DFW shops

hey guys are there any good tunning/machine shops in the DFW area? Denton? i would even be content with going down to Austin. I have heard that Alamo Motorsports is good. I have seen first hand what the people at VSV will do to a person's car, and i must say that the people that are up there are morons. No offense to anyone if they work there, but it just seems that the people at VSV are lazy and dont care. A dude i worked with had a 300z and they were working on his car and screwed up his radiator hose, wich in turn caused the engine to cook. Oh, and and on a better note, a ***** that i knew had his worked on and the thing never ran right again.

Anyways here is what i am kinda looking for, a custom downpipe, p&p, possibly a regrind eventually. Muffler shops can do exaust right? But most importantly some one who is not honda obsessed and who has an open mind. I dont want some *** to laugh at me because he can not see over the freaking type R sticker.

Any info will help, thanks yall

Ground Zero in Cedar Hill is good. Alamo is way overpriced and rated.

alamo is expensive but not overrated. they know there stuff. the owner has been on the cover unteen times on sport compact car with his supra's and mr2's. they do alot of turbo civics, turbo focus's, eclipses so i imagine they could do a mazda.

like stated before, VERY expensive, but i woundn't trust anyone else.

I see, but know you can get the same quality of work for a bit cheaper price. Turn around may not be as fast but please remember the contractors pyramid.

hey guys, thanks for the replies, it turns out that i will be visiting a couple of these places earlyer than i thought. Not for my pro, but a good buddie of mine just got his hands on a 91 nissan 240 with a blown engine for $200 we have looked her over and other thank the usual 100k wear she is perfect considering no engine. lol. anyways this summer in about a month we are going to drop a CA18DET into it, and we will be looking around for a 3in down pipe, so thanks to all of you guys that replied.

btw in case yall are interested we will set up a cardomain site later this week, i will post the link in the misc. section here.

Thanks again!
