I took my Z to JTran Studios and I was very satisfied. They are a good group of guys, very knowledgeable and helpful. I brought them my Motordyne ARTs and XYZ. They did the install and an UpRev Tune. The car runs and sounds awesome. I will go back soon for a Trans cooler, Oil cooler, and Transgo install.

I've got tons of engine bling and inside bling, and need a place I can trust that won't have some employee rip off my seats/stereo and also respect all the ARC $hit under the hood and not damage/scratch anything...
Hi, Come by the shop silly we havent seen you in years! You havent met the little man either!!!!!!!!! I wanna meet V5!

Of course we have experience with Transgo all day Doing one as we speak! We do plenty of the transgo kit installs they are time consuming but a great mod for any auto trans! We also do full trany builds with torque converter upgrades and all Hit me up!

Default Awesome guy!

took the car to latromi to get the master/slave clutch cylinder changed, and changed clutch fluid. Clint did an AWESOME JOB in great time too. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs some work done that either doesn't have the time to do it or doesn't know how to. I'll definitely be going to him again for other maintenance things.

thanks again Clint, I really appreciate it!

Just came from Stereo Efx off I-45 & West Rd. Got my touch screen, 4 new speakers, subs & amp with night vision camera all hooked up. Very clean install for a very decent price. I bring all of my cars there for tint and this is my second system I've gotten installed there. I don't mind vouching for there work if you live on the Northside and need anything installed. Just make sure you make an appointment. They are always busy

Deviate Autosport is pretty good. They do a lot of things. Wrapping is big there. Just no motor builds or dyno.

Just wanted to share two great experiences with Tony at Deviate Motoring in Houston. He help me with the purchase of my HRE P43SC wheels for my 2003 Nissan 350Z. And just yesterday I placed an order for a set of Forgeline MD3P wheels for my 2012 Infiniti G37S. He has helped numerous customers with getting wheels for their; Vipers, Vettes, Camaros, Lambo's, Ferrari's, and GT-R's to name a few.

So if you're in the market for some wheels give him a holler! He sells the following;

360 Forged, ADV.1, Axiom, Bespoke, Bonspeed, Boze Alloys, Cor Forged, D2 Forged, DPE, Fikse, Forgeline, Forgestar, HRE, iForged, Modulare, Modular Concept, Nutek, Rushforth, System Forged

I just replaced the driver's side motor on my 2004. it's pretty easy if you are interested in saving some money. I used the DIY guide on this site.

That's funny you said that. I actually used my smartphone to record each section of work and where I placed the screws amd parts. It really helped. You can do it.

If you decide not to do it yourself, checkout Sal's Autosport on the NW side. I've also had great service with them.
