Default Need advice on a shop to go to

Hey everybody,

My car is almost due for a valve adjustment (another 4k miles or so), and I have an increasing desire to pay someone else to install my Hondata gasket (since I have a set of Mugen cooling mods and Samco hoses I'm having done @ the same time) so I was wondering where I should take it.

I don't think any dealer will install all of the aftermarket stuff, so I was thinking Stage 6, but I'm guessing it will end up being an arm and a leg there for this job. Ideas?

You need to have someone there that knows what they are doing. Otherwise a few hours turns into 12.

Stage 6 if you want to pay.

I'd be willing to host a mini mod day. We can probably do 2 gaskets with Josh leading with his expertise. We have some good wrench turners who can do 80% of the work and then Josh help with the hard parts.

Mod day sounds good, I'll buy a couple cases of beer and we can get to work. The only thing I can't do myself is the gasket, besides that all I have to do is drain the coolant system to install the Mugen stuff and the radiator hoses, which should be pretty simple. They've been sitting around for so long, I just need to get to it before I lose them in the move.

What about everybody else, who else needs stuff installed?
