New to the forums! [Massachusetts]
Hey guys,
Seamus here from Flatout Motorsports. I'd like to introduce myself and sort of break the ice. I've been working on cars since I was a kid. I'm a fan of all cars; imports mainly - and enjoy custom fabricating whatever I can come up with. I consider myself to be pretty good at tig welding and I'm a huge fan of forced induction and big power. Over the last few years I've also learned a lot about tuning and have really enjoyed that so far. Flatout Motorsports is a race/street/tuning shop located in Bellingham, MA. Basically what we do here is this: We build, store, maintain and transport race cars for arrive and drive clients, as well as maintain five Spec Miatas of our own for customers to rent for racing, track days, time trials etc. We perform just about any service that race/performance oriented street cars need, from ground up builds to suspension setup including full corner-balanced alignments. We also custom fabricate anything from seat rails to exhausts and turbo manifolds. In addition to that, we have a Dynapack chassis dynamometer and provide tuning services for naturally aspirated and force inducted two wheel drive cars. We joined FT86club because we've been interested in the FR-S and the BRZ since they were first released, and finally have some time to dive in to the culture and see what these impressive cars are really all about. Our plan is to spend some time getting to know the good people on here and learn all there is to know about these cars so that we can begin offering BRZ and FR-S specific parts and services. We'd also like to have a place to keep everyone updated on what we're up to in terms of our current projects and racing endeavors. Just for the record, this is not an advertisement; we don't want to break any rules! We are not currently producing anything in house for these cars for the time being, but we plan to reach that point some day. When we do we would love to become a vendor for FT86club. For now we just wanted to introduce ourselves and to let you guys know who we are and what we do as well as what our future plans are. We look forward to getting to know you guys and girls and if you're ever in the Central Massachusetts area, stop by and say hello! We love meeting people that share the same interests and passion for cars as us. Last edited by Flatout-Motorsports; 12-18-2013 at 12:28 PM. |
