David@SPE

Hey folks, As some may know, our website has been down for a very, very long time. But let's not get into that debacle. With our blog being tied into the website and the website being pretty much nonexistent, we've decided to post some blog posts on here to share with you guys and to keep you guys in the loop of what we've been up to. Sometime last year, we were approached by a gentleman by the name of David Haagsma. David is a 23 yr old professional ATV champion with a mindset not only to have fun, but to have fun winning. Last September, David chose our SPE800R package. The SPE800R package is a revolution of our SPE750 package which became extremely popular after our appearance on Jay Leno's Garage in 2012. Boy, how time flies. Anyway, the SPE800R package features an SPE Spec custom 3.8L long block mated with our fully machined IHI billet turbos. More details on the package will be available to the public once our site is up and running. Let us begin when David dropped his GT-R off for the SPE800R build. Our techs immediately began tearing everything down. Our engine builder works so fast that we missed the engine assembly! Sucks for the viewers, but great for us! Haha. Motor back in! Due to our upgraded race intercooler being much larger than stock, modifications had to be done to the Phoenix Power bumper. Fancy JRZ's and Phase2 arms were installed during the time the engine was being assembled. The ugly and uncomfortable CBA seats were replaced with a pair of Sparco seats with help from Sabelt harness' to keep David sturdy and safe while out on the track. It was September 18th, 2015 when we stayed at the shop until 10pm-ish to deliver David's GT-R for him to attend RD4 of GTA (Global Time Attack) at Willow Springs the following Sunday. On the Monday after, David greeted us with great news, taking 1st place in the Limited AWD class. We then knew he was hooked and wanted to continue competing in the GTA series. David brought his GT-R back to us to have a few carbon goodies installed in time for GTA Super Lap Battle. At Super Lap Battle 2015, David set a base PB of 1:52.274. During SLB, David experienced a lot of understeer. To reduce this, he purchased a pair of PasswordJDM wide front fenders to run a square setup. 20x12 +20 and 315/30/20 in front looks gnarly! But hey! It doesn't stop there. Shortly after completing the fender install, David came back for more! For serious stopping power, David went with the RPS carbon-carbon brake rotor and pad setup. Just look at them! With the existing Phoenix Power front splitter bolted directly to the front bumper, it was not capable of high speeds on the track. The downforce of the splitter kept pulling/warping the front bumper down which resulted in the center duct to rip off completely. Because of this, a custom APR Performance carbon honeycomb splitter was made and our techs blueprinted a bracket system for it. While walking around the car, I noticed a small detail which I extremely enjoyed. David had a bodyshop mold the PasswordJDM bumper cap to the Phoenix Power bumper. With this current setup, David recently attended RD1 of GTA at Buttonwillow in March and took home first (Limited AWD Class), besting his time with a 1:49.415! Congrats again, David!

Having 3 track days on the SPE800R package, we are very confident that this package is the best all around track package for those of you wanting to bump up your power with a built block at an affordable price. Thanks for looking!

And Victoria Peak.

Check out all the street food!

I'm unsure how recent this is, but you can now install Kodi onto your FireStick without a PC. Just need to make sure you have wifi connection. I did it a couple nights ago and have been going to bed very late watching all the shows/movies that aren't on Netflix or Hulu. Haha. I used the link below:

That looks great!

Awesome!

Hahahahah!!

I've been meaning to make this post a few months back. But with the restructuring of our website and being heavily packed and busy with other tasks around the office, I haven't been able to update the blog consistently in almost 7 months. For today's article, as cliche as it may sound, it's better late than never. In March of 2015, Wilson's life ended as he fell victim to a deadly street racing crash as an innocent bystander in Chatsworth, CA. The news was quick to spread the morning of and we didn't know how to react. We were all dumbfounded in a terrible way. It still boggles my mind till this very day of how he had just came to SP about a week prior to pick up his GT-R when we had finished his SPE1300R upgrade and to hear of the horrible news a week later. *shrugs* If my memory serves me right, Wilson first came to SP in 2012 for some small aftermarket upgrades. It didn't occur to us till recently that he was an absolute car nut and had a handful of other cool cars at home and even at other shops getting built during the same time we were upgrading his SPE power package. Again, if memory serves me right, Wilson pulled the trigger on our SPE950R package back in 2013. After being satisfied with the power and liability, he upgraded to our SPE1000R package a year later. If there's one thing that Wilson was really good at, I'd say he was good at being indecisive. Haha. I say that because shortly after upgrading to our SPE1000R, he came back and wanted more power. We all thought he was insane. But, we had to give the man what he wanted and we were happy to help. Wilson also started concentrating on interior details as well as the exterior of the vehicle. He opted for a few carbon pieces by CarbonTek, a Willall shift light and a MINE's steering wheel. The 18" Advan GT's were magical on Wilson's GT-R. It looked right at home mated with M&H drag radial tires. Shortly after we had finished tuning his GT-R to 1300whp, Wilson bit the bullet on the RPS carbon-carbon brake kit for that extra stopping power he'd be needing at the drag strip. The RPS carbon-carbon brake kit sheds some serious weight! It's incredibly light and bites hard when up to temperature. And they look cool as hell. Wilson was a good man. Very humble, kind hearted and was never afraid to ask questions on something he wasn't sure of and would contstantly apologize when he'd think his questions are dumb. We're extremely sad that he was never able to fully enjoy his upgraded package to the fullest. RIP Wilson Wong & Eric Siguenza. Thanks for looking.

