Full Lock Motor Works

Haven't posted on the shop page in a WHILE, thought you might all appreciate an update.

Are you around anymore?

Yes! We definitely are, but have been much more focused on other revenue streams and traveling more for drift events. Feel free to check out my personal IG for that sort of thing ( )

What have you been up to?

In the last year we've built 4 seat time drift cars (some for clients, some for our fleet), reduced the volume of work through the shop in favor of more interesting and personally fulfilling work, and moved away from publicly advertising services

Are you still accepting work?

Yes, BUT, many jobs are being turned away. General service work, small jobs, and vehicles outside of our specific wheel house are mostly being turned away. That said, please feel free to continue reaching out if you believe that what we do is of value to you. This IS300 drivetrain overhaul came in from a follower we had not met before and we were happy to get it on the schedule. You may receive a no, but we are still happy to speak with you and put together an estimate if the work is a good fit.

What's the deal with Valino wheels and tires?

While we generally do not hold inventory outside of tires for team use, we are equipped to fulfill orders of Valino products and are happy to help. Outside of group buy events, we will not be able to assist with quantities of less than 8-10 tires and we will refer you to a local retailer for those needs. That said, we generally are able to provide better than average pricing on qualifying orders. You will need to reach out for more information.

Hope everyone is having a great 2025 so far. If we can make it better, drop a DM

Someone mentioned an "off season."

When exactly is that?

Back from drift week, and immediately made it out to for Thanksgiving weekend. Up next, Winter Matsuri, and then right after Christmas it's the NYE event at

Sounds like a lot of tires to me. We're stocking up on tires for the winter season, and are accepting orders as well.

DM if we can help with your wheel and tire needs, vehicle maintenance, or any other automotive requirements

Had a rowdy weekend with the shop cars at this weekend. The seat time Z did a fantastic job, and with some improvements it will be ok it's way to an event in 2 weeks at

It's very gratifying to see just how good these cars are for building up new drivers.

Feel free to reach out with any and all automotive needs, for your drift car or otherwise.

Slow weekend at the shop. We'll be starting on something exciting in the morning, so a little time to finish off other things is great

Today is the day. We're diving in on the Jag today. The 1997 XK8 is getting a new set of timing chains, guides, and tensioners. This is a common failure point on these vehicles, and unfortunately there's no permanent solution but to refresh the whole system with quality replacement parts.

On the table, we've got a high quality kit that uses OEM components, and two sets of tools specific to this job. This is gonna be a big one and the last thing we want is to go in unprepared. Very excited to get this done so we can get the Miata to it's date with the tuner later this week.

As always, feel free to drop us a line with your vehicles service, repair, or modification needs.

Got new one in today. This 2004 CTS dropped by for some diag on suspension noise and a nonfunctional horn. Boring stuff for sure, but if you can't do this you can't build drift cars.
We're always glad to help out our friends and neighbors, even with the everyday stuff.
Be sure to drop a line with your service, repair, or modification needs

Stoked with the progress we've made on the turbo setup for on his Miata. All we're missing are some power steering fittings and it'll be ready for the Dyno.
For those that don't know, the car is a 1.8 swap and now equipped with a turbo. Supporting hardware includes a coolant reroute and radiator from and , a custom top mount manifold, management by , and additional sensors and gauges from

Stoked to get her to a Dyno and see what she makes and get the car to it's debut soon.

Stay tuned and follow the owner for updates in future

If you thought working on that boat was different, this is even more out of left field. This 97 Jaguar XK8 belongs to a friend of the shop and we'll be diagnosing some oil pressure and performance issues. Not something we'd usually take on, but this car is so immaculate and well cared for we decided it was worth helping out with.

Finally getting to work on this Subaru that's been at the shop. We'll be rebuilding the engine with help from our preferred machinist here in town, and should have this Outback back out on the road soon.

Super excited to be driving this year's Lone Star Drift Cora demo event in March. If your drift car, street car, or even daily needs some love getting ready for the 2021 season give us a call!

UPDATES FROM THE PAST WEEK! We have a meeting addition to the emporium a beautiful factory manual sedan! This car may be for sale but before It is we needed to do a clutch and rear main job on It because the old clutch was toast! Pulled It apart and three in a brand new and It feels better than ever! If the car gets listed we will be posting for It so keep an eye out if you’ve been looking for a new daily or drift platform!

Some work from over the weekend! A customer brought in their beautiful to replace their cats with new test pipes. We also replaced the water pump and sorted out some cooling issues! Shoot us a text or dm today to book an appointment
