@swimfest and I have been chatting for some time now about suspension options. He ended up going with the Eibach Sportline spring set. This saturday morning he came in to have the kit installed and have an Amsoil oil change done, and was on the road before noon.

Big thank you to Neal for installing my Eibach Sportlines! He treated my car as if it were his own and explained everything as he went along. I admire his passion and professionalism, which has resulted in earning me as a life long customer.

Thank you Neal and hope to see you soon!

Last time (months ago?) I was there, all the e85 pumps were out of order. I'll have to try the corn juice some time..

They didn't seem to be out of order today, are you in the area?

Yesterday was pretty fun, although not filled with any 86's, cool anyways.

The infamous f80 M3 received a few more bits from Ground-Control. GC sent me their new sleeve coilover system to install. The advantage of the sleeve over system, is to retain the lovely factory EDC(electronic damping control), while allowing for custom spring rates, and the ability to change ride height and corner balance.

In between the install, I had a customer who's STI was in need of an emergency clutch master and slave cylinder swap. He had the pedal drop to the floor on the highway, and he limped it to my shop!



























The M3 is now running 305 Square NT01's. It had previously done consistent 1:40's at MRLS with just tires. The owner thinks under 1:38's are possible!

@tintumz22 dropped by this morning in his higher mileage FRS. Motul fluids for the brakes, diff and trans, and new spark plugs and he was out before lunch!

It was nice meeting you again, Neal! Thanks for servicing my car. Sorry for being late though!

Experienced a few bad mechanics that just don't get how important it is that the owner wants you to treat his/her car as your own. That's what Neal did. While he was working on my car, he showed each part that needed to be addressed on, explained it and answered my questions. His price is really competitive! Prompt communications!

Had a good time chatting about cars, future plans with his track/dd 86 frs (I was drooling over those brakes though!). It was nice to see his shop before upgrading/moving to a new one. Congrats and looking forward to that new shop!
