Heres what you do man...
Buy all the parts you need from that list, call up a handful of 6GC guys and kick all the work out in much less than a day. Just make sure you buy them plenty of food, beer, etc. ![]() Especially for routine maintainence procedures, you owe it to yourself to be able to perform such tasks. It'll not only save you alot of money but it will make you better informed on how your car works and self-reliant. For me, i'm far too poor to be spending money on labor like that. Only time I'll ever take it to a shop is if I don't have access to the right tool for the job, although I've never had that happen yet. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
