27996, HRC dealers & no BS shops...
Posted by Jasvb TS2K2, Aug-01-02 11:31 AM
Does anyone know the best dealers for the kits and people that know all about the 420A engines and the cars...period. Must be on the East Coast. I live in CT but will travel to Florida if I must. I have spent already the money on the kit, the install and problems. I want the best. Now after it's all said and done I need them to go over it all and fix what is potentially wrong. My experience is hell. After all this I am 100% done, I'm out. I will never spend to modify a car. I will spend on the high sticker price from now on and go from there. So if you have any of the info I request, please post. Thanx.

That's why I suggest everyone at least try and work on their own cars. 2gnt and chilton's can be a bad ass combo for installing/replacing parts.

You should be able to find a tranny for $400 or less. Installation you can do yourself and save the money.

Thanx for the replys. If I had known I would have so many problems I would have done the isntall myself. I don't have mechanic skills though. But what's done is done. Thanx.

Avoid extreme like they were lepers with the fucking plague(sorry for the language) the tried to charge me 1400 for a stage 1 HRC install

Howell is good, and they stay late enough that people who have a normal 9-5 job can contact them, and they are pretty good with responding to E-mail too. I highly reccomend them.

ExtremeMotorsports is good for the DSM cars. I wouldnt necessarely agree that their experience on DSM's also applies to our cars. I once took a turbo kit off an eclipse that was installed by Extreme Motorsports and the turbo oil center housing was configured like if it was made for a 4g63 (hanging down) install! (and this was bolted to an hrc manifold!)

I used to do installs of HRC kits, have done for about 3 or 4 people (www.asog.net/kiku) but I wont touch another person's car with a 10foot pole unless they are paying me well.

maybe I should specify on the 1400 thing. they charge 70 an hour for labor 1400/70=20 20 hours for a stage one is bullsh*t

that's why i say avoid extreme to have work done on your car, they'll try to jack you on labor.
