24.01.2022 Once again we are looking for motivated staff. If this is you or someone you know please apply.

23.01.2022 This is one of our 2500hp Powerglides. ATI case, Torque Power bellhousing and filled with every top shelf part you can get for a powerglide. Ready to party in Ryan Cannavans absolutely beautiful falcon.

21.01.2022 This is why I dont bother with billet input shaft upgrades in ZF6HP26 transmissions. To do a 6R80 conversion costs the same amount and weve never had a single input failure. In the new year we will be doing some testing of our transbrake standalone modules for the 6HP26. These modules require no run-in period either. So its wire up and straight to the track.

20.01.2022 Cranky is back ready to smash some goals. Dylan and the guys at Forced Performance have done an awesome job getting all this done. Its great to be a part of such an awesome car and crew.

20.01.2022 Goleby out there testing one of our A340 transmissions and one of our custom converters.

20.01.2022 Remove and refit transmissions. Servicing of automatic transmissions. Learn to rebuild and upgrade transmissions.

19.01.2022 Update: Since my operation I have been trying to my best to not come back to work too soon. As far as all the messages that I haven’t replied to I will get back to you over the next week or so. I’m still a few weeks off before I will be back into the swing of things. If you can just bare with me and I will endeavour to get back to you with quotes and info. Cheers guy’s

17.01.2022 Its been a while since I posted. So heres a powerglide for an RB. We used a JW transmission case and modified an adaptor to fit a 4n71b bellhousing. We did this so that tailshaft lengths and crossmembers could be retained when upgrading to an aftermarket case. This transmission had been built previously but certainly wasnt up to the task of reeling off 7 second passs. A few fixes and some upgrades and itll be sweet now. Along with a Hughes Performance 2 stage converter dump to make getting it up on the converter easier.

16.01.2022 Pretty much sums this year up perfectly

15.01.2022 Must be powerglide week. One Barra one RB26 and one turbo LS all by Wednesday. All transbraked NASA shafts and billet drums. Now to start on some TH400s that are waiting patiently to be modified. #aussiebuilt

13.01.2022 Here’s a bit of a tech tip. Never use a lose 3 piece bearing in any transmissions. When the drum spins it turns the top into a little buzz saw that cuts a nice neat groove in the back of the pump. Note the bearings we use can’t do it.

13.01.2022 Hi everyone, if you are trying to get a hold of me please call 0746391264. I no longer have the same mobile number because I need a life after hours as well. Thanks again everyone.

10.01.2022 Another 2500hp Barra Powerglide underway for a shop up in Makay. We build these with all Aussie and USA parts. We are sick of seeing Chinese made shit getting fitted to a lot of big dollar transmissions, if you want something that will last call me and I can steer you in the right direction whether its a full build or I can recommend the parts that you need and I can also supply the parts if need be. #saynotochina #aussiebuilt #trueblue #stuffchina

09.01.2022 Just goes to show what a humble old A340 with a few of our bits and pieces can do.

09.01.2022 Today is my last day for a few weeks. I go for back surgery on Monday. We are still operating I just won’t be there till I’m ready to go again. So if you are chasing quotes or any work or parts enquires call 0746391264. I look forward to coming back better than ever and I will let everyone know when I’m back in action.

07.01.2022 Hi everyone, as some of you may know I have broken my back so theres been a bit of trouble getting back to everyone. Im waiting on surgery at the moment and dont have any idea on when that will be. I am still finishing jobs I have in at the moment but its just taking time. I will no longer be offering torque converter repairs or builds for most jobs just because I physically cannot work on the lathe for that long. If anyone needs to get hold of me please call 0746391264 and leave a detailed message with the girls in the office. Sorry for any inconvenience and Im hoping to be back in action properly soon. Cheers, Andrew.

07.01.2022 Hi everyone I am going to be closed until the 7th of January. I wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. Thanks to you all for your support and I look forward to a great new year.

07.01.2022 Edit: SOLD. We have an 850whp th400 full conversion for an FG Barra that will be for sale. Everything from converter bolts to tailshaft. We will be making it available as of Monday. So if anyone is interested please let us know. This whole setup will be $12,300. That’s everything you need to convert your FG. B&M shifter the lot. We are taking a loss at this and just want to recoup what is owed.

07.01.2022 They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary then, nor the years condem. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning We Will Remember Them.... Lest we forget

06.01.2022 Really liking the new Hughes Performance converter dumps. This one is for a very serious GTR that is currently getting some upgrades. Will be great to see how the Emtron can control it. #emtron #gtr #efi

06.01.2022 Thought it was time to get something happening on the racecar. So we entrusted CRG Turbo Manifolds with the job of making a very large turbo fit in an engine bay that really shouldnt have one in it. If anyone wants top notch work, make sure you talk to the guys at CRG their work is a thing of beauty.

04.01.2022 First few weeks back at it have been very busy. I am still working from the old shop at 76 Mort street for the moment. Thanks for everyones ongoing support. Look forward to big things coming this year.

03.01.2022 The guys at Auspeed Dyno Tuning in Mackay fitting one of our 2500hp powerglide Barra transmissions. Topped off with the best in the business SDE torque converter.

03.01.2022 Wanted: Full time mechanic for immediate start. Above award wages. Will take 3rd or 4th year apprentice. Must have a license. Must be reliable. Email resumes to [email protected] or call 0746391264. Or stop in at 76 Mort st Toowoomba.

03.01.2022 Just a quick message about this virus. We are still operating as normal. However we no longer offer a waiting room. Please make sure if you are sick whether its the common cold or anything at all please stay at home. We will be working until we are forced to stay home. So if you have a booking it is still going to get done. Thanks everyone stay safe.
