TheTunersGroup Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I'm based in Sydney. Some of you may know me from the JDM Style Tuning forum, which my company is a sponsor of. I've been involved in many forms of motorsport including Formula Ford, Porsche club racing, Australian touring cars and endurance racing. I've spent quite a bit of time in Japan and the US West Coast, particularly the SEMA show, and have spent quite a bit of time round Laguna Seca in northern California. What I Do For Work Workwise I run a parts company in Sydney called The Tuners Group. Some of you may have seen our promo girls at various events ... We're the official exclusive Australian distributors for Works Bell (the makers of the world's finest steering wheel quick releases - and sponsors of Toshiki Yoshioka's AE86 & Team Orange), so any of you who are involved in Drift Australia may already know me. We're currently giving away a FREE Works Bell Rapfix II Quick Release and Works Bell Original Steering Wheel to celebrate our appointment as Works Bell's Official Exclusive Australian Distributor Details are here ... http://www.tunersgroup.com/win.html We're also the official Australian distributors for the Forced Ignition anti-carjacking immobiliser systems, and an authorised supplier for AEM and HRE Wheels. Project Cars I've been building project cars since about 1990. This is a pretty wild recent project car we've had a bit to do with - built by a close family friend which has just had a photoshoot done for one of the major Australian automotive magazines ... It's built on a '71 911 shell with a completely custom supercharger setup. It regularly outruns GT3's and 911 turbos at Porsche Club events here. Lap times are ... Eastern Creek: 1 min 44s Oran South: 48 secs Oran GP: 1 min 17 secs Wakefield: 1 min 06 secs. The dyno chart tells the story - it's very very linear ... The weight of the car with a full fuel tank, no passenger seat and no spare wheel is 1124 kg Videos of it are here ... http://www.tunersgroup.com/Videos/Supercharged_911.html Full info on the car here ... http://www.supercharged911.com It's an absolute weapon We haven't built a Skyline yet, so part of my reason for joining this forum is to learn as much about Skylines as possible. - Adam Edited September 6, 2008 by TheTunersGroup Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/235009-just-joined-in-sydney-in-the-tuning-parts-industry/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
