+Till the 13th+

Hey team we love Ultimates, this will be the last post till the 13th of October, i'm going on holidays!

But i can grantee that there will be some very cool posts coming up when i get back, and also the still have to plan our Grand Opening Event and we have to get the X back from Hyperflow and we have a Track day only 19 days away from today, not to mention v mounted RX7's and purple people eater wagons

so I'll see you back here on the 13th of October

Customer Car: Bad Ass Bug Eye (aka BABE)

I know what your thinking: "Shaun it's just a blue bug eye rex, dude just get over it!" But really is that what this is, just another rex...?

No, I personally don't see many other rexes rocking 18" Gold Enkei's and oh my word are they, no they can't be, THEY ARE, MASSIVE AP calipers on the front which look like they used to be part of a Boeing 747!

But yeah other then that it's stock, now lift the bonnet and WHAT LIES BENEATH? EJ20 hooked up to a Black Label TD06-20G! other nice bits include a front mount cooler, cold air intake and to control the whole sh-bang, the wonderful and undetectable but super tunerable ECUtek.

What does all this equal, well it gives you about 220awkw's on around 17-18psi, which ain't to shabby, considering this is temporary engine, that's right next year brings 2010 and plans of an EJ25 Monster, and more track oriented goodies.

Now should i just get over it?

Our X @ Hyperflow

Over the course of the weekend we dropped our Evolution X at Hyperflow headquarters in Wollongong, it will be getting used as the development vehicle for Hyperflows new range of air intake and intercooler systems coming out very soon for the X, we expect the car back in about 3 weeks.

But before then a few of the team from Hyperflow have enlisted themselves at the next track day so be sure to say hi, also it's nice to see a parts company getting out amongst the users for some good times and product research.

Be sure to check out their website for a full list of applications http://www.hyperflow.com.au/

and drop us a line if you like what you see.

DK (drifto king) by Track Day?!

Yes, boys and girls the challenge has been thrown down by Mr Paul and His 330kw R32 GTR, after obviously being inspired by the White R33 GTR cutting loose last track day, Paul is going to kick out sideways like a Donkey!

So to all the other competitors, please take this as your first and final warning, that if you see his grey GTR hooking into a the last right hander at Wakefield, it's probably, best NOT to attempt to take him from the outside. unless you've been practicing some team drifting and want to get in on that mad action.

Stay Tuned...

I Forgot to Mention

Ultimate Tunes is also an authorised roadworthy inspection station for the ACT and not only do we modify tuff street cars and race prepare vehicles from the ground up, but we can actually service anything!

So if you have that RH9 GTR in the garage or Grandma's 1991 Green 626 manual, give us a call and we'll book you in for a service that will either help maintain the madness or improve the drive.

Cause here at Ultimates we serve the community, that service at us.

ULTIMATES RX-3 WAGON UPDATE

Yeah, so it didn't quite make it to JDM'FEST! Life in a workshop is a double edged sword you get to do what you love, but your cars and projects always get put aside for the greater good of the customers at the end of the day.

But it's okay, we have secured another RX-3 wagon to utilise it's fancy rear end and bits to make our one super scary and it might actually get traction. Once we have the "little red wagon that could" up and jiving, we will then turn our attention to the new "purple is a girls colour" wagon and transform it into a old school street cruiser with a dirty big carb and all.

I will put up more info on the purple wagon in a future post

Random Snap: Just Add Water

Another one of the great moments from last track day that turned into a skid pan day, was watching this White R33 GTR get all crossed up everywhere. It was not only entertaining for the guy and girls on the side line but the owner was big smiles even when i mentioned it to him at JDM'FEST.

Also just a reminder that our 3rd track day of the year is almost full up, so drop us a line to get in the Que for the 20th of October @ Wakefield Park! Where it should stay a little more dry this time.
