What do you plan on bringing to VA that has not already been here. There are plenty of Good shops around. I say they need to get rid of all the half assed shops and it will be fine.

As in connections what?

Knowing of people in locations in Japan to source the parts would be Grey Marketing. You can get in mucho trouble for that or even admitting that you are doing that. Knowing people from here to Cali? name some people first name basis that would recommend you.

Im not being a Dick to be a Dick. Well maybe. Yet i see as in my view that there are to many people working on an underground make money then pull out when it goes wrong business plan.
