SG Closing Down!?

I just received an email saying that SG Motorsports is closing down. What a same it seemed that Sasha was a pioneer on the VQ's and innovative in building the next great N/A motor. Too bad, I met the guy once, great guy, its a same that the shop is closing down.

The real point I knew it was time to close up shop was when I found myself advising customers against my services. Some kid that wanted to dump $15,000 into a rusted $5,000 car. Or someone that wanted GT-R like performance out of their 350z. “Can we make it all wheel drive?” Yes. Or you can buy a GT-R. I guess I stopped seeing the purpose of modifying cars, when there are such great cars available from the factory. The amount of money that can be burnt in racing is astronomical – and sickening. The kicker is, you don’t necessarily have any more fun. You just spend more money.
Times are changing.

Lol what can you do? They are not a shop that specializes in fitment, they are all about performance. Its my fault for leaving it there unattended and telling them to make it fit. Our definitions of make it fit are different I guess............

Man has morals, what can I say. But he is completely right... this kind of thinking is preventing me from modding my car further until I can afford a C6 Z06.

Hey Guys,
Sasha is a great guy. I just had some work done there and they do a great job.
The shop is closing in Dec 2011 so if there's any work you want done on your G I'd recommend calling him soon as they will be gone shortly.
I wish Sasha and the guys at SG all the best in the future, now I need to find a new shop.
They will be hard to replace...
