Welcome. Just curious, where are you working at now? I moved up from Los Angeles just a year and a half ago.

I work for Sony Online Entertainment.

I'm a producer for a game called The Agency.

I worked on EQ2 as well.

You'll find me in the credits on the original game. I was an AP back then.

This is the Agency, look for it on the PC and PS3 (PS3 is what I do).

I personally would make the drive to Lucas for him to do work on my car. Aaron will be your best bet for tuning locally and I wouldnt take my car to any shop here locally only Lucas. Welcome.

I think Armin is on here from time to time you might try messaging him or something. Garrett is on my IM so if it was me I would be harassing him direct.

Which is fine for those who live even an hour further south than us, don't have their car as their only daily driver, or don't have demanding full time jobs that eat up your week and don't allow you to go gallivanting down to deep south washington for basic maintenance/installs .

Something very complex sure.

Sides both him and I live less than 5 mins away from West Werks and I wouldn't knock that shop unless I had tried them personally.

^^ What he said, haha.

Eventually if I ever get some major work done, I'll likely be making the drive south. But for all the bolt ons and such that I don't want to do myself (or don't trust myself to do) I'll likely be going with West Werks and hopefully a tune from JB.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome folks. Nice to meet some other people who appreciate their cars.

There are a lot of bad shops around. There are a lot of shady places in Tac/Lakewood area. Kyle at Axiom is an honest guy though. He will tell you what you do and don't need. He won't oversell at all and be a stingy salesman. I trust him for simple bolt-ons.. but nothing beyond that. That shop knows their way around the Honda world. Some civic put down 507whp on their dynojet the other day..hah good luck with the stock sleeves buddy! <3

Any good tuners closer to Portland's westside?

Does anyone know of a good tuner on Portland's westside? Also, I've seen recommendations for Horsepowerfreaks, but their website seems to show they only sell parts, not installation or tuning services.

If we can be of any assistance in getting started with your EVO's mods don't hesitate to get a hold of me. Welcome to the NW and the community!

I am speaking from personal experience, but i wouldnt let kyle or Axiom touch my car. Once again this is my personal opinion.

Welcome to the great north west and congrats on your purchase. Great shops would be, English Racing, World one performace, and of course ETS, thats the ones i think of off the top of the nogin. Lucas i hear is a great tuner, aslo i hear John bradly is great. Just start talking to some guys here and they can tell you everything you need to know. If your looking for a club, NWE (NorthWest Evos) is going to be great! there is a thread up if you wanna look at it and such.

Goodluck
