Established in 1985 in Auckland New Zealand we have a reputation for being one of the best companies in the performance car industry. Our knowledge is extensive when it comes to import cars. Owner Peter Hopkins has been racing cars and bikes since 1973 against the likes of the late Peter Brock, Johnston, Longhurst, Pero and Richards.
The company has built many race cars over the years from the Mazda RX3 of the early 70's through to the mighty GTR Skyline of the 90's. Peter started his apprenticeship with Holden in 1971 moving to Suzuki Motorcycles in 1973 and Mazda in 1976. Peter has worked in the USA for Pontiac and Mazda building rotaries for their off road race trucks.
He has worked with Mazda in the USA where he was part of their rotary exchange program and Rotary Power in New Zealand. Peter Built one of the first rare 13B turbo engine's in the early 80's and has contributed to the prototype NZ triple rotor engine development in both 12A and 13B configurations.
