Not your average Adelaide workshop.

The person behind the builds

Run by Nick Taddeo, with 15+ years in the industry and a background in the V8 Supercar series.

Nick's focus is performance engine development, gearboxes, diffs and complete vehicle combinations dialled in from front to rear. When the people building your engine race their own, the detail shows up in the result.
