Mean Machine is a team of automotive machinists who create, recondition, modify and improve the performance of engines of all sizes - from bikes to boats!

Every engine we touch has a home: a track, a road, a boat launch, or a shed where someone's been dreaming about what's next.

This week we're tuning in to the season coming up in Nelson and the Tasman, speedway, club racing, boat races, and reminding ourselves why we do this.

If your engine's going to race this year, now is the time.

That engine that has been sitting in the corner all winter?

Now is usually when the rest of the project starts moving - and the engine becomes the next job on the list.

Whether you’re restoring a classic, rebuilding a performance engine or finally getting back to a long-running project, this is a good time to talk to us about the machining work involved.

Bring in what you have. Tell us what you’re building. We can look at the engine or components and talk through the next step.

Summer has a habit of arriving quickly...
