UbiquitousCandor Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Guys, moved to Houston 2 years ago now and just added another LGT to the family. I previously had one when I lived in NY but now that I'm here I'd like to find a tuned friendly mechanic who isn't going to void my extended warranty while trying to help me figure out what is going on with my car. Anyone know if Gillman is mod friendly or any places in the metro that can help? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandborn Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Gillman is mod friendly... Kozmic motorsports is who I'm going to for modding and tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfBadBoy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hey island, what's the pricing like at kozmic, and why'd u choose them over Jtran? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandborn Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hey island, what's the pricing like at kozmic, and why'd u choose them over Jtran? Only reason was that a bunch of NASIOC guys suggested and gave him props. He's close to me too so that helped. I've heard good things about Jtran too. Price-wise I thought was fair and upfront. You can pull up their prices on their website if you want. I previously drove to Plano for Cobb to work on my car... just sooooo far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfBadBoy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 no shizzle--cobb waaaaayyyy too far.....I'm over in Spring @ Kuykendahl and 2920, and have just finished putting on my coilovers and front strut brace. Now its time for power upgrades since the handling department is covered. I have been considering doing it at Jtran, but haven't been by these folks yet. I will have to check them out when i get back into town next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandborn Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I spend most my time around Kuykendahl and 2920 and Louetta! My swim team trains out of the Klein High Schools and I coach out of the pool in Spring Creek Oaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanatech Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Any one know a reputable shop that can change my timing belt for me? Would rather not take it to the dealership based off quotes i received and what other people here were saying. Emailed awd tuning in flower mound and never received a reply back. Had a couple people flake out on my that have done it before. I have the timing belt kit already from fred beans and would prefer it if i didn't have to buy a kit from the shop. Thanks.

MiniStiGuy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I've been needing to do mine as well. Now I'm at 140k miles.. Like you I don't feel $1,000 is a fair price for doing it which is what the dealers all quoted me. I'm over this car though so I will just drive it until it goes or until I get rid of it.

Zanatech Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 yeah, id like to say that as well. It's also more of a can't pay 1k versus desire to. Got an interview sometime next week hopefully (through an acquaintance) might just say yolo after i have it and attempt to do it myself. but for now its my only car left lol. I am looking to buy a house so the last thing i really need is to throw a car payment on top of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah I have been thinking of picking up a cheap car or bike so that I can have something else to get around on and can just do it myself over time. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
