Surgeline Tuning Grand Opening!!

October 4th -

Surgeline Tuning's grand opening was a smashing success, local vendors were on hand showing off their goods (including ourselves). SurgeLine Tuning will focus not only on Subarus but will extend its reach into other performance markets such as Nissan 350z, Nissan GTR, MazdaSpeed 3, 6, and Cx-7, Mazda RX8, Infinity G35/37, and Mitsibushi Evo. The Surgeline team has extensive experience and this means they can offer tuning services available no where else in the USA. We were glad to be apart of the grand opening, and had a good time, we were just hoping to be able to unveil our new 08 Sti enclosure at this event, but that will have to be another day. On to some pics from the event:

08 Subaru Sti/Wrx Slimline enclosure in the works!!

Sept 08

We've been working on an enclosure for the new Subaru Sti/wrx hatch, there are a few snags we have run into along the way, but one key element has helped us tons. The 10" slim line woofer from Exile Audio(link). This woofer has enabled us to build a sleek looking enclosure and still maintain the trunk space. The enclosure is in the mold process now, and we hope to have it out before the holiday season. Be sure to check the blog frequently for updated information.

Here's a few sneak peeks:

Perfect Fit enclosure for 05+ Mustang released

July 08

We finally got the enclosure done for the newer Ford Mustang, we had a million different directions we were going while working on this, so it took a while to get the mold going and finished, but it's done now and ready.

Specs:

Internal Airspace: 1.13-1.16 cubic feet
Mounting Hole Dia: 11 inches
Weight: 15 lbs.
Flush Trim Ring inside Dia: 11.25 inches

Each Enclosure comes with: Flush trim ring wrapped in black vinyl, high quality terminal cup with the ability to accept up to 8 gauge speaker wire, 3 to 4 feet of 12 gauge Phoenix Gold speaker wire for inside the enclosure, pre-drilled hole for mounting, mounting hardware with instructions, stuffed with polyfill sound dampening for smoother bass response, and Audio Integrations Full Warranty.
No Drilling Required!! This Perfect Fit Enclosure mounts firmly to your Mustang with only one bolt! We do provide a second mounting bolt and hardware if so desired for an even more secure mount. Once bolted down with the included hardware, your enclosure won't be going anywhere no matter how crazy you drive! Using a factory hole in your trunk and our pre-drilled hole in the enclosure it makes for an easy and stealthy install. The mounting hole in the enclosure is standard unless otherwise requested.

Lightweight fiberglass headlights and dash for Pdx tuning time attack car

April 08

After Doing some headlight blanks and lightweight fiberglass dash for PDX tunings' time attack Sti, they prestented us with another similar project for the time attack Evo. We decided to bag a bit of carbon fiber into the molds we had built off of the factory headlights, we then cleared them with a satin finish and delivered them to PDX tuning. They also wanted a light weight dash similar to the subaru, and we had mentioned we still had the mold for the subaru one and that it was only a 1/2" or so difference in the dimensions between the two, so we popped another one off the mold for that as well.

Perfect Fit enclosure for Mini Cooper released

March 07

The smallest of enclosure we have built is here, the MC10. This one is a bit different from our other lines because we didn't have a whole lot of room for the flush trim, so we opted to go without it.

The specs:

Internal Airspace: .70 -.80 cubic feet
Mounting Hole Dia: 9.125 inches
Weight: 13 lbs.

The MC10 comes with: High quality terminal cup with the ability to accept up to 8 gauge speaker wire, 2 to 3 feet of 12 gauge Phoenix Gold speaker wire for inside the enclosure, pre-drilled hole for mounting, mounting hardware with instructions, stuffed with polyfill sound dampening for smoother bass response, and comes with Audio Integrations Full Warranty.

No Drilling Required!! This Perfect Fit Enclosure mounts firmly to your Mini with a threaded stud and nut! So no matter how crazy you drive your enclosure won't be going anywhere. Using a factory stud in the storage compartment and our pre-drilled hole in the enclosure it makes for an easy and stealthy install.

Another Subaru for Project One

Feb 08

Erich from project one brought us down his 04 Wrx, after doing many shows, he met up with some guys at Memphis Audio, they agreed on getting him setup with some gear. Since the car wasn't a daily driver, and has a harness bar, we were left with plenty of room to play with in the trunk. The car has a v-brace strut bar in the back which complicated things, but also helped out with some design cues. We decided to go with a floating theme of sorts. The crossovers located in the v-brace appear to be floating, and you can run your fingers between them and the brace all the way around the brace. The amps were mounted in a welded panel that was bolted to the car which helped off set the weight and give us a floating look. One of the overlooked areas in most cars is the battery area, erich wanted a clean looking setup without wires running in all directions. We made a panel that held the fuse holder out of black plexi to match the car.

Lightweight Subaru Dash For Pdx Tunings' time attack Sti

October 07

Pdx Tuning needed to lose as much weight as possible on their time attack car. They approached us about possibly making a fiberglass replica of the dash, some headlight blanks, and some bigger canards for the bumper. Time was short so we got on it as fast as possible, and smoothed the dash out filling the airbag clock pod and all vents, then we went about building a fiberglass mold. All said and done, the new dash weighed in around three pounds, down from eleven. The headlights weighed in around ten pounds, and if I remember right we got the covers down around a pound a piece.

R32 Skyline Build

July 07

One of the more rare cars we've worked on is this 89 Skyline GTR. When it came to us, it had a bit of dinginess going on in the trunk, most of the panels were dirty, so we decided to fiberglass a whole new trunk. We also did a battery cover/holdown, which apparently we only have one finished picture of it, and what a great picture it is. Anyway, we used existing gear from another car, and went to work. A lot of time was spent just trying to get all the panels just right. The hole to the left of the woofer was put there in order to let the woofer breathe into the cabin area. We finished in time for the customer to leave here, and drive straight to hot import nights.

Lexus Soarer (SC300)

June 07

This build out was another somewhat basic one, besides the glassing of the bottom of the enclosure in the wheel well, there was a bit of glass work on the cover panel, but for the most part it remained flat, which definately helps on install time and difficulty. Customer brought us his two Jl amps, and an Image Dynamics Idmax 12, very impressive woofer. We had done a build for his other car previously, and had built a plexi grill, and he wanted something similar this time.

05 Volvo box build

June 07

This was a pretty basic build compared to most, one 10" Diamond sub and amp off of the factory volvo radio. The customer wanted a bit more bass, but wanted to keep a nice factory look. The one thing that caused issues was the release lever, it just added some more sanding time. The enclosure had a fiberglass back, and wood sides, then was finished out with a trim matched to factory carpet and a vinyl flush trim to conceal woofer screws and flush the amp in.
