Paid a visit this week to talk to Mario,& see what was happening with Autotecnique, particularly with respect to the fact that now, being the premier HDT agent, they are now responsible for all HDT VE retro rebuilds.....in which case, let me tell you, the attention to quality & detail is......UNBELIEVABLE.
I saw a new donor vehicle, & it had been stripped down to NOTHING...no front panels, no engine, no interior, no rear suspension....NO NOTHING. Mario's view is that if a car has to be resprayed, then it should be the same as factory....or better. Attention to detail is unbelievable....the VL Group A was the car I was looking at.....there were currently three being built....I reckon they go to more effort to achieve the end result than Brock did.....but judge that for yourself.
Also spent time with the legendary Vinny Macaro....a LONG time member of the "Enhanced" vehicle fraternity, & a VERY worthwhile member of the Autotechnique "Crew".
I've been on this forum for a very long time, & I don't think I've ever heard a substantiated negative comment about Mario.....but anyway, if ya wanna see what's going on, drop in, tell Mario that Martin told you to "drop in".....YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED.
In this age, it's just good to see Aussies making a real go of things, and of course it ain't all HDT, it's all about LS1/2/3 where Autotechnique are the leaders with VCM Suite tuning..and ANY other "enhancements" you require ....all we seem to hear of these days, is how all the good stuff is going overseas....well in this instance......it ain't.....and it's really good to see an Aussie kicking goals, simply through hard work, and.....delivering a quality product.
Cheers, Pickles.
