Denver133 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Anyone have a suggestion on who could install my new exhaust and downpipe here in San Diego? I have installed both before but had a lift so it was a lot easier. Please let me know. Everything should be here by Friday so I should be ready to go this weekend if I find the spot. Thanks!

jsalicru Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 you got PM "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver133 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Catback should be here by Thursday. I know I could probably do that myself or with the helpful hands of Lawl. But the DP is just such a pain without a lift. jsalicru, I got your PM. I am seeing what my weekend trip to SLC might look like. If it happens and I have my stuff, I am just going to get it done there. Otherwise, I will will give you a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishingFiend Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Crawford is in Carlsbad, call them! Otherwise HB Speed is running a $90 DP install special. My buddy got his done last Saturday. Bring gaskets just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawl Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 dunno about crawford.. car for sale. PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urs1ne Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Crawford is the only shop I would trust. Dont go there for a good deal, go there to do it right the first time. But seriously, I thought I was going to pay someone to install my dp, but before I did I decided I would check it out to see how hard it was. Well after loosening one bolt, and 2 bolts, before I knew it the dp was unbolted from the turbo and I was ready to jack up my car. Total time of the project without even meaning to start it was 2 hours and I learned a lot about potential mistakes doing it on my car and I bought all the odds and ends tools to do it right. Moral of the story, we can do it at my house in a couple hours with a 6 pack if you want and I didnt even have a jack, I used the one from my trunk. ^ n00bs below this line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniStiGuy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I say just go to brandens since he offered up and knows how to do it. I would do it for you but I don't have my jack or anything where I'm living now. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishingFiend Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 If you hit up Crawford, ask about their ability to tune on the AP? I'm not sure where they are in their process, but I'd be down for a Crawford ProTune... Hard to beat a 6pack and a couple of hours labor...

MiniStiGuy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 when I was at there shop I didn't notice a dyno so I don't know where they tune. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawl Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 ispeed is nextdoor/same building/whatever to crawford and they do a lot of stuff together. here is what concerns me http://www.iwsti.com/forums/built-motor-discussion/41685-bobblehead-legend-continues-starting-page-10-a.html among other things. i realize this is 2 years old or more but enough in there to make me not want to have anything to do with him. i'd rather drive the extra 40 minutes elsewhere. car for sale.

FishingFiend Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I thought they were a tuner, but the ispeed thing was a bummer. As for an engine rebuild, I had them on my short list if the 08 pistons become a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for an engine rebuild, I had them on my short list if the 08 pistons become a problem. I am friends with Bill who started and is I-speed, the problem is that Crawford is geared towards projects like building a DC/Subaru rally car or building an maintaining a regular racecar for a rich customer, they arent good at offering cheap shit for bargains. If you want to drop 10k and build a racecar, go to Crawford, if you want to throw some gnarly parts at your car and still hope you can daily drive it go somewhere else, they have a target customer and unfortunately most of us are not it. lol Oh and they dont do the Cobb AP, but I am schmoozing them and they are close to jumping the fence. Like I said, I can help you, Im moving this weekend into my condos so next week would be best but just lemme know, Im up for anything. ^ n00bs below this line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawl Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 That's the thing about them. In the big money racing world you can afford to keep rebuilding stuff. Busted motor after the race who cares rebuild before next race. We are not these people. The ken block monster sti has had at least 6 motors iirc. Like I said we are not these people. car for sale.

jsalicru Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yeah, I don't know about Crawford/I-Speed myself. 1. I'm pretty sure they don't do AP 2. Haven't had the best personal experience with them. HB Speed is great. Also, don't look at me and rule me out just cause its in a garage. Many users here will vouch for the quality of work that I've done. I work on easy things like oil changes, to turbo swaps, to meth-injection, to big brake kits and coilovers. Cars that have had work in my garage range from CRX Engine swaps and GTi VR6 turbo to 450+whp STi to a 911TT that I did a ported GT2 turbo swap. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose."