Hey guys. These are still up for grabs!!!

We have a pull video. Nothing exciting, though. https://instagram.com/p/3uA4WQHAMg/?taken-by=spengineering

Wayne approached us 2 weeks ago to see if we were able to perform an exhaust installation on his 2015 V10 R8. After some back and forth emailing, we settled on a drop off date a week later and the removal process began shortly after. The majority of RR vehicles are not easy to work on. But the R8 seems to have taken the cake on difficulty level compared to an Aventador we had previously worked on a week prior to this R8 being dropped off. It's insane how much has to come off in order to get to a specific part. Thankfully with the invention of v-band clamps, the hefty factory exhaust system came off with a breeze. We apologize for not having more photos of the Capristo unit. I was not aware that the heat shield HAD to be installed at the same time as the exhaust. All wired up to the Capristo programmble remote. The difference between "cruise" mode and "open" mode was life changing. Hope you're satisfied with the exhaust, Wayne! Thanks for looking. - SP

Paridis of Exelixis and partner of EVOMS visited SPE multiple times for us to perform a last minute exhaust installation on his Aventador and GT3 before he departed back to Greece. Paridis dropped off his Aventador and on the same morning, we received a next day air shipment from Fabspeed Motorsport for the exhaust we've been instructed to install and to perform a few dyno pulls for results. The chassis design on the new Lamborghini's have surpassed the old models by a huge margin. The hefty factory exhaust unit... ... compared to the Fabspeed unit. Unfortunately, the thought of weighing the 2 exhausts slipped our mind. The difference in weight between the 2 were big. Backtracking to the beginning of the day, we were thankful for an app like WhatsApp to communicate with our in-house tuner who was overseas at the time tuning a customers GT-R to help us set up the dyno or else we would have had a silly looking graph. The Aventador made 550WHP with the Fabspeed exhaust. Thanks for looking! - SP

Very sad news. May he rest in peace!

Danggg. Can't wait to see more photos when complete! Congrats!

Looks great!

Yellow is a happy color. Therefore, Allan is a happy guy. But, his Murcielago is more of a dull yellow. Dull yellow represents caution, sickness, decay and jealousy. Allan, you need to repaint your car. We're kidding. Allan's Murci shines bright like a diamond in sunny SoCal. As much as he appreciates GT-R's (Allan's Black Edition GT-R), he just wasn't 100% satisfied and came back to us with a first gen Murcielago to be given full attention to by our techs. Prior to Allan droping off his car with us, he had already gathered up a few parts for us to install. The techs cleared a lift for the yellow Murci and the transformation began. As raw as the factory calipers are, Allan wanted to paint match his calipers with his car. And lucky for him, his rotors still had some life left in it to be turned. While the car was being worked on, we found what looked like a bootleg bird nest of some sort from underneath the car. The old exhaust weighed in at 12.35 lbs... ... While the TiTek full titanium exhaust weighed in at an impressive 5.5 lbs. A CarbonTek CF exhaust shroud was also added into the list of items to install. Drilling into a body of an exotic isn't always a fun task. But worth it on so many levels. We couldn't leave Allan's exhaust tips looking like ass. So we got it powdercoated black for him. See anything noticeable? If you've guessed right, high five to you. Paint matched calipers came back. We debated if we wanted Allan to stop or not. But it'd be extremely evil of us. So we bled his brakes with love. Adjusting ride height just a wee bit. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for looking! - SP

Upskirting Allan's whore.

Ain't nobody got time to be keeping the primaries!
