Damn thats alot of coin, and i though 130$ for gaskets was expensive lol

Previous owner didnt really know what to do.
I got it with a blue optima marine battery.
It looks like he got in drove 20,000 km over 4 years and change the oil only
or drove it like nothing and did like nothing
i have japanese stickers with kilometers recorded
one i think is timing belts the other is in the gas lid150,xxxkm
so maybe he had it for 4 years and did 4,000km.
Either way i got it and i go over everything ... To the point that maybe its a little over board
but i just think that i dont reallly know the last time it was fully serviced so why not just
know for sure and do it ...right?
Any ways it should b e back from its tune up
im replacing the shift and ebrake boots(sparco) and a sparco windsheild liner
i think she done for this season
the next step is winterizing cause this is a year round r32 ohhh yea .... I bet i never get above 60km this winter unless it totally dry and clear lol

[M-type]

all work came to $4480.00 and because mike at rightdrive lies and cheats ppl im suing/boycotting them

said i passed e test one day then i go to pick up and he tells me it failed e-test

because my stock r32 is boosting at 13 psi lol losers

[RABBIT]

dude what a rip , you should have bought all those parts your self would have saved you a much a coin


cEDIT: i didnt even notice, you spend 30 dollars on an OIL FILTER , typo yes?

[M13]

jesus 2k for just parts that could have been done for less than 1k................


You keep jobs alive in your part of the world LOL.

[M-type]

**** yah, i dont have 4 hands or a hydraulic lift.. so ...
and yes if i had the time and credit card and space i would have gladly ordered and installed myself
i waas under the impression( obviously wrong) that rightdrive had a clue what they were doing

and their 6-8 for delivery (of parts)and then finished installing in 2 days attracted me... but over a month... lol i could have built the car from the ground up

and i know i got ripped service with at least 20% mark up on parts
its why i was bitchin, lol

in myy opinion i over payed 7-8 hrs labour and and about 500.00 in parts so 1200.00-1300.00

i dont mind nugging the economy forward but im not trying to jump start it myself

Can u call a project a project if you r not doin the real work yourself? Expect to pay if your not doin everything yourself.
Good Luck and hope to see some Pics of this car.

Now the fun begins ..... Due to tickets I've been dropped by certas
And I refuse to pay 12 grand lumpsum to facility so I'm off road till June 2014
What can I do to it till then ... ???? Let's see

[Supraclean]

what? I cant make sence of your paragraph.

[DreadedFist]

I too, discovered the pain of paying someone else to work on my car. It's amazing how fast something adds up when you add labour into the mix.

Suffice to say, I now do everything on mine.

Lookk at it this way working on your car is always win/win and oh and uh more win. The information you'll gain from the research or even just the experience should be excellent and on top of that your saving large coin. Also if by chance something breaks you know where to start and finish. If someone else does it well we don't need to go over that again
