In the automotive world there are few badges as iconic as the galloping pony found on the grille of a Ford Mustang. Good thing the team at Tunehouse are well versed in old school, carburettor technology and love working on classic cars.
We’ve been doing a fair bit of R&D in the turbo diesel area lately. When done properly, modern turbo diesel engines can pick up quite a lot of power and torque with a custom tune.
It doesn’t get much more British than Aston Martin, it is after all James Bond’s car of choice in most of his on-screen adventures. This one gets the full Tunehouse treatment.
In its standard form the 370Z is already a potent beast so it takes an experienced tuner to extract that extra power and enhance its overall performance. Luckily, at Tunehouse we have just such a tuner. Jim is the go-to man for all high-tech performance tuning and a nationally renowned authority in Nissan and in particular the Z series.
With a well-prepared three-car team we anticipated great things as we entered this year’s Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge.
With 750hp on tap and a fully worked RB26DETT 2.6 litre engine, this is one very serious R32. And it needs to be, after all it will be competing against Australia’s best Open Class time attack teams at this year’s World Time Attack Challenge!
With the suspension, brakes, exhaust, forced induction and tune ticked there was only one thing left to do and that is to see who all these modifications perform under duress of some heavy duty driving around a race track.
We see many late, high tech cars at Tunehouse but every now and then we get to work on some great classics. Like this 1960 Ford Falcon XK Deluxe for example.
It took very little inspiration to get Tunehouse Team boss to confirm the order and get a delivery date out of Toyota for the THR 86 – Tunehouse’s new project car. What you see here is the latest additional to the Tunehouse stable and if Jim’s daily driven 800HP HSV R8 is anything to go by the 147KW and nimble character of the 86 / BRZ platform is about to get a rude awakening!
The Subaru BRZ or ‘Toyota FT86’ as the platform is also know is reaching almost cult following – Developing a massive fan base in a very short amount of time.
Originally intended as a fast street car, this STI hatch has undergone somewhat of a makeover since coming through the doors.
1 minute, 35.87 seconds – that’s how long it takes for this R32 GTR to lap Sydney’s Eastern Creek Raceway. Can Jim waive his magic over the Motec M800 and find something more? We’re counting on it!
Tunehouse’s Jim Ghelis is one of the very few left in Australia who is an expert with and not at all afraid of carburettors, so it’s no wonder the owner of this immaculate Pontiac Parisienne entrusted him with his pride and joy.
Anyone with a Focus RS can benefit from the Tunehouse experience in tuning on my car – one happy RS Focus owner reveals all.
Subarus weren’t all created equal this particular one, being a GC8 2 Door MY99, was already a little special.
We seem to be developing a bit of a reputation here at Tunehouse. A reputation for building and tuning some very fast track Subarus!
Another very special car to come through the Tunehouse doors is this LS7-powered Z06 Corvette. The stance of these cars is simply awe-inspiring.
One of the nicest looking coupes available today? We think it should certainly be in the running! This ‘mostly Carbon fibre’ Aston Martin DBS is a regular at Tunehouse where only the ‘Tunehouse Difference’ is enough for this festideous client!
