CA SoCal Shop That Specializes in First Gens

Bought an 85 GS from a dude in El Sereno about 6 weeks ago. It runs really rough and rich at idle, smokes at high RPM when I release the throttle, and has some suspension issues. I was wondering if any of you guys could point me in the direction of a shop that can diagnose my issues. I tried searching on the forum but couldn't find anything. The two I know of are DNA and Angel Motorsports from Instagram and one SCAR meet. I'm in the Orange County area so anything close to Anaslime would be a major plus.
Thanks
Austin

Neptune Speed seems to be where everyone in OC goes. This is mostly for FD's.

There is also Gazo up in Duarte at Lucky 7.

Angel Motorsports would be my first recommendation, I hear nothing but good things about them.

Hey,

Is the car in the pic under your user the car you purchased? If it is I know the guy you bought it from. You should attend the next SCAR toy drive meet. I will be there we can take a look at it before you take it to any shop. It can maybe be something that you can fix yourself. DM me on IG my SN is aeenox, I can help you out.
