I wish I had a fro like this!  Group: Members Posts: 154 Joined: 9-November 06 From: Keller, TX Member No.: 7,185  |
Guys,
I am looking for a reputable shop on the west side of Dallas to get a performance tune. I need to get my car timed and my carbs synced. I recently bought a 2080 2.0l w/44 Webers and want to get the final tune and sync done on it. Can you recommend a shop that you would bring your car to have this work done? I am fairly new to the area and haven't had to use a shop in the past for any work I have done up to this point. Any information would be great! Thanks! Also, are there any local meets or flea markets coming up that are 914 friendly. I would like to meet some other 914 enthusiasts in the area. Thanks, Doug |

I haven't even met you but I heard that story just 1 month ago and the Maverick Region A/X School (Ed was telling it). Definitely 914 lore material!! |
