I'm fairly new to LA and live in an apartment (mid-wilshire) so I was wondering if there are anyone here who could help me work on my car if you have a garage or even a drive way, or even in my parking lot if you aren't too far away.

Specifically: I need to replace my front brakes, so I bought some cross-drilled ones from ECS Tuning along with Akebono pads, oh and brake fluid flush while I'm at it I guess. I am somewhat mechanically inclined, as I worked on fighter jets in the Air force but never changed car brakes before so I wanted to see if there are fellow enthusiasts around the LA area who I could meet and greet and help each other out. I will compensate you of course. I could just pay a shop to work on the car but I like the satisfaction of working on it myself, within reason of course.

TL;DR
I could use a help working on my car in LA area. lol

Thank you in advance.

Hi Shaun!

There's a small group of us who go cruising in the SM mountains quite a bit. On my last S2000 I did a Brembo BBK Install with a buddy. Not sure I'd be much help but could try. Also there are some decent shops in the area that do mostly BMW's. Jonnie@Superformance in west LA is good. Also Blown95ImpalaSS knows a good shop in Glendale

Yeah I used to have an ap1 S2k as well! It was a fun car but a little too small and unrefined lol.

I've been hunting for a good shop too. I did stop by Ikonic auto in Los Feliz (I think) a while back but still I prefer working on the cars myself if possible. I'll look into them.

I would like to meet the LA crew sometime

Wait I'm not entirely sure how this works. Lol

God I wish I could find the end of these maintenance related repairs. Injectors, HPFP now... FML. On the bright side, 3rd party warranty still active for a couple more months so I'll milk what I can with the $200 deductible.

I just realized you were looking for a smog shop, Superformance doesn't do smog. It's just maintenance if you need repairs to pass smog.

joeinsd · 08-04-2017, 10:34 PM

^Not sure that's info you want to publicly post....

Hi all, anyone in socal have the Carly app and adapter and could code a couple things for me? Specifically the digital speedometer and the startup light check disable. I'd pay you for your time whatever you think is fair.
