I just got my car back from Simon at Row Tech yesterday. These guys are incredible. He did an s14 SR20det, auto to manual swap, in to my '96 S14. They did a amazingly thorough job and I couldn’t be happier with it.
Just to give you an idea what I mean, they make everything look stock and very clean. No wires here and their hanging out. They noticed that my wipers and reverse lights weren’t working on one of their meticulous checks and fixed it in no time.
I had to post this cause I know its hard to find a shop that you can trust and cares as much about your car as you do. So I definatley recommend Simon if you are looking for a swap or anything of that nature in the future. You can see the passion these guys have for cars in their work.
He is located in Oakville on Speers just west of Dorval. Here are the pics of the swap:
Thanks Simon!!!
Regardes,
Ryan.

glad to hear that it went well, how much did it end up costing you in the end, with tax, labour, ect…

Thanks bro I appreciate it. About the price, everyones situation is different so I don’t want to disclose my price for obvious reasons. Lets just say the quality to dollar ratio was outstanding! You can always call Simon and ask him for pricing. He is very fair and makes sure you walk away happy.

Yes, the are amazing guys. BUT THEY ARE EAST OF DORVAL, NOT WEST.
They have been the only ones that have touched my car and probably will be the only guys that ever will.

I stopped in at Rowetech today and had a chat with Simon. His background is mainly rx7 based but he’s got a great respect for 240’s and knows his way around one. He even wound up doing a bit of work for me at no charge…What a classy guy!
great guy, great shop! Highly reccomended.

Simon is the only guy whos ever worked on my car… Repaired the frame on it.
Hes put every part i couldnt onto my car. He knows those cars really well.
I recommend him to anyone. He also Custom fabed wheel spacers for the 240s and hicas locking bars. HKS flanges, and a load of other stuff. He is also one of the most honest Machanics iv ever met. +4 to a all round great guy and for 4 years of awsome service.
