I need to find either a person or a shop that does good quality work that isn't gonna charge me the 90 bucks an hour the dealer does. I just need just an all around place....any help u guys could give would be appreciated.

I'd even take a person who knew what they were doing who could either help or show me how to do the easy stuff myself. I'm willing to pay someone for their help with at least some free pizza and beer LOL

I believe - IIRC - u asked this question here b4 and the thing is: I don't believe there's such a thing as a good mechanic - at least not in my case when the car is modified - since many CEGers arrived at the thorough knowledge about their cars just by trial and error and advice from other CEGers thru the years. Now, even the so-called racing/motorsport facilities - most of them know Civics, Integras, and Eclipses but are absolutely unfamiliar with our cars. Besides they charge you these rediculously high bux and still u are not sure what their level of expertise/honesty is. I would say your best bet would be finding a CEGer in NJ - or more realistic in Bucks county/Eastern PA and try your luck with him/them. If you find one - PM me as well. MY CAR
