That engine looks fantastic in that engine bay.
When I lived in MN I had a neighbor with a 87 Conquest that had a 383 Stroker in it. It sounded scary.

Raptor, Yes I'm on JNC. Cool that you have seen my gory build thread, heheh.
So far no problems with the water outlet on the front of the block.

Also thanks for the info on the local shops guys. I will heed your recommendations and look in to all these places!

Guess I have not done this yet, I am Rod, from Salem, OR (The other Pacific NW State) and I am over 21. (actually just about over 49)

I work for the State as an IT Project Manager, and I use MS Office. ;-)

Picked up a 2010 Ralliart Sportback, and just had a nice drive to the coast, love the way it drives.

^IT PM for the state. Hmmm, how does that pay, and what type of background do you need?

Those are pretty cool looking, at least since I haven't seen them much. I think someone in the building I'm in has one of them. Welcome to the group!

Pay depends on the funding level, I am on the last year of a 4 year project, in a limited duration position. I have a BS in Business, 20 years of IT experience, and should have my PMP by July.

But, they look for Project experience implementing med-large systems. With all of the budget cuts in the State, I am not sure if I will have a position next year.

So, I may be looking for a new place.

As you can imagine with my car... it can be a struggle to find shops that have the experience, knowledge and willingness to work on my car. (and not screw things up... sadly spoken from experience)

I'd really be grateful for any recommendations.

Thanks everyone!
English Racing will treat you well! They do great work, very professional, and they will go above and beyond for you. I would give them a call for anything first. To put it this way, a lot of the work I want done I will drive to Vancouver WA to have them do it. They also come up to the Drift Office in Auburn quite often(which is about 45 min drive for you). Another great shop is the Muffler King. The shop owners name is Tim. He's located in Kirkland (124th&124th). They do fabrication, exhaust, welding etc.. Tim is well connected around the redmond, bellevue, kirkland area. Their shop is well known for quality work by other shops as well. They aren't too familiar with 4G63's though but their work they do is great and Tim is a very social guy and has great networking skills.. There are very few shops I'll take my cars to and both of these mentioned are mainly where I take my Evo.

^is Tim an ex-bodybuilder? If so, I think I know that shop. Might be another shop close to that area. I know they do offroad bike stuff for my friends.

English Racing is by far the best shop in this side of the country. I recommend talking to them first. Lucas, Aaron, and all the other guys are friendly and will definitely go above and beyond to make sure your 4G63 is set up the way it should be. www.englishracing.net hit them up and see for yourself. I am willing to go down to Camas/Vancouver anytime to pick my car up. Lucas has come to pick up my car with a trailer every time they have done work on it. I just ride the train down to pick it up and he picks you up from the train station with your car lol. Honestly can't ask for more from these guys.

Hey everyone I'm Austin, and live in the Boise area. I've got a 2006 evo ix se. I just got the title from the bank recently so very excited abou that. My car is tuned by Jake Montgomery and he did all the work on the car as far as mods go aswell, all was done by previous owner. Looking to either look into more mod options or possibly sell and go to the X or something else.

Also I'm a 21 year old student at BSU and work full time, with a lovely fiancé. And I'm considering a move to Spokane to be closer to my little brothers andmy mom is begging me to transfer to wsu or gonzaga.
