As many of you have seen, PRL Motorsports, like most other manufacturers, has been affected tremendously by COVID-19. From supply shortages, to staffing shortages, to the rapid influx of orders and inquires; it has been a struggle to keep up with demand in recent months. Now that we are back up and operating at full capacity, we realized that this simply wasn’t enough to keep the community and its needs satisfied, especially if we plan to continue to grow. We’ve been making quite a few significant changes to how we do things at PRL Motorsports and decided to shine some positive light on What’s New in the Shop over the next few weeks.

Honda Civic 10th gen What's New in the Shop? DSCN9353_zpshgqd87x1


Being that most of our products utilize at least one component which is machined in-house, our machine shop is undergoing going some major changes to help speed up production. We’ve added three new employees to our machine team, purchased four new machines and will be running three shifts to keep machines running nonstop.

But what good are machines without raw materials to put in them? We took care of this too. Our Purchasing Department has materials on order and delivering regularly to accommodate for a 6+ month projection in an effort to keep ALL PRL products in stock.

We can’t thank everyone enough for their continued support and patience. Feel free to drop us any question or comments and let us know what type of things you’d like to see on future updates around the shop.

Man, that looks like our machine shop, except we build medical devices the size of a Tylenol capsule!

Dayummm that's 3hrs from me. I was hoping it was closer to Northern VA :cry:
Look at it this way, you are probably still closer than the majority of forum members. A bit long for a daily commute though.

Awesome, it's always interesting to hear everyone's backgrounds and professions. I bet that's a tedious job!

Dope! DMU 50s are very nice machines. Used to work in aerospace manufacturing, so I've played with those before!
Nice! We love the DMU, it's a pretty badass machine.

Come on out! We're always looking to expand our team. Feel free to stop by if you're ever in the area.

i wonder if PRL would ever be interested in selling parts with the raw, straight-off-the-mill look. i kinda dig it.

We would love to, we have in the past. The problem with raw machined stuff, though, is oxidation over time on aluminum parts that aren't anodized. For this reason we anodize most of our products to keep the finish looking good for years to come.
