Anyone know about R1Motorsports??
I have been thinking of doing the TT swap on my 93. I have been talking to him back and forth and before i move forward with doing this swap i wanna see if people would recommend him doin the swap. If you worked with him on something and if he did motor work for you let me know how it turned out. All help would be greatly appreciated.

I think he's posted on here a few times and thats why the name sounds familiar to me, but I don't know of anyone personally that has used him so I can't say anything one way or the other about his work.
I don't like taking work away from people so I'm not gonna tell you that being in Sarasota you could also look into Harry at Ztuner.com who is very well known and respected in the Z community, cause that just wouldn't be fair.
However I will say don't take it to Z fever like 98% of the other people on here are going to tell you to do.....Well for the swap at least, taking it there for tuning afterward is fine since Martin knows his shit. But Harry does that also and he's really good with it.

I know, it was a joke
And you're definitely right about everyone having their own experiences with shops, I've just seen to much to suggest them. He will have to do his own research just like he is now, but I would suggest other places in the Z community as well like twinturbo.net and 3zc.com, not just TR
Personally I don't suggest taking it to any shop, I believe in doing the work yourself and learning your car. If you can't do something as simple as a drop in swap then you're just gonna go broke getting it fixed every time something breaks.

Thanks for the info. I was planing on doing the work my self, but after the x-rays i just had doesn't seem like i will be doing that anymore that's why I'm in a search now. I had a talk with Harry just waiting on him to get back to me. Z1motorsports seems to be a real good shop as well just to far from me.

that is about right.. Fever charges $5800, i just got off the phone with Doug. He has a special running for the month of December, because of Christmas, for $5000. I asked him if you contacted him tomorrow and scheduled it if he would still do it for 5k and he said yes. Either way good luck on your swap and hope you make the right choice for you. Hope everything gets better with your xray issue.
