Edmargs Engine Reconditioning

Absolute master of his craft building engines. Quality is second to none and Tricky provides exactly what he says he can do. He is always available and quick to help with anything needed.I asked for a 600hp 363 windsor in a capri that will run a low to flat 10. I got 607hp and so far a 10.3 quarter.

If engines were dragons, Tristan Triccas at T-Rex Racing Engines would be the fire-breathing, cylinder-head-polishing Daenerys Targaryen of the automotive world.

I rolled up to T-Rex with my sad little Falcon, which was coughing like it had a cold, and begged Tricky to work his magic. Mate, this guy didn’t just fix it—he turned it into a 600hp beast that roars louder than my missus when I forget to take out the bins!
With 34+ years of wrenching under his belt, Tristan’s got more know-how than a Google search. The man’s a walking encyclopaedia of the engine world — apparently, “close enough” isn’t in his vocab.

Imagine a workshop where the coffee’s strong, the tunes are louder, and Tristan’s yelling at a carburettor like it owes him money. Yet, somehow, he’s always got time to answer your dumb questions. The whole T-Rex crew went above and beyond, sorting my ride for my daughter’s formal with a 393 stroker and C4 box combo that made the neighbours jealous.

If you want an engine that’ll make your mates weep and your tyres scream, T-Rex Racing Engines is the place. Tristan’s an absolute legend—part mechanic, part sorcerer, and all-around top bloke.

10/10, would let Tricky ruin my wallet again.
