No Turbos, no SWAPs makes me sick..

Hey guys..I hit up carboy again this afternoon after class..asked them that if they would do a SWAP or a turbo for my car..saddly they told me no and from the way they were talking, they sounded like if they don't wanna do anything to the new civics at all..well, I kinda wish if I could get the SWAP done here in town..if there's any chance my lasts 4ever D17 engine ever goes out..I wanted to pick up a K20A in Tokyo or HongKong on my way back here from the vocation...don't know how much it's gonna be though..probably not even worth it..errr...

Yeah one of my homeboys got his car turboed at Carboy and they did a great job. I asked a while back how much to turbo my car and they told me they wouldnt do it because of the fuel or somethin like that.

there's a few other good shops that might do it, i just can't think of them right now. i'm tempted to say PYR (they have some crazy fast cars) but from what i've seen their specialty is all motor
