Not sure if this belongs here. I thought the Tampa Florida area people would benefit from this if they dont already know about Engine Lab of Tampa. Big up to Engine Lab of Tampa. Chris (InsaneCivicSedan on Tampa Racing) and I dropped my head off on Friday (09/10/04) to have it resurfaced and it was done Monday (09/13/04) morning. I just got home from picking it up tonight (work and drive). John (employee) and Susan (owner) were very nice. Like always Dave (owner) took time out of his day to talk to us for a while I'm going togo back for a five angled valve job soon. I will get pictures of the head (before and after) up after dinner.

 

 

looks nice from what i can tell

 

Do you ever go to the TR Events? BTW I have a pic I took of his car I took at an event.

Been to the last three or four track days His car has a different setup as of last Friday

 

I didnt get to the last one (make up one). But iv been to that 2-3 before that. So they do reputable machining? I have a spare ls block with eagle rods that needs to be machined.

 

whats up alpha, head looks real nice, engine lab did some work of mine too, for my lsvtec, im putting together a big lsvtec turbo set up, not too many TR guys know about it but they will soon.........

you gonna be at the event on the 26th??

im running a 2stage setup on the hatch now, hoping for high 10s

 

Their machine work is great. The employees who do all the machine work have worked there for years now.

Thanks! I think it looks good as well. Allot better than it did when it went in. Cant stay away from the turbo for long can you Cant wait to see if you can break into the 10's with your hatch. I was trying to get this finished for the 26th race but oh well I will wait until the next race. I will be spectating though. You will have to keep me updated with your LS/VTEC project. I have another motor that about three people know about On hold until this motor is done due to bills, car payment and two project motors killing me, heh. Again, thanks!
