Cool New Evo Speed Shop in NW

To all EVO owners in the Seattle Area. The man to know is Andrea. I purchased my evo 1 mo and 1/2 ago. Andre owns a Tuner Shop for Mitsubishi's. If you haven't talked with Andre
you are a fool. The potential of these EVos are incredible. He operates a full repair and exhaust facility. Don't believe me, check out http://www.pinamotorsports.com/. Guys, it is hard to find someone who takes care of the public. IF you are even remotely interested in tuning your EVo, ask for Andre. You wont' find a nicer, sharper tuner that is priced fair who will save you $$$$$. Trust Me. I am one that did!!!

I also go through Andre for all of my modifications and welding work. You won't find cleaner TIG welds and his exhausts are amazing. He can do anything from a 60k service all the way to fabricating a full FMIC. He also knows 4G63 engines like the back of his hand and is a extremely smart guy. Just scroll through the gallery on his site for the great work.

Bruce-
Andre (the owner) has done quite a bit of tuning on my friends cars. With the current state of my car there isn't a ton of tuneability, but Andre knows these engine's better than anyone I've met before. He has tuned a close friend's car that is equipped with a HKS VPC and GCC, he has also tuned other's cars that are equipped with an SAFC. His knowledge of the 4G63 engine and everything that goes with it is amazing. He has put together a Galant VR4 with a 2.4liter motor, along with many other things. As for the question about the exhaust I can't comment about how they sound on an EVO, but the work I've heard on DSM's is louder than stock but not a bad loud. One customer is so obsessed with noise his 3'' turboback is quieter than a stock 2.25" exhaust. If you have any questions check out his website and also call him and talk to him. Andre is always willing to help. Oh yeah and he's getting a Wideband 02 here real quick to help with tuning even more.

Ok so hey listen, can this guy install my cams for me and put everything back together as perfect as stock? I had cams put on my old eclipse at MAXX Autococksucksers and JT couldnt get my timing right. I busted three valves on the incident. Obviously I dont want this to happen to my EVO....

Please let me know this guy can install them and if he has done them before.

I can't think of a reason why he wouldn't be able to put cams on your car and have everything function correctly afterwards. He's put hks 272's on other 4G63's before and these cars functioned correctly afterwards. Give him and call and ask him anything you'd like to know. His work can speak for itself.
