What's up Michiganders or people from the UP calls us who live below the Mackinac Bridge the 'Trolls' lol
I wanted to start a thread that's MOSTLY informative, any type of comments are welcome too but let's try to maintain the theme here as much as possible. Also, I'm aware that there are no businesses specific catered to the 240sx here - if there's one, that's one badass rich loco for sure.
Perhaps down the road, we can add a simple review or rating feature to part of the description as well. Well see. See topics below:
Topics:
1. Michigan based Tuners and Shops if you know any
2. Store people go to source major/miscellaneous parts
3. Fabricators and "one off" shops
Information should include
Name of the business or person
General location or address
Specialties if known (jobs, vehicle type, etc..)
What you would go there for - i.e. AN fittings, exhaust wrap, engine components, Chassis components, and many more
General Comments
I will start by sharing what I know or used in the past:
S&G Imported Parts
Farmington - 8 mile road & Farmington Road
Import cars, somewhat German(?) parts
Last minute stuff that broke, or somethings that are relatively hard to find on your own
They don't stock too many inventories, prices are on the high side not too bad, open to price negotiations actually. I have been there for many components such as Z32 rear brake hardware (pins, o-rings, etc..) to NGK spark plugs, and some tools.
Murray's Parts City
707 N Pointiac Trail, Walled Lake
Pretty much same as any other Oreilly stores, except they order some odd parts
I go there for Red line products - PS fluid, Trans, etc..
Nice store, it's still called the Murray's as they didn't take the merger deal, independent, and they are open to order some stuff for you if the QTY is larger
Monkey Wrench Racing
Commerce Township
Toyota's mainly
I'm thinking about going there for Power FC, it's local, but not sure of the quality at this point, do they have a Dyno?
My buddy used to work there, and I know that they do some tuning using the PFC so thinking about checking them out this year
Angry Sheep Motorsports - Chris Childs
Not entirely sure where, I'm sure you can look it up online
Spec Miatas
Roll cage
This is the guy i was gonna go for my roll cage, but ended up doing it myself and our friends
That's all I can think of at the moment, I'm sure there's more but I'm at work so maybe I will add/edit when I have more time. Help me make this thread a useful one on Zilvia!
Cheers,
