Michael South Engineering (MSR)

How it all started?

I started out working for an engine reconditioning workshop as an apprentice Fitter Machinist. I built Holden & Chevy engines for competition purposes along with working on all of my own cars. I owned a XU1 Holden Torana, a VL Walkinshaw Commodore and a Holden Calais VL turbo during my 10 years as an apprentice. During this time, I had also obtained an Engine Reconditioner & Engineer trade certificate. Engines that I had built were being used in sprintcars, modified rods, HQ racing, Group-E racing, formula Ford, rally cars and many quick street cars and drag cars.

Johnny Clarke

"What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Mick & Tommo are genuine down to earth guys. I took my wife’s car in to be tuned, and was expecting to pay around $1000, however Mick said because the car had already been tuned there that he was able to do it at a fraction of the price. He could have held that information & charged me the full amount that I expected, so I take my hat off to him. Fair dinkum good service."

Neil Orenshaw

"Michael tuned my STI today. Couldn’t be happier with the result. Very knowledgeable guy who lives and breathes these cars. I won’t be taking it anywhere else."
