In September 2018, the Car SOS team returned to the Jap Performance Parts workshop to feature our beautifully restored Toyota Celica GT. The visit was a highly anticipated event, marked by the arrival of Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend, who were eager to showcase our Celica GT in an upcoming episode. Known for their dedication to preserving automotive history, Tim and Fuzz sought to highlight the exceptional craftsmanship and expertise that went into the restoration of this iconic model from the golden era of Japanese sports cars.

Throughout their visit, the Car SOS team engaged deeply with our technicians, exploring the intricate details of the restoration process. Discussions covered the challenges of sourcing rare parts, the precision required for engine fine-tuning, and the delicate balance of implementing modern upgrades while maintaining the car’s classic appeal.

By the end of the day, the Celica GT stood as a testament to the effort of the Jap Performance Parts team. The episode not only showcased the technical expertise and dedication of our team but also celebrated the enduring allure of classic cars. This feature left a lasting impression on viewers, reinforcing the strong bond between Car SOS and Jap Performance Parts and highlighting our commitment to automotive excellence.

As the Car S.O.S. team selected the necessary components, our lead technician recognised Tim’s genuine enthusiasm and offered him a unique opportunity to experience our craftsmanship firsthand. This unexpected invitation led to the highlight of the visit: a thrilling test drive in our flagship Subaru Drift Car. Guided by our skilled driver, Tim embarked on a heart-pounding ride that showcased the car’s extraordinary power, agility, and precision handling. The exhilarating drift session not only demonstrated the superior quality of Jap Performance Parts but also left Tim deeply impressed and exhilarated, cementing his appreciation for our commitment to performance excellence.

After looking at our extensive stock Tim Shaw left Jap Performance Parts with much more than he was looking for! The collaboration remains a cherished memory, reflecting the perfect blend of professional exchange and shared passion for cars. This experience underscored what makes Jap Performance Parts a leader in the industry: our relentless pursuit of perfection, deep-rooted love for cars, and unwavering commitment to delivering the best to our customers. We look forward to future projects with Car S.O.S. and other enthusiasts, continuing to push the boundaries of automotive performance and innovation.
