I would LOVE to see a shop that is a DSM shop. Hell they don't exist in the middle of the country I guess.
Its my shop or NO SHOP for me on these machines. Just gotta understand them and know them. Everytime I think I've seen it all, a new one says "Have you seen this siht yet???"

Whalen Speed also.

They are in Southern California, so it shouldn't be too far for him.

If you guys can wait about 10 years I'll have my very own DSM speed shop in Reno, first people to book with me get a free full-on service and tune up!

I wouldn't suggest owning a DSM unless you can do 95% of the work yourself. These cars almost always need an incredible amount of attention and you will go broke paying for labor much less parts.

I asked this same question years ago. Then, when I discovered how much people charge for labor (and with me being a college kid) I took my own nuts, borrowed a crap ton of tools, and did my own work on the dirt alley behind my place . It was miserable, yes, but damn has it made me proud.

However, I haven't done anything crazy like pulling the block or anything. You'd need a garage for that sort of thing. I don't need homeless people steeling bits and pieces just to hoard for who knows what reason .

As for the work needed done so far what I have found is a really bad power steering leak from the return hose and don't know if I should de power or fix the leak. I also found an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold with a stud that's broken at the block.. My car is a stick fwd turbo. I'm sure most if not all of this I can do but just wanted to see if there were options out there for a reputable shop for these cars.
