TWM Employee Rides Thread!!! (Skyline build inside )

Hello everyone,

For the fun of it, I thought that I would post some pictures for Evolutionm.com to see what our employees ride to work in everyday (during the summer months of course ) to show you guys that all of us at TWM share your passion in modified cars! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures even though none of us own a Evo yet

Car #1 - Patrick from TWM Performance's 365whp turbo D16. The car was originally built to be his daily driver, but as time went on, it evolved into the track/street monster that it is today.

























Car #2 - Mitch from TWM Performance's R32 Skyline GTR. Mitch bought this mint condition GTR only a few month ago and already has some big plans. The guys at TWM are going to be pulling the motor in the coming weeks for a rebuild to make some big power come summer 2010 Stay tuned for pics of the build!












Car #3 - TWM Performance's WRX. This car was purchased by TWM as a shop car. Over the years it has undergone numerous modifications both inside and out. Unfortunately the car was sold, but all of us at TWM will remember the fun we had building this ride!



















Feel free to leave any comments or questions!

Patrick

Some pictures of the Skyline build!

Keep in mind that the shop doesn't have a lift yet so we did our best lol


Once the bumper was all dismantled, fluids drained, and jacked up.







Strapping the RB in




Engine being pulled...man these engine bays are tight...making sure everything is disconnected lol




Empty bay ready to be shinned up, and a new engine planted in.

The R32 looks like its going to be a great ride. The OEM R34 wheels look pretty good on it.

Here are a couple more quick pictures of the cars in the shop. We had some spare time the other day so Mitch went and put some new shift knobs in the cars.

Here is my Turbo civic with the hugely popular TWM Performance Piston Shift knob (excuse the ecu and wiring everywhere...I'm in the middle of doing some wiring fixes lol):








And here is Mitch's Skyline with the TWM Performance Classic light weight aluminum shift knob!





Hope you all enjoy the pics!
