    haha

    I don't think he'd want any free plugs if it involves doing more dump installs for $80, poor dude.

    I'd get that in writing before you take the car there :)

    I some how think the price might rise once the workshop finds out what a bitch of a job it is.

    well ive meet him quite a few times and he said he'd look after me

    because my mate is a regular there and ive gone with my mate just about every time so he knows me by now, i also told him there'd be 2 zeds in for it.. he said 80 each car.. he's not the type of guy that'd go back on his word, real down to earth guy, i might even give him a hand if he lets me, or give him some pointers

    Hey Trav let us know when it is done, and if theguy is still willing to do

    it for 80 i'll take my car there too(i think you gave me his number). But like Chewy and Peter said, once he sees it and knows what is involved, i reckon :LOL: he'll slug me with a 300 bill just to make up the money he lost while doing yours.

    Ah shit, i better ring him on monday and get it in writing;)

    he got the drivers side off and then went to do the passenger side

    and one nut was too rusted and was gonna break off, he sprayed some industrial shit on it a few imes but it wasnt enough to get it safley out, and he doesnt wanna snap it, so he gave the bottle of stuff to me to spray on the bolt over the weekend and im taking it back in the morning, theres no need to get it in writing he seemed pretty happy still and it only took him 10 mins to get the dump off, he didnt mention anything about it being a pita, so im pretty 100% certain you'll still get em on for 80, i'll let you know monday, fingers crossed

    If you have a hoist and air tools it aint that hard!

    Any more than $100 is robery guys! Some mechanics/ people like to make out its brain surgery:angry:. When I did mine took me an hour lying on the garage floor with shit tools and one bolt which wouldnt move:thumbsdown:, and eventually broke. Its a shit load easier if you can get under the car standing.

    when it broke did you have to take the turbo off and drill it out?
