Anyone know a good Toyota mechanic?
I know this isn't the right forum, but since some guy just asked about a VW, I thought I'd check it out.
Since I just bought my "track beast" ('88 MR2 with supercharger-145horses lol), does anyone know of a good mechanic in or near Sacramento that knows these cars inside out? That might be a bit performance oriented?
Nothing too super special other than it is not street legal, being stripped, with roll cage, racing exhaust, etc. No weird mods or anything.
Thanks!

Yep, it's fine. I got a he** of a deal on this car, along with a donor car for parts, and a trailer. Fact was, I was too "invested" in the wagon to chance racing it, which I wanted to at least try once or twice before I die (or die trying lol).
And, I didn't want to ruin the WRX by stripping it, installing a roll bar etc. Also, once I rode in a Porsche Twin Turbo (600hp) and a Lotus Elise over the weekend around T-hill, I knew I wasn't going to try and "play and pay" with the big boys. So, this seemed like a nice alternative to try racing and time trials in, or just occaisionally autocross if I want. If I wreck it, assuming I walk away with my health, it wouldn't kill me as much as losing the wagon would. Is that enough rationalization to spend money I didn't have, or what?
