Default New to Oahu, need TN kit install.

Hey, I just got here and I'd like to find somewhere I can get an TN STK and have it installed.
I'm also thinking about a brake upgrade, clutch + flywheel, maybe some minor body work.
Anybody, let me know where would be good place to go.
Thanks

Additionally if there are some local things going on, I'd be in.
Andy

Let me be the first to say welcome There are a few places to go. Sonic Motorsports, Vakaman and Hypersport. I would go to Sonic but it's my preference. As for body work I think GX auto if a good place but I am waiting to do my bodywork cause the roads in Hawaii suck and I have a lot of rock chips from H1 and H2

New to Hawaii? Is it just me, or shouldn't your main concern not be your car, but getting your white *** to the beach?

You can talk to me at Sonic. Our phone number is 845-1192. Anything you need done mechanically I'm the one to see. :-) I'll be out of the shop till tuesday though. Recovering, I was a bit sick over the weekend.

Yeah Sonic's is definately my prefrence too. Been sticking with them for the past year or so. They will get you done right. They are easy to find if you need directions Seth or myself can get you directions.

Cant help you with the body work deal.

There is a Toys for Tots thing thats going on next weekend check out the thread. I'm planning on going if I get my car back in time


Welcome to the island man.

sonics is def the place to go. they're the place that other "tuner" shops call when they need help with an install. seth is def the man to talk to. as for the body work, GX auto is where I go. they do a lot of custom and high end work and will usually give you a good price. they're in the phone book, just ask for mike. tell him toby with the orange Z sent you if anything. I've also heard good things about JL autobody. I'd still strongly recommend a clear bra here. meet and greets are few and far between since there isn't a strong club presence but the toys for tots thing seems promising.

what do you guys think of the Tommy Kaira kit?? I think it might be alright as long as there is an intercooler fillin some of that big open space.
Have any of you seen one in person, or seen any good pics?
