I have never been in the place but i live about a mile away from there.There always seems to be nice cars there.Its the only place i have ever saw a skyline in DE.Steve Kan comes there to tune RX7s some times.I dont belive they do repair work, I think they just do upgrades and tuneing on import cars.I plan to put my car on the dyno there in a few months.I want to see if i can get more than 400 rwhp in my LS1/FC.

Like everyone has said, these guys do very good work and take their time on cars to make sure everything is done right. I have known the owners of CarV2 for around six years now probably more, I dunno.
What kind of work are you looking to have done? While Very good CarV2 might not take your car depending on the kind of work you'd like done, but it can't hurt to stop by. If you're looking to have maintenance work done to your car and whatnot then Stokedxiv and I should be able to take care of you. You can ask just about anyone who posted in this thread, they'll all agree that we're capable of almost any job.
But like I said stop on by CarV2 and see what they have to say, I might stop by since I work right across the street from them.

-Highflyin,
I don't think the VR 7 is on the forums. I've talked to him a few times as well as the dude who owns the ORANGE Rx-7 :cringe: . I only live about a mile from CarV2 also, over by Ferris...but not IN ferris

Edit:
If you go to the news stand and check out the new Tubo magazine you'll see the white TT 350Z owned by CarV2 in the magazine. I believe the car put down around 675 ft-lbs of torque at 25psi, but my figures are always wrong...so go check the magazine for the right numbers

I was wondering when that car's feature was going to come out... and DAMN that's a lot of torque! How much hp they make outta that beast??

Re: Scub and Stokedxiv, yea they do TOP NOTCH work, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you drop by 'em. I know they've helped me out w/ my FD PLENTY a time

I usually don't check the NE section unless I'm organizing a tuning session for Steve, or someone directs me to a post that I might be able to help someone with. In this case I think you can figure out how I came into this thread.
You may have seen me or Stokedxiv around DE...I drive a silver FD and Charlie drives a CYM with polished wheels.

have you asked them if they would do a tune up on your car? If you want to save a few bucks we can take care of ya. But if you're more comfortable with CarV2 then by all means they are more then capable.

awww, thanks Austin.
I was actually over at CarV2 today, and I didn't want to post anything before, but they said they would probably refer you to me anyway.

Bring the car to Scrub, he'll get the car sorted properly. One look at his FD and you'll know you went to the right guy
