Motorsport Techniques in Hayward
Phone # (510)783-8383
Address: 1410 W Winton Ave
Hayward, CA 94545-1332

They have been around since the 90's and are still going strong. The staff there is helpful and they also have good customer service as well. I purchased several parts from them: Intake, fuel rail, fpr, oem honda tune up parts, etc. I also had minor things done to my car as well, and no probs what so ever. They specialize in motorswaps, cam installs, etc. The price is about average, but you get what you pay for. This is one of the shops i trust so far to work on my car.

As for Car Audio..

Auto Sound Specialists in Hayward as well.
Phone # (510)733-2773
Address: 25224 Mission Blvd.

you can also check them out at http://www.autosoundspecialists.com.
I had them install my 4 channel amp, also had them do a custom trunk install on my bro's car, as well as 2 alarm installs. The outcomes on all installs came out great. They also have a lifetime guarantee on their work, not that 1-2 year warranty crap that some shops offer. Hope this helps..

FOR ME AND MY EXPERIENCE:

FULL FUNCTION TECH
UNION CITY CA 94587
510.475-5855
http://www.fftec.com

They built by turbo DA integra and boosted over 20+ lbs - from fab/welding to dyno tuning on their mustang 2wd/4wd dyno - Prices are fair and same but customer service and knowledge of parts are AWESOME! Sean is the owner and head fabricator - he is AEM certified for tuning, a licensed mechanic, and over all smart tech geek! LOL they have done numerous jobs for me on my other cars -
HONDA and DSM is his shit and they are my #1 pick for tuning, fabbing, and turbo/dyno sheeyet....

Motorsport Tech is hayward is also LEGIT! I have been shopping there since 1994 when they first opened! Ron is awesome and the staff are great - Parts and prices are the same as everywhere else but their service comes thru a+

RaceTune is Hayward is also LEGIT on tuning and installs. They also have a dyno and specialize in high end JAP cars like supras, FC/FD's and others.

RedZone/Fremont - Haven't done anything for my car but my other crew members (ATS GARAGE BIATCHES!) have done lot's of work with them and are LEGIT! HONDAS ONLY!

RACING LAB - Hayward - Parts only but CHEAP and LEGIT PARTS - NOT B-STOCK or fake stuff. JOE is the manager and very nice - http://www.racinglab.com

Gruppe-S in Hayward is also great - They did a few tings on my wifey's accord (tein suspension/intake/brakes) and great service - BUSY SHOP and NEED APPT!
