I wanted to touch base and compile a few things so the rest of the FFR 818 community knows what we're about and what we have to offer.

Six Star Cars is a business collaboration between myself (Keith Pizio) and Todd Briley. We have both been car nuts since before we could drive. While his background was primarily in domestics he has been doing nothing but Subaru since 2010. I was a VW guy who moved onto Honda's and then Subaru in 2005 when I helped start Scott's Auto Recycler's of Greeley. In late 2009 I was offered the chance to purchase the business. I dropped VW, picked up Saturn and changed the name to Go Green Automotive. In the 4 years since I took over the business has changed a little, less focus on used parts sales and more on building cars for sale, maintenance of road cars and building class winning race cars. We have reconditioned and re-sold over 80 cars since we started. We also build, store, and maintain a small fleet of cars for SCCA Solo, RallyCross, NASA, LeMons, CHUMP and 1/4 mile drag racing.

Todd and I met racing SCCA Solo AutoCross in '10, found out we both were into Subarus and the rest is history. We currently co-drive the #67-167 Colorado RallyCross car, this will be our 3rd season. I barely managed a win over Todd in '13 to take the SA title with him finishing second.

I primarily race a 2004 WRX sedan in E Street Prepared. Last season was my first full season in the class, I finished 1st in class, and 8th overall in the Rocky Mountain Region.

Todd's weapon of choice has been a Solstice GXP that he races in B Stock. Last season he won the class and finished 12th overall in the region.

Our racing has helped us attain a vast pool of retailers, tuners, fabricators, parts suppliers and other racers from which to gather assistance and experience from. We are a full line dealer for Kartboy, GrimmSpeed, BU Drive Turbos, and Enkei and we have access to anything you can think of and some things you can't through our vendors and partners.

Six Star Cars has a plan to build and maintain the fastest, safest and most reliable 818 kit cars in Colorado. We're currently in the process of building an R for competition in NASA and Solo that we will co-drive. We're also building an S as a showcase of what we can do without following a specific rule set. It's fun to just go nuts with a project, but building a fast car to a very detailed set of rules presents it's own challenges and being able to do both will be a great balance of our talents.

Both Go Green Automotive and Six Star Cars are located in the SE corner of Greeley, Colorado in the same location since 2005. We're not two guys in a garage or a storage unit somewhere. This is a real brick and mortar (literally) business that you can come by and check out whenever you want, from 9-5 M-F of course.

What we offer: we're a full service and parts facility able to help with anything needed in the building process. From hubs to LSD installs, motor builds, chassis modification, parts fabrication we can do it all or gather the parts and materials for you to do it yourself. A quick list of the parts/services we will be offering; rebuilt front hubs with new bearings and extended wheel studs, new rebuilt turbos, exhaust systems for the 818 in almost any configuration you can think of, chassis reinforcement, blasting, cleaning and powder coating services, wheel and tire packages, shock dyno and tuning services, rear wing mounts (for the R), a rear mount intercooler setup, coolant catch cans, engine building, engine tuning, maintenance, etc. the list goes on and on and on. Keep in mind too that we're not churning out junk and letting you test it, everything we will offer for sale we will be running on our own cars and putting them through the brutal testing crucible of motorsport.

If you have any questions or comments please let myself or Todd know, and if there's anything we can do for you don't hesitate to ask. The best way to contact either of us is via e-mail Todd (at) or Keith (at) sixstarcars.com

Thank you and we look forward to meeting you and helping in any way we can!

Just wanted to update this and let everyone know the new web sites are now live!!

http://www.sixstarcars.com/

http://www.sixstartuning.com/

We have a pretty large addition to our shop in the form of a Dyno Dynamics AWD dynamometer.

On top of allowing us to do baseline pulls before and after on the 818 builds we can also test all the parts we're making for the 818. From our RMIC kits to exhaust offerings and everything in between you can be assured that it has been tested thoroughly using our own cars before ever being shipped out. We can also break in all of our engines for the 818 kits with the DD which really increases the power and longevity of the engines.

We also have access to licensed tuners for Hondata, AEM Infinity, Cobb, and open source tuning solutions. We have already flashed a few ECUs for 818 guys to eliminate the P codes associated with fuel system components that are no longer used on the kits. Afterall, no one wants a CEL constantly lit up on their brand new car!

Don't hesitate to call or email with any questions. And if you're local swing on by and see the shop!

Thanks, Keith
