It moved to somewhere around Parker which is too far for me. You can read about it on coloradoracing.net

Does anyone know of any good, trustworthy shops in Colorado? Need to get a metal head gasket installed. Thanks
I'm assuming you mean the whole shebang with decking the block & head etc.? I honestly don't trust a single shop in this state and have my primary built engine in pieces (currently have stock bottom end spare engine in car) as I decide whether or not to spend the couple hundred on machining and bearings or just sell it and go 1J/2J. I would seriously consider shipping the engine to a resputable "7M knowledgable" shop out of state. Hell, I know of two shops in Denver that have destroyed a 2JZ.

Look for Gunn automotive in Denver for the machine work. He does Race Yamaha motors personally and has done my work. AMS up north kinda sucks.

Might be moving out there since I had a job offer Im thinking about.
If so, there will be a good engine builder in Co. :icon_bigg
I will have to warn you, that if you ever visit Colorado, you will want to stay permanently.

Quick question.

What will I need to pass inspectios out there?
The main cat but what about the one in dp?

Any other no-no's I should be aware about?

Im probably gonna register it at my Mothers place in teller county. No inspections there. But might since out of state initially.

Im not gonna worry right now, need to make sure jobs gonna work. Plus I still have my house here, which I wont get rid of for a year or so.

If you don't lie in a metro area thn you shouldn't hae to do anything other than just register. Safety inspection with a trooper won't likely care about 1 cat vs 2.

What's up with your 1j wiring? It might be worth it to contact Dr. Tweak of tweaked performance here on the forum.

It was ghetto rigged fromt he beginning and I'm trying to make it right. Dr tweak wants a crazy amount of money for any job. Guy I'm building it for is looking to spend around 400.00.

I'm looking for a gray dash in good condition and possibly the carpet if you got them. I'm willing to trade parts if you need anything.

I'm getting rid of my blue interior if anyone is interested. Front seat are cloth and in great condition. And I still have a 7MGTE head and block dirt cheap if there are any takers.

Check my FS thread too for a lot of stock and performance parts. I need the room back in my garage so I'm willing to make some deals.

does anyone have a differential for sale? i got a 90 turbo with tems that needs a new one, and what differentials would you recommend?
If you want your speedo to be somewhat accurate then you'll need a 3.73 (assuming your car came turbo from the factory and same tranny)
