Popular Services
Brake Caliper Refurbishment
Don't let corroded calipers ruin your car's appearance or performance. Our comprehensive refurbishment service includes complete strip down, vapour blasting, new seals and pins, plus powder coating in any colour you choose. Transform those tired calipers into a showpiece while ensuring perfect brake performance.
Coilover Service & Rebuild
Knocking noises? Seized height adjustment? We service all major coilover brands including BC Racing, Tein, HKS, and Ohlins. Our service includes complete disassembly, thread restoration, fresh damper oil, and new seals where needed. Get that smooth ride back without buying new coilovers.
FA20 Front Cover Oil Leak Repair
The dreaded front timing cover leak affects most FA20s eventually. We properly fix it with complete removal, vapour blasting for perfect surface preparation, and correct Toyota sealant. Add custom powder coating while it's off to enhance your engine bay. No more oil spots on your driveway.
Engine Services
Rod Knock Rebuild
Our comprehensive FA20 rebuild service addresses rod knock with upgraded ACL race bearings, new crankshaft, forged rods, and supporting modifications. We turn disaster into opportunity, building you a stronger, more reliable engine ready for anything you throw at it.
Valve Spring Recall & Upgrade
Still running factory valve springs? Even if your car wasn't part of the recall, these are a known weak point. We install upgraded springs with proper shimming and valve clearance adjustment. Essential preventive maintenance for high-mileage or tracked cars.
Carbon Cleaning Service
Direct injection means carbon buildup on intake valves - it's inevitable on the FA20. Our walnut blasting service safely removes deposits without dismantling the engine. Restore lost power, improve idle quality, and reduce emissions. Recommended every 40,000 miles.
Oil Cooler Installation
Keep temperatures under control with a quality oil cooler kit. We install thermostatic sandwich plate systems that only cool when needed. Essential for track days or spirited driving, especially on forced induction cars. Includes all lines, fittings, and fresh oil.
Cooling System
Radiator & AC Condenser Replacement
Damaged by stone chips or just age? We replace both standard and upgrade to performance aluminium radiators. The AC condenser often needs replacement at the same time due to its vulnerable position. We ensure proper cooling for both engine and cabin comfort.
Coolant System Service
More than just a flush - we inspect all hoses, test the radiator cap, check for leaks, and refill with correct Toyota coolant. Upgrade to a low-temperature thermostat while we're at it for extra cooling capacity. Prevent overheating before it happens.
Drivetrain Services
Clutch & Flywheel Upgrade
Stock clutch slipping? We install everything from OEM replacements to twin-plate race units. Lightweight flywheel options improve throttle response. All installations include fresh fluid, proper bedding procedure, and pedal adjustment for perfect engagement.
Gearbox Service & Rebuild
Crunching synchros or difficult shifts? From basic fluid changes to complete rebuilds with upgraded synchros, we keep your transmission shifting smoothly. We can also install short shifter kits and upgraded bushings for more precise gear changes.
Differential Service
Often overlooked but crucial for performance. We service the differential with proper fluid and can upgrade to a proper limited-slip unit. Particularly important for tracked cars or those with increased power. Includes new gaskets and proper break-in procedure.
Suspension & Handling
Geometry Setup & Corner Weighting
Proper alignment is about more than pointing straight. We offer full geometry setup including corner weighting for balanced handling. Essential after lowering or suspension modifications. Custom settings available for road, fast road, or track use.
Polyurethane Bush Installation
Replace worn rubber bushings throughout the suspension with durable polyurethane. Improves handling precision and feedback without excessive harshness. We cover everything from anti-roll bar bushes to full suspension arm sets.
Maintenance Services
Annual Service Packages
Keep your GT86/BRZ in top condition with our comprehensive service packages. Includes engine oil and filter, brake fluid, coolant check, and multi-point inspection. Additional services like spark plugs, transmission fluid, and differential oil at appropriate intervals.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Buying a used GT86 or BRZ? Our thorough inspection covers all major systems, common problem areas, and modification quality. We provide a detailed report with photos, helping you make an informed decision or negotiate a fair price.
Track Day Preparation
Track Day Safety Inspection
Ensure your car is ready for circuit work with our comprehensive check. We inspect brakes, suspension, fluids, and safety equipment. Includes torque check of critical bolts, fluid top-ups, and advice on any issues found. Available as pre-event or annual package.
Brake Upgrade Packages
From fast road pads to full big brake kits, we help you stop as well as you go. Popular upgrades include performance pads, braided lines, high-temp fluid, and larger discs. We can advise on the best setup for your driving style and budget.
