Hi Andy, could you provide location and phone for the FA20club?

[MurderousPandas]

Kab Customs is great. They're in Sunrise, FL, and did my clutch, flywheel, bearings, bushings, shift springs, and fluids in roughly an hour at a great price. I haven't driven it long, but they seemed to know what they're doing, and everything is spot on.

Not for our cars. The closest shop for our cars down here is Kab Customs, but they do good work. They're in Broward. I used to live in Homestead, now Key Largo, but the drive is worth it. They swapped my clutch, flywheel, plate, bearings, bushings, shift springs, and fluid in roughly an hour. Including disassembly and reassembly.

well im having a lot of the common problems on my FRS.
I need to change my coil pack and my throw out bearing or it could be the release fork and pivot ball. I havent had an expert look at it. so i figured id just change the whole clutch while i was replacing the bearing (if its the bearing). im sad that I have to do this at 44k miles already.
how much did they charge you for the clutch, parts and labor?

Coil pack you can do yourself. It's a tight fit, but no where near as bad as the spark plugs, i had to do one of mine as well.
As for the clutch, it's probably the bearing, but it could be a dry fork. The parts i bought myself, i replaced everything with the Exedy OEM kit, MTec springs, Perrin and Whiteline bushings. My flywheel was good, but if you're dropping the tranny, might as well go for it, otherwise you'll have to pay for the same labor if you decide to change it later anyways. Labor was $350 in total, which is may sound like a lot for an hour, but they had 3 guys doing it as well, and an hour is damn quick. Really good guys, they specialize in FRS/BRZ/86 and S2000.

Please provide the owner's name and address. I need brakes done on my daughters car

I've been seriously considering buying a '17 BRZ in Pensacola, FL. However, I live far out of state. Can anyone suggest a good shop/mechanic that would be willing to do a pre-purchase inspection on the car?


I've tried searching for "Pensacola" in this thread, but couldn't find anything. Thanks for any help!

Tint Pros in pensacola did my tint and my front end PPF. They were really easy to work with and fair on pricing. I am really happy with the result. Had one small issue with a PPF bubble that I had to cut. The sharp angles on the front are apparently tough to get right. You can't even tell I cut it unless you get super close and know where to look. Overall a great value. They got it done quickly and I have been happy.

So I'm in between Mobile and Pensacola down on the gulf coast. (Foley) and I would love to find a good vinyl installer that could wrap my roof for me. Does anyone know of one without having to drive for hours on end? Thank you

any recommendations for a maintenance shop in the greater Nashville area?


I used to do all the maintenance myself but i've already been yelled at by my apartment complex about working on my car.
Also in need of a good alignment shop.
