Any recommendations for good/resonably priced Seattle area parts installers? Preferrably in the Bellevue area. I live in an apartment complex that frowns upon any auto work going on in the parking lot, so it looks like I'll probably have to pay someone else to do the work. I'm looking to get the hondata heatshield gasket, and possibly the comptech rear sway (if its too difficult for me to tackle), installed. Called up the local Acura dealer and they quoted me $170(seems high, but what do I know?) for the rear sway, and won't touch the heatshield gasket.

Thanks for the help!

It shouldn't be more than an hour labor to do the rear sway especially for a shop with a lift and air.

Bleh!

Guess I should have expected that the local dealer would try to rip me off. Looking at the parts that came with the rear sway, I can't imagine the job taking too long. 6 bolts just doesn't add up to $170.

170 for installing a sway bar is shit, dont go for it!!!

has anyone of you Seattle people heard an autoshop called Premier Autowerks? (it's pretty closed to Seattle downtown), are they good!?

also Stoke, you got a link or more info (phone number maybe?) for Rsport? is that where you guys tune your cars?

i remeber that i've been to a garage called "Innovation" in Bellevue area, that shop is extremely huge and seems soooooo professional, anyone heard of them!?

thanks a lot guys^o^

shiet the number is in my cell phone and that thing has been dead for over a month let me charge it and ill get it for you or you can just call 411. I dont tune my car there they dont have a dyno but they have the best prices around. No one can mess with them..well i get the hook up there and they will give you a good deal if you tell them i sent you(jay with blue TSX). GILBERT is the owners name make sure to talk to him. Its kinda like a mom and pop shop husband and wife run it but they have 1 employee who helps with the engine work. You can get your car dynoed and tuned at carborator connection or at intec racing in kent. Intec peeps know thier shiet but are also VERY EXPENSIVE. But they do good work. Well ill try and find out names for you.

stoke...
thanks a lot for the info and help^o^
yah...i've been to IntecRacing once, they are really good no doubt but they do charge a lot, i guess i have to go check out that carborator connection place once i go bak to Seattle, they seem to be pretty pro on Honda cars
haha...if let you choose, which one will you go for tuning up your TSX!? (Hondata and turbo/supercharger in our cases^o^)

iono we will see i havent made up my mind yet there is another place with a dyno up there too. The owner used to race ferrari indy cars. So im pretty sure they know thier shit too i cant remember the name of the shop though Fate or faith or something like that its one word i know that much i might check them out when i get back

Just wanna give thanks for all the feedback, and also let you all know who I finally went with. The garage of....

JTso!!

He ended up installing the K&N CAI, Comptech Sway, Heatshield gasket, and throttle body bypass for me for less than the dealer quoted for just the rear sway. He did a great job with tons of attention to detail, and showed me a ton about my car in the process.

Thanks again JT!

You're welcome Sean. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding the installs.

JTso, what is the address of your garage?

sigmachi96

He does it from his home. Jtso is highly recommended! He installed most of my performance parts (Comptech Icebox, DC header, Hondata Gasket, Random Tech Hi-Flow Cat, Comptech Shortshifter, Comptech Rear Sway, Comptech Front Strut Bar)

ya sigmachi, i just got Johnny's pm.

does the "check engine light" ever pop up after the "hi flow cat" mod?

Zasker1

Buy my airline ticket and I will do it for free.

sigmachi96

No, I've had it on for almost a week and no problems so far (knock on wood). Great performance mod!

2.4TSX-R

yeah, the hi-flow catalitic converter suppose to be a "bang for the buck" mod. since i had a straight thru on my CRX before, i know the gains..
