Some more massive brakes brought to you by Audi RS4….
Below are some even BIGGER brakes, V10 verse V8
When you get told the replacement lights are $2400+gst each its time to think outside the box.
These lights would not pass a WOF and I thought were not able to be salvaged, but we gave them a go anyway, Very happy with the result as is the customer!!!
Some heavily corroded brake pistons here, unfit to reuse ..
S600 Mercedes with a leaking oil cooler. Pays to have mechanical insurance!!
Major work to get to the oil cooler that is nestled between the cylinder heads, common failure for the seal to leak as shown with this cooler weve separated.
Heads off, major surgery
Nice little job this week, engine light on, faulty PCV valve, Job for Autosure mechanical warranty to attend too..
2012 Audi Q7 with some AC faults, blowing hot air on one side in the rear. Big AC unit in the left rear of the car.
Late January 2016 we have organised Bluefin/Superchips to be onsite.. As we have a few vehicles lined up while they are here we are able to offer a 10% discount this time around.
We’ve had a huge amount of interest lately for VW Golf GTi and R32, as well as the 2.7 and 3.0 TD Discovery and Range Rover sport engines.
The Turbo engines respond especially well to stage 1 remaps and in a lot of cases fuel efficiency gains have been reported back to us. This is definitely the case with the Discovery/Range Rover engines we have remapped where there is nearly an additional 100NM’s of torque added.
Here is a typical spec sheet for a MK5 GTi Golf with a Stage 1 remap

Two of our newest customers in today for servicing, super busy day, always enjoy having new cars in the shop…
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’.
