OH! An actual performance shop in Reno
 

A friend of mine just opened up a "performance" shop in Reno on Mill across the street from Enterprise car rental. He knows what he's doing as far as getting/ordering the right parts. (He just got in a bunch of Sparco clothing too (mmm... Spaaaarr-co...) Check it out. Hopefully his shop doesn't die off like the others I've heard about.

whats the name of the shop? Does he specialize in anything? Were there 2 STI's parked out front yesterday?

Dyno? Lifts?

no lifts yet, and too poor for a dyno, but he does have a really nice wheel mounting and balancing machine that will do rims up to 26" ;) He specializes in subby roos. He and his employee both own 06 Sti's, so it was probably their cars. The place is called High Rev Motorsports. He's very competitive with prices, and can get most any quality part you want.

No Thanks, I'll stick with BC Automotive.

I'll give em a try in a few weeks , alignment?

I thought it was BCTuning?!

Same thing.

Although you could get your tires mounted and balanced by BDTuning... but I don't really trust his work.

Yeah, he's a shiester.

you think this guy could have an exedy twin disk HD here by wednesday? if he can give me his number.

You burned up your clutch already? :lol:

I'm sure this sort of debauchery had *nothing* to do with it.

None whatsoever.

there is a clutch place in the same parking lot that has a big EXEDY sign. Dont know if that will help.

And so it begins...:lol:

i hate you all.

That's okay. But stop taking it out on your clutch. :p

My clutch died at 30k, they said it was normal wear. :( Stupid EVOs.

yea see i made it to 43k what now!
i got my clutch its going in on thursday :)

How many of those 43k miles are yours? Like 700? ;)

Went into this shop today. Has potential. Right now its just a good place to get some dubs.

That kills me. "20 inch wheels" and "performance" are polar opposites.

100%: Do they really seel dubs? I guess they have to make money.

^ There are 2 walls entirely devoted to huge ass chrome rims. The guy I talked to said they figured that dub sales would be the staple but so far they are not doing too good in that department.

That totally makes me want to check it out.

throw some D's on that bitch.

Without an AWD dyno, a tuner that knows what they're doing, licenses for all the major tuning software, a decent mechanic w/ fab experience, and a lift or two... I wouldn't call them a "performance shop". Anyone can sell parts, a real shop can build you what you need when the part doesn't exist, and a real good shop will already know what everything does from their own experience on the race track.

A wall of dubs sounds like they're just another "pimp my ride" shop, and certainly not a shop that "specializes in subarus", since there isn't a single Subaru made that you can cram 20's on w/o lifting it. Do they have TVs for my headrests too?

Well, the OP did put performance in quotations.

Also, when I had gold rims, a cute young black child asked me "Eh yo are dose 20's?!" I just said yes and laughed. What a cutie.

:lol:

Now Scott dont be silly. There is an entire hill of car audio in one corner of the store oozing LCD monitors.:liljon:

That's still not as good as that time we where in Tahoe and that kid asked you why your pants where so tight.

"Um, I'm a fighter pilot. These are my G-suit pants. They squeeze my legs to keep blood in my head during high G-force maneuvers."

:lol: :lol: And they were in highly stylish demin!

What was really funny about the whole thing, my pants weren't even tight really. But compared to the shit he was wearing, they were.
