Greetings!
GMP Crest Logo
We hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 
 
Yes, 2009 is officially behind us!  We at GMP Performance appreciate your support over the past year, and we look forward to 2010! 
 
This year is an especially significant one for our company, as it celebrates our 35th year in the European aftermarket industry.  We've got some special things planned to celebrate this throughout the year, so stay tuned to the newsletter and our website for updates!
  
As we reflect on 35 years in the business, we are supremely thankful to have had so many loyal customers, many of whom have been with us for years and repeatedly give us the chance to serve them with each new vehicle.  If you have a story about your GMP experiences over the years, please share it with us!  We would like to compile these and post them on our site!
THAWOUT is on for 2010!!!
 
We would like to invite everyone who can make it out to our shop for THAWOUT, which will be held sometime in late April, or early May.  This is our Spring open-house event, and will consist of a car show and get together on Saturday, followed by a track day on Sunday.  There is no admission charge for Saturday's events, and all ages are welcome.  Feel free to bring your friends and family to see European cars of all types, along with the latest aftermarket products from our vendors! 
  
 
If you would like to get involved in this event, either as a volunteer or vendor, email Stephen@GMPperformance.com.
 
 
Project 35
To commemorate our 35th year in business, we are preparing a very special car for use on the track this year.  Called Project 35, this vehicle will mark a return to our roots in competitive road-racing, and will be campaigned in NASA's German Touring Series (GTS) class.  The final product will be unveiled at ThawOut 2010, and will serve as a showcase for our top-tier suppliers of aftermarket and racing parts.  We will be posting more details and pictures on the forums soon!          
Mobile APR ECU Chipping 
GMP now has a solution for clients who want APR software for their Audi, VW, or Porsche, but are unable to make it to our facility during business hours.  To faciliate Mobile ECU Chipping, we've prepared a laptop computer with all the programs you need to complete the process in the convenience of your own garage.  This is shipped directly to your home with all the necessary cables, and we include complete instructions with photos to make it as easy as possible!  More...

Service Spotlight- Cooling System Maintenance
An effective cooling system is absolutely vital to your engine's health, especially during the harsh Winter season.  If left too long, old antifreeze or the wrong mixture in the system can cause problems that often lead to costly repairs, and may even strand you on the side of the road or in the driveway.  Flushing the system with fresh fluid of the correct type is a simple yet important step in preventative maintenance.  Local clients can find more info on this service here.
