Has anyone from STL area done 3s swap, or knows a mechanic in this area who can do it (probably not). If so give me info. (It's probably pointless seeing as I live in RICER CITY). I do not have materials or time to do swap myself ( DAMN that sucks since I love to work on cars). Thanks in advance (Or not!!)



Screw all of the RICERS!!!

There is a place called R.P.M (stands for Rudivani Presicion Motorsports), ask for Rudy and see if they are willing to do the swap, Im almost positive they would. They specialize in tuning cars and are really quite good at it. They have a shop on Big Bend and one on Manchester, the manchester location is where they do all work besides Saabs... for some reason they keep them to the Big Bend location.

Lemme know how it works out...

People trained in cars like Saabs, Porsche's etc are in high demand. It wouldn't make sense to hire 2 of them for 2 different locations, when they probably only get enough Saab work to justify one location

No clue... last time I checked (3months ago) they had an All-Trac on their lot... pretty sweet looking too. They have their own race team as well, I believe they use a 3S powered MR2.

PS- I dropped off my Celi today to get my new engine dropped in... the guy had some pretty nice 16" 5-spoke rims that he offered to me for $150 with tires... not sure Im going to be able to afford it as allready have nice 15" BBS wheels... If Im not up for them you might be...

Well I got other problems today. The celica is my gf's car. Today she was driving down the street and someone in a city water department truck open the door on her. Didn't know a door could do some much damn damage. We got lucky though it bashed in the fender (which we were getting new ones anyway because they both already had damage). Some how the guys door completly skiped the door (THANK GOD!!) but put a dent right behind the door. I just don't see how a door did this much damage to the car. Its crazy. These cars look like they have some week ass metal. Oh we'll the city is paying for it who cares. Just a miner set back. I'm just doing the fenders myself and having them pay for the other dent. I know this isn't really a question for this forum, but what do you guys think of the Z3 fenders for our car. I am gonna go ahead and get these because I think they look better but I want someone else opinion. But I am going to go ahead and get them because me and her like them and they are cheaper than stock ones.
