  1. I picked mine up from a local guy at Christmas time for about $750 with the stock potenzas w/ about 25% tread left. Had them on for a couple months now and I love 'em! Don't have any great pictures but I do have at least this one: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/integraguy1995/Legacy%20GT/DSC_0035.jpg
  2. I've had my car back for about a week now and I would definitely like to recommend Accurate Transmission in Aurora for anyone needing some transmission work. They treated me very well and were very willing to do what I wanted at each step of the process. They also were very up-front and honest with everything and did not try to sell me anything I didn't really need. I ended up just having them pull the transmission for me and do the rebuild since I ran out of time to pull it myself. They were fine with me just bringing them the trans too if I had gone that route. Cost for them to pull the trans, tear it down, replace the bad parts, replace the clutch and flywheel and put everything back together was right at $1200 for labor. The parts were additional on top of that and would obviously vary depending on what needed done. They used OEM parts in the trans and I provided them with a CM FX300 and SMFW. Had I decided to do the OEM clutch, they were fine doing either the DWFW or converting it to the SMFW/WRX clutch and would have covered either under their warranty. All of their work is covered by a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty except for when parts are provided by the customer (my trans is covered but the clutch is not). In addition to transmissions, they are an (almost) full-service repair and service center and will do anything from oil changes to full overhauls (except brakes). My mother has used them for all of her automotive needs for nearly 15 years and now that I have experience with them as well, I can certainly see why. The manager, Chad, is who I would suggest asking for if you are calling to inquire about anything. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. The owner, Bob, is also good to work with but he is semi-retired and not around much. They are located at: 1040 S Joliet St, Aurora, CO 80012 (about 1/2mile east of Havana and Mississippi on the north side of Mississippi behind the Firestone shop) PH: 303-364-6254
  3. Well, I dropped my car off with Chad and Bob at Accurate Transmission in Aurora (just east of Havana and Mississippi) to have them work on the trans problem I've been having. My mom has been using them for about 15 years and they worked on one of my old cars a couple times. So far, they have been very helpful and kind and willing to work with me. Hopefully that continues once they get a chance to dig into it. They do offer free diagnosis so that's a bonus. I also contacted SubaPerformance. They quoted me $740 for labor to tear down, inspect and rebuild. Parts extra. That would have been if I had just taken them trans already out of the car. Not that that didn't sound good but having done business with Accurate before and them knowing my mother so well I decided to give that a shot. I'll update as this goes along.
  4. I've used Cooper Auto Body in Fort Collins many times and they've always been fair and willing to work with special conditions (put the JDM front on my old Integra and did a full frame swap on my LandCruiser). They also re-did the front end on my Legacy after I got stuck behind a gravel truck. Came out as good as new!
  5. Any updates on the transmission rebuilds? My 5MT is looking to be in need of a partial if not complete rebuild. I'll have it out of the car tomorrow and will be out of town for a week starting Monday so I'd like to drop it off somewhere before I leave. I'm up for anywhere from Fort Collins to Denver since I'll be making that drive Sunday prior to leaving the state. My mother has done business with a place in Aurora called Advanced Transmission for years so if all else fails, I can give them a shot.
  6. How did it turn out? I'm going to be looking to do this in the not-so-distant future and would like something reasonably close to home.
  7. The mobile testing stations are a great option. I'll just have to go for it and see what happens. I will definitely hang on to my stock DP though. Thanks for the input!
  8. So I've been doing some research on here and have mostly narrowed my choices on a DP to a Cobb, Invidia, or Perrin split catted DP. I live in a part of CO that just recently saw a return of emissions so I do need to keep the cat. My question is, which is the most likely to "pass"? I know this is redundant question but I'm just looking for what people have had experience with passing in these parts. They do spot-check visual inspections (although they missed the chevy V8 crammed in my '87 Landcruiser when they popped the hood). Thoughts from other folks here in CO would be greatly appreciated but anyone who lives in a "normal" (i.e. - non California) emissions local would be appreciated as well. Thanks! If it makes a big difference, I am looking to mate it to a SPT cat-back.
