    He used to work solo boosting cars. He turbo's his IS300 and built Ankur's blue turbo IS300. He has done a bunch of other stuff. Right now I am not sure about what he's doing specifically since he has starting the shop around the time I was moving to Dallas. It is a really clean setup though.

    Not sure.

    It is down the street from the old Euro Tech. He does everything from general maintenance, to motor builds. He has done work on Mr2, Subaru, is300, supra, m3, 335, prelude, integra, 300c, corvette, mercedes, vw, S2000, RX7 to name a few.

    It would be really cool if he carried affordable helmets (G-Force for example), gloves, shoes, and stuff like racing fluids. I don't know anywhere around here to buy stuff like that. I'm about to order a bunch of stuff online because I can't find it local. :( I'm trying to find somewhere that has it in stock...

    If there is enough demand for it, then he will start to carry it in stock. We can talk about it that weekend if you want, or just pm me with what you are looking for.

    They are going to charge $50 per dent.

    $100 for total car clean up. (walk around the car and take the small dings out).


    $175 for a tint job. (If we have a lot of participation the price will go down to $150)

    They can go as dark as you want on the tint.

    We will also raffle off one free tint job, free door dings, one free car detail, free oil changes, and free hours of labor!!!

    1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for the car show will also receive prizes.

    I work directly next door to this shop (I park for work where the gathering will be) and he has already done a couple of jobs on my WRX, so I can at least attest to the quality of his suspension work.
    He swapped out the front struts and installed an Anti-lift kit, all for a VERY reasonable price. Also, I went in one day and he was able to do the install the next day. I dropped the car off and it was done within an hour. Quick, good price, good work. I can't ask for more.

    I can't vouch for any of his tuning yet. But I definitely respect his knowledge of cars in general and his energy - the guy must live off of monster drinks or something. :cool:

    Edit: Oh, and I'll be there as well. there is a gun show right down the road on the same day that I have to go to as well.

    Do you know if by chance Vishal Patel is from Peachtree City? I realize they're both common names but I knew a guy with that name back in HS.

    We found out about tunerfest after we had already started putting our event together. We knew that the people who would come to our event would have a blast, so we figured it would be ok.
