It was weird how it went from 0 to 50kmh in like a split second? And then I liked the hood open warning at 320kmh a little scary. The blinker and high beams give a perfect glimse of the adrenaline going on in the cockpit. He was bumping all kinds of crap. Cant wait til this ones done.

Got to do my usual drive and stop by Southbay Autohaus to check on the progress and i'll let the pics do the talking












KW V3 coilover suspension installed already ...Overall i was really blown away with the work and how precise this guys work, I guess SouthBay Autohaus proved and is proving to everyone how stuff should be done...Mark@SouthBay Autohaus and Alex@Gpower can probably build another motor in their sleep...the thing is the shipment of parts got delayed by UPS

South Bay Autohaus has been constantly stepping up to the game and showing their skills. I recently had some major work done there and could not be happier. Big up to Qais, Mark, and Ralph

This is my first post so I want to say hello to everyone. I'm the owner of Vehicular Motion Motorsports who is currently the distributor for G-Power.

I want to say that it has been a pleasure working with South Bay Autohaus on this project.

South bay is now the official G-power installer on the west coast. They are the only company to receive official one on one training and technical support from G-power. No other company can say this in the United States.

They are true professionals and we look forward to working with them in the future.

Pics from today and yesterdays build...I have to say that the long hours (12-16 hours a day) of building this monster really paid off when it fired up for the first time...watching them take a fresh engine out, rebuild/ strengthen it, put it back together and install a twin supercharger is imho like "poetry in motion" I am glad that SouthBay Autohaus and Gpower gave everyone full access of this first ever build in North America...

I'm ready sir!

OPen wide




Mark doing the honors and Alex spotting


Diether!!!


The sweet smile of victory


Alex double checking...this guys is like a machine at work!



First manifold installed

Second one in!
