Scanwest Autosport

A fun collection of cars and projects in the shop this week so far.

Spotted at Scanwest Autosport today. Beautiful 2005 Subaru WRX Eric! Thanks for coming by!

Book ends to the perfect car collection? A pair of beautiful black 900 Turbos, 1990 and 1988

We had a beautiful 1991 VW Westfalia Syncro with a conversion to a 1.8 turbo Audi engine, come in for some air conditioning work The conversion looked perfect, like it had always been there but 'chipped' producing 240hp. We usually don't work on the Vanagons (too tall for our lower ceilings) but he wanted the air condition to work his trip to Southern California. Great stories from the customer about keeping up with sports cars from a stop light and the shocked faces of the drivers from the sports cars, in disbelief that a Vanagon is keeping up and sometimes passing them!

A clean original 1974 Saab Sonett III in for service this week. Fixed an oil leak from the mechanical fuel pump and some repair work to the emergency brake. We also installed the ignition distributor last year from 123Ignition, very cool product! The user can create a custom ignition and advance curves to get the maximum potential out the engine through an app on their phone.

I still find it incredible (which might show my age) that since the early 2000's the BMW, Mini, Audi, VW, SAAB brands we work on have had the capability to have repairs done via the internet. Occasionally, using the factory ISTA/P, ODIS, and TIS, a software update can repair an issue for a car rather than replacing a part. Pretty amazing and it is common place now for any car brand. Updating the software on a 2008 BMW X3.

An actual size Mini Cooper in for service today! A clean example of the R56 2nd generation Mini.

Continuing with some performance work on a 2008 Subaru STI, installing Ohlin coilovers at all four corners and making the rear suspension adjustable for any camber and toe adjustment needed. Happy motoring Subie!
