Ongoing Projects

Looking in the R&D section today there are quite a few cars.

TEIN Mustang – sitting up on the lift awaiting repairs to the motor. I guess making nearly 500WHP took its toll on the motor.

0-60 magazine Rally Scion xD – down below awaiting completion of repairs after Rally Maine. The huge rocks caused a lot of damage on the underside of the car including a dented oil pan, heavily damaged belly pans and damaged one rear shock.

EVO 9 – finishing up installation of new DEFI gauges and Devil’s Own Alcohol Injection system.

WrapTivo/ Import Tuner magazine Honda CR-Z – arrived this morning. RJ De Vera’s latest project vehicle for SEMA. We will be test fitting lowering springs and Super Street coilovers. Look for a future post with more information.

TEIN/ Import Tuner magazine Lexus ISF – sitting outside awaiting pickup. Finished giving the car an inspection before Import Tuner chief editor, Carter Jung, takes it up to Nor Cal for Targa Trophy. Should be fun with over 500WHP when on the bottle.

TEIN Japan testing Honda CR-Z

The new Honda CR-Z has been immensely popular in Japan with tuners and consumers alike (there are even rumors about a CR-Z one make race series). All of the big manufacturers have at least one as a demo car including TEIN Japan.

TEIN was one of the first companies to release a coilover for this car and you might think we would release a BASIC or Super Street damper but Japanese consumers wanted Mono FLEX coilovers. So that is what we produced.

Here is a video of TEIN Japan R&D department testing the TEIN CR-Z at Sodegaura Raceway in Japan.
