I've been living in MN for the last 5 years and STILL haven't found anyone I'd feel comfortable working on my car. I do my own stuff most of the time but sometimes there's only so much you can do without a lift and a compressor.
Anyone got any good recomendations for someone in the twin cities metro?
I've got a former CSP now EM (due to ZC swap) crx that needs a little love.
Thanks

OHV in Eden Prairie specializes in Honda/Acura.
http://www.ohvmotors.com/
They have been around forever, and know the ins and outs of stock AND modified Hondas.
The only place we bring our cars.

You could likely run SM2 as well depending on how much interior you left in it. If it would be SP legal yet, without the swap you'd be good to go in SM2.
No need for slicks then just some fatty R comps

Where are you located and how far are you willing to drive?

hey hey, settle down murph!
I'm right in the heart of mpls. I'm originally from milwaukee, but it's unrealistic to drive down there everytime I need some work done.
OHV looks right up my alley. Thanks for the link.
SM2 definately sounds like its a lot more reasonable than E mod. I'll have to look into the rule books about that.
Thanks for the help guys!!

I'll put in another vote for OHV. Good guys that know Hondas inside & out and are mod-friendly.

oh, I forgot, if you want a place that's a little closer, I always brought my civic to dynotech/hondaworks in st paul. Tim runs his own shop and is insanely trustworthy. I can't tell you the number of times he's told me "well I could do it for you, or you could go to the parts store and get this simple little thing..." His two specialties are hondas and hot rods. He knows autocross and knows how to tune an engine, and he's got a dyno, though I don't think he spends much of his time tuning hondas.
If you tell him I sent ya he'll probably say "oh, Maaattt....."
