Re: Going to open tuning shop for STi/Evo...?

Well to start you off, since i pretty much run my uncles shop, most companies will do kind of a dealer or jobber with a shop to get you lower prices on items and most places offer buy ins where you purchase any amount of parts to the amount of the buy in which gets you distributor pricing. Another thing you can do is purchase in bulk since most of the stuff is the same that might be the better idea. Look into the subaru and mitsu forums to see what brands are most looked after, and what brands or produvts are most likely used ie intakes, downpipes, intercoolers, exhaust, fuel system upgrades, ignition. From this point since you want to be a tuning shop you will need diagnostic equipment, programing software, and a dyno. Theres alot more as far as legal bs and some other things needed for tuning but thats the basics for a shop.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.
