wut kind of swap u plan on doin

 

Word of warning: I had a bad experience with Mike and Tony's. Short version; they forgot to put trans fluid after my swap, it blew up a month later, and they wouldn't own up to it. Took them to court, lost, end of story. Almost. All the wiring they did was bootleg. The didn't use pins to add wires to the ecu harness, they didn't incorporate the new wires into the actual harness [random wires running all over], forgot bolts, bad welds on the exhaust, mounted up the trans with only one bolt [my trans shop added another 2 to it]. Not only that, but they open admitted to me to "testing" my car, AKA, they raced my freshly swapped car against one of their cars. One final thing is, after the swap my car has never actually started right up. I've tried tons of things and my last resort is to dive under the dashboard to see what wires are either missing/cut/etc.

They are hella cheap though, full swap done with all the auto-to-manual parts for under 2 grand.
The engine swap was close to 3 grand sourced from hmotorsonline [go steve]
The second trans [another M2B4] was 1100 shipped [also from steve].
With install on the 2nd trans, I was out another grand on top of all that.

They blamed me for blowing the trans, say that because I learned how to drive stick on it, and because it was a "high performance" swap, i caused it. right.

they told me the had a block gaurd so i drove an hour to hartford to pick it up....they snatched it outta a motor the had on the shop floor with a pair of plyers..The thing was broken in half and twisted to no end....expletive these guys..

 

sounds like a bunch of haters. on the keep it real tip you are going to have people with bad experiences and people with good ones. no one will post a good experience, but that is expected. ct is only so big. get raped, post about it. Do it in the driveway and go scurrying for professional help. take the good from the bad and learn. it is not because I work from the company that I am posting this message, but it is about principle. everyone on the local scene know me. Dave with the Accord wagon. I am approachable ask me and I will give it to you raw, hate it or love it.

 

411 Performance out in Norwich, CT.
We do mostly honda/acura swaps.
I know it's a biased opinion, but I've been doing wiring for years even before I've started working there and there are all kinds of people running around RI/CT/NY w/ my wiring harness conversions.

I can GUARANTEE that no one can beat our swap prices or wiring prices.
