Still here. I’ve just been busy doing a little of this and a little of that.

Normally I would post this on my personal stuff, but he was a part of this business for a while so I figured I would share the story and news with you guys on here as well since many of you got to know him also:

Around 2011, this guy came in to bring me parts with Herman, while I was just starting in this industry. He was already established in this game. His passion was present to me from day 1. We would cross paths at 2K and the big meets. Always saying “What’s good homie” with a beer in hand.

His talents were up there, and he was always sought after working at most of the big shops we all know today. As I grew and opened R&S, I was no different. Finally around 2020 I had the chance to hire him for myself. For the few of us who had the chance to have him, we all know how much of a headache that can be sometimes. But I spent that time learning more about what I didn’t know and teaching him it was okay to slow down a little and just make it pretty. He loved his damn tips, tricks and shortcuts.

He eventually left here to go somewhere else, and then begin his own shop. I remember him telling me. “Brother, I couldn’t have been more fu***ng proud of you.” We even talked about it when you were with me.

He popped by about a month ago on his way back from TSP to check out the new place, and catch up. Never imagined that’s the last time I will have got to bu****it with you when I heard you passed away yesterday.

While he built a lot of things, his biggest build was working on bettering himself for his 2 kids. If you kids read this, your old man loved you. Jess, when you made varsity he was so excited and proud. I will remember that day. Aug, he would always say “dammit boi, just like me.”

Rene Aguilar, thank you. For being kind to my kids when they were in the shop. For stressing me out by showing up late as f**k, on the days you would come in, saying “Hoody Hooo” to announce your arrival. Then just getting to work like nothing happened.

Race, Ride, and above all else, Rest in paradise man. I will miss you friend, we all will. Until next time brother.

Eddie’s Gen 2 wrapped up: this Whipplecharged 6R had the fuel system and all the supporting mods. Final piece of the puzzle was the Kooks Longtubes paired up to his Corsa’s that were already on the car.

Wait for this ugly weather to go away and see how she does and sounds.

Is Whipple Wednesday still a thing? Asking for a friend.

Kris’ 23 GT was a stock car Monday afternoon, but not anymore: Stage 1 3.0L kit with boundary OPG/CSS.

Peek-A-Boo.

Conners Twin Turbo Gen 3 got its next round of upgrades. BMR suspension, Keltrac’s, Anderson brakes, and a built 10R80. This bitch about to move out.

Earvin’s GT350 with a Hellion Sleeper kit dialed in. Car is still on factory tires so had to do a boost by gear hit to keep it straight. 8,10,12psi on E85.

Yet another episode of “We didn’t build it, but we’ll fix it.” This was as easy as following directions and still was done wrong.

Today we have Luis’ 22 GT sporting a 3.0L Whipple GT. The dyno results AFTER were 364hp and 318tq. Yes, that’s less than stock. Fixed their issues and now it’s actually making boost.

There’s no other performance modular pro’s in Austin.
