Moving to Chicago, and I need to find a local indy shop. Close to downtown is good, but not mandatory. Looking for someone to handle regular maintenance on an M57, and possibly some upgrades.

Also, if someone could recommend their favorite dealer/SA for when the need arises, I'd appreciate that as well.

cheeseforlunch · 08-16-2018, 07:04 PM

So... I'm assuming Summer M-Vade 2018 isn't gonna happen? Haven't heard anything since the spring meet

Anyone know of a ZF trans specialist shop in the state? Need to beefen up my trans with a sonax zip kit and few other goodies. zf 6hp21

MyLilTurbo6 · 02-29-2020, 12:33 PM

Anyone know a shop that can help with alignment in Chicago or burbs, the car is lowered on FSD with Eibachs, and the shop I took it too said they couldn't do it without camber plates and rear adjustable links.

Hey everyone, I'm an e90 driver in Chicago proper. I've done almost all bolt on NA power mods myself in the driveway, MILVS and an N54 OFH with cooler to come soon.

I'm serious about buying a donor car for a manual transmission swap and installing an LSD. I reached out to Bavarian Auto Werks in Orland park to do the job, but no response.

Anyone have recommendations for an independent shop that builds track / race cars and is willing to take on something beyond typical service in the city or nearby 'burbs?

iND may be able to set it up.

That would have been a no brainer for VS Motorsports back in the day.

Actually you can also try Mancuso in Glenview. Talk to Frank Roti. Tell him his old buddy Seth sent you his way.

Doc McCoy · 07-07-2020, 01:48 PM

Yo. New to the forum and with Chicago, I’m 3 1/2 years in.

Thank you for having me.

Any OEF OIF Marines in here?
