SBT Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 common questions, so i apologize, but any shops in the la area you guys recommend to do the lca bushing swap? i've ordered the avo/turbo (zero offset) but my local mom&pop place only does maintenance and not "performance" stuff. i'm in la/west la. seems most places mentioned are in orange county or san diego. thanks, jksu HB Speed in Fountain Valley. Can do it all. They installed my LCA bushes and the WL Roll-Center Kit, in addition to the Bilstein/Swift conversion from stock setup. They also recently tuned my stage 2 bits and will be installing and tuning the WBR FMIC FP18G setup. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go back to them for the things I'm not ready to do myself (many things). I'm in West LA so I'd prefer they were Culver City Speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they serve mostly the WRX crowd but maybe Legacy/OB is close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edekba Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Jon used to own a legacy ... so i'm pretty sure they're well versed in Legacy work. Plus i think Jamal still owns a legacy ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawl Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Jamal is awesome. if he can work on your car, the better. although... they all know subies very well. the legacy is not really... exotic plus the front end of the new wrx is basically a legacy. no worries there. as far as tuning goes jon is one of the best. although if you are closer to SFV, yimisport is good too. paul leung owns probably one of the most hooked up legacys in the country. he used to be a big poster here, but he's on nasioc now. he did the work on my turbo setup and everything's been great so far. also probably by far the best bumper cutter for LGT FMICs known to man car for sale.

yamaneko Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Does anyone know any mechanics around who work at these shops or who just have a lot of know how with the engines who would be interested in doing my swap for me so that i dont have to pay 50-75/hour labor for it? I have a RHD postal wagon and am looking to import a JDM front clip to swap over. ( i still am not 100% sure what im doing to do). Was hoping to find someone who is looking to earn some extra bucks that has done this kind of thing before at a shop or on their own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rommel Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 That's a big job. You might want to talk to Steve over at Suby Specialties in Monrovia if they will do it. Most tuner shops try to avoid that kind of job because it takes too much time and too much headache on their side to do engine swaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Who do you recommend we ask for ? I thought they serve mostly the WRX crowd but maybe Legacy/OB is close enough. Anyone there is great! My preference is Pete (Jamal) as he's got the most run-time there and is probably the most experienced suspension guy in the area. Plus, he's a Legacy owner so he's automatically got extra cache. There've already been several Legacys through HBS, so I wouldn't worry about that aspect. Later-gen Subarus are basically the same model-to-model with minor variances for the individual chassis and or drive train setups. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter who does it, you're looking at $3-4K in labor beyond any parts you import or might need. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treetek Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I highly recommend YimiSport in Santa Clarita. Well worth the drive. Both Pauls are super knowledgable in Legacy Tuning and Parts. Fun to see them talk $h!t to each other too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take my OB there to get hawk pads and SS lines installed. Don't like to mess with bleeding the fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacy2.5GT05 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is there any reputable shops for general work in the Hollywood vicinity? Subaru Independent in NoHo doesn't work on cars with aftermarket parts.. I used to go to Stokes in Santa Monica but now that I've moved to WeHo it's a bit of a trek.

They also recently tuned my stage 2 bits and will be installing and tuning the WBR FMIC FP18G setup. I'm taking my car there Friday to get the WL Roll Center Kit installed. I wanted to go to Suby Specialties since they are local, but they quoted me $135 more than HB Speed did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
