Automotive Import Performance Garage (gated, shops, cars)

[KABRONA]

Alright, here is my question to the community. I am going to be doing an engine swap in a Lexus SC300 and need someone with experience to do it. Any reputable shops in the area that anybody knows about? Thanks in advance.

Can't help ya with a shop but I've got to ask.... What are you installing? Maybe a big single turbo Supra motor

I'm getting a 1jzgtte from a soarer in Japan and dropping that in. Then later on, I will go single turbo on that motor. Sounds like you know a little about cars? For the life of me I can't find a good garage. Lots of Honda fanboys, but no Toyota guys around.

A little, and some of that is Toyota (no Honda at all in these veins though).. My 1980 Celica was my start when she was new (dating myself here)... 22r, header, cam'ed, dual side drafts, custom suspension and a short throw close ratio out of the same rear Supra... Now I'm relegated to a TC daily driver, has TRD suspension but nothing on the motor yet... Still can't accept FWD ether.... Good luck with the Soarer Swap, should be very cool when done.... come to think of it there's a real RHD Soarer that frequents La Cantera, love that body style especially when they're squatted down just right.

try Nelsons Performance, they are pretty reputable. I tuned my cars there, they moslty to trucks, but one of their techs drives a Lexus and has it pretty fixed up
