S2GARAGENYC

So after a few years of progress I'd like to finally document my build and have a place to jot down my updates, fluid changes, etc. The car has been through a few different sets of wheels, suspensions, and exhausts over the years, and now we've just about reached her final form. All work performed by myself with the exception of pressing bushings/bearings - ain't nobody got time for dat!

Thanks for stopping by!

Who's tuning your car?

S2GARAGENYC

Jeff Evan. Jeff has tuned my old car and a few friends and I've always loved how thorough he is with everything. His customer service before and after the fact is top top stuff as well. We've exchanged hundreds of emails over the years.
