ive got a friend who thinks labour and incidentals are gonna cost more than you think

how much does he think it will cost if i paid someone to do it?

how much does he think it will cost if i paid someone to do it?

he says (and i quote)

"id say atleast $15k, probably over $20k"

"im sure the place in adelaide charges around $12k to do it, for 13b"

"i honestly cant see the exhaust manifold fitting in the engine bay, let alone the turbos"

"but i would like to see someone try :ninja:"

but hey sounds like you know a few people so if you wanna do it by all means go for it...

i was just a bit concerned it might be more expensive than you think :)

Now im gonna have to get my car to a body and paint shop to get that fixed...

Arhhhh so upset... Im gonna have a shower I think and a bourben...

Its the easiest thing to do...

just get some fully hectic stickers and put them over the top col :ninja:

what u could do, is remover that panel and just take it down to the body shop

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
