Hey guys, I just picked up a IX GG SE from San Diego. It's my first turbo car and I'm new to the area as well. Just moved from San Diego.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and see if there are any good local shops for our Evos. Also, when it comes to audio/alarm work and such if anyone has any good suggestions for pricing and work.

Do we have any local tuners out here? I wouldn't mind having someone be able to talk to for advice on what I should be doing with the car.

Right now I'm just trying to learn everything I can about it, and having some local contacts would definitely be useful.

Thanks guys.

 

Hey welcome to the area and congrats on the Evo

 

check out worldone they are one of the best

 

Lucas English at English Racing down near Vancouver is the only person you should talk to. 'Nuff said!\

Just click on his link in my sig below.

 

I'm going to look into English Racing, but I was hoping to find something a little more local for the simple stuff. I'm not terribly mechanically inclined and for simple installations that might need a tune I'd like to not have to drive ~4 hours.

Also, there aren't really any dealerships near me, so for simple fluid changes and such I'd like to find someone who would use the right fluids (and actually know which fluids to use!).

First few things I'll likely do are cone air intake, exhaust, and MBC so I'd like someone somewhat close to be able to tune me up after the change.

 

worldone is a lil closer to ya ,kent, dont know of anything in seattle

 

WORLD ONE for parts and install..

English racing for built or rebuilt and Tuner (lucas english owner and tuner)

MIDGETSPEC Tuner as John Bradley on Evom here and real name is Aaron

FTW!

 

Welcome to the great NW and get used to hearing English Racing and ExtremeTurboSystems a lot. Stay away from axiom and you'll be ok. Oh yeah and were home to the 1014 whp evo

 

oh yeah i forget ETS micheal and tom! FTW FTW!

also Horsepower freak and RREV in portland they are awesome too

 

STAY AWAY..

ILLTECH (WROST VOTED SHOP) shabby, lies to customer, destory and poor craftsman skills...
AXIOM.. it ok buy parts.. but install or service by Axiom NO NO! bad bad!
INTEC racing for HONDA fan world.. blahhh

Pina motorsport i have no words.. i know alot people dont like andres and shop.. so i have no ideas..

FASTLANE.. STAY AWAY! rip off!!! high price markets and RICERS!!!!! **** stay away..

SPEEDLINE Gayness shop and home for RICERS...

 

As per PM. West Werks is the place in the redmond/seattle/bellevue area to go to. Full Stop. The End. Look at the people on here in this area who use them exclusively. They all know their cars, their parts and only go to them. Nuff said. Installs/maintenance etc. they are the place. English Racing if you don't mind the drive.

For parts you can check out World One.

For the Tune, JohnBradley (MidgetSpec) or Lucas should be able to help you out. JB probably does more remote flashing that Lucas (even though I stand to be corrected) so if you can't meet up with Lucas at some point when he comes up north JB is probably your best bet.

 

i recomend pinamotorsport prob one of the best fab welders around. on top of years of great turbo Knowledge.

 

Get a clear bra for the bumper, hood and headlamps if you can. PNW=Rockchips

 

I had a couple bad experiences with World One.. bad prices + they didn't know anything about nitrious when I was trying to get my lines fixed.

But apparently they are getting better.

 

Yeah, I've tried VERY hard to work with World1 to take my money, but everything I've purchased from them has had a problem. From Sway bars, AFR gauges, exhaust, and OMG my brakes I just won't deal with them anymore... I'm gone Wednesday for a track day and if I don't have pads by then I'm going to be screwed.
