Yeah his driveway with a helms manual. Swapping a motor isn't exactly rocket science, help him do it and you'll gain knowledge and he'll save money. Only way to go IMO.

I'll do it cheaper than any shop Guaranteed.

Done over 25 B series swaps, EGs, EFs stuff, H22A accord stuff, you name it.

Hit me up in email and we'll talk.

Thanks
Jeff

I won't buy parts, but I'll help you find stuff. Depends on what type of swap it is . .

I like how u pat each other's backs and all, but I've been out here since the beginning and have never heard of u guys, and if u truly are reputable and been taking care of all these cars and people, u should know me.. I'd rather take my car to a reputable shop, with receipts and insurance, then some guy's garage based on message board posters..

Don't get me wrong, I do my own ****, my friends' ****.. But the guy asked about reputable shops, so I'm replying to that and not recommending the local DIYer avenue..

Hrmmm . . .

Never had a car come back . . . not even once.

Pull motors so fast they are still hot when I dump them in my back yard . . . .

Lost count at around 35 swaps . . . .

Oh yeah, did I mention I've never had a car come back . . .

He'll take his car where ever he wants, doesn't matter to me. I'm in for the enjoyment, not doing it to put food on my table. I was just offering a service that won't leave him un-satisified.

And, no - I've never heard about you, or your buddies shop . . . .

No, now that I think about a few more seconds, I do know you. And you know me.

In fact I've met you. You drove sown to San Jose to buy a few parts off of me. Think Taco Bell . . .

How is that salvaged Type R you were rebuilding, anyways . . . ??

This will refresh your memory . . .
