any sr20det peops in michigan? i'll be moving back to michigan soon from n.c. and am afraid theres no tuner shops there, anyone know of anywhere in michigan they would let a mechanic touch their sr20?

dude, there are a few of us! Not many shops that I trust, but Cody does fabrication www.lovefab.com and Payne does dyno runs and tuning. Other than that, not to sure. I guess there are a couple shops in Grand Rapids that are OK, but they take their sweet ass time. Just call me man, we will get you figured out.

When an install or job is beyond my limited skill level, I take my B13 to Trackside Custom Works in South Haven, MI. Actually, their shop is in the Gingerman Raceway complex (www.gingermanraceway.com). Their phone # is 269-639-7823, and I usually deal with Shannon. Dude knows his racecars and he lets you hang out/help while he is working on your car, so you know exactly what is happening. To make life easier, I always bring him parts and he does the installs. He charges $50/hr for labor and there have been a few times his rough estimates have been higher than what he charged. Only problem is that they don't have the means to run credit cards. He is one of the few people I trust with my car. Let me know if anybody wants more info.

EDIT: I wanted to note that I said his "rough estimate" because I'm constantly brings non-OEM parts for him to put on, like the maxima rear brakes, so he can't be positive what he'll run into with those.

Dude, you could have done those rear brakes man! Alright, I need to get home! You all need some simple guidance, most anything on the B13 is pretty simple compared to most cars so you just need tips really. I have met Shannon a few times, good doood! I have spent a lot of time at Gingerman actually and I have an inside to get on Gratton now to. can't wait to be home.

Detroit Metro sr20det here. All work done by me.

Brent, Grattan is great. Your car will love the looong straight.

So I hear, girl I deployed with here grew up with the Owner's daughters. My friend figures she can get me some free practice time out there on off nights. I can't wait. I may also be able to set something up track day wise if interest is there.

Maybe one day i will be, i have it all and no time to do it. :( maybe one day i can get it done.

Yeah, I probably could have done the rear brakes my self (actually, I pulled them off to get at the strut bolts when I put the Koni's in), but I have no experience doing work on cars and I didn't want to take a risk. But they showed me how to do it so I can do it from now on. What's Gratton and where is it?

Gratton is northeast of Grand Rapids, road course. Great track! MI is very lucky to have all the facilities it has.

Brent

Yup, I want to hit Waterford Hills for the first track day with the turbo. Cheapest tow back... ;)

Hummm... another set of Rota's for the snow tires or this... Damn, I hate tough calls!

If they still have it, I'd call and offer them $250 or something.

....I wish I had the space.... I would..

I saw it the first time it was posted.

I was going to let them sit on it for a while before calling.

I'm mean like that.

The only problem is they seem stupid enough to let it sit without a window... after all, it's $50!

Lack of know how? Lack of tools? Laziness? Maybe the thought of putting money into something they are trying to sell doesn't sit well?

Could be all those things and more, who knows! Looks like a decent pick up, but I am not in MI right now and I have 4 cars to stow away now as it is.

Brent

Called today and it has been sold.
