Performance Factory is going to Australia !!

Audible Mayhem · 01-08-2008, 09:47 PM

hey guys, this is just an announcement to let you know that we're headed to Australia. We have been chosen to build two cars for www.performanceforums.com team for this 2008 Drift Australia season. www.driftaustralia.com . Fellow My350z member (rolin7) contacted us via private messages a couple months ago for a quote and we are very honored to be selected for this task. AJ and i will be flown over in the middle of Feb. to install/tune everything we are currently building here at Performance Factory. These two 350zs will have everything they need to perform with some of the top drivers in the world....

Travis Dunstan will be one of the drivers for this team this season along with a second driver who is unannounced at this time. Here are a couple quick videos of Travis tearing up the scene.

We are still undecided on the engine management for them as of now, that will come very soon.

We are also needing 16 rims, we dont deal with a lot of rims so if you can help us out, please contact me. we need 4 18x8.5s for the front, and 12- 18x9.5s for the rear. big lips with a dark center, (gun metal, ect)

Big things coming this year!! stay tuned... if everything goes as planned, you will see these cars on US soil for a few months entering some US drifting events....

Thanks mate

Were very happy with everything you guys are doing for us. We were really looking for the right guys to do our two cars and unfortunately they just weren’t in Australia. The fact that you guys were willing to fly out to Australia to build the two cars works really well for us and your pricing was awesome as well!

We look forward to working with you guys over the coming months and we cant wait to have you guys over here

i also cant wait to see gear here in aussie land, what did you say it would be 4 pallets?

i fear for my city when you get here, theres only so many strippers!
