Jono = Performance Metalcraft...

I would suggest these guys over ANYONE else.
I'm all for tapping it and gapping it... but how fast does her father run?

i would also suggest Jono at performance metalworks - if you dont mind being bent over your own car to pay the bill.

But seriously, Choke on the Smoke - nuff said:

Geoff Taylor has done more 1uz conversions that you can shake a stick at, knows all the tricks when it comes to those engines, has an awesome set of link maps for them, and his fabrication work is definitely as classy as Performance Metalworks (I have seen both). It will be more than worth 2 trips to Rotorua (drop off and pick up). Plus, you'll be able to afford it.

He's currently doing 11.0's on his STOCK 1uz (blue SR Coupe), after the current diff and trans work, the same car will be doing mid 10's easy in the next few months - not bad for an engine that hasnt been touched internally, has nitrous of course.
