COMPANY HISTORY

Many years prior to the launch of this business everything began with a highly modified AE86 Sprinter. At the time compatible upgrade parts were not readily available and usually made to a lower standard than what’s available today, as a result most parts were not purchased but rather custom made instead. Many photos of the custom work being undertaken on this project car were posted on some internet worklogs.

Despite being just a personal build other individuals began to notice and from this requests were made to be able to buy what they saw. Thus this slowly began the first of the parts being produced and offered for sale. As time progressed both the workshop equipment and resources available continued to expand. Initially parts were hand machined out of water cut profiles, it has now advanced to most of the parts being produced via CNC machining.

COMPANY PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS

The methods and quality may of disproportionately progressed since then but the original driving force has never changed. It started and still is all about the passion in using genuine innovation to produce parts with the best possible function while still being quite affordable. It’s common for a company to make their own version of a product offered elsewhere but it’s not our approach. The custom parts offered from us are either completely unique in the world or designed from the bottom up to be more functional than anything else out there. As for ethics we think it’s morally wrong for a company to just copy and then profit off the innovation of others. However due to us offering unique parts it has come with the downside that on multiple occasions it is our products that have been the ones being copied.

The policy of honest and in-depth information has also remained. There are extensive installation guides available where required, product pages have extensive descriptions and where relevant any reasonable downsides to they use / fitment are described. Customers should not have to ever discover any unpleasant surprises or have to modify their brand new parts to make them work! In a similar vain many businesses offer parts that are only for looks but not advertised as so, we refuse to do the same – if it doesn’t work you won’t see it for sale.
