Custom Machined Parts

Post by maddmic »

I'm not sure where to place this post. I used to be a part of gp-owners.com when I owned my Grand Prix. On their site it seemed like people were always looking for custom machined parts for their vehicles. I'm just wondering if there is a demand here as well. The reason I ask is because I have a contact who can do custom parts depending on the number ordered, size, etc. If this is the wrong place to put this post, I'm sorry in advance.

Just wondering if there's anybody looking for any custom machined parts. My contact is family and as Christmas is nearing, I will be seeing him shortly.

Looks like we're more a bolt-on crowd, maddmic! (although there are a couple of custom turbos in the ranks, and I had to get a fair bit of lathe work done for my wheel adaptors and floating center caps.)Good to see another "mad" in the forum.

if you're looking for cams keep an eye on the celica boards I'm gonna try to make sure the info gets copied here as well. a company named TPR shoudl have dynos of the first protoype cams that are going to be sold next week. also a company called forcedfed is going to try and have a prototype dyno out around the same time. they'v'e kinda got a little race goin to see who'll come out first and with the most hp. my car is one of the test cars so I'll have the info right away
