AMS GTR Project car. *pics inside*

last week we were visited by our good friends and customers Frank and Mike Lipani. Frank and Mike are no stranger to Horsepower, having owned an AMS built 2.3 37R EVO they know speed and quite simply LOVE IT.

It was for this reason Frank and Mike called us up and offered us a project that was too sweet to pass up on. Frank and Mike want an AMS Built GTR! Over the winter we will be learning the in's and outs to this Japanese supercar and improving areas where we see fit. We will of course take the same approach to parts for the GTR as we have with all the varying makes and models in our lineup. Reliability, Performance and Quality will be at the forefront of every single part we build for the GTR. The Lipani's and AMS both have the same end goal in mind of making this a very streetable and manageable car. We are not going to turn it into a single purpose car but rather an all around car that I think we all can envy just a bit.

Everyone here at AMS wants to thank the Lipani's for not only having the faith in us to take their car to the next level but for being some of the best people we have every worked with. You started out as customers but above all you our are now friends.

I will do my best to keep everyone informed every step of the way as we start our next journey.....

Project AMS GTR!

Guys, keep pushing the envelope and don't forget to apply/incorporate new lessons learned through this project to the products you make and sell for the Mitsus!!!

Best of luck with this project!!!

i wonder how u guys are gonna fit bigger turbo's in that small engine bay. I check it out b4(in person) and there is about 1 inch of space (if that) between the turbo and wheel wall. I'm sure u can hit low 10's with bpu.
