Earlier this year we decided to build the worlds first Rotary powered corvette drift car and having bumped into Gareth at Goodwood Festival of Speed and seeing Mike Widdett abuse engines built by PPRE first hand, i knew that PPRE were the guys to go to.
I contact Gareth late January with the idea of fitting one of their 20b race engines into the corvette and Gareth couldnt have been more helpful and re-assuring throughout the process. We paid the deposit for the engine to be built on the opposite side of the planet and were given a time scale of 3 months. Throughout this time, Gareth kept us updated and made sure that we got the engine in time.
The motor is an absolute animal and Gareth gave us plenty of help during tuning and initial setup.
I am now hooked on rotary engines and already looking for reasons to buy another engine from PPRE for the next project.

Really happy with the build that Gareth and his team have done on my RX7. Highly recommend PPRE for anything from advice to full-blown builds. They kept the costs within my budget and kept me updated on progress regularly. Will definitely use them again for servicing and anything else my car needs

I spoke to Gareth after having been disappointed with sub-par results from a 'name brand' kit supplied out of the US - which fell well short of the claims made online. The brief was to produce an ultra responsive circa 400rwhp street 13B set up for my FD RZ. PPRE has taken care of pretty much the entire driveline on the car, and I couldn't be happier. The result is a super power broad curve which makes for a rapid street and occasional track car - 10/10 from me.

My car has always been under care by PPRE crew for the past 9 years, they can build anything you after. Super happy with the work done on my car. The car is running superbly smooth. Thanks team.

Very happy with the recent work these guys did for me. The Owner of PPRE had plans to travel to my town so arranged a time to pick up the car to take it to their workshop and dyno to have the completion touches done on my car for the modifications I had done locally. They completed the last bits and tune with progress reports plus seeked further instructions from me on what I wanted to do so I could easily stick to the plan as well as the budget I was comfortable with. Thier approach was great on this as I’m very bad at sidetracking, changing plans and spending more $$ than I anticipated from the onset. When the car was done they arranged shipping back to my doorstep through one of thier contacts that is great on price and has the equipment along with the appreciation to transport modified vehicles. PPRE advised me what can be done to make more power in the future if I really wanted but recommended I enjoy my build for now. Great advice! the car is smooth and the tune is great. Anymore power and I would need new undies! Will be back rebuild time for sure! Thanks heaps guys.
