There’s been plenty of stuff happening here at Tegiwa HQ during the month of April. With plenty of new products making their way onto our website we’ve also had the addition of 3 new brands too.
New brands
Now technically not a new brand, but we listed the EBC range of big brake kits on our website this month. These kits feature an unparalleled level of performance and are available in 4 and 6 piston applications as well as a range of colours too.
We then listed the most popular products from Profrom Parts. This is great news for the American V8 owners amongst us as their catalogue features plenty of Chevrolet parts as well as their super popular 2,250kg corner weighted scales.
Finally, we got the Axis Carbon catalogue listed. Axis Parts specialist in manufacturing high-quality, dry carbon exterior and interior styling parts. They have been involved in the development and manufacture of carbon components for several well-known Japanese vehicles including the Toyota Supra, Civic FK8 and FL5.
New location for Cars & Coffee
We also held our Cars & Coffee meet at the start of April too. If you’ve seen our drone shots on socials, we filled not only our car park but also next doors car park by 10am! Now it’s safe to say that these meets have been a roaring success. So, for our next meet we’re going to Takeover Seighford Airfield where we have capacity for 500 cars. Not only that but we’ll have trade stands from some of the biggest brands in the UK as well as drift displays from Tegiwa Racing and YSR sponsored drivers too!
You can pre-order tickets on our website now. Tickets are just £5 per vehicle, and you can bring as many people in your car as you can. Plus, if you pre-order your ticket rather than paying on the gate you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win an OMP steering wheel too.
All of the views!
There was some huge news we had to share over on our YouTube channel in April as we surpassed 1,000,000 total views across all our videos. A big thanks to everybody who’s watched our videos, subscribed to our channel and been a part of this journey so far!
2023 Driver Announcements
With the Time Attack and Drift Pro Championship fast approaching this weekend we had plenty of announcements to make. The first of which was us teaming up with seasoned drifter Ian ‘Bizz’ Phillips for the 2023 season. After finishing 4th in the overall drivers’ standings last year, Bizz is eager to go even further this year and we can’t wait to see him return to action running under the Tegiwa Racing with Alloy Wheel Shop marque!

We then announced Andy ‘Iceman’ Frost, the owner and brains behind ICEFAB, will be representing Tegiwa Racing with Coilovers.co.uk for the season. Andy has been away from the competitive world of drifting for a while but now he’s back with his stunning 680 horsepower 1JZ Silvia S14. After letting it rip yesterday at Tegiwa HQ we cannot wait to see him in action.
Finally, we announced that Yellow Speed Europe would be joining forces with Pauly C. Paul’s 840 horsepower 2JZ powered Silvia S15 is somewhat of an icon here in the UK drift community and we were super excited to say that he’s now rocking our brand new Advanced Pro Plus Racing 2-way Drift Spec coilovers. We can’t wait to see what difference this makes to Paul’s S15 this year!
What to expect in May…
Next month is set to be an exciting one once again. We’ve got the Civic EP3 back from Jenvey so we’ll be putting it through its paces with its new ITB’s. That won’t be one to be missed!
We’ll also have a trade stand at DMO’s Cars & Kebabs event at Santa Pod on the 16th. If you’re attending, then make sure you pop by and say hello!
