BluDestiny Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 So I'm going to be moving to cedar rapids this summer for a job. First thing that I'm worried about is lack of a tuning shop or parts store that can get stuff for imports, specifically SR20 related stuff (both my s13 and Datsun are/will be SR powered). Would any locals care to chime in? I figure Iowa city would be a little bit bigger also, so I'm going to look there for some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 On the way to the Holiday Inn (south side) from the Highway, there is a multiple railroad crossing in a stairstep configuration. If you get a mid 90's Lumina, and hit the secret speed along with proper throttle application...you can get big air to fly over the hood of a police car sitting at the cross street at the bottom of the tracks. Do NOT scream insanely about "what idiot designed that crossing without a warning to slow down! etc etc etc." That's been used successfully once to get out of the ticket...I doubt it will work a second time. Took me a week to get that right.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Randy has it correct. I often said that overseas "what do you care WHERE you are? UPS Delivers EVERYWHERE stateside!" And it's true today as ever. Frankly, if it wasn't for DHL and UPS I couldn't get half the stuff I get shipped to the office. Lots from China, Japan, etc... The internet has changed things.

BluDestiny Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Tony D, I'm not surprised about your shenanigans. I shall look for the RR crossing. I'm curious why you were out there though, I only really remember seeing Rockwell and the Quaker Oats factory. I'm not really worried about getting parts. It specifically a shop that has experience tuning with dynos and everything. If I can't find anything I'm just gonna be spending a lot of time learning...
