Even do Powder coating in house.

Welcome to the site!

I think answering a few questions might help the members on here (Since advertising your shop isn't allowed unless your a sponsor on this site, crappy rule - I know)

Does your shop have a name?
Any pictures of the builds you're performance shop has been involved in?

Do you specialize in tuning? fabrication? bespoke builds?
JDM? Domestic? Euro?

LoL Sorry I was really tired last night. I under stand I own a forum also. I have already contacted them about becoming a sponsor. I actually thought this had been deleted until just now when I scrolled down more. lol

Name of the shop is Texas Performance Imports. Sadly I have lost a lot of pictures due to 2 hard drives crashing. Do not know how my new one crashed after a month and a half. Luckily all the pictures of my family are on my chicks computer. Right now I have a 89 supra doing a 96 2jzgte swap in it. Have done builds from 14:1 compression GSR to 10 sec street Talon/eclipse one 35 PSI. I can do much more with allowed money.

I really do not want to do another set of 17's until I build the bigger oven. Will probably be done in a week or 2. But I charge $270 for a set. If you want a color that requires 2 colors it is $30 more. Valve cover if it is taken off and brought to me I will do for $60 1 coat color and again $30 for 2end. Intake manifold will have to wait till the bigger oven but if brought to me be $100 again $30 more for the 2. Now if it is not taken off before it is brought to me, I normally charge $60 an hour in labor. So looking at valve cover $50 more and intake manifold about $100 more in labor. you will also need some gaskets with intake manifold and valve cover. Valve cover recommend valve cover gasket and spark plug cylinder gaskets. Intake manifold needs intake manifold gasket and throttle body gasket.

Currently I can do street tunes, But normally out source due to lack of dyno right now. Would love to get one in the short near future. I specialize in Honda's and mitsu but specialize specialize in Honda. lol I have been racing Honda's since 03. Little history about my skills, my grandfather started teaching me how to work on them when I was 12. He used to race when he was younger, so he passed it down to me. I kinda of "turned my back" on him though when 16 and started with imports. lol j/k Also have 2 certifications in aviation in airframe and powerplant.

Work I do at the shop. I can do some fab work, but due to lack of tools right now just sticking to exhaust, downpipes ect. Thanks to my friends at vibrent performance, they make stuff pre bent now, so unlike getting kinks in binds like you get with pipe benders you do not have with these. I do not fab turbo manifolds ether. I can, just am working on getting a tig welder. I started off low budget, just trying to build up. Unlike some shops around here I am not going to lie to customers. If i can not do it I will not take the work in. But from what I have run into, that has not happened to often. Honestly if yall have any questions just ask, I will answer honestly. I am well rounded. I even used to be a Mazda tech so I work on rotary's, just not really a main point of mine.

If you have any questions you can call my cell 210-843-8331 or come by the shop 1865 grosenbacher rd 78245 And working on the website but it is texasperformanceimports.com

Thanks! Hope to see yall out at the cupcake meets Nov. 12! find my booth out there!
