Need Good Mechanic

[HR-32]

Hey Guys,

I need a good mechanic in the southern area, my current mechanic just cant get it right!

I live in the Woodccroft area.

Thanks guys

Tried Shaun @ Boostworx?

What needs doing?

[Tangles]

Graham West Workshops (brett west, tell him Brendan with the Stagea sent you). marion rd.

Gotta replace my afm and a couple of coils, nothing major.

My mechanic quoted me $500 to replace my afm, i was like 'what the....?'

That's ridiculous i am changing mechanics! Had it serviced 4 weeks ago, they changed a couple of o-rings in the gearbox and now it leaks even more. They replaced a headlight globe, then didn't re-adjust the beam. its only small things i know but if you do a job right, then do a job right!

Yeah i have heard good things about Boost Worx and Graham West, will have to try there next time!

Thanks Guys

Give boostworx a try, they're currently doing all of my wiring, etc - and I'm very impressed with shauns attitude and work ethic. Their pricing seems very reasonable compared to some of the so called other "performance workshops" in adelaide.

Are you replacing the AFM with an item you are supplying, or was the workshop going to supply the afm in that quoted price?

No they were supplying the afm, 2nd hand original or new after-market, still they go for 250-300. I got 2nd hand from Adelaide Jap Dismantlers $195. After market = $290 new. Thats at least $200 labour for changing the plug! I can almost get a lock-bar for that.

well Adam, if you need to use my AFM for a while longer, then thats no probs mate.....!

start searching the for sale thread I reckon!

or make me an offer for it - I guess I wont need it in the future!

sent you a pm.

I am looking for someone down south as well

Definatly give Shaun a call @ Boostworx, He fitted my Z32 and fuel pump, cant quite remember how much but i think it was about $80-100 for the AFM fitted, then about the same for Fuel Pump.

Graham West and John Keen @ Hi tech is also good so i've heard. He is one of 3 brothers Bill @ ATS and the other brother is Turbo Tune(where John used to work) but havn't heard to many good things about TT!

Im in the middle of getting a heap of Whiteline suspension goodies for my Stagea.

Received today the front and rear fully adjustable 24mm thick swaybars, and the front castor kit.

Im also going to order a sub-frame alignment kit and the full front and rear Bilstein shocks (using standard springs, with no camber change), probably after next fridays payday.

Going to ask around places for how much for install (I could do the swaybars but probably not the rest).

Anyone have any suggestions?

My first point of call will be Pedders at Morphett vale (near my house) - has anyone got some suspension places they'd recommend to install some of these parts?

Cheers in advance.

Been taking my car down to Scott at AVS Suspension on south road.

He and his old man run the shop; friendly bunch and pretty good prices.

another vote to Shaun @ Boostworx

Brendan:

i got a friend who used to work in ASE, he now has his own business which is a mobile workshop (van)

he did my s15's suspension, don't think any workshop can match his price

His name is Ryan and u can contact him @ 0433 149 727
