is there a "reliable" shop in south jersey to get an SRswap?
i would like to know of any shops with GOOD reputations in the south jersey/philly area. please tell me of any good experiences you've had. i am looking for a shop that excels especially in SRswaps. please help a guy who has gone through many headaches and one big scam! i'm just looking for another shop to do the job right. thanks.
I'm in South Jersey, I don't know of any shops around here that are known for SR swaps. I can only think of a handful of places nationwide that specialize in SR swaps and none that I know are close. Heavy Throttle would probably be the closest that "specializes",but that's about 3-4 hours away, Turbocity in Elizabeth, NJ is about 1 1/2 hours away, but I'm not sure how good they are with SR's. Rollhard doesn't do swaps last I checked. an SR swap isn't exactly rocket science, any place that installs replacement engines should be able to do it. At least they would be able to pull the old KA, and bolt up the SR and transmission. I don't know how mechanically inclined you are, but once the SR is bolted in, the rest is not that difficult. A few wires, A few hoses, a few vaccum lines, A few days of figureing out what you did wrong, and then you should be good.
I wish I could give some better advice. but South Jersey isn't exactly the "epicenter" of the import performance industry.

SKR's future is kinda uncertain at this point. the people there keep changing. everyone keeps on getting fired. everything about it is shady to me now. and john, now formerly employed at SKR, ran off with my money. i thought he was a nice guy and could be trusted, but i was very wrong. now i'm down a WHOLE LOT of money (it's almost unbearable to think about). i am in the process of trying to get my money back. :rolleyesblk90s13 wrote:best place around NJ is carluch motor sports they are up north jersey in parssipany great prices and very reliable work clean installs and great guys to deal with
