Central Texas Speedshops?

[ArkosP5]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there were any "speed shops" in either Austin, Houston, or Dallas?

Unfortunately, all I can seem to find in this area are 4x4 Truck shops, ... not too sure why, ....

There are tons of them in Dallas. It all depends what you are looking for. Where are you from?

 

[ArkosP5]

I'm in Austin

I was there in Dallas for HIN, and was hoping I had a list of some to go to in Dallas, but never found any. Looking for a store to go buy toys at. I should be in Houston for the Sept 28th show and was hoping to get some stuff to go visit there, ...

I will be back in Dallas off and on, so if you could post store names, or what to look under in the phone book, I'd really appreciate it.

Just go to the yahoo yellow pages and search for racing, performance, or other words like that and lots of them should pop up.

Houston Shops:

Hyper Racing, look up in yellow pages

LightSpeed Performance 713-690-3133

Is there a few that you would recommend over the others?

Any preferences? Do you go to one for one type of thing, and a different one for other things?

Any favorites?

road warrior is pretty cool. my friend goes there and the guys i met in dallas representing them were extremely cool! i'd def. chck them out.

carboy is supposed to be the best place to go for swaps. alot of honda guys go there for new engines and such.

hocus pocus i've heard mixed things about them. i talked to one of the staff guys and was very cool, but i hear that they sometimes don't do great work. they have a really fast all-motor civic hb for the store, though.

those are the only ones listed that i've talked with or heard much about.

my friend got a b16 and auto-manual swap in his civic ex from wilson racing. they REALLY suck!! they totalled focked his car up and took forever!

Re: I'm in Austin

There are only a handful in austin. The most popular with the big boosted boys (supras and RX-7s) are MZM Performance (Mohammad runs that shop) and Protech Performance (run by Fadi). They are good shops. I prefer Protech. They're in the phone book.Check em out.

Hopefully you can help me out some more :0

I looked in the yellow pages and found MZM International (right near braker and lamar) and Protech Body Shop right near there too. Are those the right ones?

 

[Mazdaspeedgirl]

Yes sir. Those are the ones!

I really like Protech because they work with you.

I bought a pair of colored bulbs from them about a year ago and they burnt out really fast, so Fadi exchanged them for me no charge because he feels cust service is what keeps people coming back. He's right!

Protech was one of the sponsors for our Sevens Across Texas meet that we had in July. Very kools guys and there's always some bad ass RX-7s there at the shop!

i just heard last night that -----this is only a rumor----
carboy copies your key and takes pics of your car and what you have done. and then if they need the stuff, they'll come and drive off in your car. they keep ur address on record. might as well goto road warrior, they are good guys
