I walked in there one day and said i wanted a built, stroked v6 motor with turbo bolted on, he basically said 'theres no point, im not interested', just that has turned me right off him.. Looks and sounds the goods, but imo, not worth the hassle..

Eddy is right there is no point....for the $$$ you spend there are much better ways to spend your money and instead of taking your money he was honest with you and straight to the point.......put in an ls1 and be done with it

07-06-08, 17:55 GMT+10#27 There are some good shops in Perth who all have their loyal fans that will say go to this one not to that one etc.
At the end of the day go somewhere YOU are happy with, after doing research like ringing each shop, speaking to the people there, going into the workshop to have a look / ask questions, looking on the LS1 forum to look at timeslips / dyno printouts / various threads etc. Everyone swears by who they swear by and there will always be someones mate or whatever who 'got dodged' by a shop that someone mentions. I personally would not go to a few of the workshops mentioned above because we (my family and I) had one which totally stuffed up on a motor install in one of our cars and cost a lot of money to rectify it and another shop in which I had the workshop car try to race me on the freeway and proceeded to drive like a total idiot endangering other drivers, but that is my right and I stick with the workshop who have produced the results for me any many other customers. Good customer service goes a long way. Go to who YOU feel comfortable with to work on YOUR car, but do heaps of research first. Then you have made an informed choice.
