Default Restart the bussines in new shop, Eastern Europe, Latvia, Riga

Would like to share our progress, I'm in H-T for more than 3 years, hope I have rights to post such news.

We are begin to work in autumn in 2004. Rent the 50 square meters space in metal work shop. We did several engine swaps. Then in winter, same 2004 we move to 100 square meters big garage, in the center of city. Legalize our business in May 2005. We did most of our job there, actually build all business there. But this place have some serious problems, bad roof, old gates, no security, bad baiting-place and high rent cost. Lot of costumers don't return because of bad costumer service from view point of car safety and comfort for them. We can work as good as can but this place become like drowned ship for our business.
It was hard decision, there was two ways! Close everything or go big. So, we decide second way. Now we move in to brand new space in big car repair center. It's more than 4000 square meters. We rent the 120 sm of space. There are possibility to rent the office too. This center can repair the crashed cars, paint them (newest/biggest painting camera in country), exhaust gas diagnostics and many more services. We can offer those services for our costumers too.

So here are some pics of our new shop:








Air terminal:






My idea not to advertise our shop here, but to show that thinks could happened if you are hard worker, fanatic of what you are doing. There are always risk, especially in this time when everything could changes fast.

So, I'm proud to say that we are now biggest tuning shop in our country for standard Japan cars. We can build, swap, deliver engines and tune them.

We located in Eastern Europe, Latvia, Riga.

Old shop:




Any comments welcome.

You welcome man!

Thanks to everyone!



Our target job and what we did till now are tuning of Honda and Nissan 200sx series cars. Engine selling, engine repairs, performance rebuild for engines. Custom turbo systems, upgrades and exhaust system. Suspension upgrades and many more jobs. ECU and stand alone system installing and tuning. We have deal with local dyno shop that's why I don't need the own expensive dyno to buy. In future we plan to start work with Subaru Impreza turbo series cars. That's total different cars. We have lot of them here! Actualy it's a next car for allmoust everybody who owns before Civic Type-R. Funny!
