I don't know if this is the right place but admin can you please move this thread if it's not in the right place. Thanks!

So like the title says, I'll be moving back to Hawaii in about two months after living in California for 12 years. I was wondering what shop do you guys recommend or use in Oahu and what shipping company did you guys use to ship the car out there?

Thanks!🤙

I know two guys who used Pasha to ship vehicles back and forth and both had good things to say about the company. I want to say they paid between 1K-1.5k per vehicle but don't quote me on that.

I used Pasha to ship my cars 2 years ago. Cost me roughly $1200 per car. I would recommend them again.

As far as shops in Hawaii, I am not sure who specializes in Evos. You could try the 808 Evo facebook page. They could probably recommend one to you.

Yeah don't know of any shops sorry I just remember shipping rates were outrageous for parts. Maybe check for shops on Maui.

Ok maybe I'm using Hawaii in a general term. Moving to Oahu. I'll be in Mililani, thanks for all the replies

Tracking, I know milliani well was just saying maybe for ordering parts it might be cheaper to find a supplier on a neighboring island. Sorry for the confusion.

In terms of recommending shops... for modding work? Yourself... There is no one on island that I'd use for work. Most of my buddies just order a built block from Buschur, MAP, etc... and install it themselves and remote e-tune at RAD's dyno. E-85 is about $90 for 5 gallons and the 92 oct all there is... I ran 50/50% 92/116 oct gas for "street runs." Enjoy the Hawaii traffic lol jk

$90 for five gallons of E-85? Holy ****. At least you can finally get it on island but still.

I remember when RAD's first installed that dyno. I was one of the first Evos to ever use it. They failed and ran a strap under my dump (which was quickly burned through) and my car almost jumped off. Good times.

Is that Renegade's E-85 from Ron's Performance? It really is a rip off but then again shipping race fuels to Hawaii is expensive. Cost of living in paradise...

Hawaii = nice life decision. Hawaii = bad race car decision.


I'm jealous and would love to live there, if not for being into cars/racing/etc. But when I retire from driving.... naw. Never happen. Okay, so if I become disabled and CAN'T drive... then I'd love to move there.

I'll move back to Oahu when they put a new track (and not just the promise of one like KRP was).

That and if/when I can make enough money to actually live there.

Congrats on moving back to Hawaii! I eventually want to move there with my wife. We both fell in love with the place when we went for our honey moon.

mydnyte93

Thanks. My wife and I are originally from there. My wife has been wanting to move back for a while and I finally gave in and applied for jobs when we went to visit my inlaws. Happy wife happy life, right? Jk

So since my car is stock I'm just looking for a place to bring it for maintenance type thing. I would love to mod but I got a 4.5 year old and a 1 year old.
And my other option is to sell the car. And I've already got it listed.

I've said it before, but don't use intercontinental group or arpin international group for your move. I shipped my Evo cross country with them and it was a horrible experience. GL with your move, there is a community there from what I've read so I'm sure there are a few reliable shops.
