Hello Supraholics,

Kaizen has moved to a bigger location, to better take care of our customers. I didn't expect the move to be so sudden, but the space that we have now came at a great price with lots of perks. We have lots of big Projects going and with that kind of demand for our services we outgrew our old shop. Here are some pictures of the new shop.

We moved in but not done unpacking yet! I have lots of stuff that we need to get rid off, so start looking around our section for killer deals on engines, parts and anything that we found during the move.

Thanks again for your support and sorry for the lack of communication for the last three weeks, it's been a tough month for us, but we are getting back on track this week.


-Jose

Oh yea pics :naughty:

First pic of the move, we had some work to do that day, so we did it later that day.

Oh yea, the new address is

749 S. Lemon Ave #A2
Diamond Bar, CA 91789

The new shop is about 2 miles West of the old shop in Walnut. We have 5 lifts, alignment rack and tire mounting and balancing and we are working on getting a dyno. I want it to be a one stop shop for anyone that wants a Supra, Lexus and Nissan worked on.

Wow! Big Congrats on the new place Joser. I'll swing by sometime soon with white chalk, two goal posts and a football so we can play indoors now! :biglaugh:

Good luck out growing that place. Even SP Engineering would be jealous!

I remember back in the day, hanging out, watching you change the brake pads/rotors on your Powder Blue NA Mk3 in the street by the gutter in the Valley. You have come a loooong way my friend.

Anyway, looks like u already got a full shop and enough hands to help keep the business on its feet for a long time to come. Soon YOU will be the one sitting on the computer at work, barking orders at the employees, having others do deliveries/pickups, watching videos on youtube/boob, driving your TT Lambo up and down the street on C16, flossin' ur Rolex and flippin' off cops just cause u feel like it. :evil2:

btw, that red MKIV with all the CF stuff was for sale at this mom and pop dealership down here in Cerritos area FOREVER! Saw it 2 years ago and choked on my gum when they told me how much they wanted for it. :icon_razz

Thanks guys!

Clint- There is a shower room in the shop! :aigo:

Nick: You have been through it all with me, we are old school! That Red Supra has been out of comission for that long. We will most likely start it for the first time tomorrow. It sat at UPFD for one year and all it needed was a JDM engine installed.

Congrats Jose.

His car is the other side of the shop by it self, waiting for a turbo manifold so I can finish it. Is not my fault that the manifold he had made was no good! :biglaugh::sarcasm:

All kiddin' aside, the other side of the shop that doesn't have lifts is for fabrication and wiring work. (where his car is) I dont need a lift to do wiring. The fabrication corner will have a lift, but it's still at the old shop, I just need to pay someone to go get it out. :icon_mad:

I like the Idea of a BBQ. I will set it all up, and will have good deal on parts and any other stuff that we have at the shop that we need to move. I have allot of spare parts that I know most will need.

How does a BBQ and sale in three weeks sound? :naughty:
