Default Need a damn good machine shop in the state of VA

I'm looking for a good machine shop. I dont care how far I have to go

Its for the skyline and shit is expensive on that car so I need a good machine shop. One that has extensive experience building import race engines.

Thanks!

Abacus is the only one I can think of around here.


How about Inline Pro or someone up north? I don't know if they do their own machining for not.

I agree with Matt. With all the big baller shops up north (NOVA, MD AND PA), there has to be some great machine shops.

Have you looked into who does work for AWE Tuning (Audi/Porsche/VW shop) or Inline Pro?

I've never had anything done by Abacus, but I would take my stuff there. People whose opinion I hold high have recommended them to me in the past and recently.
