Default Central Illinois guys, do you do all your own work?

I was looking into doing longtubes and maybe a few other goodies on my car, but I don't have the garage space, the tools, know-how, or experience to do this on my own. All that to say, are there any shops in the area that would do a header install?

yeah, I know where it is. I'm not sure when exactly because I'm still decide on what to go with... limited mod money right now then I won't have any for around 5 years. my car will be in the garage till the end of the month though... snowpocalypse may push that back.

Looks like maybe a red '98 TA or a '98 Grand Prix GTP

Side track, how do you guys like that track down there?

well if you come Fridays the prep is usually junk. Other than that its pretty fun and you can get a lot of runs in. I think if I ask maybe they will prep better or I'm thinking of prepping my lane myself. Also a like 45 minute drive from here to Terre Haute and their track is supposed to have some awesome prep

I'm looking at moving in about 2 months to the champaign area, possibly as far south as savoy/tolono so either would work for me from there too. Is T/H is a full 1/4 or an 1/8?

Oh ok. I've never run 1/8 before but like the thought of it. The most fun comes from the launch so combine that with less stress on everything from a several second shorter run and it's kinda win win!
