Small Business Solutions - Bryan Comyns

Alex Fees: I am Alex fees on Small Business Television, we are coming to you from Las Vegas, Nevada at SEMA 2008 at Specialty Equipment Market Association in Las Vegas, Nevada. And joining me here now is Bryan Comyns. Bryan good to meet you, sir. Bryan Comyns:Good to meet you. Alex Fees: He is with Impulse Engineering. Is this your company? Bryan Comyns: I actually have a partner and it's myself, I am one of the guy. Alex Fees: So he is your co-owner. Bryan Comyns: Yes. Alex Fees: This is a -- how would you characterize this a dramatic customizing? Bryan Comyns: Yes, I mean we take all the different aspects of the industry and build into a business. Now, we can do for the customers basically as basic or as radical or extreme as you would like, we take a car and we can do bolt on motor work or we take a car and like a car we have this year at SEMA Nissan 240-SX where we cut the front end off and rebuilt it as a Japanese car. A vehicle's only available in Japan. We got the head lights from Japan, we got a body kit from local manufacturer and when we took that car, way over the top. We cut out all the way possible, we've re-engineered all the petrol arms and made it a full borne race car. Alex Fees: So that's the goal to make it a race car. Bryan Comyns: It's not just that. The other aspect of what we do is, we have some customers that just want a nice street vehicle, a little bit more power, they want the car to look a little nicer. We have some guys that just go to shows, their cars stay in the garage and they come out just to go to a show and to show off the nice shiny pretty parts. Alex Fees: Absolutely. Bryan Comyns: But our core background is race. We do from drifts car to road race cars. We are involved with some of the viper Challenge like stuff and even club sport racing, so it's from one degree to the other. Alex Fees: While I was talking of that before the interview here he said we are the builders, we come to a show like SEMA, take these products and add them to vehicles. Bryan Comyns: Right exactly, we worked with the lot of manufacturers and example is Wilwood Brakes. We are working with Wilwood on doing a brake that's not available yet. Alex Fees: Really. Bryan Comyns: We take the basic kit and we re-engineer some of the bracket and all those kind of things to make a kit that's not available to public. Now Wilwood is going to back it and look at what we've done it and working with the engineers at Wilwood and release a new kit to the public, we do that and we release this year a Garrett Twin Turbo Kit for the Mustang. Garrett basically said, here's the hot side, here's the turbo and the turbo manifold side of the product. We want to do everything else, the fuel, the intercooler piping, all those kind of things to make a complete kit. So that's the other side of our business, I guess. Alex Fees: So Bryan whose idea was this. How does this come about, was it your's or your business partner? Bryan Comyns: No, you know it's kind of funny how it worked out. We, my partner and I we, were building the same cars together but we didn't know each other. So he would be doing the one side of build and then come to me I do the other side and go back to him and do the other side. Alex Fees: Really. Bryan Comyns: And then finally one day we met each other and it was one of those things, like oh! You are that guy. Alex Fees: So you had the same clients but didn't realize. Bryan Comyns: We didn't realize that yes, I mean we were building cars for manufacturers like example this year is Tein Suspension -- we build the car for them, working with them of course to build car for the booth. It was a same kind of things like that where we were just doing different parts of the built. And when we finally came together, we headed off as friends that kind of thing. Alex Fees: Sure. Bryan Comyns: We liked both of our build styles and our design styles and we just went and let's do this ourselves. Alex Fees: But Bryan what you do when you come to a show like SEMA 2008? Bryan Comyns: What we do, we are here this year supporting a couple of vehicles. We've got three vehicles this year. We utilize the different manufacturer's products that kind of display what we can do. But not only that it's a good opportunity for us to see what's here, see what's new, see what's fresh, see what we can utilize for the upcoming season. So we also take the opportunity to get up, close and personal with some of the manufacturers that, honestly you wouldn't be able to talk to the guy over the phone. You leave thirty messages. Well, here, he is right here let's talk to. Let's hammer some thing out. Let's figure out some thing like a race budget for next year all those kind of things. Alex Fees: Yes Bryan. I got see your logo is all over your T-Shirt and your cap. Bryan Comyns: Yes, we plan it all over the place. Alex Fees: What about our sbtv.com viewers where can they go to get more information about Impulse Engineering? Bryan Comyns: You can actually give us a call. We are actually revamping our website for a full e-commerce and to show lot of what we do. It's ImpulseCars.com. Alex Fees:ImpulseCars.com. Bryan Comyns: Correct.
