Performance Mechanical and Engineering

News and General

Performance Mechanical and Engineering in Taupo has a well-stocked 4WD accessory store, backed by an extensive workshop and service capability for installations and repairs. Suspension can be customised due to the ability to weigh axle weights and determine exactly what is required.

Performance Mechanical in Taupo supplies, fits and maintains a wide range of 4WD parts and is an authorised Ironman and Terrain Tamer stockist, in particular the company keeps in stock an extensive range of suspension kits ready to fit.

Owner Klem Christensen has raced 4WDs across Australasia for more than 20 years and built the impressive Medusa LC79 featured in this issue.

There is pretty much nothing he doesn’t know about 4WDs, so he can help 4WDers out with ideas and advice.

On the road, off the beaten track or around the farm, New Zealand now has greater choice in 4WD suspension and accessories. Ironman 4X4 products have been developed and tested in the harshest proving ground in the world – the Australian outback.

The first choice for serious 4WDers for more than 50 years, sold in more than 120 countries, Ironman 4x4 will deliver the comfort and safety drivers demand as well as quality and value for money.
