Car troubles- where to go in H-burg? - 2.2TurboCL - 09-03-2005
Sorry if this is a repost or whatever but I have been having problems with my car lately and dont know where to take it in Harrisonburg.
I have a boosted Acura CL and recently I have been noticing smoke in the exhaust which im pretty sure is the result of bad oil seals in the turbo. The bigger issue is when the car is warmed up it will stall out whenever shifted into neutral.
I took it to Harrisonburg Honda not knowing where else to go and they looked at it and wouldnt touch it because of the engine mods. They referred me to ET Motorsports who I have been unsuccessful contacting. I have also looked into getting it worked on at Dale Engineering.
Anyhow, where, if anywhere, is a good local place to get this looked at? My usual shop is over 3 hours away so I need to get this fixed here. Thanks for any help.

welcome to the forum. i recall seeing your CL last year (if it wasn't yours then never mind...it was silver) and it looked really nice.
RJ could probably help you more since he busts his shit all the time, but there is a shop downtown owned by a guy named Neil. i think the shop is on main street (on the left, going towards downtown) and has a sign that says "foreign auto service" or something like that. he's really good with foreign cars, modified too i think. apparently he used to race an RX-7 too.

Thanks i'll look into that shop. It probably was my CL it is silver and there arent too many around here. Anyone else?

Neil maddox - 'foreigh car service', head up main street and just past the napa on the left there's what looks like a junkyard - thats the shop. right before little grill.

ET motorsports is also a good shop. They specialize in DSMs and are located in Weyer's Cave. PM me and I'll get the phone number I have to them. I also know a guy that works at Harrisonburg Honda who might be interested in taking up your job. Again, PM me if you're interested.

Hey dave, you say they specialize in DSMs? Where is weyer's cave compared to JMU, and can I get that phone number?

What the fuck do you need a shop for? You better start doing everything on the GSeX yourself...cause you'll always have a lot to do.
E.T.'s number is 540 578 0665

.......ive done everything on my car myself except for the belts/alternator, and thats cuz I didnt have the time...
Anywayz......I always like to check out specialty dsm places. Anywayz, if martin doesnt send me that oil feed line soon and also wheels/tires that ive been asking forever, im gonna have to go to someone else. I hate having this turbo sit in my room. Although I just got fucked, someone stole 275 dollars from me so I cant buy yhe afpr and fuel pump I needed. God fucking damnit I hate thiefs.

Is ET really busy or is no one there? I have tried calling a number of times and their voice mail is full.

Jeff thinks everyone is a TD nerd, but the truth is that he's a lonely, sad little man in a lonely, sad little world of turbocharged non-crossflow-head MOPARs.
You have a choice. You may weep for him, and the irony of his required and yet tragic place in the universe, or you can point and laugh.
