My wallet is not happy to hear this :)
p.s. congratulations Mike!
OK, is this a new entity outside of Gruppe-S, a rebadging, or what.
Not sure I need all the gory details, but what is the Net-Net to the consumer...
I need parts, installation and tuning for the STI in the very near future and want great prices, great service, and great results. :)

This is a new entity and nothing to do with Gruppe-S other than the fact I used to work there.
It's a new business, GST Motorsports, Inc with new staff hand picked for being the absolute best at what they do.

Hey Mike what does GST stand for?
Like Dean, I assumed it was a rebranding.
And thanks for the update. I'm due for something, like a new turbo.

Great Service and Tuning basically.

So Mike, are you doing parts at competitive prices, or will we need source the parts elsewhere and bring them to you?
Sue needs some Sway Bars for her '02 wagon. Probably Cobb or Hotchkis.
Also, are you doing ECUTec as well as Cobb tuning? I'll probably give her my ECUTec ECU which currently hase a STX legal map but she could use a stage 1.

We are full parts and service now mate, we actually have the Cobb bars instock!. We will be as competitive as we can be on parts pricing.
We offer EcuTek tuning so feel free to bring anything you need tuned :)

EcuTek tuning is $250 for a standard map for something in the stage upgrade path, for something crazy it is typically billed out per hour.

My parents came up to Sac for christmas and my dad started telling me about Mike and his shop. Turns out it's in the same complex as his work (quintronix). Small world.
Shop is nice. And when they are done, should be awesome.

Speaking of welding, I need to cage my car before April... I was planning on doing it up here in Reno just for convenience sake, but I figure I should find out what you guys can do. Are you handling that sort of work yet down there Mike? What's the ballpark cost for an SCCA road race legal cage?

We have the capabilities to do whatever you need, best to give me a jingle at the shop so we can discuss the specifics.
