$65 for a helms service book, will show you everything you need to know step by step.

if something goes bad, if your own fault.

however, I do know both of them and are good in what they do.

i've only met both of them, but alot of my friends know both of them.

each have there pro's and con's

i've bought shit from neil for really good prices, but when i asked him for a quote on a swap, it was higher than anyone else. maybe he does better work? unfortunately i do not know anyone who will pay for his work, its a little overpriced.

all i ever hear from my friends is, colin, colin, colin. only heard good shit, except for what cronic said. i've also heard that hes an asshole to you unless he knows you.

personally if you're looking to get a swap, go to secret services. they're not overpriced and they're not assholes.

colin and neil, i hope that didnt make you guys mad, just lettin them know what i heard.

I've known both for years and I am always torn. I think both of these guys are super folk and they both do great work. In the end, it's up to your preference. Meet them both, ask them questions, then decide. It is all about confidence in your mechanic. In my experience, Colin has always been easier to ask questions of, without him messing with you too much. Although, Neal S. has become better at dealing with possible customers than before. Honestly, I take work to both of them, because I support the privateer, seriously! These guys are both really good at what they do. Hope this helps. -Neilspeed

Neal = N/A
Colin = Forced Induction

I am going N/A so far, so i have dealt with Neal quite a few times and he does excellent work, and once he gets to know someone his prices aren't so bad. I will say he is a bit arrogant but so many people look at him like he is a God that it probably just went to his head. But he knows his shit! I have not dealt with Colin i have only heard that he is the one to goto for forced induction.

Colin came down to Moroso and impressed me and my Cybernation Boys...I came to Tampa and I give my time and business to TK at ZMRacin...

I do alot of work for others as well as myself but I leave the specialized tasks to specialists and I feel that those people are far more advanced technicians in their field than any of us Privateers...

Check out TK at zmracin@yahoo.com

Colin is a great guy he swapped my ITR in my HB. Dont bug the guy, get on his nerves, or give him the wrong impression. If you go in there and say i need a motor swap done cause i want to go FAST!!! he will look at you and prolly tell u to go somewhere else cause he dosent need ppl like that. Honestly i have never heard of Neil as for Secret Services i dont know where youve been but they went out of buissnes along time ago. I will say that Colin had my car for over 3 weeks but it was not his fault considering his parts guy sucked ass.
