I was considering it but Its my only car.

Gizmo_S13 · 12-21-2012, 12:45 AM

LOL, take it to Pit Garage.

bardabe · 12-21-2012, 01:46 PM

i can take care of it no problem, turn around depends on the options, but i can do a swap with working AC and everything turn around is usually a week or less from the point i receive both the car and the SR going in

future · 12-21-2012, 01:51 PM

Animal auto

babyjesus · 12-21-2012, 03:12 PM

I can 100% back up Juan at bardabe. Man knows his stuff and doesn't bullshit when it comes to customer service. He usually answers his phone via text or voice and if there is an issue he brings it up like a real shop is supposed to. With the knowledge and his personal experience with various SR's, RB's, and VG's (im sure more) I would HIGHLY recommend Juan

, GL Rob!

Banana_Cute · 01-04-2013, 09:46 AM

$3200 For a redtop swap?

I think Pit garage does $2500 for the same swap.

skysilvias13 · 01-06-2013, 10:12 PM

That is a crazy price for an intermediate swap. If your somewhat mechanically inclined I'd research and do it your self. While your there do what i did and hook up AC as well as clean up dash wires and wire tuck. Time consuming but worth it.

im going to pick up a wiring specialties harness since my motor didnt come with a harness.

im sort of thinking of doing it myself but like every project nothing goes as planned and id need my car running asap.

I can vouch for Juan over at bardabe
Hooked me up with my ka to SR swap
With working a/c for commuter/street car
Fast, reputable, easy communication

Don't go to animal ....super shady wiring is like a blind person did it you take it there trust you'll be back for some serious problems they introduced to your car..

dori91borofc · 05-28-2013, 11:09 PM

I can also vouch for Animal Auto. They stand by their work and its quality work. I took my car over to replace a seized speed sensor on my transmission. They did not overcharge or change the price. They removed my RB25 trans, took care of seized sensor and while they had the case open they replaced a bearing that was damaged. Andrew went out of his way to obtain a bearing from the dealer so I can get the car back at the time they had promised. My car is leak free, speed sensor works, and transmission feels a lot better now. I would recommend anyone to them.

dori91borofc · 05-28-2013, 11:11 PM

KingofKings has no credibility. They just opened their acct and just talk trash.

I highly recommend Animal Auto or Bardabe Performance. Ive had work done by both and they stand by their work. Its great quality.

Edwin562 · 05-28-2013, 11:27 PM

Animal Auto is my choice... Andrew is legit...

Never been to animal auto but they seem to get mixed reviews. Although Edwin is legit so I'd believe him.
