Probably LIC motorsports, I know they just started doing swaps again. Good guys, they do good work. i know a guy with one of their swapped cars, been really good to him so far. Not sure which of the other shops around here do swaps or not

2nd for LIC Motorsports.

How many other shops have been featured in Japanese auto magazines for their swaps?

I do believe LIC was one of the pioneering shops as far as GC conversions go.

LIC Motorsports > everyone else

I've personally owned a 98RS with an 02 WRX swap and it was great. I bought it from the previous owner who had it swapped at like 30k-ish and bought it at sub 100k and sold it at 140k. Never had an issue and was always amazing!

http://licmotorsports.com/project-ca...ject-cars.html

btw...some of these people on that link have had multiple cars swapped by LIC like Gary at Mann Engineering has had at least 2 cars swapped. Oh and definently don't go to Garage Tuning where they do the job and have electrical gremlins pop up sparatically and the quality just isn't there.
