I wouldn't mind lending a hand too as I would like to see how one of these goes together. I have a bunch of tools I could bring.

I'll lend a hand. Hell, I might know about installs and stuff, but I'll lend a helping hand with muscle or whatever. Plus, good learning experience for me too.

ANYWAYS back on track

Taking just the opinions noted here, so far:

GOOD:
Phase 2 Motortrend
Garageworks

BAD:
Cartune

...anyone have any input on LS Automotive? I also noticed in some FOB-ish magazine (like Recycler, but FOB) a lot of local places in BP and Industry are starting to advert. SR20DET swap service... but personally to me they seem like those "hell let's also say we can do it so we can learn how to do it" shops...

Good: Sixautoworks(local shop in Alhambra)
http://www.sixautoworks.com/catalog/contact_us.php

LS Auto is good, but seem to take their precious time with the swap.

I would also recommend Blast Racing/MotoRex...they are in basically the same garage and work together. Also Naoto is the man. Very cool guy. Awesome mechanic. No bull**** whatsoever. He is currently working on my friend's IS300...Also Wakita-san is a badass too. Anyway I recommend Blast Racing/MotoRex. The price might be a little higher than Garage works or whatever but the quality is awesome, not to say that Garage works isnt.

O so that IS300 is your friends man he is doing lots of work to that but it is nice and does that car ever leave beacause it looks like that car never leaves every time I go over its there I am not saying thats bad or nothing just woundering
