Local import performance shop

[transient]

Ok, I went down to this local import performance shop, and I was talkin to the guys there about wheels. I said I wanted 16x8's and the guy immediately said 17's were going to handle better. I can believe that, so I took his pov, but he kept pointing me towards thinner wheels mostly 7's. This is where I started to get skeptical. At any rate, by the time I left, he had told me (among other things) that springs have nothing to do with dampening, and that he knows a guy with a 300HP N/A ka24e still running fuel injection, AND that he later put a turbo on the car. WHAT BULL! So anyway, I decided that I am NOT going to have them do the rebuild on my engine, lol. I am going to see what they can do pricewise for some headers, an exhaust and some rims though.

There's a place in portland that i'm going to check out sometime soon though. Hopefully i'll have better luck there.

sounds like the guy at the 'american sportscar' performance shop. he said he had a 3 liter KA turbo. this is why me and my friend plan on opening our own shop. we're not experts, but nothing a little wyoming technical institute can't help. come back to st louis, and open up a shop that makes cars 'fast', no clear lenses, no gigantic wings. our goal is to have make money off performance parts mostly.

(my eyes don't see certain shades of color very well, and the computer makes it worse....)

It's black. Almost exactly the same as yours. Actually, before I got it last march I was showing everyone your car to show em what it would look like <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
