For anyone else, I would give them the switches, but since you think I am a dick, the price for you is $100 each - I wouldn't want to spoil my image.

I'm right up from Totem Lake...seen a decent red 2nd Gen in the area.
I recently checked out Speedware Motorsports in Redmond...seems they do alignments and brakes- anybody had any work done there, or ordered anything through them?

I'm always around the Totem Lake area, go to schucks fairly often, RadioShack right there, Napa, Muffler King, etc. I have a red 2nd gen, might be me heh.

I live by Ingelmoore HS and am always putting around in the Juanita/Totem Lake area.

Yeah, must've been yours then. I checked out your page...do you have the intake piping and adapter for the setup in your pics? If so, I'd be interested getting one and I'm also looking for a cold airbox. I'll probably see you around...

I can make them easily. I've made 3 setups now, two for 13b 2nd gen N/A's with stock manifolding, and one with a 13b and custom manifolding that had the exit on the opposite (driver's) side. For the custom manifold setup I relocated the battery as well and ran the piping to where the battery used to be.

These intake setups are rather easy to make and can be custom built depending on your setup or desired setup.

I've heard that it's easy- I'm looking for intake piping and the box that seals to the hood. Think i have have seen pictures on the forum but I would prefer if someone has what I need locally. I'm rather bloody with handling sheet metal myself...

Yah, I'm not sure about cold air boxes, as I never build those myself.

The units I build are true cold air intakes that have the filter sitting outside of the engine bay, usually right next to the headlight motor.

Thanks for the info- I've been looking for some parts and was thinking of getting an alignment there after finishing my suspension swap. I don't like the idea of greasy hands touching my car, but with performance techs I'd feel safer (Had my share of bad experiences)

I was there until 2 years ago. Speedware? I got my FC corner balanced and aligned there. Good people. Bought driving gloves there, too. Back in May I was passing through the area. I stopped by there to buy some driving shoes.

Story about the shoes : Back on the 18th I was at the local monthly gymkhana over here there was this other guy with the SAME shoes. He asked me where I bought them and I told him Speedware in America. Redmond, WA to be exact. Well, it turns out he bought them from Speedware, too. But he got them online. Hmmm....small world.

I'm planning on getting alignment done at Speedware as soon as my car is finished. Whats nice is that they give you a race alignment. It's an average price of about $90 or so for all the alignment. Basically like a reg alignment shop.

Hmmm, I might need to go to them once I have money again. I've needed an alignment for like... 6 months now haha. At least that was when I put the coilovers, poly bushings, camber adjusters, etc all on and have no idea if everything is in the right position or not anymore

Good Replies, Thanks!- Hopefully I'll be headed there soon... Still waiting on some parts to arrive from Racing Beat...
The guy at Speedware also told me he could get good prices on Momo equipment (Only saw Sparco wheels), but I'm thinking online shopping probably is cheaper.
