This Audi RS5 should feel brand new after everything we refreshed! It received a transmission service, rear differential service, LIQUI MOLY oil change, cleaned & adjusted windshield washer modules, cabin air filter, brake fluid flush and a precision alignment.

GLE63 AMG had aftermarket downpipes installed as well as an alignment. We dropped the entire front subframe to get the optimal clearance for installation.

And we're back with this 718 Cayman S track car, diagnosing & repairing a ticking noise coming from the rear axle (caused by a height level sensor disconnecting and riding on the axle boot), brake fluid flush, oil change, and a 997 GT3 brake booster + master cylinder.

Cayman after Cayman, we ain't complainin'. This Sapphire Blue GT4 came in for some FORGELINE NW105 wheels, Yokohama Tires, Rennline Inc. stud conversion, IPD / Innovative Pro Design intake plenum + throttle body, and FVD Brombacher intakes with their tune pushing the power to an estimated 412hp.

The custom tartan drop-in seat inserts and Black Forest Industries alcantara shift k**b are a beautiful, yet subtle touch to the interior that really bring the whole car together.

Unveiling our latest build on this mint 997 Porsche GT3 RS for a professional race car driver! 🏁 This beauty now boasts the Dundon Motorsports D4 Street Power package.

The D4 package consists of:
- Dundon headers with cats
- Dundon Lifetime Muffler with titanium tip
- Dundon Resonance intake manifold with a larger throttle body
- Dundon Dual Cone Carbon Fiber Air Intake
- COBB Tuning Accessport with pro-tune

This alone adds roughly 80whp over the factory setup, but we didn't stop there. We also installed a 4.0L clutch & flywheel, allowing the engine to rev more freely, Öhlins Racing - Automotive Racing TTX Pro Coilovers, KW suspensions Porsche PASM delete kit, fresh pads for the PCCBs, precision alignment, and a corner balance. To top it off, we gave it a full detail and System X Ceramic Protection exterior coating for that flawless finish.

The GT3 RS is essentially a road-going race car from the factory; with these additions, we know this particular driver will have a blast behind the wheel of his rare machine.

The mean Audi RS7 with Unitronic's brand new red carbon kevlar intake and RedStar Exhaust USA downpipes is back! Pushing the build even further, we installed a Capristo Exhaust USA valved exhaust with carbon fiber tips and H&R Special Springs, LP. sport springs.

Unitronic is currently developing their stage-2 tune for the 2024 model year, but when it's released, this vehicle will be well into the 800hp range. We can't wait!

This Cayman S came to us with several modifications already done like the LOUD exhaust, Sparco seats & harnesses, brake rotors, and much more. We were given the task to maintain this track car by replacing all the fluids ( oil, Castrol brake fluid, PDK service), and installing sway bars, rear crossmember support, electronic damping (Porsche PASM) cancellation kit, titanium wheel studs, and a laser alignment.

Look forward to seeing this at a track near you.

991 Cabriolet 4s - 60,000 mile major service which consists of an oil change, spark plugs, engine air filter, cabin air filters, drive belt replacement, PDK fluid change as well as front diff fluid.

991 Turbo S - Our favorite spec is back for a fresh set of Michelin PS4S.
