*** VRP is Expanding ***

New VRP Houston Location

Just wanted to share the exciting news with everyone...

VRP will now have a presence in Houston, Texas.

VRP Houston will be run by Sunil whom alot of you already know. Sunil brings a wealth of information and experience to the VRP team and he will be a great asset to have on board. All of our Texas customers will be in good hands!!!

He is building a beautiful shop and once it is closer to being complete, there will be a big grand opening party! It's looking to be fully operational by the end of January.

Sunil: I just want to personally welcome you to the VRP family and I am very excited to be working with you!

Here are a few pics of the new shop under construction.. We will post some more pics as the build progresses..








New Appointments

Director of R&D

Vadim will be the Director of R&D for VRP.. In addition to his duties of managing the California location he will be heading up the R&D department for VRP and will be helping me in identifying and creating all the new products that VRP will be bringing to market.


Director of Operations

Mike Ng, a longtime friend and someone with 16yrs of experience in the automotive tuning and aftermarket business will be taking the position of Director of Operations. He has been involved with VRP even before it was known as VRP.. He was instrumental in helping me from the very beginning with everything from AMG parts ordering, tuning, and just providing general contacts in the business.

He was my right hand man from the beginning and has helped me get VRP to where it is today. He will continue to be my right hand man and will help me to grow and expand the business further.

There are alot more exciting things happening, and as soon as I solidify them, I will post the information.


Thanks to EVERYONE who has supported me along the way. You will never be forgotten.

Congratulations and good luck . I am happy to see a competent tuner setting up shop in Texas. I would like to go to the Grand Opening in Houston if it during the weekend, and it is OK with you and Sunil.

Maybe it's time to start thinking about stuffing another hundred or so horses in my engine.

Congratulations on the Expansion of VRP!

It's Great to know I have a VRP Tuner on both ends of my yearly road trip from Los Angeles to Louisiana.
I can stop in for parts, a tune, or just to hang out with the VRP Team.
