guys. I didn't know they were working on Subarus though.

Yeah, you should do that and find out what it's like having a crazy modded 500 hp Evo! I bet it's awesome.

I think your Evo has enough soup in it.

Yeah, it was all Campbell's Chunky, but then he sold all the bits off chicken and the larger vegetables so its more of a cheap-o condensed Chicken Noodle.

I heard about them after their Unlimited AWD victory but had no idea they were located in Minden. That would be awesome if they opened their doors to customers, not that they need to.
