San Antonio Tuning Shops?
Hello, All!
This is my first post on evolutionm.net, as I come from an STi background. Although I recently totaled my 2005 STi, I picked up a black 2006 Evo IX Special Edition.
Are there any shops local, or fairly local, to San Antonio that can install coilovers, gauges, etc? I know about MZM up in Austin, but I don't feel like driving an hour to have coilovers installed.
I look forward to more research and posting more on this site!

Hey nice choice in ride... I have an STi Stage 2. When it comes to shops in SA I personally recommend Precision R... they are a tuning, suspension, aesthetics, etc... shop that does good work. Talk to ( Will ) and let him know that Alex and Alvaro sent you.

Mitsu Clutch Shops in/around San Antonio???
The stock clutch on my Evo IX is slipping like crazy. Can anybody recommend Evo-friendly or Mitsu-knowledgeable CLUTCH shops in San Antonio?
I see that Precision R is closed until 3 Dec 07--I'm not sure my clutch can wait that long, as it's slipping pretty badly after 3000-3500 rpms.
I tried to get some kind of warranty coverage (I bought an extended, very pricey "mechanical coverage" warranty when I bought my 2006 Evo IX used (with 10k miles)) at Lonestar Mitsubishi, but looks like I'm not covered at all for a fried clutch, by anybody. I'm also not going to pay $1500-1700 to have the uber-sh!tty, OEM Mitsu clutch replaced w/ a stock, crappy part. I might as well replace the flywheel, while I'm at it.
Any kind of help or recommendations for clutch shops would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If i were you i'll wait for a few days for them, i would not try any other shop in san antonio. If you would like to wait, i can ask them to put you in for monday and push their other schedule work behind just for you.
Anyway, have you got the clutch and flywheel yet?

I DO NOT have the clutch & fw yet. I'm trying to decide on something that won't financially destroy me, something that will last decidedly longer than the OEM Evo clutch, etch. I'm searching the vendor threads, as well as various parts sites I know of.
Thanks!!!

Hey! If you could get me put on their schedule for Monday, that'd be AWESOME! I have a ton of questions for prices on various installs.

If you want something that last, just get an ACT heavy duty pressure plate with street disk. It'll probably last you longer than anything clutch available out there within that price range, your best bet is to PM some vendor here that carry ACT clutches.
You need to have the clutch with you before i can schedule you in, so everything will be in and out within a day. They will be pushing all other jobs behind just for the evom guys and they are an extremely busy shop.
I'll PM you my number so you can contact me when you get your clutch and i can schedule in from there.
