Porsche Cayman/Boxster mufflers - Feedback
Brad Dunne Perth WA
I want to say a huge thanks to Tony and his team at Mako. I run a Porsche
Cayman in the Sports Series in Perth and needed an upgraded exhaust system
which was proving very expensive to source as most are UK / US imported and
naturally very expensive. After lots of on line research I came across a local
manufacturer from Sydney that had engineered a solution that provided the
sound and air flow upgrades at a fraction of the cost. Tony being a Toolmaker
by trade had the skills and attention to detail that ensured the modifications
were conducted remained of the highest quality. In Fact I work with a number
of Porsche race car engineers whom could not find any evidence of the new
work as the welds were as good if not better than factory spec. The price
also was a fraction of the imported systems and the turnaround was within
a week. I couldn’t be happier with the exhaust system that Mako provided and
by using my stock system, then engineering the upgrades, naturally the fit
back was perfect. I couldn’t recommend Mako more highly and above the great
result an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Custom Booster - Feedback
Luke Cassar NSW - US 1963 Futura
Hi Tony, Just want to personally thank you for all your time, patience and
expertise in the custom supply of brake booster and master cylinder for US
1963 Futura. Upon starting this upgrade I was well aware of the difficulty
involved due to the availability to get US parts and the problem of space
on the fire wall as I wanted the stock look. From the first phone call you
were very knowledgeable and helpful and I could tell you where also up for
this challenged for finding the best possible solution. A few discussion on
what I wanted and needed from the brakes we got started with the solution.
After the first combo didn’t fit in the tight spot due to my strut brace you
immediately sent another out to get the job done without question and followed
it up with a few phone calls to help get the adjustment right. This resulted
in an old 1963 car stopping in my opinion better than I could of imagined,
I was very happy with the results to say the least. So just wanted to say
thanks again Tony definitely recommend you guys to anyone after great value
and service in the brake game.
BUICK Disc Brake Conversion - Feedback
Jeff Holthenrichs USA - 1969 Riviera
Tony! You beautiful Aussie Sonofabitch! The brakes are FANFU*#INGTASTIC!!
I’ll say, the first 3 times I went for them tooling down my street, they just
weren’t there. I had nothing. Then BOOM! They came right on as things settled.
It stops so good!!! Thank you!!!!!!! I’ll be getting another set of brackets
maybe next winter to have welded solid in a jig to keep from warping. But
I do want them welded solid, just for safety on the track. But WOW! That othersystem
is so cobbled together with mismatched parts it is a wonder they haven’t been
sued. I’m spreading the word!!!!! My post about your setup on the Riviera
Facebook page has gotten some good responses. I hope it pushes some business
your way. I drove it again yesterday and I still can’t believe that it stops
like a modern car. And I even have a high pedal!
Just drove it again finally. Had to wait about 2 weeks to fix the header
gaskets. Still amazed at the braking quality!

Hi Tony Just got back from taking the Buick for a run to Stanwell tops. The
more I drove the car the better the brakes felt. It was money and effort well
spent. Should have done it years ago. Thanks to you and Greg Massey for your
help, professionalism and time. Regards
Greg Massey Sydney - 1968 Riviera
Hi Tony, Just drove '68 to Bulli and back. Brakes performed really well...they
pull straight from above 100k (nice change), no shudder or lock up. I have
checked hose connections and can't see any weeping. I felt wheels/rims once
a arrived home front and back only slightly warm. I have now done about 80miles
and so far very good. Thought you might be interested.
Sway Bar Kits - General Feedback
Trevor Vrettos, VIC
Just a brief note to thank your organization for giving us the time of day and
patience to solve a potential serious problem. Our Ford BF series 11 RTV tray
utility developed swaying from side to side at speed due to the beefing up and
raising the suspension to accommodate the so called one ton capacity that it
was supposed to carry. Everyone we spoke to could not come with a solution and
your company not only had the solution but made the sway bar and links to match
the RTV unusual suspension and diff set up. I strongly suggest anyone who has
an unusual suspension problem or requires suspension parts to contact your organisation.
Again a big thankyou.k
Randy, USA
Hey Tony i just wanted to write you and let you know that the brake kit was
installed pretty easily, and it works great. Those new brakes help stop the
car a lot quicker, especially since I put some 22 inch wheels on the car. Thanks
for everything. once I do a little body work to it and paint it I will send
you some finished |
