Just post Buschur Racing, its okay.

But lets rule out three hour drives, each way for a timing belt or clutch jobs. Only the most devoted fanbois would go that far.

Realize that you are supporter and have had good results with Buschur, but I was speaking strictly on a "local" level i.e. the Pittsburgh area.

Even though Buschur is not too far of a drive, I don't consider it local per se.

it's been a while since we have had a good meet, but it also cold out.

once it gets warm they should start happening more regularly again.

Yea I'm speaking Buschur of course . Small drive to have the best bless your Evo If mike weren't an option here locally . Just sayin that no mike wouldn't = no Evo for me that's all I'm saying .

Or here's another phenomenon do your own work ie clutch jobs timing belts and such.

Just saying it's not the death of Evo ownership in Pittsburgh

true...especially if cost is an issue as far as getting the work done, and having the additional expense of getting the car out there

This shop debate is kinda ridiculous. I've never dealt with mike, I know how knowledgable he is, and I would certainly let him work on my car if the situation arises.

However, he is not the be all end all of Evo mechanical mastery. I feel like a broken record sometimes with this, but there's a tuning specific garage in Verona that's been open for one season and has seen like a **** ton of hondas, subies, dsms, evos, sr20s, audis, even bimmers.

You don't have a shop with a $100k dyno to sit and look at it. I have no financial ties to j&s and regardless of whether Jason and matt were friends of mine I'd still plug there shop because they do great work at a great price.

As to whether any of you takes your car there I am truly indifferent, it's just frustrating that most of the guys are talking about goin down with the ship (figuratively speaking) if one mechanic from one dealership leaves the scene.
