Looking for a 951 mechanic in the Orange Co. California area. It seems like its getting impossible to find one.. that wants to work on these cars. I have all the enthusiasm, but average mechanical ability and... am a little tenitive about diving into a rebuild with some performance mods. If anybody can refer me to someone, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Have you called GMG Racing yet? I can't remember IF Santa Ana is in OC or not, sorry

Checked out the guys at GMG, nice set-up! It is in Santa Ana. Thanks for the tip!

Don't forget to check out Speed Force Racing. Turbo Tim and his gang know these cars. www.speedforceracing.com

They work on other cars, but started out with 944's only. The market demanded them to tune other rides. Their twin turbo setup for the 350Z and G35 are awesome.

He is building a 900 hp G35 right now.

Speedforce located in San Diego area?

Brantley

Yes, they are in San Diego.

I usually do my own work, but have gone to the following shop in San Clemente with very good results,

Bill Brewster Automotive
(949) 366-2009
1510 Avenida De La Estrella
San Clemente, CA 92672

Brantley, stopped in there awhile back and spoke to (not sure who it was) someone, but when I mentioned performance mods in the same breath with 944 turbo, he didn't really want to get involved. Maybe things have changed? By the way...i'm in Rancho Santa Maragrita. thanks for the info.

Brantley

Probably hasn't changed then... I didn't have too many mods then so maybe he didn't mind.

I've been to Hergesheimer Motorsports (www.hergesheimer.com) in Lake Forest and they complained about mods on my former 951 as well, so I didn't go to them. They are also fairly expensive and primarily like to deal with 911s. Have you tried them?

Fluidplay

yeah.. talked to Mark a couple weeks back. Got a similar response. He reccommended Greg Brown of Precision Motorwerks in Anaheim who is very familiar with 951's. Also, spoke with the guys over at Vision. They're moving away from working on 951's as well. I'd better get up to speed on how these cars work quick! no punn intended. thanks again

Reviving an old post, since there aren't any recent answers... I'm looking for an OC mechanic. Suggestions? I'm looking for a timing belt/water pump replacement and to stop a pesky oil leak that's keeping me from doing track days.

I used to go to Frank at Haus of Performance, but he's only doing race upgrades now.

Vision doesn't touch 951's anymore. They referred me to Michaelangelo Motorwerks, who I used for awhile, but he's a BMW specialist and not really responsive to phone calls.

I just checked Euromasters over the weekend - the service manager said their head mechanic used to race a 944, so he knows the car well, but I haven't heard back from them yet.

Is Precision still around and do they work on 951's?

Anyone have any recommendations?

Greg Brown x 951! He's the MAN!

gizmozoid

Heard some good feedback on Greg. How're his rates? Reasonable?

Matt Sheppard

He's not the economy-priced, true dat. I don't know - It's been 6 years since I was in So. Cal. His opinion is worth whatever he charges, though.

try Factory Werks in Huntington Beach. Gary Topal. There is no such thing as a cheap P car mechanic.
