Some exciting new builds at AMS!

We haven't really posted much up here on the site in a little while mainly because with all this new room we have had time to finish up and start some really exciting projects. Rich was able to take a breath today and walk around to document some of our recent and current builds.

First on the list is our Customer Steves 2.3 37R EVO IX. Quite possibly the meanest looking EVO we have built here at the shop. This thing is just sinister. We have not quite detailed the car yet but you can get an idea of the work steve has had us put into the car.









This is probably our biggest undertaking in a while. What you are witnessing below is the complete recreation of our Drag car. Thats right! One of our customers Gabe from Texas shipped his car to us and quite simply said "Im tired of playing around, I want a drag car" no expense is being spared. Gabe is even having us completely replicate our current turbo and intercooler kit. Carbon Everywhere. You name it, its being done. Looks like we are going to have two 8 sec cars in our stable in the months to come!














Lastly is a unique build here at AMS. This is a very nice Porsche belonging to a very close friend of the shop. You might know his brother (frank, ams staff member) we are essentially turning this wild street car into a track terror. Suspension, cage. you name it and its being done. A truly WILD car.








There ya have it, Things are pretty busy here at AMS. Summer is going to be FUN!

Eric

Steves car has to have one of the nicest roll cages for a street car that I have seen.I saw it when it was at a shop much closer to my home and it was completely user friendly,even back seat was totally useable. Steve,could you comment on where you had that done at,even p.m. me as to not clutter up this thread,thanks.

Anthonys car is here and getting a touch up tune to be sent on its way. Rich is going to do nice shoot on the car before it leaves. I wasn't trying to take away from Anthony's car at all, rather outline some of the new things we were doing at the shop

I love how the wastegate dumptube on the Porsche doubles as the left exhaust pipe
