2025/12/01 - New D-WEST Shop!

Today we have a big annoucement, so please check!

After a long time searching for a shop/warehouse to store and work on our projects we finally found the perfect spot. This 150m² warehouse is exactly what we needed, located in the outskirts of Leiria, it’s a renovated old building equipped with a new roof, LED lights and a fully functioning bathroom.

We already have a few ideas for the space but everything will come when it needs to come.

Please enjoy this introduction video of our new shop!

We're excited for this new step and for what’s coming next.

2025/10/01 - Powerflex for DWST-001

Full Powerflex Black Series bushings and camber arms for DWST-001.

We decided to go with the black ones for better looking, colorfull subrame is a big no. Also, first time running adjustable arms, hope we can fix rear grip now with less camber. R33 wheels are just too big for this chassi, fender to lip, suspension is working on bumpstops and camber is too negative! We need more grip! But never compromise looks!

More updates soon!

2025/08/30 - DWST-001 Update

While DWST-001 is currently off the road since the last events, we decided it was time to upgrade a few things on it.

First step is to pull the rear subframe out and re-do the whole thing. The car was already running IRP subframe bushings and a reinforced chassis, but everything else was untouched and very dirty. The trailing arm bushings were also completly blown, so this became the perfect opportunity to go through the whole rear setup properly.

Every suspension piece and the subframe itself will be powder-coated, all the hardware zinc-plated and we’re also adding new poly bushings, adjustable camber arms, fresh hubs, and a full brake system overhaul. Rear end will be like new!

Unfortunately, we never had the chance to do a proper machine check and explain the purpose of this car but that moment will come soon after all this.

We don't have a personal garage to work on, so we wont share much of the process as we’d like. Maybe soon we have our own shop so we can make videos working on cars and developing new parts. For now, we will keep updating the blog.

See you soon, DWST-001 is coming back stronger!

2025/04/05 - You can't take my machine, this killing machine.

Portuguese police is very strick on modified cars, they don't like our style!

Wrong time, wrong place, it can happen to anyone.

Unfortunately, it ain't easy with the law.

But we stay strong. We don’t stop. Dreams don’t wait for permission.

This is a step back for us but nothing takes us off the streets, we wil come better and stronger.

You can't take my machine, this killing machine.

2025/03/15 - MSL Private Practice 2025/02/09

We took DWST-001 out to MSL for a private session. Few practice runs, only took two used tires. It was good to feel for the car and focus on agressive entry and throtle technique.

Can't wait to go back! Thank you to MSL and friends.

Enjoy this video!
