New Vendor saying hello!

[K STYLEZ]

We're glad to be on board here at offroadtb.com!!! I'm Karl, and I'll be dude answering any Q's on here.

A bit about us:

We're a family owned/operated business out of the Chicago area. Founded roughly 35 years ago by my father, the operation was more centered on tool and die work and industrial electronics. Approximately 8 years ago we decided to foray into the retail performance market. We've had tons of fun as we are all major gear heads. Over the last few years we've been focusing on the manufacture of more of our own products, so as to showcase our design and manufacturing capabilities/talents.

We currently offer a variety of chassis and cuspension components,engine performance items, gauge mounting parts, ignition wires, turbo parts, CNC ported cylinder heads, install tools, dress up parts etc for:

WRX
Focus
SRT-4 Neon
Caliber
GM A body
GM G Body
GM F Body
Ford Fox Body
Ford S197 Mustang
Others!

We try to do as much in house as possible to assure quality and on time delivery.

Vertical and horizontal machining
Grinding
Wire EDM
Tube bending
Sandblasting
Powder coating
Welding
Vinyl graphics
Heat Press (for apparel)

Our automotive tastes are all over the place. Pretty much everything with motors and wheels!

My present personal stash consists of:

1963 Fairlane
1966 Suburban
1982 Thunderbird
1987 Thunderbird Turbocoupe
1988 XR4Ti
1998 ZX2 Racecar
1999 ZX2 Racecar
2000 Focus Wagon
2001 Blazer Xtreme
2001 Focus Wagon Racecar
2002 Focus Wagon
2002 Focus ZX3
2003 Focus sedan
2005 Trailblazer 4.2


The amazing thing is that EIGHT of them are presently running!!! That's over 50% and i'm pretty stoked about that.

I'm into road racing, drag, circle track and off roading.

Anyways, I knew I'd be modding the TB soon, so I figured it would be easy to fab up some rear suspension stuff for her. We've gone ahead and put them into production, see our other thread for all the details.

We look forward to supplying these parts, and hopefully some other new items as time goes on!!!

1988 XR4Ti

Odd looking little cars. Kind of bath tubby like the older Saabs. Is this one of the eight?

[K STYLEZ]

I always thought they were way cool looking.

RWD, IRS, turbo intercooled. Pretty advanced for a car that came out in 84.

Mines a nice rust free texas car.

I yanked the old Lima 2.3 out a few months back though. I'm going to swap in a 2.3 Duratec (all aluminum out of a 2004 Focus) with a mustang T-5. Installing the Cosworth wings and grill.

I'll snap some pics tomorrow.

Odd isn't bad. I have a soft spot for Fieros... so I'm crazy too.

Will the 2.3 be FI as well?

[K STYLEZ]

I'm going to put in a stock long block I have now with the Focus harness and ECU and get that operational. Once I get that moving I've got a nice cast turbo manifold I'll hang a GT28RS off of. Stock long should hold 300 tire all day.

Those old Lima's could hold alot of power, but were boat anchors. This Duratec weighs in at 200 pounds less than old FOUR cylinder beleive it or not.

So I'll have fun with that power level for a while and then maybe drop in a built setup.


Always dug Fieros too!!!

I just saw a Fiero last night that was being reworked. The engine sounded pretty nice.
