eBay is a great place to get stuff, for me anyways. Everyone is difference so don't buy from a person who has a lot of negative feedback!

Hey, I'm from Tennessee. There's a place in Murfreesburo called Hot Rods. They do pretty good work. Other then that it's mostly domestic stuff around here, which sucks because no one knows d!ick about imports. There's also a place in Florence in Alabama that works on imports but I can't remember their name. I'm sure there's a place in Nashville but I haven't found it yet. If there is one anywhere it will be in a fairly good sized city, Tennessee sucks for imports :(

I live in Murfreesboro, TN and I have been to Hot Rods a couple times, they are over priced if you ask me, but they are the only real choice if you don't want to do the work yourself.:ylsuper

Heh I never said they were fair ;) they're the only place and they know it. My friend has a 2000 eclipse gt and a turbo kit and it would have cost him nearly $2,500 just to have them put it on and dyno it. So he just bought that red GST that was sitting out front lol. Whoever had it before really fuked it over though. They used DOT5 clutch fluid, effectivly destroying the slave cylender so that had to be replaced, he busted a transmission cable and the syncros went out. it's still in the shop getting the syncros replaced lol

Red there's a couple tracks between here and murfreesboro, they just had an auto-x at twin fountains racetrack in shelbyville not too long ago and I think they had one a few days ago at music city raceway. I dunno about drags though. There's one here, but it's only 1/8th mile. I'm sure there's one up that way though. You got icq?

Lobot yeah it has a pretty rough ride cuz they lowered it too low with the coilovers, he needs to raise it about .5", and I've never really liked FWD handling, but it doesn't handle that bad really. Also they put different raio gears in it, supposidly "racing gears". They really spaced them out too much for great accelleration. I mean the damn thing does 70 in second and only has minor hp upgrades. He might be pulling 240 at the flywheel if he's lucky. I raced him in my 240 and he only got about 1.5 carlengths on me, in a car that's suppose to have a full 2 seconds better accelleration then the 240. Oh well, hopefully it'll drive better once he gets it back.

Oh and I'm sure your friend could tell there was something wrong with the clutch. Since they had DOT5 fluid in it it had over time gradually turned to mush so it couldn't fully dissengage. lol we were coming back down here and I was driving the 3rd gen and he couldn't get the thing out of 3rd gear, it was hilarious
