I bought a 96 Gst my GF drove it and forgot to check the water the night before. Drove it like that in the morning and it overheated. The engine ####ed up on it. I also have a 97GST and it has crankwalk. Well im tired of this engine bullshit and people trying to overcharge for doing the job 3000 for a engine rebuilt thats too much. Magnus sells em for around 2. I was wondering if i can get numbers to Shops that do 6bolt engine swaps out here in Los angeles and how much they charge on average. I also know where to get the engine my self for 850 but is a jspec if i knew how to drop it in i would do it but i dont. If anyone can get me the number to a good dsm shop out here i would appreciate it. I know RRE but they are always busy and ive been trying to contact em. So any other shops you guys know about help me out and send me there numbers.

Well, there are a few easier ways to get in touch with us rather then trying to call. (Our phones basically don't stop ringing from noon till 7pm) Email us. Or better yet, email the engine building side of us called Road Race Service. Robert Garcia is the engine builder that can get you a 6bolt motor, do the service on it (tbelt, BSE, waterpump, etc) and install it. To be a great deal cheaper, get the motor from one of the many different Japanese engine distributors in socal, buy the parts from Norco Mitsubishi (20% off, talk to Dave) and install them yourself. Very simple to do, see http://www.vfaq.com. If you need help installing the motor, then go ahead and give RRS a call at 562-906-0081 or email him at [email protected].
 
dropping a jspec is easy

and you found one for 850?
must be a real good deal, considering the cheapers they go for is 1500 give or take a little.
 
I know a Mitsu dealer tech that charges really cheap and does work on the side at home, the only catch is he insists on using OEM dealer parts. Located near Azusa in So Cali
