Guys, Shop will be closed December 23-28th and on the 31st and January 1 for the holidays.

We will also be attending the January Jam Race in Flowood Ms, and will be closed January 21-25th to get ready and attend this event.

If your sending your car in to be prepared for this event and have not got with me about this please do so. I'll need to get these cars sent out to you by January 13th. This will allow for shipping times. This also means that I need your car and parts by January 6th. You can text me at 12299771905 and we can get it planned. I can only take a few more so the sooner you can ship them the better.

Thanks,

AB

Default Engine Rebuild and break in service

For the service I tear down the engine and clean internals. Measure and inspect. As long as everything looks good I go ahead with new ceramics and a resize. Should the engine need internals replaced I get with you and let you decide. Try to make the engine look as new as possible. Very little break in required and your engine is ready for more laps.

Default Speed .21 rebuild

Engine came in as shown. These have to be drilled out without damaging engine to get internals out.

Had a JQ Products 1/8 Buggy come into the shop for a Rebuild. Customer sent it complete. With his service I check clutch and clean up engine and pipe. Engine ended up being real low on compression so he got fresh bearings and a resize as well. Ready to Go!

guys, message me or follow my facebook Speed Shop page about details on sleeve resizing work. I want to get some work out in the hands of racers who have not used me yet and will be offering super cheap pricing if you send Piston and Sleeve/Rod only. Fast turn around time.

I have quality tooling and you have no worries about your sleeve getting messed up. Give me a shot

Default Recent Pipe Cleaning

Just had a great experience with Alan and his pipe cleaning service. Just like in the pictures, the pipe was brought back to looking nearly brand new. I could also immediately notice a difference on track. Very quick turnaround time and great communication. Don't hesitate to deal with him! Keep up the good work!

Default VSPEC REBUILD

The vspec that came in a few days ago got the Speed Shop Rebuild and turned out to be a nice engine. Has a new crank and a new rod(extra) with it and it's listed on the for sale thread.

Default Engines listed in for sale thread

All these engines are nice engines. All internals checked out good. I don't know the runtime on the engines but looking at outside wear and internal wesr and measurements its fairly low. Bearings all tight in cases.Compression good on all engines. Check them out in for sale. You don't have the option to many times to look inside of the engine your buying. Text me at 12299771905 or follow my Facebook page for more details.
