This is the place in Spartanburg where I was considering adding nitrous to my S.

I wussed out, but I thoroughly investigated their suggestions, and would not hesitate to bring the car to them if I wasn't such a wuss...

BTW, I've accepted a job offer in Munich, Germany, so it looks like I'll be 2 hours from Nurburgring beginning in February, waiting for the spring thaw. It's not certain yet due to contract negotiations, but its a 90% probability.

I've seen this Spoon guy's S at the paint shop. It's the only AP1 Spa I've ever liked, hardtop, bronze wheels. Nice.

It had a for sale sign in it a few months ago.

yep thats me stop by some time if u are over that way near the store. and yes it is still for sale . thanks for the post i hope that lets others see there are still decent shops out there take care

 

Hey, new here (on forums as a member and in the area). Thanks, Spoon. I was getting desperate trying to find a local tuning shop. I'm in Boiling Springs, got a Spa 01 S, but it still needs to be repainted and have a turbo tuned. I already bought a custom used kit from guy out in Charlotte, and will put it in myself. I will need some suggestions on street-tuning it for a rough map with a wideband and a Greddy E-manage, and then perhaps having TDC fine-tune it for me.

i'm in greenville and i think i might make the trek out to spartanburg sometime to get a few things done there

 

Mark K. that should be able to help you out that have a in house dyno jet and are hondadata certif. make sure u tell them you seen the post on s2ki about there shop. and post back and let us know how it goes good luck with your spa -s-

 

Was this guys name Paul?

 

^^^ No, Hue, or something like that.

Oh yeah, and I went and talked to the guys in TDC today. They seem to know what they're talking about. And ;-( they said I have too big of a turbo. ;-( I was suspecting that, it's a Garrett GT35 with a .70 A/R. It'll probably spool to full boost up at like 6k, not good for street. I gotta sell it now? It's used, andy ideas what they're worth on Ebay?

i'd like to see your car when you get it all finished up man. where did you buy the turbo from?

 

The turbo was off of Ebay. I've bid on like 4 before I got this one. Still overpaid. Waiting on the headgasket to arrive, and the weather to get just a bit warmer, I'm frizzin' tired of freezing my freezer off in the freezing garage! javascript:add_smilie("")
