Things have been absolutely flat out at the shop lately, and in Workshop Update 7, Ariel takes you behind the curtain to show you what’s really been going on at CPC Manufacturing. From the early days of cutting up sheet metal in a shed to now designing billet blocks and high-end intake manifolds, this update is a proper catch-up.
Remember Where It All Started?
CPC kicked off with sheet metal RB30 manifolds back in 2003. Hand-fabbed. Welded by eye. Sold by word of mouth. That humble start set the tone for everything that’s come since.
Fast forward to today and it’s a different beast, we’re now producing full billet intake manifolds, custom cam covers, and RB & 2JZ billet blocks that are going on some of the fastest cars in the country. It’s been a grind, but it’s also been worth every step.
What's New in the Shop?
Ariel runs through a heap of exciting projects in the pipeline:
- Billet blocks for RB26 and 2JZ
- New 4G63 and K-Series gear on the way
- CNC’d cam covers and RB parts in all-new anodised finishes
- Updates to our intake manifold lineup—including drag and street applications
It’s not just about flashy new parts though, everything’s backed by proper testing, R&D, and some good old trial and error.
Working with the Big Dogs
We’re stoked to be working alongside Precision Racing and a few other heavy hitters behind the scenes. The goal is simple: design parts that not only look wild, but can take punishment on the track and still keep ticking.
The Shop’s Getting a Glow Up
You’ll notice the workshop’s a bit of a construction zone right now. That’s because we’re fully revamping the layout, more machines, better flow, and more space to scale. It’s messy now, but it’s going to make a big difference in how fast and efficiently we can pump out your orders.
What’s Next?
With Jamboree 2025 on the radar, we’re setting ourselves up for a big year. Expect some wild builds, new product drops, and maybe even a surprise CPC car on display, stay tuned.
Running a shop like CPC is chaos most days. It’s late nights, tight deadlines, chasing materials, training new hands, and somehow still making time to push the R&D side.
But it’s that same chaos that keeps things interesting. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
