Area Shop questions

This may be the wrong place to post this but I have some questions that you guys may be able to answer.
First off I have a 2002 Honda Accord that Garage Kwai has been working on for the past 1 year or so. Good guys to work with especially Chris but he moved
I was just wondering who you guys recomend for performance work on euro cars like M3 or C32 AMG in the area. Garage Kwai isnt too extensive on those just basic bolt-ons (coilovers, exhaust, etc.) no major installs that I know of. I am assuming you guys dont do work on those type of cars.

Also whats your hourly labor rate out of curiosity. I plan on buying an EVO in the next month or so.

thanx in advance,
-Tony

Top setup mostly works one the 4 banger hondas same as King Motorsports, they are not as knowledgeable with the V6 Honda/Acura. One6 turned down another accord doing a similar engine work but mine is a little more complicated. He is using same ecu (6200rpm) just put in an auto 3.2L from an Acura CL Type S. I had to be different and did a complete ECU, 3.2L engine & 6 speed MT from the 3.2 CL Type S. Keep in mind the 1998-2002 Honda Accord never came in a manual for the V6, only for the i4. 2003+ Accord V6 manuals had no LSD. Hopefully I will be completely finished with that swap mid-January.

I'll have to check out Euroquip.
