No No No. Not Super Rupair. They are good wrenches but they know NOTHING about swapping. They took on a swap and asked me to come in and do the wiring for them because they were way in over their heads. I was too busy and couldn't do it for them. The car sat for 6 months before they found someone to job out the wiring to. But Super is the place in Colorado to buy a complete swap's worth of parts...
You want to take the car to Troy Matta down in Denver. I don't have his number in front of me (he doesn't post on any boards) but if you shoot me a PM as a reminder, I will get it to you...

Matt, I think you're talking about my car, right? I would definitely not reccomend Super Rupair for a swap. I still don't have my car back. Quite a few people told me to go there and was even told that the guy working on it was "the best subaru electrician in the state". I'm sure they do good work otherwise, but they certainly know nothing about swapping jdm engines.

That is the hazard of regurgitating something that you read on the internet. I tend to speak only of things I have direct personal experience with... ;)
2-7 offsuit,
I am trying to remember who they brought in to do your wiring, but it was someone good from what I remember. I'm sorry your car has become such a nightmare...

Really? Last time I talked to Dave over there at Super, Jayson Black or Bret Carter, or someone from the Denver area had agreed to come in and deal with it. No wonder the car still isn't done. What a freaking nightmare...

They've actually never mentioned to me that they asked Matt, Jason Black or anyone else local. They basically told me that my only option was to send it out to Lachute, which was going to be pretty crazy expensive. For some reason Lachute didn't answer their phone for a couple weeks so I actually had them send it out to Zypher on this board. If they would have sent everything that they were supposed to, I might even have it back by now.
