4.0 Land Rover Discovery getting some refurbished heads going on. Repair work for Autosure
Good progress make, 1 rocker cover and the rest of the intake to refit, alternator, AC, oil, Coolant and away we go…!
2016 Wish-list
Coming up to our 3rd year anniversary as the new owners in Wellington and we are looking to upgrade/add on to our courtesy cars. With a view to up-spec an already very cool car to showcase some of the things we like to do and certainly the types of cars we enjoy seeing through the workshop. Its a tough decision to know what that car might be and we still aren’t sold on this one yet, however it is a great looking car that is well appointed from the factory, the 2.0 TFSI engine poking out 200 Hp with a DSG S-Tronic gearbox behind it, driving power to 4 wheels, I’m excited.
This pics represents one that’s already been modded, so you get the idea of where this is heading.. We don’t have an unlimited budget, so want to have something that’s reasonably priced from the start, and for an additional $4-5000 can be turned into something very exciting… Is the TT it??
What we might get that’s suits the budget could be: Remap, miltek exhaust and intake mods, some wrapping, some tinting and some lowering, all of which will be done on site…
Our other project is to retire our old P38 Range rover to a new home and get into a later Land Rover Discovery 2.7TD. We see this as a great promotional vehicle for our Bluefin/Superchips product as a demonstrator, with a stage 1 tune boasting an additional 100NM of torque, as well as up to 10% in fuel saving when driven for economy. Also looking to deck out with Rhino-Rack gear so we have it available to show off and demo as needed. We love our old P38 Range Rover but I think its time to upgrade…, again, is this the vehicle we go for, nothing is set in stone, that’s why its a ‘wish list’.

Audi upgrade time.
Massive brake kit for the front and an external oil cooler, light weight pulleys etc for the engine.
But it says Porsche??
This is an upgrade kit for an Audi S4 out of one of the many performance shops out of the USA. Sold as a bolt on kit for the S4, we soon found out it wasn’t quite that straight forward, but not an issue for our guys. None of the mountings etc needed any modifying which made certification nice and easy.
Massive calipers, but very light, keeping the un-sprung weight to a minimum…
Huge Slotted discs, what else can we say, just awesome!
Trial Fitment, looking good.
External oil cooler being fitted here, very tight squeeze..
Adapter plate for the oil cooler lines to route to.
Good bye old friend.. the shops busy so needed to make some more room. The parts S-type Jaguar is stripped and gone…
The latest purchase, this is what my current one looked like before I started 4wdriving, now covered in scratches and a nasty dent.
This one, destination unknown, couldn’t turn it down!!!
