From my experience with buying things through Jap Warehouse, the guys there are pretty honest, good people, it was good to deal with them.

Jap warehouse, so im guessing your in the northern suburbs?

try edge motor works or jak motor works.

both are great workshops.

both are located in cambo.

[Do-Luck]

Also Pro-Tek in Preston are an excellent workshop

[ZILLR]

jak uses the edge motor works dyno in case you want to get rid of the middle man, edge is said to have one of the best tuners as well.

id highly suggest them

if you've got an Evo, wouldn't Chasers be the choice? the west melb/footscray one shouldn't be too far on some sort of freeway from the west

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

many, many, many EVO's are chasers cars

[R31Nismoid]

Whatever you do - Don't let anyone tell you that you need an aftermarket ECU for the EVO.

Your stock ECU is fully tuneable, the same as Nistune is for Nissan only better. Good mate of mine tunes EVOs

The stocker ECU also has some of the best functionality you can get for a street car, best of all, it's free.

I've heard MPC do a lot of Evos. They did well with our S15 track cars, granted, they are running Motecs

[Sunkist]

+1 for edge motorworks!

my cars tuned there

[alr33x]

i go to japywarehouse and all my mates do as well, never had a drama.. all nissans though

i did hear about that and thanks for confirming it. i appreciate it everyone, ill start having chats with them and choose from there.

i know chasers are good but they are to far for me ill have to catch a taxi home and back down there and that will cost alot lol.

Protek in Preston do allot of evo's and have a pretty good track record. You can check out their facebook page.

As per R31nismoid, evo ecu's can be tuned, similar to the WRX.

[HIZOKU]

- 1 for edge

+1 for chasers,protech or if it is for a evo make the trip to TECHSPORT most knowledge on evo's ever and there a mini evo wrecker raceevos and so on

[WGNPWR]

i woudlnt go near techsport with a 10ft pole......

Hey Scotty I wouldn't go past Pro-Tek or you could check out Chasers mate for their knowledge of Evo's and overall workmanship. PM on the latter as they're not as 'polished' on their job completion, as of recent with a couple of friends who own evos.

They might be a bit out of the way, but It's worth the peace of mind. Oh and +1 on flash tune, I think It's around ~$500-550 IIRC from most workshops. Can't go wrong.

ok cool thanks everyone.

also i dont mind about traveling but then i got to wait around and try and find something to kill the time why i wait for my car to be finished.

[SS8_Gohan]

Footscray station is a short walk from Chasers, and then you're in the CBD in a matter of minutes. Or if you're really lazy, a taxi into the city would be cheap.

You near a train line that will go to Footscray station?

[Takahashi GTR]

Jesus, it takes me over 2 hours to get home from my workshop, it's all about the tuner/workshop! Not the travel......

How lazy are you fellas?
