    Affordable Technician and Street Tuning on gas or E85 for many imports! Lansing, MI

    Hello everyone, my name is Lucas. I am a State Certified technician have been wrenching professionally 8 years and tuning for just as long. I feel as if I have developed a good reputation in our area for quality work and I would like to extend my services to the Xceed community.

    I specialize in all areas automotive. Need a custom wiring harness? No problem! Need help boosting your D15B1? I can help! I have worked on most all makes and models on the road today, but I am most proficient working on Subaru, Honda, Mazda and Toyotas. I will work on Evos as well but I am not a huge fan of the 3 diamonds.

    On the tuning side of things I offer very affordable rates (PM for details). I started chipping and tuning Hondas when I was 15 and I have tuned more then I can count. I have been open source tuning Subarus for 5 years now, and have tuned a few on E85 including my own daily driver. I also specialize in Megasquirt builds and I can build and tune a custom MS for your application. I have only tuned one Evo 8, but I have a good understanding of what works on these cars as the tune evolved as the owner modded his car (ended up 30psi on FP Green and E85). I have experience with RomRaider/ECUFlash, Tuner Studio MS, Greddy E-Manage, APEX-i Power FC and V/SAFC, Neptune RTP, Crome, AEM EMS, Cobb AccessPort/AcessTuner and DSM Link but I am always down to learn something new.

    So if your looking for someone to do the job right, the first time, then look no further! Attached is a pic showing that I really can do anything. Car is a 01 Impala show car that I top swapped with GTP heads and supercharger. Hopefully some of my customers will chime in too!


    Edit: Here is some more of my work..
    Dmo's 05 WRX (18G, TiAL EWG, 22psi on pump gas)


    Dmo's Evo 8 (FP Green, ID1000, Equal length manifold, AMS fmic, 30psi on E85)



    My own WRX (12.35 @ 109 on stock engine, 16g, TiAL EWG, 24psi on E85)




    My 95 Civic EX 4dr I built when I was 18(Legit 01 B18C5 swap, Hytech header, M's intake, 192whp)


    My 91 CRX HF I built when I was 16 (12.5:1 compression, A6 bottom end, Ported Z6 head, Comp stage 2 cam)


    Boosted 420a's 97 Eclipse RS-T (Now running on Megesquirt II on 24psi and runs 13.5 with no traction)


    Gareth's 94 Civic DX 4dr (JDM B16A, CTR pistons, Skunk stage 2 cams, built and tuned by myself to 186whp)


    There are many more then this.. but these are all the one's I could find pics of

    I worked side by side with Lucas countless times. And I have been able to call him when I have gotten stumped, which back in the day happen on occasion. He knows his shit, he's had great training. Hire this guy, he's a man of his word!

    May I ask if you have any certifications and such? Just asking, not trying to knock! it would be a good "selling" point!
    There's a trick to being whatever you want to be in life.
    It starts with the simple belief that you are what or who you say you are. It starts, like all faiths, with a belief-a belief predicated more on whimsy than reality. And you've gotta believe for everybody else, too - until you can show them proof. If you're lucky, someone starts believing with you - first theoretically, then in practice. And two people believing are the start of a congregation. You build a congregation of believers and eventually you set out to craft a cathedral. Sometimes it's just a church; sometimes it turns out to be a chapel. Folks who don't build churches will try to tell you how you're doing it wrong, even as your steeple breaks the clouds. Never listen.- From TOUGH SHIT

    >Implying that certs = more knowledge when it comes to making power.


    Lol.




    What cars you have wrenched on/how fast they went/how much power they made/how often they broke/what other cars did they shit all over on the street would be a better selling point don't you think?
    "What is the lowest price you will take for your parts?"

    Motherfucker, what is the highest price you are willing to pay?

    All I see lol wise is(other than your hate for no reason) the fact that he has the teachings of how cars work, has the certifications to elaborate that fact, and he has tuning history. Thats all I'm saying. Why don't you go back to your backroom casting couch and try to con some more youngins into doing things that they will regret down the road.

    You do better work? If so, make your own thread and talk yourself up!

    If not, who the FUCK are you to knock someone elses biz when he's trying to be up and coming in the field?

    Nothing but a troll with nothing to add to the thread.

    I updated and added more to my first post.

    Oh and CHZBRGR.. I'm not a UTI grad. They offered me a $5000 dollar scholarship out of high school and I turned them down. Reason being, I know 5 people that have went through UTI, ONE has a job working on cars. I would say that 20% of what I know I learned in a book, the other 80% is hands on experience.
