Default Just random work week pics at RCautoworks

Figured some of you guys like pics of shops and what not.









Check out the fitment, the flex is pretty much touching the oil pan




We have some warm days, we have some cold days, then we have days where we get over a foot of snow



Yep, snow. Here is a customers car that actually slide into another eg a few weeks back.






I myself told him it would be good for road racing as it would help with turning

Our next car this week that we worked on was a si, as you can see in the pics. The car from outside looked like a sleeper... well after this week it didn't . Customer went with 3 inch piping ( yes we told him it was a tad to much but he has other plans in the future )



Notice the stock piping still on the car, that will be coming off next week for 3 inch exhaust done by us



Brandon, thinking about what to do next, and why I always take pictures of his backside.

Some more piping






Prelude with an f23.... yep. Came in with all wrong mounts, engine sitting on an angle, we had to figure out how to solve it and we did.



Don't mind the manifold on there ( not ours ) the turbo nails the alternator.

Overall shot of the shop




And finally a custom mini ram, side mounted wastegate and this customer actually wanted the turbo closer to the block.

Thanks, yes its a tight fitment. Its actually bending down a little bit due to the flex pipe flexing. We test fit and take a lot of time before the final product is welded up, in the end its worth it.

Believe it or not, it was pretty dirty. I'm very ocd and **** about the shop upkeep but since its me and one other guy working here, its hard taking time out to clean. We just work and work... which is always good in its own way.

Thank you, we are always looking at ways to improve our design and ourselves. If everything was always the same, things would get boring and routine.
