I wish I had known 2 years ago.


A question though, do they deal with getrag transmissions or have a dyno? I am buying a Supra soon that will need a tranny rebuild and has a AEM EMS. That would be great if they could give me a price estimate to see what I am looking at.

Thanks,
Francis

I see, it is extremely difficult to find tuning shops for imports around Michigan, much less a place that will rebuild a getrag.

I don't plan on keeping the AEM-EMS, I will most likely switch to a stock ECU but the auto tranny is dead. Does the guy you got through in Waterford have any expierence with Supras or rebuilding Toyota auto tranny's......??!

aha... does he have an aftermarket bumper as well?
I think I saw him again today too.

Big, bald/shaved guy...right?
I was driving past him and he seemed busy sorting something in his car.
This was South U again, in front of Ulrich's
