Some Pictures Of My Shop - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

TurboTagTeam · 04-21-2007, 01:17 AM

As some of you know, I've moved to Michigan to run a performance shop with my brother. Our shop is called ModifiedFX. Mostly we do import performance work. But it's really a variety of cars that come in. At the moment there is a 89 camaro with a blown 327 in it that runs high 10's on my lift. Parked under that is another 4th gen supra. It's kinda weird.

I do all the fab/Engineering work and handle most of the large projects. Since it's been warming up, alot of the serious cars are starting to come out.

Here's some quick fliks from today. I didn't shoot any fliks of the fab room/ lift stall because it's really dirty right now.

BTW---Troll, This is not meant to be an advertisement in any way. The shop is located 1000miles away. I dont expect this to add any buisness. Just wanted to share some photo's.

garbage! haha jk..looks like a cool place to work mike. when did you put the wheels back on the M3

TurboTagTeam · 04-21-2007, 01:27 AM

Actually I did it this morning.

Blkmax · 04-21-2007, 01:30 AM

looks great, whos Z and Supra? are they customers or employees? and more importantly...where is the M5

whitezenki · 04-21-2007, 01:59 AM

Insert picture of S14 slowly becoming badass as hell, and this thread would be pretty sick!

nice shop, nice cars!

TurboTagTeam · 04-21-2007, 02:26 AM

Both the Z and Supra's are customer cars. My 240 is not picture worthy at the moment. I'm preping it for the roll cage and I'm about to pull the engine.

Josh is in France, and he took the key's to the M5 with him

Not that I would drive it anyway, the M5 scares me.

MPowerKai · 04-21-2007, 08:45 AM

New M5? How do you like it? I've been tinkering with the idea of picking up one of those things next year.

Hey Mike, just out of curiosity, do you actually have a degree in automotive engineering. I am currently going to school for Manufacturing Engineering and I want to open a customs shop sometime after college in the PA area.

I am just curious if school really helped you for what your doing now because I am almost done school and Im gettin nervous about what im gonna do

james_ls · 04-24-2007, 01:42 AM

That's awesome dude.

Hows everything doing out there?? Cars...people...etc??

I'm going through school for it. What I've learned so far has really helped out. Alot of physics come into play when creating custom turbo kits/manifolds and roll cages.

I'v been around the industry for most my life, I have a pretty good sence about what works and dosent work. But school had certainly helped out.

The scene is a lil differnt out here. There are ALOT of ricers. THere are some cars that I wont even park in the front of the shop. However, some of the fastest cars in the U.S. are out here. The winters here really suck, so people have plenty of time to build fast cars in the off season.
