He's in Tuscon. The only one I know of is in Arizona, USA.
Dude, if you're into fixing up your car I'd definitely recommend just swapping in a better engine (KL-ZE) instead of buying another stock engine(yes it is a V6), but I'll have a K8 just lying around as soon as I get it out of my car if you have any interest.

Re: engine problems
might as well get a KL, they are easier to find and are direct replacements for the pos K8 engine.

Re: engine problems
I bough my GS with no engine. I wish I new about the ZE swaps then becuase I installed another K8. They're pretty gutless. The ZE's a not bad from what I hear. Mine is JSpec K8 so it has like 10 more hP. The only thing you can beat with a K8 are like stock civics and protoge's. GO WITH THE ZE SWAP...
