Default I'm baaaack....

It's a long story, so I won't bore you with all the juicy details, but I'm now back in SoCal and finally ready to purge the demons from my car. Who in the area would be the best to go over the drivetrain and suspension bit by bit, find and fix all the problems, then install the final few go-fast goodies? So far, I'm considering, if they're interested in the job:

Beta Motorsports
EMI
Tony Fuchs
Spugen

Yes, I know this spans a HUGE range in quality of work, availability and cost. I'm definitely willing to spend more for a good job, but not if it means it'll take a year to be back on the track. Anyone else I should be considering? Any of these I should take off the list?

On a side note, my new place is less than 15 minutes from Fontucky, so feel free to hang out and/or sleep at my place when you're in town. The evil whore kept all the dogs, so no more worries about the noise and smell....

Just change the nut behind the wheel and your car will drive perfectly fine

doesn't every S2K drive train make those hideous noises!? I thought maybe the tranny would be quieter when I put in the new F22 / AP2 motor / tranny and diff. Nope.

Get a new GF ... or a 2nd car.

Rylan, I did refer to the ex as the "evil whore". What do you think? Like I said, I'll spare you the juicy details...

msm, I've got a 2nd car. It gets a lovely 14.6 mpg on my 60 mile round-trip commute. New GF is most definitely out of the question

Seriously, the car has been badly abused and now it's time to repair the damage so I can get back to abusing it again.
