first of all, offering services is very nice of you all, but it would be good to find out exactly what he has. ive noticed a big jump in rotated setups. if its a rotated turbo, how many of you have actual experience installing these? as far as i know, there are only a handful of members here who have a rotated setup (i could probably count them on one hand...and definately 2, lol).....its not an easy thing to install. even if you buy a kit, most are not complete. lots of relocating and fabricating....can most of you do this in your garage?
also, what happens when **** happens? sadly, ive had people seriously fack up my car...and you know who ends up paying for it...yeah, ive spent thousands trying to fix others mistakes. why risk it-to save yourself a couple hundred? best thing to do if you cant do the work yourself is to take it to a shop....i learned the hard way...
like luis said...sonic all the way....

to me it is more meaningful to build my own car than to have someone else do it for me. if i dont know how I ask the people who do.
finally i once read a sig here on one of our HIIC members and it stated
"sick rides are built NOT bought"
to the OP make friends here be willing to learn about your car and you will be surprised on the people you meet that know a thing or two......and in my opinion the BEST Suby mechanics in Oahu don't own shops they are right here in HIIC, you just need to know where to look.

Sorry, But I've took my car to Shops and they have ****ed it up too...
I have only took my car to a shop to build my tranny.
Everything else was Garage Built.
I am not going to Vent on this thread.
But homie if you need some help and it's something I can help you with just know that I am Here. Thats all i was saying.
Peace

I wouldn't doubt the skills of some of the members here in HIIC. if you want to dump large amounts of cash to have someone install your parts than thats the owners business.

when i had exhaust leaks with my current setup...i went to a highly recommended shop on here...i cant really say what happened or if it happened there, but something really bad was discovered at that shop...and guess who ended up paying for it?
now, i cant help it if i am friends with someone who owns a shop...but his shop has done the best work on my car-no complaints.
edit...also about the sick rides are built not bought....id like to see a female build a subaru...its not an easy car to work on...also, id like to see a female build a setup like mine-has that ever been done? possibly....but not by any local females. i dont even know any females that have anything more than a stage 2 at most, lol.

3 members have worked on my car...All of them do outstanding Work!
No My Car wasn't Fuct up by a HIIC member...I know who you are referring. The Shop that did it will be a secret to me and the people who i've told.
But Doll, your car was built...Your a Female and they always get better deals.
I just like working on my car no matter what it is because if something goes wrong I know exactly what I did when i did it.
