So the shop that was going to handle my 3s swap has backed out and handed me off to another shop

koracing.net

So now i have to start all over with another shop explaing what i want and everything! arg!! the company seems to be able to ahndle what i'll need though, so at least he passed me off to a good shop... i guess i could be happy about that, right?

OH well i will start the phone calls tomorrow...again...

arg, really giving some thought to finding a buddy with an engine hoist and just doing it our selfs and sending the wiring to Tweak, cause i am getting tired of being jerked around by shops who just waste my time...

whatever i am going to go gorge on some pizza to feel better about myself now smile.gif


I should've put this in off topic i guess, my bad...

you wont have to tell the guys at KO much.
kris is a great guy, and an unbelievable fabricator.
if this last shop bailed on you, your much better off with KO.

Ya that is kinda the feeling i am getting i havent called and talked to them yet, i just got home from and(745am) and most places dont open till around 9am so i kinda have to wait for a bit to talk to them.
So you know kris personally?

A lot of members would advise to do it yourself because you also learn too at the same time, plus its not that hard once you send in the wiring to Dr. Tweak. And you save yourself a lot of money, but just out of curiosity, how much are they charging your for the swap?


They wanted around 2,000 for labor... but it was a sketch estimate at best, he just kidn tossed a number at me kindasad.gif
And i would do it myself, but i have no workspace to do it in, i dont have all the tools to do it, and it would take me way way longer to do it myself than in a REAL SHOP, and since i'll have to bum rides i want as little down time as possible. I know it would be a good expeirence for me to do, and truth be told i will spend time at the shop watching them do some of it.

I know how to work on cars and i understand how everything works adn all that jazz, but i freaking hate working on cars!! so i'd rather pay to have someone else get all pissed off about it than myself lol

seems a bit odd to past you on? you'd think they'll want the business?


....
what type? meatlovers or hawaiian?


You would think they would want my business, but his techs must not have had alot of faith on doing it themselves, so maybe it is a good thing they passed me on... time will tell

sadly, Neither, i had chicken my mom made frown.gif
