Boostjunkie Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Pm Jsalicru. He is a member of this forum who does installs on the side. Good guy and he does good work. I believe he is in the Temecula/Murrieta area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlosLGT Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'll vouch for Darren at West end Alignment rocks, he does all my ol' SE-R buddies that road race in NASA or just hot-lap & my good friend Mike Kojima Sport Compact Car tech-contributor takes all his SCC project cars & personal/race cars there as well. Maybe I should talk to "boostjunkie" about a clutch install here soon, especially since I read we're neighbors here in Valencia.

Boostjunkie Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'm not doing as many installs now. I prefer doing suspension work and tend to shy away from heavier duty stuff like clutch installs that are much easier with a lift. I'm sending a lot of work over to my buddy Paul Yim who owns Yimi Sport Tuning in town (Santa Clarita). He's a great guy and all his work is quality and reasonably priced.

He's a great guy and all his work is quality and reasonably priced. No Problem Paul, nice to meet ya, err, I guess..?? Oh um, I was actually j/k on the clutch thing, hehe I hear ya, about the only things I ever did on my track slut were hand-tool stuff. Yes, I've been in touch w/ Paul Yim actually before I signed up here to post, sounds very knowledgable & friendly. I just got the ACT kit from Ian @ Harman, another very cool hombre. Now if I can just get the car over to Yim via AAA... I'm still debating wether or not to have it fixed before goin' to the Subie $tealer & see what they say about the clutch. Or not... Hell I just want the car back, it's a 3200 lb. paperweight collecting dust right now, come by & see for yourself, I'm over by the XMAS tree farm!

CarlosLGT Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Wow, if that guy drove here from Upland to see a DP install, that's hardcore! I used to drive from here 52 mi. to Glendora for work. :/ BTW, I am no wrench-monkey, but for 'shadetree' installs a dp is a 4 vs. a clucth like an 8 on the 10 scale (awd 9?)

Boostjunkie Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 BTW, since you have the clutch now, either have Harman Motive do the install (their primary tech Adan is a Subaru Master Technician and VERY good at what he does) or if you don't want to schlep it down to Torrance, bring it over to Yimi.

Probably, I always say "hi" or honk to fellow Subie pilots. Looks kinda weird when I do it in my mom's (RIP) ol' G20 though. Guilty your honor, that's mine, 18" RPM2s (pita to clean btw), debadged, looks like the forum banner car minus the wing & wiper Bought last April from a real nice guy (hmmm, maybe too nice? ) named Michael S. off the 14 fwy/sierra hwy, so you know him? How? Yeah I have it here, but for some reason I thought theflywheel had the replaceable surface. Guess I'm used to my NISMO FW in the track slut, R&R the pad for $50 & you're good to go. Oh yes Paul Y. will do it alright, just gotta get a date from him. Can you purt in a good word? Not driving down to Torrance, no way, I meant taking it into the $tealer before getting it fixed just for shits & giggles. Then I'm thinkin', "why?", I just don't wanna go thru the hassle of bitching until I'm blue in the face, only to have them say "sorry, not warranty work". Maybe I'm just getting older & don't wanna deal w/ the bs anymore <shrug>. Like I said I love the car, aside from a few nitpicks here & there. Like why they couldn't make both front windows auto up/down? I digress... Let me know when you wanna meet up sometime Paul, love to get to know the local guys. If you know the town well, we're in the Old Orchard I tract, & you? ttys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a BMW 335 now... the lucky bastage! I actually know exactly where you live. I used to work for a home delivery company, so I drove all over town in my work truck. Saw your car parked in the driveway and knew it had to be Michael's old car. I'm over in Saugus, off Bouquet Canyon, just past Haskell Canyon. As for the clutch install at Yimi, there's always about a 50/50 chance I'll be there hanging out. If I am, I'll be sure to lend a hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, now that's what I needed to hear, err, read, hehe! I just dunno why some of these clutches are crap, even when the car is treated right. Mmmm, yeah that's niiiice. LOL, that's funny! Yeah if it was during the day I was home for lunch. Cool, my brother lives off Bouquet up there too, condos on Susan Beth. Don't worry, I wont be buggin' ya for help doin' the turn signal clearing or the dome light mods! Been there & done that w/ my SE-R. I just wanna get this clucth in & maybe start w/ the catback & ecu. I just emailed Yim today, and will be calling tomorrow to schedule an appt.
