261 N. 26Th AveMinneapolis, MN 55411(612) 521-0550

I'm pretty sure they'll tune your car for you.

You mean there's really more 240s in the twin cities?! I found a mechanic out in mound who's going to get my suspension finished, but I don't know if I'm going to use him for my ka rebuild. I'll keep this shop in mind.

Yes, theres er... 'more' 240s in the area. So far i've seen like 4 Minneapolis/St. Paul 240 owners who post. Does this mechanic work for a shop? If so which?

He's got his own shop. Autoknights, Inc.He's a really nice guy, seems like a good mechanic, but I find that he can be really hard to get ahold of.

Hey, are there any tracks in the area?

Looks like this is starting to be a Minnesota thread. Nice to see that there's more 240 owners here.

I know one, midway, propulshun. They have been doing lots of SR after I did mine in their shop. Anyways, it's so good to see that MN peeps are catching on to 240's. I was like one of the first one ever had the sr around there, but i don't even live there though, just hanging out there. Then I went on a deployment, came back a few days ago, and 240's are in the shop and heard a lot of people with their sr's done so I guess it's kinda fun. Hopefully I will see you all at the track (rockfalls) in april.

I'm game. My friends and I plan to meet at area 51[auto shop in brooklyn park/center?] around 6ish then caravan out. I'm not 100% sure about this plan though since they always change at the last minute. If you guys don't want to caravan out together then we could meet at rockfalls.

Glad I could help with the info. I'm not sure if there's other shops who tune cars around here. If I hear of any i'll post.

RS Motors and Propulshun is one building. Propulshun is a performance shops, which they sell parts. THe back side is RS Motors, which is the installation bay. I would say these are the best guys in town and don't overcharge people like some other stores I went to, and not to mention the help and the professionalism when it comes to cars at RS motors. But then again, I hang out with them so I have no other brags...hehe.

nah, they moved to university. All they have on Lake street are rims and audio system, which again, RSMotor has a good experienced audio installer and has discounts at a tire store...check out the show room, you'll be amaze.

yea, that's the one. They have changed a lot. They have everything, if they don't, they can always order. RSMotors are doing SR swaps in a couple of days, and they are getting good too. ANyways, Project D was a rip off, I dont know who would go there. Just because they have JDM stuff, doesn't mean they can't overcharge you.

I'm up for a caravan out to rockfalls, setup a date and place and lets all meet up then fly out there. I don't have a SR yet though :(... hopefully before the rock falls date mine will come in. Should take me and SR20DET about 2 days to put it in. If not, I'll have to roll to the rock with my ka... oh well.
