Subaruspecialists.

Mico Motorsports is a Subaru specialist in Tampa, Florida, built around the work of Diego Rodriguez.

The builder

DiegoRodriguez

Diego has been in the Subaru scene for more than a decade. He can build an entire engine, from empty case halves to a full engine bay, and he taught himself to weld when the brackets he needed didn’t exist.

That combination is the shop: an engine builder who can also make the parts around the engine, and who works directly with every customer. Many of them found Mico Motorsports the way Marcus did, through the Tampa Subaru community.

Approach

How we build

  1. Diagnose before deciding

    Parts lists come after inspection, not before. What an engine needs depends on what it shows us.

  2. Build it as a system

    Turbo, fuel, engine and tune are specified together, so the car works as one machine instead of a collection of upgrades.

  3. Details are the job

    Routing, brackets, heat management and fitment are where a build is won or lost, and where we spend the time.

  4. Straight answers

    You talk to the people doing the work. If we’d do something differently, we say so, even when it means spending less.
