The Fiesta is getting fitted with some premium sound options. First off is a stout Kenwood 2 channel amplifier to deliver the power.  Next a super slim, super powerful Kenwood Execelon 10-inch subwoofer that handles a whopping 1200 wattts of power with only a 4-inch mounting depth, to keep as much space free in the trunk as possible.  Monster Mobile Audio(check them out on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Monster-Mobile-Audio/354165238961?ref=ts is completing the custom fibrglass and carbon fiber enclosure.  When finished, this combo will provide enough bass to get any Fiesta going.

Today I finished up the cold air intake for the Fiesta.  It was pretty simple and we only had to go a short distance to put the filter into a fresh air stream.  The custom milled mass air flow adapter was a pain to make but it all turned out to look real good.

I also gathered some measurements for the wheels.  It looks like I might be able to fit a 10 inch wide wheel in there with a 2 inch widebody kit.  I would say that is plenty of meat to keep this light car on the road.

Yea, I like that song.

Batlground received its Ford Fiesta SEMA car yesterday and wasted no time ripping into it.  We are planning a widebody kit for the car, coilovers, big brakes, front racing seats in leather trim, a removable carbon fiber stereo box, cold air intake and exhaust system.  We measured everything today, ordered the stereo equipment, worked on the cold air intake, got the coilovers and brakes ordered, and arranged the leather upholstery to be installed onto the racing bucket seats.  Tomorrow is another day and we are trying to knock this thing out as quick as possible.

After years of procrastination and fear of the unknown Daniel Wilie is stepping outside of his comfort zone in order to expand Batlground Motorsports LLC.   Daniel Willie, owner, tuner, engine builder, fabricator, driver, etc, will fly out on August 27th and stay for 2 weeks for the purpose of bringing back container of the highest quality used JDM, thats Japanese Domestic Market for all you newbies, parts for resale purposes.  Daniel Willie will be accompanied by a consultant that has been in the importing business for a number of years.  More details on our partnership will be announced at a later date.  If you want any items please contact us with your requests and deposits.  Stay tuned for more updates and for blog posts while Daniel is in Japan.

We just finished up a 2 day long job on this beautiful 2003 wrx.  This car was purchased by its current owner 2 years ago and he decided it was time to start to modify it.  He came to us and we outfitted  the car with a full stage 2 package.  This included a full Invidia turbo back exhaust and a retune.  The car already had a Cobb short ram intake filter so the ecu mapping had to be modified to compensate for the change in the MAF sensor voltage.  After the tuning the car put down 219 all wheel horsepower and 225 foot pounds of torque.  This was pretty impressive due to the fact that the heat index put the ambient air temperature at 105 degrees Farenheight the day we tuned it.  The customer also wanted the car to have a more aggressive look to match his body kit.  We opted to install a set of Racecomp coilovers, 5 Zigen wheels, and BFG tires.  He wanted to occasionally take this car to the track so the coilovers were a great choice for him.

This customer brought in a MKIV Toyota Supra exhaust to install on his SC300.   The customer intends on putting a full single turbo kit on the car and since his old exhaust was rusting and falling off the car he opted to upgrade it now.  The exhaust required a little bit of modification to work on his car but it was well worth it.  He also wanted us to make him a 3 inch midpipe with a 3 inch high flow catalytic converter so that he would be ready for the added exhaust volume that a turbo will produce and be able to pass emmissions.
