hey theres a possability i will be driving my rx in the gumball rally this year. it starts in san francisco and i would have to have the car prepped (new coolant lines/ brake rotors/ pads/ etc...) also i would be installing new rims and exaust (MTV is watching i cant look too stock) i have to ship the car over there by april 16th and i was hoping to deliver it right to a reliable shop to have the work be done and ready before i arrived. the chances of this going through are slim due to the fact that i have to put everything together on such short notice and also the admission to the rally comes at no small price, but any help locating a trustworthy place in or near san francisco would be greatly appreciated.

when i worked for a hotel where they ahd a ferrari meet, a car transporter (enclosed) came by with a beat up benz suv that was used in the rally. im talking about the driver flipping the car and running into god knows what. im pretty sure he got fucked as bad as the car.

What about M2 or SR motorsports? They are a little on the pricey side, but i'm sure they know what they are doing.

thanks for the help but i couldnt get definate plans together im time (everything had to be set by last thursday) and i missed out on the opportunity. well as annoyed as i am it just gives me the motivation to be more prepaired next time.



yes most cars dont make the whole trip without being damaged or having to replace parts. i was planning on purchasing a body kit either way, so i would have had the car repainted but now everything is messed up. well see how things go but for now im gonna sob that im missing an opportunity of a lifetime
