Customer Testimonials

Replika Maschinen, Inc - where machines are a spiritual journey

We are proud of all of our happy customers. Here is what a few of them have said about us. 

"Where's the chain for this piece of jewelry you just sent me?"
"By the way it also works great, better power and throttle response everywhere!"
Al Carreon, Los Angeles Performance Division (commenting on the RMI modified Corvette throttle body he just received)

"I will be sending you a new piston today for thermal coating. I can not believe how good this engine is still running, the old piston looks just fine after 4000 + miles, YOU ARE THE MAN."
John Castro, Fluidyne High Performance
 
"I cannot explain how awesome your job was!"
Le Short, Racer's Edge Graphix (Pro National STC Series)

"Your cylinder head combinations are always killer."
Jason Willis -- #25 Willis Racing (Mini Sprint)

"We have found significant power gains from thermal coating various engine components."
Dart cylinder heads shop foreman Ted W. Keating on their experiences with thermal coatings in Pro-Stock Drag and marine racing.

"The car ran like a banshee, mondo power! 7000 RPM in 5th gear and still pulling hard! We didn't have enough race track for the engine's power."
Rick Weldon, driver for Flyin' Miata Open Track Challenge car, at Willow Springs International Raceway, "The Fastest Road in the West"

"The engine was bulletproof."
Toby Weir-Jones, 2nd in U4, Open Track Challenge 2003

"Forty plus extra horsepower and sixty-five pounds feet of torque, we'd never gone over five hundred horsepower before! And you just did the intake manifold; I wish I'd have given you the heads too!"
Mustang Ranch owner Rod Creger on the 410 CID, RMI ported and thermal coated Edelbrock intake manifold vintage Ford racing engine.

"The engine was so smooth and tractable; I didn't think I was going very fast. When I got back in the pits my friends told me I'd just lapped some two seconds faster than I'd ever gone before. I no longer had to concentrate on the engine; it was just there for me. I could just concentrate on riding. Great job Don!"
Don Mendenhall publisher/editor of Motofly magazine, northern California's premier MX magazine. 1999 RM-250 Suzuki

"Substantial power gains from idle and an extra usable 2500-RPM. We built a new, larger fuel rail to keep pace with the extra air you provided."
Bill Cardell, owner of Flyin Miata, on 1.6 liter RMI ported and thermal coated Miata cylinder head and intake manifold assembly.

"The drop in under hood temperatures alone was worth it. The turbine outlet pipe no longer glows."
Rick's Rotary Performance owner Rick Soderberg on his Mazda RX-7 RMI ported and thermal coated twin turbocharger system.
