Neal did an awesome job of installing the Tein coilovers and the EDFC controller! He tucked the rear unit in the foam trunk inserts really nicely so that they are hidden from view. I was grateful he was able to fit the car in before a last minute trip to SoCal meant I wouldn't have time to do the install myself.

Glad you are happy with the setup Chris! The car felt great on those new Flex A's

Lest you think he only does work on FRS/BRZs...(I had him put a Velox rear diffuser my RS1 FRS as well)

Allow me to present my R8 receiving a Larini Club Sport exhaust

Just finished the biggest/busiest month to date at The Racers Line! Thank you everyone for the support and continued referrals. My customers are nothing short of amazing!

I didn't take pictures of half the cars that have been in this past month, but I went through my phone and found as many as I could.

Finished up Tim's TRD after the throwout bearing explosion. I installed @VeloxEric 's new billet clutch fork in this car as well. I have since installed another, and ordered 2 more for incoming jobs. These things are fantastic, and I will be strongly recommending these forks with every clutch install. Massively reduced chatter from stiffer pressure plates, and more precise engagement from the added stiffness. It is well worth the extra money for piece of mind and an extremely high quality part.









Almost every Saturday this month looked like this!



The owner of this BMW races in Europe and North America at a professional level. He chose to bring his daily to The Racers Line for the proper care while he was off traveling and racing. Fresh new turbos, and a new Spec clutch and Lightweight flywheel.



As also mentioned above from the happy customer, Mark's R8 getting a Larini Clubsport Exhaust system. Mark is also part of the 86 family and has a badass supercharged TRD RS1.0



OG TRL customer Shaun getting some RSR Black-i Coilovers!







Nick's APR splitter was making TOO much downforce. Some Quiklatch mini's secured the bumper and fixed the dreaded bumper sag.





TRL Team driver Adam, needed an oil cooler upgrade! After testing, we are happy to report oil temps are WAY down!





Jeff, also facing oil temp issues, upgraded to the same 25 Row series 9 oil cooler, along with some custom stainless braided oil lines, and upgraded locking -10an fittings.









James brought in his S2k for a convertible top removal and a bolt in roll cage! Next is his WRX for some fun shifting modifications.









Jeremy decided to grab some larger wheels/tires for his car, so a suspension upgrade was needed for clearance. ST coilovers installed, and a nice new stance for his car.





Then I decided to be fast on track for once and snagged a 2nd place SpeedSF challenge spot, and a 3rd place 86 Cup Mod class result! The secret(80's music blasting while you are driving)

Thats all for now!

Now you need to let me know when you are doing that Harrop install so I can "set up a meeting with my client"

Car drives like a baws after new clutch and axles. Gracias sir!

Just got back from The Racer's Line! Got a new Carbon Fiber Spoiler installed. Neal also helped me get the right set of Enkei Raijin Wheels. I'm soooo happy with them!

Crazy oil temps are now under control on my Vortech V2 86. We had easy access to a used Blitz Oil Cooler and gave it a try but it wasn't able to properly cool my oil on track days over 100* plus... peaking at a frightening 254* at Buttonwillow.

We next installed some Trackspec hood louvres and did some testing at Thunderhill West. The trackspec louvres brought intake temps down along with an 8-10* drop in oil temps from what I observed at Buttonwillow. It was also over 100* that day.

Finally, Neal swapped my blitz core for a setrab 25 row series 7 and oil temps peaked in the mid to high 230s during my sessions on a subsequent Thunderhill West track event. Temp was like 106* outside that day. I was quite pleased with that outcome considering how miserable hot it was that day. On a more reasonable day temps would likely be even lower.

New PB (personal best) times each of my last 2 track days at Thunderhill West and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with much of the credit going to The Racers Line. Can't wait to see the PBs when we further optimize the suspension setup.

Was back at The Racer's Line one last time for a front lip and a new WORKS AB exhaust. Love the work Neal does. Pics when i get my car back from the shop

Been a while since I posted some work progress! The shop has never been busier, which is amazing, but also means I’m not on the computer as much! I have to admit that my email response time has been lacking, but I am doing my best!

I’ve got a group buy that will be announced in my other thread, so check it out!

Now my favorite thing to do, photo bump of all my customers badass cars! I have actually neglected the photo taking, but here is what I could drum up off of my phone. If you have your own, feel free to post them up as well.

Sweet new carbon wing for @Xxyion



And a new APR splitter for Kevin, the biggest Deadpool Fan!



Gonna go out on a limb and say I’ve installed more of these Velox clutch forks then anyone at this point, and they are awesome! This went into Tylers SBD turbo, all the way down from Reno.





Got a sweet TV mounted in the shop now! Races while I work, and a screensaver that showcases all of your guys cars!



Got this sweet little classic Datsun in. Car is off getting a new cage so the new owner can do some vintage NASA racing.





Started getting more BMW’s in here. This clean 335i M-Sport needed MOAR LOW



Ethan came by for a special late-night clutch job. In the area from Chico, and didn’t want to make him come all the way back!



He needed the clutch for all the power!



A nice big car transformation! Raman came all the way from Las Vegas for a JRSC, Delicious tune and flex fuel, ACT clutch, RCE coilovers, Stoptech brakes, Enkei wheels and more!









Then the shop started filling up, and hasn’t really emptied out much since!



Ryan’s car getting an SBD Turbo kit w/ Delicious Tuning!





Brandon getting some cooling mods! Velox Hood Vents







Special stickers from Zach at Delicious Tuning





Kamal’s Dinan M4 needed a carbon front wing to finish off his carbon lip kit




@undefindedt got some new wheels and tires and some D2 coilovers installed



Another busy saturday!



New cooling mods for Adam’s TRL team car!





Brian’s hyperblue brz got a rocket bunny front bumper, velox diffuser (custom fit), some lower control and toes arms, and a kartboy short shifter

Keep the pics coming Neal...great for upgrade ideas. Hoping I might be able to get to your shop early next year for some cooling mods and a d-box. Cheers! Thanks for all you do for the 86 community.
