We specialize in precision one off parts and solutions, though this more than trickles down to the rest of what we do! We are entering our 4th year as a proud sponsor the Carnegie Mellon Formula SAE Racing program!

some of the composite parts are the carbon fiber body, intake manifold with integrated restrictor and removable carbon fiber barrel throttle body, carbon fiber seat, radiator shroud, carbon fiber floorboards and various closeouts and small parts.

a few of the solutions we offer are:

Lightweight battery solution :
1.2oz aluminum milled battery hold-downs for Braille and Deka ETX-14 batteries. Includes stainless steel studs and stainless nylock nuts and washers. universal kit may require drilling.
$75 each
$150 w/ deka ETX14 battery

Completely custom Carbon plumbing:
Carbon pipes, currently race tested to 26psi. Unlimited design flexibility.

That means:
smooth tapering over the length of the pipe
largest and multiple radius bends packaging allows.
not limited to standard inch sizing
non-round sections are possible
unconventional placement of fittings, sensors and bracketry possible

Available with CAD design and flow testing, CNC machined sacrificial bucks and bonded in flanges for blow off valves, vacuum fittings, integrated pressure and temp sensors, mounts, extra injector bungs or anything else you can think of. As standard, the ends have custom sized beaded steel anti-crush sleeves bonded on.

Clearance, sensors and bracketry can be designed into the plumbing. Basically anything you can think of or inspire us to think of. High temp epoxy(300F deformation) construction. We can even help you match your entire setup to your goals.
$200 / foot + options
design, packaging and prototyping included. Sponsorship pricing Available.

Custom Intake manifolds:
For maximum response and power! Get crazy flow without compromising your power brakes and engine management flexibility! Tapered runners with velocity stacks, boost capable, space optimized plenums and completely custom design.

Available with CNCd and bonded in flanges for throttle bodies, blow off valves, bypass valves, vacuum fittings, integrated vacuum and temp sensors, fuel rails, mounts, injector bungs or anything else you can think of. Clearance and bracketry can be molded and bonded into the plenum. Basically anything you can think of, or inspire us to think of. Standard high temp epoxies(300F deformation) and TIG welded, CNC cut billet aluminum and steel construction. We can make progressive cable linkages, custom fuel rails and bonded in mounts, various sensors, we can even help you match your entire setup to your goals.
$500 / cylinder + options
design, packaging and prototyping included. Sponsorship pricing Available.

Subaru turbo airbox:
Fits GD WRX/STi. seals to the hood with an open top on production model. Very low restriction and larger front and full fender pickups actually reduce the pressure ratio across the compressor wheel, giving your turbo a little more breathing room. On our 2004 STi it regularly adds 3-4psi of boost in the manifold above 4000rpm and above~100mph, that the turbo cannot push at lower speeds. Fits with all turbo inlet tubes. Tested with stock turbo inlet hose. MAF housing is available in either stock or large diameter with a CNCd aluminum MAF flange and steel anti-crush sleeve bonded on in all models. Also replaces the passenger side radiator hold-down and acts as a partial radiator block off plate.

Also a great place to set your tools and nuts/bolts when working!

includes all hardware, seals, filter, new MAF tube and silicone coupler and clamps.

$300 fiberglass
$600 carbon
$Large MAF housing add 50$
still testing on more modified cars, available in april!

Single DIN 3 gauge pods:
sorting out that hole left in your dash when you get serious and ditch your stereo. can be used with a stereo in a double din dash(dash may require modification). holds three gauges angled 20 degrees(at either the driver or passenger).comes untrimmed so you can mount up to 52mm round gauges, shift or warning lights, switches or nothing at all. available in a low cost fiberglass ready for priming and painting, or a standard choice of materials(carbon, carbon/kevlar, texallium, "white carbon", glass) also installs over most center vents.

Replacement fender extensions for Chargers:
reproductions that are stronger, lighter and more durable than the originals. also easier to find! for single headlight Shelby Charger front ends. fiberglass with bonded in stainless steel studs and included nylon washers and stainless locknuts. ready for priming and painting (more info)
$40 each
available

6lb subwoofer box:
you can have bass and not pour on the weight
Replaces your spare tire.

Twin lightweight, long throw 8" neodymium motor subs in a vented alignment with output to equal any decent 12" sub. overall weight with subwoofers is 15.5 lbs!
enclosure is ~38l which is ~1.3 cubic feet. the 25x3.4" port is 3oz. uses a Neutrik speakon connector for ease of removal if you really want to go for minimum mass at the track. weight for our entire test sub system is 18 lbs including amp and included stainless hardware. 2.7ohms nominal, 250W rms, 500W peak.

Composite undercar diffuser:
composite undercar diffuser. 3 gorgeous pieces bonded together to make one very strong, functional, lightweight and great looking piece. 2' wide, 3.5' overall length (first 16" flat) throat expanding to 3' wide x 8" tall. we are not yet done testing aerodynamic forces and engineering required mountings on test vehicles. flat underbody paneling highly recommended!
$400 fiberglass
$850 carbon
design and prototyping available fall 2009

LED retrofit dash lighting :
complete solution for retrofitting or augmenting dimmable LED lighting to your gauge cluster and/or dash lighting. Interfaces with your factory dimmer with only 2 wires. compatible with nearly all factory dimmers. 9 LEDs on a 3' pre-wired string and small 0.25"x1"x2" control unit. Dimming limits both hi and low are fully adjustable on the control unit.

only 2 wires to hook up. soldering/crimping and drilling and/or epoxy necessary. epoxy and instructions included.
Not just for gauge clusters, anything with 12v! use on your computer, boat, or even as under-counter lighting with a 12v supply.
$60 red / green / amber
$90 white / blue
$140 user selectable color

automatic sequential shifter:
designed to get maximum torque at the drive wheel(s) on sequential drives at all times. not for the timid! specifically designed for bike powered cars in racing situations. has launch control and traction control abilities as well requires wheel speed sensors (not included).

concentrate on driving, not shifting! completely automatic down and upshifting. includes manual push button/paddle shifting override, digital gear indicator, USB interface for programming, bracketry, wiring and actuators etc included. requires some fabrication and setup.
available to the public after the May 2009 Formula SAE competition.

Datalogging traction control:
Track mapping, fast analog datalogging, set the maximum slip angle you want in degrees OR the % of wheel speed differential right on the unit. You may also interface via USB and set up speed/gear dependent slip angle profiles. has a soft 8 output ignition/fuel cut to control torque, 8 analog 0-5v inputs, 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs. Logs to removable flash memory.

Uses a 3 axis gyro, 3 axis accelerometer, wheel speed sensors and RPM to log track data such as positioning, speed, attitude, slip angle, slip %, G forces actual and corrected for attitude.
