^He was at the auto hobby shop a month or two back putting on his exhaust with his boys and they were staring at me and my car like I wa an alien of some sort. I know him from when he comes into my work once and a while for the computers.

Most of the car guys I have met on base are cool with the exception of the Honda Elitist group.

yeah, definitely. so, i have a few questions now that i guess im kinda gettin to know you guys a little bit. my car is kinda gonna be a daily driver, but i plan on getting some thing done to it. do we have anywhere around here that does good work? also, my car has to stay outside all the time because i dont have a garage. i really want to get a car cover or sometihng for it. do you think it being outside will have any effect on it, and maybe any advice?

Well if you want the best in oil get Synthetic Amsoil or Royal Purple at Bumper to Bumper out the front gate next to Rt. 12. I would suggest the rugged car cover meant for the most inclimate weather. I personally dont know of any Evo tuner shops but i have been told about Subie Mods and Swift Motorsports in Norwich however I dont know the reputation of either. The only thing I would check is the underbody condition of the car to see if you have any rust damage and get it taken care of. everything else I would do is tires and brakes and other maintenance to get it ready for the winter.

Hope this helps.

+1. i saw you today coming down 12. i was in the blue suv. you had a crowd in your car. anyhow, a good car cover will do great for the winters if you dont have a garage. im good friends with the owners of subiemods. you can definitely go there for your car needs. swift had gotten a horrible reputation previously. however, they were bought out and are under new management. i know the new owners and they are cool people too. my boats making us work tomorrow so if you are gonna be in the area, give me a buzz. i pm'ed you my cell. lata

what kind on work are you planning on doing that you need a shop to do it for you?? If your not rebuilding the motor, its easy to do the work yourself. plus if you really needed to their is always the auto hobbie shop. if you need help with somthing then let us know.
