In With The New











With all the race car projects on the go, one build that has sliped under the radar is the work truck that is currently in the build. So to make way for this the Trusty BT50 has to move to a new home. With just over 30,000km on the clock, in the year we have owned it, it has been faultless. With the full service history, and lots of extras including a DP chip to boost performance, This truck is a great for someone after a reliable and comfortable work ute.

Team Effort


It was a huge effort to get to World Time Attack this year, & for a while it looked like we would not make it.
Everyone one pulled together and got the job done, and not one car was left behind.
Ultimate Tunes would like to take this oportunity to thank everyone involved, for the help they gave, and the luaghs they shared throught the weeks that led to the event.
So thanks to Conor, Jason, & Paul, for the opportunity you all gave us to build your cars, & for the effort you all put in, as they had quite a few late nights aswell.
Thanks to Martin, for peddling our car to a respectable 1:42 around the Creek.
Thanks to the Girls, flying down from North QLD to give us a hand, and getting there hands dirty. Nessa, Gabby, & Annaliese.
Finaly, thanks to all the others that helped, Mario, Shaun, Dave, Chris, & Ariel.

We greatly appreciate, your efforts, and we are looking forward to next year.

Badass Bugeye @ Superlap




In the weeks leading upto Superlap we worked around the clock putting together Connors 2001 WRX,


It received a full rebuild, inc a fresh 2.5L race engine, with a Garret GT30/40 Hybrid Turbo,


Haltech PS1000, and Racepak Dash.


The car only just made it to Superlap in time for some practise on thursday.


We worked all night, running the car in, and completing final touches.


At 9:00am on Thursday morning we rolled it off the dyno and straight onto the car trailer.


pushing 315kw at the wheels and 580nm of torque on a mild tune.


Connor managed 1:47, which we were quite happy with, as the car had never been tested. The car still has some teething issues which we are working on so we can be back out on the track in the next few weeks for our tackday.

Daily Driven 7 Takes On Superlap


The Ultimate Tunes Evo 7 proved to be one very quick street car at Superlap, setting a time of 1:42.7800.

We ran the Evo 7 in open class, against some very feirce competition, and we found ourselves very happy with the result.

Helping get the car to this time, was a freshened up 2.3L engine, sporting a GT30/76R turbo. In the suspension department, things were improved with a set of Cusco Zero 3X coilovers.


Plaining has began to be faster for next years Superlap, with a 39 the target for this daily driven Evo.
