I was wondering if one of you could provide me with the phone numbers of some good shops in the chicago area to swap in a B16A into my 90 integra. I would do it myself but I've been working too many hours to have time.BTW if any members wanna make some money and do it for me and you live close to me let me know. I live in dupage county.

i live out in schaumburg...me and my friend would do it. we have done a couple of swaps it's no problem. let me know

BROOD

stay away from APG

Kawi
Driver's Image (donno if they do swaps though)

hatchmobile

why would you stay away from garage kwai...they do some good work, but you pay for it. you got the apg part right...complete hack jobs from what i've seen

Gong Show

agree with the APG,
but kwai are my peeps, good work but the prices can hurt sometimes... I wouldnt give them though

But come on, two for the fashion **** of chicago import shops? give me a FCKN break... Yeah two for a shop that couldnt get the drag cars to produce good numbers cause they either kept breaking axles or not running at all.
yeah, they win my support... coming from a shop that use to hate on skunk2 products, but now there selling there products and acting like they've been fans of skunk2's products forever.... why, you cool

Hey Hatchmobile I sent you a IM gimme a call when you get a chance anyone else who is interested in possibly doing this swap for me lemme know. In case you did'nt notice on my other post I live in Dupage county.

Call Evolution Performance in Arlington Heights. (847)228-6888. They got lotsa work to do and might be backed up for some time but it cant hurt. Ask for Jerry and tell him Andrew sent you. Good prices, great work

BROOD

APG - because they misquoted information and don't know Hondas from "holes in the ground"
Garage Kawi - because I've had some firends get burn there before. true it wasn't my deal so maybe a thumbs down was not fair.
Driver's Image - because I have not had any problem with them yet.

Opinions is what I suppied, so sorry to rant on your "peeps". Besides I buy parts and not service from local stops. I do not let anyone turn tools on my car, no one. Just realize that those are my opinions, that is all.

Not trying to really flame you, but Drivers Image(hehehe)
Everyone knows them as the Cosmetic parts store(if your really into performance)...
And how did your friends get burned? just curious... Im pretty sure it was something to do with prices.
But its all good bro, no beef from this side of the tracks.

BROOD

No prob, I didn't think you meant it as a flame towards me.

The Kawi thing, yea it was a money issue and a bad engine deal.

what do you expect good work usually costs more money...that's typical. kwai is a good shop definately better than driver's image for just about everything...except for cosmetic stuff.

Suprdave

APG are a buncha morons...

Driver Image is only for Car-Show ****...

Garage Kwai...go there I guess, I've talked with Benson and he seems like a nice guy. They are pricey, hence the reason I did my own swap...expect to spend some $$$. They had some cars run some #s though, and they don't seem to be all about show.

Give me your ls motor and I'll do it fo you, but I agree would dave on doing yourself that way no one would be able to ripp you off. IMO

hatchmobile

Gong Show
