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.

10" 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. The mounting hole in the enclosure is standard unless otherwise requested. Please contact us before ordering if your needs differ. The Enclosure comes standard wrapped in O.E.M. matching carpet.  We also made an Instruction vedeo found here.

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.
