Topnotch performance (590 9208)

They specialize in motor swapping. They have tons of experience and have done some extreme installs. Check out their shop... they are always working on a motor swap or two.

They are presently working on a full custom civic hatch(H22) and a CRX (b16A)

PrecisionR is "kinda" good, but from what i have heard and seen, they take a long time to get stuff done....and sometimes they install stuff half-assed....my friend got a turbo kit installed on his 99 EJ, and there were a bunch of kinks in his oil lines and other stuff.....just kinda depends on how well they want to work on your ride.....shop around....

I've posted the number... why are you asking me a question that you could just as easy get answers for by just calling the number and asking them yourself?
I don't understand?

top notch is the place to get your swap, good prices, nice people to work with and got some bad *** cars. like ek with b 16b , eg with h22 swap, anything you want they can do. give em a call. ask for val hell hook you up.

If you want it done right go to Precision R. I can vouch for them, some people may say its pricey, but you get want you pay for. Tell them chris with the turbo crx sent you.

I've never done business with Top Notch. I walked in the door and talked to them once and wasn't impressed at all. They were jerks to me so I walked out the door. I went down the street to Precision R and talked to William for an hour. That was the first day I'd ever been there and he talked to me like we were old friends. They did good work on my brother's old car.
