Anyone know of a speed shop around Tacoma? I bought a Ford Explorer ST and I need someone to disassemble the front end and put a new inter cooler on, lower it, an intake, sway bars and blow off valve.
Shop or private, but someone that knows how turbos work is a must. Not Bobbie’s uncle back yard mechanic shop with the 94 integra still waiting for vetch to kick in.  _________________ A long time ago we had empires run by emperors.

A Ford Explorer ST is a "Tuner" Car? Was it made in Japan?

You better not put one of those big, stupid, Fart can mufflers on your "Tuner" Explorer, or I swear I will drive to your place and kick you in the nuts after I lay two wide black stripes in front of your house.

Are you 3.5 or 2.7? The available upgrades vary wildly. It’s um,’limited to say the least. The explorer CAN fuck, but the flex and focus are such better platforms to build from. I hope you’re 3.5. If you are , it’s probably a $25k investment but it CAN do dirty things.

This exercise sounds like putting lingerie on a fat chick.

Car show this weekend at Griot's in Tacoma. Probably lots of people there who may know local shops.

If Borla or Corsa are fart cans, then yes. This is what I’m planning……… So much hate asking for a shop or someone that works on cars. Not like there are any hot rod shops anymore. Things are disappearing, just try to buy salted peanuts in the shell. Things don’t exist anymore, and we don’t even know it.

Yeah, it is a shame all the Hotrod shops are gone. All the parts places were killed off by Internet buying.
Blood enterprises in Auburn WA. I haven't done business with them, but that's work they would do. https://bloodenterprises.com/ _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.
