Default Trying to get a feeler

I'm trying to see how much interest I'd get from the local guys to possibly drive out to Felton (you get to go through Hwy 9 ) for work done to the car if I were to say offer install services to you guys. I think i'd be able to offer some pretty good rates for the S2000 guys which I haven't decided how much yet. My experience with the S2000 is pretty extensive and I can pretty much quote a ton of torque specs of the top of my head and always torque stuff down to spec not some "mechanic's touch" use the impact gun for everything type of stuff.

I've installed 5 different turbo kits for the S2000, both comptech & vortech superchargers, etc. However, I will not rip apart blocks. I'd be the official & only authorized west coast installer for Lovefab and probably inlinePRO as well.


Here's my build thread with the very basics as far as tools go but I'll just bring everything I have including my TIG welder from my house in NY if I decide to go through with it and have a lift as well:

Yes I have...on a MKIV to put in a RPS Twin....none of the other Gen's and it's just like a regular RWD...easy - unlike the S2000. I am also only offering my services to S2000's. This will keep the quality of service high without flooding me.

Should only take me about an hour at most to get them dialed in. I found a better spec for the valves that I use on my car. How would $60 sound for valve adj. and a quick overview of the retainers?

lol...I gotta tell my good friend Billman what he's done to the s2k guys...everyone is so scared about the retainers now
