Default Revolution Roanoke

Has anyone had an engine swap done before by them ? Any complaints and such ? Im thinking of getting my H22 into my Prelude done there. They were cheaper then WeGoFast. Thanks
PS : Theyre located on Brambleton Ave if you were curious.

Uhhh... no. They are cheaper for a reason. I didn't even know they did any swaps there. That place has changed hands quite a few times since it's been open. Judging from the cars I always see parked in front of the place, it doesn't look like they're doing much there.

Just remember, you get what you pay for. I have heard nothing but good things about WeGoFast.

In Tony and Taylor's defense, it's only changed hands a total of twice that I've known of. I've been good friends with both Tony, and Taylor for quite a few years (probably in the range of 5-6 years) and they're good guys..

Taylor opened Revolution.. Sold it to Tony.. Tony sold it to the new owners recently. I just found out about that. I can't say I would ever have a motor swapped there, but I can't even begin to imagine owning the type of car that I would even want to take to a place like that for a swap anyway.

I've heard great things about WeGoFast though!

Why not just get a few buddies, or maybe experienced Honda board members together from HondaTech or something to help you out with a few pizzas and some beer?

I'm curious as to which car you have. I can only think of about a handful of h22 civic swaps we have done, so please clue me in as to which one was yours?

Thanx for all the kind words you guys have put in.
