Read on about THE aSTIG’s profile.
Hi aSTIG
Looking for a car fabricator who can possibly build a replica british style sports car 1960s vintage i.e MG or Morgan.
Regards
David Shaw, Renta Jeep, Camiguin Island, Philippines
Hi David,
Thanks for posting. I have a shop for you who says they’re looking forward to take this on. They can do it in Fiberglass or Sheetmetal. They’d be needing pictures all around. Please contact WarpZone New Age Customs at Sta. Mesa. 0917 5131778. Let me know how it turns out! Thanks!
Hi aSTIG,
I’m not sure if this the right website to ask, but I hope you can refer a shop who does custom made vans or trucks into a roving kitchen. We need 4 units of this.
Best,
Peachy
Hi Peachy! I will ask my contacts and will get back to you. Thanks!
astig… good day. it’s my first time. i have a corolla xl 12 valve and i know such is not a powerful car but i’m wondering how would i increase my engine’s power. can you put a turbo on a 12 vavle engine? if not what are the possibilities of increasing the horsepower? can you help me out on engine customization?
Hi Victor! Welcome to CustomPinoyRides.com! Sure we’ll help you out. I’ll submit this in as a question for the AUTO GUROs so we’ll have a lot of heads thinking together to answer your question. I’ll post the answers soon. Thanks!
Hi Peachy, people are saying ATOY Body Kits is the shop to go to for conversions like these. Let me try and ask Atoy Llave, the owner. Will keep you posted.

Hello aSTIG,
Tried registering to the forum but it’s unavailable at the moment. Was looking for a place to get ideas and info from. I recently got an old lancer, “singkit” per my research, but I’m not particularly sure which type or model. I was looking for people who know of them extensively and who also might be able to work on it. Hope you could swing some help my way.
Cheers!
Hi Khaliz! We have friends at MyMitsuPH.com who would be willing to help you out on your Singkit Lancer. Let me know how it goes!
I can see that you are an expert in this area. I am launching a website soon, and your information will be very useful for me.. Thanks for all your help and wishing you all the success in your business.

Sometimes I just think that people write and dont really have much to say. Not so here
how can i featured my car here??
hi chan! please email custompinoyrides@gmail.com with some shots and a description of your ride and we’ll take a look at it. thanks!
check out the website. may jollibee sticker pa hehe. thanks.
Can’t see which post has the sticker bro…
what mods can i do with my 4afe engine?? where can i buy performance parts for my engine?? thanks
Hi Chan! There are waay too many mods you can do with a 4AFE. Depends on a lot of things like what you wanna do with at and what you’ll be using it for, as well as how much you’re willing to spend?
i wnt it for drag kahit pa onti2 lang like cams etc…
Have you tried joining a Toyota club dude? Like Grupo Toyota or TACP? They can offer lots of valuable info, depending on your preference. Coz if it were me, if I were to tinker with the engine down to replacing internals and cams, I would want to start with a good base such as a 4AGE, at least a hi horse or a sliver top. No pun intended on the 4AFE, as it’s a very reliable motor for daily use. But as far as I know it was meant more for Fuel Economy than Racing, hence the “FE”.
Hi Astig,
I’ am planning to restore my Dad’s car and hoping you can lead me to the right direction. The model of the car is Toyota Corona 1979.
Hi Arjun – Where are you located? If you can drop by the Las Pinas area, I know just the right people to help you – Cartistics Garage. They specialize in Old School Japanese cars such as your Corona!
anyone nag sesell ng old school car??
Hi , I am based in Ireland (near UK) and plan on another visit to PH next week. Actually I am getting married to my fiance , originally from Cebu.
I will be in the Philippines for 4 weeks and would love to visit / make new contacts with anyone in the trade , particularly Drifting and other bodykits / performance parts etc.
Any ideas ? I had thought of contacting Rota to see if I could visit their factory – their products are very popular here, and maybe Atoy ?
Basically I would like to have business contacts and suppliers in PH ( it would give me the excuse to visit more often!!!! ).
Any ideas for me ???
Id love to attend a drift event etc too ………..
Maraming Salamat !!
Also maybe looking for someone to manufacture parts in fibreglass ?? Spoilers etc.
Hi Brian! Great to hear! Congratulations and best wishes man! Email me when you’re here in the Philippines and have some free time. I can hook you up, as the contacts you’re looking for are actually my sponsors! Here’s my email: custompinoyrides@gmail.com. Cheers mate!
Ok , will do !
Thanks!
Any other ideas of things to do or see while visiting email me on driftkits@aol.com
Cant wait to get there now!!!
hi!
planning to customize in and out my fathers old ” Mitsubshi 2000 space wagon ” i … as i have surf the net and have seen customized ones …. looking for a shop capable of doing such things in cebu … hope you can help me out and recommend somebody..
looking forward on your reply. many thanks!!
ryann
Cebu? Hmm… Let me ask my Facebook buddies let’s see if they have contacts in Cebu. Is the space wagon a gas or diesel variant? And what mods do you want to do with it?
Let me know about people in Cebu too – Im here now lol!
I personally dont have contacts in cebu but i can ask my facebook buddies. Are you coming over to manila?
Not sure tbh. Ill see how time goes. I would like to maybe visit the Rota factory if possible because we sell a lot of these at home . And I know most of the car scene is in the Manila area. Any drift events coming up ???
Rota factory is here in Manila…
Lateral Drift was last July 23 and 24! The next one is on September 10 and 11 mate. Will you still be here by then?
But if you’re after a car related event in Cebu, there is one coming up this weekend Aug 5-7 at the Cebu International Convention Center. The 2011 One Cebu Inter Autoclub Meet.
Sir Astig,
I just bought a mazda 3 1.6L V last month but im not so convinced on the looks. Maybe you could refer me to a shop here in cebu that customize mazda?or any shops that sells mazda accessories?
Many Thanks
Hi Bong – Am sorry not very familiar with shops in Cebu. But feel free to post your question on our Facebook Page and perhaps one of the shop owners might respond http://www.facebook.com/custompinoyridesdotcom
But if you want one of the body kits from Atoy Customs, there’s a promo going on. And since the prices are really affordable now, that may offset the shipping cost to Cebu! Check it out here, and let me know what you think. http://www.atoycustoms.com/bodykits/mazda/ We can work on sending it to you in Cebu. Let me know which one you’d like. Thanks!
Yeah thanks , I got to see the show at CICC !
Had planned on going to Manila / Quezon and visiting several places , but just didnt get a chance.
Back home now, back at work!
Sounds like there is an opening for a custom shop in Cebu area ????
Maybe I should come back ………………
