Hey everyone, I'm looking to do a B18B complete swap into my '00 EK hatchback.

I'll be calling around to the Revscene sponsors but will also call non-Revscene sponsors.

Has anyone ever heard of Epic Autosports? They're located in Surrey and their website is www.epicautosports.ca.

If anyone has done business with them before or have any experiences that they'd like to share, I am happy to hear about them.

I tried doing a search through our forums for "Epic Autosports" but came up with nothing.

By the way, this thread is not meant to bash or praise any vendor. If you want to keep your comments confidential then please feel free to PM.

Thanks for helping with my research.

never heard of them... the name sounds ghetto and their project cars looks like shit also.

got my windows tinted from them, they did a really good job, and yea they had tons of cars in there with engine swap in progress.

edit: oh and really nice people too, i actually liked my visit there

[greendb7]

Had my B18B in my Integra swapped out for another, fairly quick and good guys, motor runs good, but just had it done less than a few weeks ago so I can't say much
so far so good though

I know a guy that works there his name is Ruben, awesome guy to talk to and gives you straight up answers. However I have not purchased anything from there before

1) 2001 toyota celica gt engine swap- fast and a good job, everything smooth

2) 2009 honda civic si springs- lowered the car, fast and everything smooth also

thats their fb group, they got tons of pics of swaps going on

[invader]

I know Roy (owner/mechanic) Tim (mechanic)

They did a clutch install on my Z32. They did a fine job no complaints.

By the looks of it, it seems mostly a Honda shop. Tim drives a Skyline so he has a very good background on RB's and most Nissans.

never have had anything done ther myself but I know a few people who have

lower my friends lancer
did work on a friend of a friends's eclispe

no complaints from either of them

who the hell are they

[lowside67]

To all other potential people considering "Epic Autosports", here is the same thread on the Civic forum... lots of people are unimpressed with them:

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

they sure is EPIC tho
:bullshit:

[turb0fr3ak]

great guys. Roy is great. did a few swaps for me and friends.

everyone will have good and bad experience with shops. for example i have good experiences with epic autosports and bad experiences with G5. its all about which shop you are comfy with.

[Gary Oak]

nice guys Tim did most my work on my skyline when i had it, really nice and get the job done

[umpadupa]

wow are they really as bad as vancouver civics make them sound?

then again, vancouver civics is kinda negative to lost of things

[jpark]

^always the friends friends friend experience stories :/

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

to lots of things u mean


yes they are

[turb0fr3ak]

i know a few people in the vancouvercivics.com that are cool. the rest......

drama drama is what you get when you view that site. admins are nazi, and some of the members are trolls.

but staying on topic..

Roy is a great guy not cocky or high with him self like some of the shop owners out there. he will help you out regardless of your financial limit. go to the shop and look for yourself its not much but they get it done.

[!e.lo_]

wth, this is close from my place, and I haven't heard of them.
Only seen the "epic" sticker on some civics and integras...

[insomniac]

^ahhh so this is where all the silver epic stickers are coming from...

[gogoo77]

Tim just did an exedy clutch on my 240sx and installed subframe bushings and a exhaust. Good guys and quick service.

[divine]

Do they make cars go boom?

[adrnlnrush00]

Having heard all the good and bad feedback, I went to their shop to see for myself.

They've got a good setup and Roy and Tim were very accommodating to my questions.

Further, they were also able to provide me with satisfactory answers/explanations for the shitty rep they've been getting from VCC. Funny thing is, everyone at VCC seems to be quite passionate about their opinion whereas RS was more objective.

Just for the record, for as many bad experiences I heard, there were equally the same quantity of good experiences.

Anyways, I'm still waiting on a quote from an RS sponsor so the jury is still out.

Thanks for the feedback thus far.
