Back in LA the shop I went to did whatever I wanted them too. Didn't matter who ordered what part. Z clinic is a little bit far for me. I'm in south austin, but if anyone knows a place that likes to make money and work on cars, like a normal business would, feel free to chime in as well

Z Clinic is well worth the drive and money. You can also try Soul Speed in south Austin.

Edit: Just go with SoulSpeed!

I agree on Z Clinic. Kevin is solid. Shoot me a PM and maybe we can get together when you drop the car off - I live in the neighborhood.

I have no personal experience with Soul Speed, but I have heard positive things.

Also, if a shop refuses to install parts you bring in yourself, then don't give them your business and tell others not to use them. They are just being greedy because they want the 10% markup they charge for buying your parts for you. Their liability is the same regardless of whether they bought the parts or not, so don't believe any of that nonsense.

I wish I saw this before. I would have loved to meet you. I think our cars look the same. Matte grey?

OP how much labor they charged you for the clutch and flywheel install?
Once you get the chance to review the southbend stage 3 would love to hear it! Thanks
