Last Saturday, I visited a modern workshop called Automotive Performance Development (APD) located along Jalan Perintis U1 in Glenmarie Shah Alam. To get there from Subang Jaya, you drive along the Subang Jaya-Glenmarie connecting road and turn right at the traffic light, proceed further until you see the DRB Hicom building on the left. On the right are a number of new buildings and shophouses. ADB is somewhere there. You may have to make U-turn at the traffic light in order to get to there. The workshop is equipped with dynamometer testing facilities, and has even a performance department for enthusiasts who want to soup up their cars.
An executive there (Wan Danial) claimed that quite a number of 350Z have been upgraded since the workshop was set up in May this year. In fact, he's now testing a 350Z fitted with a turbocharger and invited me to come to his workshop on the coming Teusday to see the car. I spent about an hour inspecting the facilities available and had a pleasant conversation with his father in the cafeteria. APD is apparently run as a family business.
