Marin county Honda shops

Post by audipwr1 » Fri Aug 05, 2022 7:30 pm

So I tore a tendon in my wrist and need some help finishing up the car

Anyone have a recommendation in Marin county or SF that is reliable / detailed oriented

Need bushings and shocks done to finish up the car

The most difficult part in this ask is, "reliable / detailed oriented."

My first reaction is if you can pull the arms off, ask Kingpin Machine if you can pay them to swap bushings. Kingping has already dialed in the process to remove bold bushings, no easy feat, and you would satisfy the reliable and detailed oriented ask. However, it requires pulling the bits and shipping, but my guess it will still be cheaper than Marin rates and satisfy the quality control ask.

I was thinking about that same move

Worry how much pain I’ll be in after pulling the stuff off the car but maybe just have to go super slow vs try to find someone good here

What is your replacement list? The (more) difficult items to pull are the front balljoints, UCA's and LCA's, and the rear trailing arms. There is an old trick for the balljoints that works well and doesn't require your hands.

My work schedule is ramping up this month but I could possibly lend a hand next month.

Was thinking of doing all bushings - have the full spoon set

Then new wheels studs up front to use 10mm spacer

Then the ground control install

Did you source a set of non ITR LCA’s? Since that is needed for the GC coilovers. I’m looking for a set myself. Any leads would be helpful.

Thanks!

Yup, they made some custom for my buddy's 300hp VR6 Mk1 Rabbit (stupid). My best friend was the manager there for 15 years, good dudes. They are not too far from me and the owner is into Cosworths too!
