Default Recommend a shop

Just picked up a '93 SC400 the other day, engine and tranny are great but the car needs some minor work. Power steering pump is leaking over a recently replaced alternator which is about to short out. Car handling at high speeds sucks due to worn out tires and improper alignment, possibly need new lower control arm and steering rack bushings. Looking for a shop anywhere from Sarasota to Tampa with competitive prices, quality work and experience working on Lexus cars. Open to suggestions for high performance mods. Thanks

For what it's worth, XAT did a great job figuring out a bad leak I was having and a few other things. I like to send business to people who have served me well in the past, so check them out. I do believe they've worked on Lexus vehicles before, and Ryan is a Toyota god.

Check out Central FL performance shop. When it comes down to toyota's, Sean is the man! He owns the shop, he use to work under xat. Did plenty of 3s and 4a swaps. He is fucking awsome! Give his shop a call at 727.572.4340. He is where secret services use to be. Tell him Nelson sent ya. He was fixing some of the threads that stripped out of the head from my 3s yesturday. Xat isn't a bad shop, Ryan the toyo tech is pretty damn good too. Sean will most likely give you a better deal with quality work.

Just following up.. CFM is a great place to get your car worked on, everyone there works their ass off and they do some of the cleanest work I've ever seen. Their prices are extremely competitive and I'd have to say I'm very satisfied with the work they've done on my car.

I would definitely recommend CFM Motorsports to anyone in the Tampa Bay area for custom mods/swaps or even just your basic repairs.

Hit em up at 813-630-4246 and ask for Jesse. Tell them Glitch sent ya

Thumbs up Shop of choice

My MR2 T had more bugs than "Star Shit Troopers", Ryan the Toy-Doc knock them all out immediately. Since then I've used them for performance upgrades.

PEACE-
