18 Projects

A selection of the custom fabrication work we've done — scanned, designed, and built to fit.

Double-Wishbone Front Suspension Conversion — BMW E36

Suspension & Chassis

Double-Wishbone Front Suspension Conversion

A ground-up double-wishbone front conversion built to run 300mm-wide slicks, engineered through full kinematic and tire-model simulation rather than trial and error.

Rear Pushrod Damper Conversion — BMW E36

Suspension & Chassis

Rear Pushrod Damper Conversion

A rear pushrod damper installation giving 150mm of wheel travel, so the suspension can absorb real-world bumps while still handling heavy downforce without bottoming out.

Adjustable Rear Coilover Top Mount — BMW E36

Suspension & Chassis

Adjustable Rear Coilover Top Mount

A rear top mount engineered to accept adjustable coilover dampers like HSD, built around a Motorsport Grande uniball in a machined aluminum housing.

Adjustable Lower Radius Arm — BMW E39

Suspension & Chassis

Adjustable Lower Radius Arm

A length-adjustable lower radius arm for the E39, reverse-engineered from a 3D scan and built from repurposed OEM parts for real camber and caster correction with factory-level durability.

Adjustable Lower Radius Arm — BMW E82 / E90

Suspension & Chassis

Adjustable Lower Radius Arm

The same scan-and-rebuild approach as the E39 arm, re-engineered for the shared E82/E90 front end using a Tesla tie-rod end in place of the Land Rover unit.

Uniball Front Arm Conversion — BMW E82 / E90

Suspension & Chassis

Uniball Front Arm Conversion

A uniball conversion for the E82/E90 front arm, replacing the factory rubber bushing with a sealed spherical-bearing insert for a dramatically more direct steering feel.

Brake Cooling Duct — BMW E82 / E90

Brakes & Wheels

Brake Cooling Duct

A 3D-printed brake duct inspired by the Porsche GT3's design, feeding cold high-pressure air from under the car straight to the disc through the OEM brake shield.

Big Brake Kit with Alfa Romeo Giulia Caliper — BMW E36

Brakes & Wheels

Big Brake Kit with Alfa Romeo Giulia Caliper

A big brake kit built around a 340mm disc and an Alfa Romeo Giulia caliper, with a CNC-machined steel bracket engineered for durability rather than a cast aluminum adapter.

Centerlock Wheel Conversion — BMW E36

Brakes & Wheels

Centerlock Wheel Conversion

A centerlock hub adapter letting the E36 run 18-inch 13J Nissan GT3 Nismo wheels, with a wheel nut based on the Porsche 917 BBS design.

Custom Wheel Spacers — Multi-platform

Brakes & Wheels

Custom Wheel Spacers

Precision wheel spacers built in whichever style actually suits the hub — pressed-in studs, pressed-in steel inserts, or simple through-bolt — rather than one generic design forced onto every car.

Brake Booster Delete with Bias Adjustment — BMW E36

Brakes & Wheels

Brake Booster Delete with Bias Adjustment

A brake booster delete built around dual Girling-style master cylinders, with a remote lever for on-the-fly brake bias adjustment and a pedal ratio tuned for street-car pedal effort.

Single-Turbo Manifold Design — BMW E36 (M50)

Exhaust & Cooling

Single-Turbo Manifold Design

A tubular single-turbo exhaust manifold for the M50 six-cylinder, engineered with equal runner length and diameter and an optimized wastegate position to control boost past 720hp on a T4-sized turbo.

LS3 Equal-Volume Long-Tube Header — GM LS3 (BMW E36 swap)

Exhaust & Cooling

LS3 Equal-Volume Long-Tube Header

A NASCAR-style side-exit LS3 header, volume-balanced for a 5,300rpm powerband and sized with headroom for a future 235°-duration cam upgrade.

Exhaust Flange Design System — BMW M50 / M42 · Mercedes M112 / M113 · GM LS3 · Opel C20 · Holset HX35 · IHI TD04 · Garrett MGT2256 · BorgWarner K03

Exhaust & Cooling

Exhaust Flange Design System

A cross-platform library of intake and exhaust flanges, each engineered to the specific port geometry and stud pattern of its engine or turbo rather than one-off per job.

LS3-to-BMW Gearbox Adapter — GM LS3 / BMW M57N

Drivetrain & Powertrain

LS3-to-BMW Gearbox Adapter

A laser-cut steel bellhousing adapter mating an LS3 V8 to a BMW gearbox, paired with a hybrid steel-aluminum flywheel that runs the stock BMW clutch against an LS3 flexplate.

M50 Lower Block Girdle — BMW M50

Drivetrain & Powertrain

M50 Lower Block Girdle

A laser-cut steel girdle joining the sides of the M50 block to the main bearing area, strengthening the bottom end for reliably exceeding 800Nm.

Hidden Rod-Actuated Handbrake — BMW E82

Drivetrain & Powertrain

Hidden Rod-Actuated Handbrake

A remote, rod-activated handbrake system that keeps the cockpit looking stock while retaining the factory dual-circuit ABS setup, with its mounting bracket hidden under a 3D-printed cover.

Dual Shear Selector Rod — BMW E82

Drivetrain & Powertrain

Dual Shear Selector Rod

A CNC-billet dual shear selector rod for the E82 gear linkage, fixing a factory design known for shearing under hard use and sharpening shift feel in the process.
