do it at next gear in Milpitas. I met them a couple of weeks ago and they are REALLY cool. The guy that does the swap really knows what he's doing

personally i would go against that.... had a sway bar put in a while back and now my bushings are messed up...

here's the story, came in had then install sway bar in back. it turns out the sway bar is out of spec, they didn't tell me about the problem when they were finished. as of today i have replaced two sets of bushings and one sway bar. (put the oem back on) also they made me wait like two hours just for a half to 1 hour job.

probably never will go there for mods again.
btw...if you saw the sway bar you'd know it would be out of spec.

Sux for you man, i have delt with motorsport dynamics a lot and they are very professional. They can swap SR in 2 days including wiring. Plenty of nice cars come in and out of there including Huberts S14, the red RX7 on the cover of import tuner twice, just to name a few.

that sounds average for an S14 front clip, but not S13

Yep you should be getting an s14 clip for that price... usually s13 clips go for 3200 at most... but that's a blacktop.

I have heard they do good work as well, but their pricing seems outrageous! They wanted $400 to install shox and springs? I ended up doing it myself, bought some cigs and sandwhiches for the homies to help...

I have a 5spd swap...probably going to Evolution Motorsports

yea, S and P is great. Have ur swap done in a week, get clean clips that are leak down, pressure tested etc. Victor is amazing with wiring. Got my swap done there, put over 15k on the motor and it's still running strong. They can do the swap in less than a day but choose to do it over a course of 1 week so it's not all janky and ghetto. If interested, give me a call. They can get redtop clips for less than 3000 with an average of 35k-45k on the engine.

I got an S14 SR from a friend, how much do you think they'll charge for the install in a 90???


thanks again guys for all the help...
