Topic #37739 10 posts Started by team_omega
does any body know any shops in minnesota or close to minnesota that can do a 3sgte swap or a person that can do the swap? these guys at the one shop that my motors at now are /\ss holes.
What shop is it at now?

The only place that I know of that I would bring my car to would be LSE, seems like they do really good work. Here is their website http://www.lse-performance.com/

is your cousin the owner of TY Autosport??? Well my engine is at their place right now, and its been there since end of Feb. 06. They haven't even touched it yet, everything is still sitting where i left them. RS Motors, i call them but they never call back so its not good customer service. any other place please advise.

Thanks


i have friends who know people who own shops so ill ask. no my cuz is the girl (maity). why dont ty just do the swap? how much do they charge? hey were you the guy who bought the c-5 bumper? the owner told me someone bought that bumper? did you have them install it? if so how much? yeah i've heard bad things about RS so dont go there. they steal and damage your engine and blame that's its a bad engine. i've had several of my friends go there for swaps and that was the case. yeah i know they have bad customer service. they never call. just go there. ill find out other shops for you. later

Yeah i seen that girl in there..and no the c-5 bumper is not me who brought it in but the st185 motor in the back of the garage with all the parts on the ground, thats mine. The swap, he told me everything from tranny work, clutch & flywheel, 3" exhaust, IC piping, wiring harness and the motor to drop in is about $1200-$1300.
holy crap. why not put it in yourself? anyways yeah that girl in there is my first cousin. be nice cause she gives discounts. hehe smile.gif

If i had an engine lift and big enough space i would put it in myself, but no engine lift and no space.
RS seems to be pretty good. My buddy with his turboed 7th gen is having his motor built there and he hasn't had any problems with them. I have heard that they are usually very busy so they don't call back or answer their phones much though.

Isn't TY off White Bear?
