Weekly Wrap Up - 14 March 2014

Another exciting week for the AM boys. Ok, I lied, maybe not as eventful as last week but… to begin with, we got our 2nd shipment of p3 gauges and most, believe it or not, have been accounted for… we still have some left so if you want one, call us NOW (ok maybe not now, we’re open 10-6, Monday-Friday)

And of course, after months of waiting, our beloved hoist is finally up! That means the AM boys can start test fitting stock on the development cars rather than relying on some jack stands… we don’t want any of our boys getting squashed by cars on a jack stand now do we?! Hint Hint Nudge Nudge!

And finally, our business cards are finally on order and are being shipped to Australia as we speak! Exciting times!

Now guys, did anyone guess what was going on in the picture last week?

That, guys and girls, was an electrifying project for our AM boys. It was a RS3 grill fabricated to fit none other than an S3! There WAS only 6 of these in the world! Now, there is the 7th! The 7th wonder of the world guys (hahaha!)

As this week draws to an end, the F1 is in town and kicked off with an exciting start!! With new rules and regulations in place this year, it will be an interesting season, that’s for sure!!! So… who’s going?

That’s all from us this week.

Stay Tuned!

Weekly Wrap Up - 7 March 2014

What a week it has been again! 2nd week in and the AM boys have been nothing but BUSY!!

The week started with a hell of a lot of traffic... seriously?!

Once we FINALLY got to HQ, it was heads down, bums up because one of our beloved customers (a real auto enthusiast who had purchased our Forge Twintercooler and both the Quick Shifter and Side Shifter Kit) decided to attempt the installation himself! BUUUTTTTT, MR DIY later found, it was harder than he thought and needed some assistance!

Super-AM came to the rescue to help out with a few technical questions and one of our trusted engineers assisted MR DIY with the installation. The mission was complete in no time! And with no surprise, our beloved customer was more than delighted with the fitment and functionality of the products and having them properly installed JUST before the LONG weekend!!

But that's not all folks, we spent the week fitting the following into our development S3. 

FMINTS3FS - Twintercooler for Audi S3 2 ltr FSiT pre 2009

FMVWQS - An Adjustable Quick Shifter for VAG 6 Speed Models

FMVWSQS - VAG 6 Speed Side Quick Shift

A picture says a thousand words... So here is a photo from the installation. 

To continue the week, we received a small order of DBA rotors Front & Rear Discs for MK6 Golf R & Audi 8P S3 for a group of our Melbourne customers... yes.. more toys for the boys.. and girls :)

So here's a few questions for you guys... How would you like to improve on your throttle response for the 2.0T engines?  How about fitting a charge pipe and discharge pipe! 

Well auto lovers, here are some pictures from one of our customer that did just that by installing the Forge Motorsport Charge and Discharge Pipe Upgrade Kit. 

http://forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=&product=FMABPSCI Polished Metal finish, higher flowing, better throttle response and Sexy! 

Stock charge pipe from intercooler to the throttle body. 

Discharge pipe on the car. 

But guys, we're not just all about hardware, believe it or not, we also do performance tuning as well!! This week, we had a mini clubman come in for a Manic Motorsport transformation!!  

Stay tune for further updates as we explore this mini with additional Manic Motorsport upgrades.

That’s all from us this week.

Stay Tuned!

Weekly Wrap Up - 28 February 2014

Wow what a week it has been for team AUTO MODELISTA! Our FIRST week has started with a BANG with our first official launch and AM’s first time outing together at the one and only, 100mm!

It’s been a week of “firsts” for our AM boys, first official launch, launched our first (and only) Facebook Page, first outing together (we went to yumcha, yummy in my tummy) and most importantly, we got our new AM Bin!! Yes, that’s right, an Auto Modelista bin… don’t be jealous!

Launching our business at 100mm was not only a huge success for us but it was also a great opportunity for us to show off some of our products. With our Sales Specialists on the ground, we were able to introduce our FORGE range, stocking everything from silicone hoses to diverter valves, MANIC tunes for BMW, Mercedes and Mini’s, P3 gauges and our Dash Cam with dual front camera’s which installs on top of your rear view mirror. So now, you can capture the moments when silly drivers do silly things on the roads!!

More pictures on our facebook page

It was not all smooth sailing for team AM who were up until wee hours of Saturday morning, still prepping our cars and having to be at the show by 6am. Having the whole AM team there to set up and mingle with the crowd, we were able to show the Auto Community what we are capable of! It was safe to say, that 5pm didn’t come quick enough as the boys were all exhausted by the end of the day (some may say it was old age kicking in, some might not agree).

Still buzzing (and exhausted) from the day before, the boys ventured out to Yumcha to have their first meal together to discuss the pro’s and con’s of the day before. We know there were definitely some teething problems, but all agreed that we had a successful day and everyone pulled their weight (great work guys!)

AM’s first week also marked the beginning of a new Partnership with Ark Designs, specialising in exhaust systems for FT-86, Mk5 & Mk6. It was a huge win for AM as we aim to rule the world (ok, not really the world but in auto parts).

To finish off the week, we were able contact all our customers with their enquiries, contact our suppliers for more stock and finally getting some rest!

We would like to congratulate the winners of the Trim Removal kits, hope they come in handy for you one day (if not, just call us). We’d also like to thank 100mm for allowing us the opportunity to participate as Vendors at the show, thank all those involved with the set ups, the cars and the photography for the day and lastly, thanks to all our family and friends who had supported us throughout our journey so far and their continual support here on after.

That’s all from us this week.

Stay Tuned!
