whats wrong with the mr2? u sure u wouldnt want to try taking it to Apet, they may not have all the qualifications that turbo shop guys have but they do seem to take a genuine interest in their customers cars

i had my build done by craig wadsworth when he was at the turbo shop... when he left i followed him to each business he worked at for all servicing etc. He now has his own engineerin workshop out in Green Island with all the goods... enjoys working on cars and does a great job of what he does and can fabricate most things on site if need be.... thinks his number is 4884307 off top of my head for at work is located by the back entrance to otago scrap metals... Scholtz and mike at the turbo shop are good mechanics i know when i had my car there it was something like 8 weeks it was there ... took longer than i wanted but at least it was good build

Finding a good mech is always a difficult thing. I personally do most of my work myself or with my cousin etc. But then when its beyond myself you really have to shop around but the main thing is trust. Man I wish i had the cash to open a good workshop with dyno here in dunedin. I would love to spend all day tuning cars =]
