they're all crooks, you have a better chance of getting a well-built motor doing it yourself for the first time than paying any shop in VA to do it for you

ha ha, bad experiences guys? if you must have a shop do your stuff, the two main ones are Inline Pro and CDE Motorsports. **** NU Image, Vertex, etc. I had my motor swap done by Inline and plan to have my motor rebuilt by them as well. Check out their websites:

actually, i have had some custom exhaust work done by CDE, and they did good work for me - but definately not for cheap.

i wouldn't let inline/nu image or any other shop touch my car with a 10ft pole. The problem is these shops have NO credibility - in the case of inline, NO inegrity. Sure some people have good experiences, but good experiences are not the rule for any shop.

inline looks out for their own folks & not so much others, I have seen some people taken to the cleaners with bad work done....

You should really let Steve (known as SGT on this board) do your motor for you. Very trustworthy and does a REALLY good job too. Email him at:
steve@sgt-racing.com . I have seen people come all the way from Ohio just to have him tune and work on their cars

Wallace Honda-Acura in Richmond is a decent shop, but I don't know if they do rebuilding jobs.
