Recommend a workshop in Melbourne

[jenova]

hi all, I am a honda newbie from melbourne. I just bought a header for my teg 8) and I am looking for a workshop to install them for me.

can u guys recommend some workshops that is familiar with honda cars and charge a reasonable price, oh and do a good job as well? Preferably the ones that u have personal experience.

[jenova]

No one mod their cars here? :(

You could try ART who have done a lot of Honda's. There are heaps of workshops out there, most decent exhaust places will be able to fit the headers as it isn't that hard. You just need to be careful when setting up a full exhaust system and if isn't designed properly you will end up losing power not gaining.

[accordpwr]

exhaust shops should be able to do the job just as good and cheaper as well.

Where abouts in Melbourne are you jenova???

[jenova]

I just wanted to bring to places where they have experience in honda cars. I know any exhaust shop should be able to do it but it will be good if someone have positive experience with any workshop and willing to share them here.

BTW, I am in city area but I am willing to travel to get a good service. And how much it usually cost for installing header?

PS: is ART in Fairfield area?

We have a wide range of aftermarket exhaust systems and we also fabricate our own systems using 304 grade stainless steel with professional TIG welding. Installtation shouldnt be a problem if thats what your looking for.

If your are interested if your car has made any performance gain, we could arrange a before and after power run of your vehicle on our DynoLogic Dyno.

I 2nd CKY's suggestion of Mark Cravino @ 'Bay Road Exhaust'.... he's been servicing my car for just over a year now and does a great job!! :D

Just to ram home what CKY said - Mark.C was a mechanic on GTP driver Dave Woods' 2000 ITR, his 2001 S2K and his 2002 WRX STi.... so he certainly knows what he is doing and how to 'tweak' them (engine, supsension etc) well. 8)

Tell him RB1 and RB2 (his nicknames for us = Rice Boy 1&2).... recommended you from a Honda website and I'm sure he'll look after you guys.

I recommend Adrian from Razz Tech Performance in Thomastown, He built my car, and many other race street car’s, and currently holds the title for building the fastest Honda in Victoria (my car), Adrian has the best welding ability iv ever seen, both tig mig oxy and arch stainless steel or mild steel, he’s totally flexible, and his engineering side of his work is always extreme, his family has been involved in the f1 racing scene for years with his dad a ex mclaren f1 engineer and mechanic, so he comes highly recommended in the racing scene I would never trust anyone else with my car.

ive found that ART are pretty expensive now, you can find places that do the same stuff cheaper now.

Yer how much are Razz also?

I was told 800-900 labour alone for a 1" lowering job so Id hate to imagine what thier services are gonna cost.....We dont know the guy like you do BLKCRX, so I doubt we would be getting your prices....:)
