This weekend was a very successful weekend for Flatout Services. No wins, but very happy customers.
Bill and Spiro Perdikaris brought their Capri in about 12 months ago by way of a referral from mutual good friend Terry Cartwright. Flatout Services supplied and fitted front and mid engine plates for the Ford Windsor engine and rear transmission mount. The rear end needed an upgrade but had to be contained under the seat area so the already narrowed factory rails were plated and triangulated for strength and tubular crossmembers added to accommodate the Flatout Services designed and supplied chromoly noprep/radial four link brackets and 4 point track locator. Terry Cartwright built the housing with integral swaybar to his usual very high standards and then the affected area was covered in new sheetmetal. After a couple of test hits at Sydney Dragway a few weeks ago Spiro piloted the car to a 10.2 this weekend at the no prep event at Cootamundra Airstrip.
Dave Muscat has been unbeatable lately in his beautiful Shane's Chassis built Mazda R100. Flatout Services has been working with Dave for the last 18 months in an effort to extract the most out of it. After some successful changes to the four link we turned our attention to the front end. A new set of struts were built to get more weight transfer to the rear resulting in some spectacular wheels up launches on the tricky Cootamundra surface. Dave ran a 9.0@162 that stood briefly as the quickest 2WD pass ever at that track. Dave is a real thinker and very hands on and has a few more tricks up his sleeve so watch out for some even quicker times next time out.
Flatout Services would also like to congratulate Gina Bullians on her fantastic 7.09@193 licensing pass in Mick Grunbaum's Pro Stock Camaro. Thank you Mick for allowing me to play a very small part in this achievement and good luck to you and Gina in the future

Sometimes you have to take everything out to see how much work goes into these things

Flatout Services would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. After a very trying year, I'd like to thank my loyal customers for their patience and understanding. I'd personally love to forget 2025 as it just about killed me.
On the bright side, I'm really looking forward to finishing some overdue projects and starting on some exciting new ones, not to mention seeing Doug make me look slow in the Aussie Outlaw Anglia in 2026.

A very cool recent project was a carbon fibre one piece front clip for the Devils Taxi Valiant of Danny Makdessi. The car is slated for a rebuild at Scf Race Cars in the very near future and part of that brief is to put the car on a massive diet. The grille was smoothed over and a spoiler grafted on prior to a mold being taken. The finished piece came in at 33 lbs complete with stiffeners to keep it nice and solid. Boot (trunk) and 4 doors in progress.

This car came in for a sway bar but as can happen it kind of exploded. Thanks Terry Cartwright for the housing

Time to let the cat out of the bag!!

Since the blue pop (version 3) became a garden ornament in 2019, we have been working away quietly with John Willard at Flatout Services on our "Unfinished Business".

John's craftmanship and attention to detail speaks for itself, considering his own car is the fastest Anglia in the world! And he's only across the ditch, so it was a no brainer... Over the coming weeks we are preparing to pop her in a shipping container, but in the meantime we are stoked to share with you some photos of the build to date, so you can see all Johns hard work.

And no - it won't be out this season.
