eShift Performance shop visit

 

Whilst we were chillin in Sopranos-ville, NJ, for the FD event in June, Karl and I had to make what we thought was going to be a mundane, boring, and frankly annoying trip to a random workshop for Eddie.

How wrong we were. This shop was anything but boring or mundane. This was eShift performance, and while many people from the east coast tuner car scene know exactly what that means, we had two ideas........none, and fu*k all.

This is one bad ass shop, and they had some serious machines there. I luckily had my camera in the car, and asked the lads if they minded if I grabbed a few happy snaps of what they were working on.

Nice looking E36 four door.....pretty standard for what we see in Ireland really. Probably actually a little boring in the styling department really.

Until you look in the engine bay and see the fully built 2JZ monster they have stuffed into it! Cross Breed is the label they stick on these Frankensteins, and with over 600whp, I can only imagine it snarls and bites like a Pit Bull crossed with a Rottweiler on heat!

Another project they had running in the shop whilst we were there (my favourite), was this E30, with what looks like a full M-Tech kit (im a bit of a bmw noob, so correct me if im wrong), and big dished Work Work Meister S1's. The craftmanship of their fabricators is immaculate, as you can surely see in the custom externally gated manifold it is running.

They also have an interior fabricator, that was working on the interior of an awesome Bentley. The workmanship is better than I have ever seen before. It all looks completely stock!
