The only 'performance shop' I know of in the North County area is Sportcar Motion, and I've heard VERY mixed reviews about them.

first is gonna be basic stuff that i dont have access to tools or a lift to do. i just wanted to look into it... see how much rape on the wallet it is and if i can afford it.

i have a slanted driveway and a pool table in the garage... which reminds me... know anyone who wants a pool table in the SD area... its free just come get it.

If you need a good mechanic to install things, then Infinite Motion in San Marcos should be able to do the trick. They are a bit more expensive than your average mechanic, but they do good work. They aren't strictly a 'performance shop', however.

I've been going to Infinite Motion in San Marcos for nearly 20 years. They are honest and do good work. Their son Gavin has a nicely mod'd S2000 and is into performance stuff.

So your FR-S must have been the one you brought by their shop. He mentioned it to me.
