DG Performance is finally opening a shop!, Special Products & Services for Celica's and MR2's Options

[Chanh55]

Cool man, congrats If you need some help let me know, if things aren't working out down south then maybe I'll come up...

DG and Dr Tweak, man, that'd be a scarey combo

-Doc

Or one of you guys can move somewhere near the west? Not fair... east coasters got both of you guys.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

Duhhh Chanh, everyone knows teh EC 6gc is the best

I think that would be an awesome combo, now if we could kidnap doggy and get him in the US, set the 3 of you up and we're good to go .

Congrats DG

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Tina, you certainly speak the truth.

In defense of all the wonderful 6gc-specific geniouses here on the east coast, there are about a thousand more great shops out on the west coast that really know there stuff. Theres no comparing the car scene here in New Jersey to the one in SoCal....so thats our advantage.

Oh, and also....this is great news Dave. I'm glad to hear that you're now doing things on a larger scale. Us EC guys are really spoiled to have some serious talent around.

[BBoYRuGGeD]

congrats DG! glad to hear this news bro

i need your number btw, i wunna redo my exhuast system this spring

bboy

[Akimbo]

Do you do full swaps? You're closer than Tweak.

[CelicaZR]

Congrat man
When you get a pricelist up
I might be interested in some stuff.
Shipping would suck though

[Cutrara]

Where exactly in PA?

[DG_Performance]

I hope i dont forget anything here....
1. I would love to combine forces with others some day,(we would be cornering the market and be able to charge whatever prices we want)
just kiddin...but yeah it is hard doing everything yourself and finding good help is not easy.
2. I am working on a price list and will post it asa i get it done.
3. I wish shipping was not so bad for you WC people and you non-US peole for big items. Smaller items are not bad though.
4. Yes, I do complete 3s swaps ....and any custom stuff you need!
5. Thanks everyone again for all your support!
6. Im 45 minutes south of Pittsburgh ( town called Charleroi 2 minutes right off I70)
Bonus:
I am always up for new ideas/challanges so if any of you guys have any product ideas that you want to run past me i could try to make even more products that you guys want! Pm me with those ideas so that topic does not take over the post.

So if I left my car with you with a 3S clip or not what are prices and ETA? We're talkin the whole shebang...exhaust, intercooler, couple odds and ends

[j0e_p3t]

grr... almost made me wish i wasn't all nice and warm in this southern california weather. but good luck with the business. we need more guys like you on the west coast.

[DG_Performance]

Ok, i know this is going to sound really cut short but to make this as simple as i possibly can. basic gt to 3s swap...
pulling the 3s motor from the clip
pulling the 5s motor from the celica
make a hybrid harness
put the gt trans on the 3s and drop it in with harness
bolt it all in & pop the axles back in
you are looking at $1100 labor olny and a week to do a swap! (Wiring labor is included in that cost)
options you can add and i advise you do so....
Obviously you will need fresh fluids and that is not covered in labor cost.
New Clutch?
Resurface Flywheel?
Tune up (blets, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel pump, fuel filter)
engine bay clean up?
what do do about exhaust?
tmic or fmic?
all these extra parts are bought by you and i charge a little extra for installation due to more time involved.
Now ask yourself the question...What kind of swap do i want to end up with in the end ...and choose the options you want to add.
how cheap do you want to go about doing the swap?

[playr158]

would you be able to do an engine build?
pistons, cams ect and machine work?

This post has been edited by playr158: Mar 8, 2006 - 6:34 PM

[DG_Performance]

Could do cams, some porting and polishing but would not have the tooling to do machine work to blocks...there is a shop around that i would have to have things like that done out of house. I am trying to stick to doing all thing in house at my own place.
The cost of machines for that kind of work is out of my range for a good while.
Sorry

[burneeed]

give me a price on that front mount and I might need one in about 2 weeks

[dustinkemp]

thats sweet your off I-70 cus im like 1/2 hour from it going to columbus. so i could jump on it and get right to ya!

[Dr_Tweak]

I would love to combine forces with others some day...

Keep in touch

-Doc

[DG_Performance]

Happy to anounce that i have my first swap customer lined up already! It is a 3sgte into a mr2. I gave him a killer deal. You guys are gonna flip at my current price for this. Complete swap for $600. I guess you can say i am having a grand opening deal . Got to get a quick few customer rides done to get my name out there.

[bloodrain]

I want a swap done too! :-(

[DG_Performance]

Bring up you car and drop it off for a weekend, or take a vacation up this way and rent a car for a few days, and then drive you new beast home after i get it done which is a great way to break in a new clutch cause you can put some good miles on it b4 you get it home and want to race everything i sight.
i am sure total cost will be less than the shop down your way will charge you
i can do celica gt 5spd to 3sgte swap in my sleep
if you are serious about me doing a swap for you contact me via email and i can set you up
