Thanks for the feedback to all you page 1 guys (half of page one anyway)...

I guess the thread can be closed, or moved to wasteland now

Called them up. They want to charge me $500 for installation and machining on flywheel. I was like "WTF!" , laters

$499 of that is simply due the pain involved in getting the top starter motor bolt back in.

If you've ever had to do it you'll under stand!

Well I have no idea how much a clutch install is worth, but Bens time is definately worth whatever price tag he puts on it. I guess you could go to any unknown mechanic that probably sells stolen parts and breaks/steals a bunch of other parts on your car while they're at it, so you keep giving them/losing money for months, but ultimately you pay for quality.

Of course some mechanics charge more than you'd expect and yet still do an extremely crappy job, but I've never heard one complaint about Racepace or their work, unlike most other 'performance' workshops in VIC.

Didnt you notice something there Snowy?

bcc23 is obviously paying to get it done.

So another obvious, he has never done it himself, just another internet mechanic

Wonder if he can fix my browser, it wont stay the size i want it to

[adznight]

I like Nachos!

[sloutch]

dude $500 for a clutch installation, i can get it way less than that in other performance workshop. No way i'm getting it installed there.

yes i know it's a pain changing the clutch. Gotta pull the heavy mutha fu**ing gearbox out.

[RNGTR]

No ones forcing you.

Get it done wherever you want.

Im happy to pay the price for the best GTR workshop in Australia to work on my car. Considering the time & effort Ben has put into my car over the years & the care and attention to detail its received when there.......

Sounds like you have been going to the wrong mechanics, don't put everyone under the same banner .

Not all good, honest, mechanics charge top dollar

How many people here can honestly say they have only used the one same mechanic for the last 6yrs, and not just to do oil changes, i am talking serious modifications.

Still waiting...

Unfortunately you had a major falling out with Vic, but I heard two different sides to the story. Before the parting you were very close to Vic and George, so if you have anything else to add I am more than willing to listen. As the falling out between both of you was personal, I decided to keep out of it and hopefully remain friends with both yourself and Vic.

To date I am yet to see/hear any justification why I should go elsewhere. His work has been A1 with reasonable prices, and my car has been proven to be a very neat and strong formula. Not saying he is perfect, as every one/shop has a few irritating moments, but at the end of the day the "whole picture" is completed to a very high standard.

If you have any information to the contrary I would really appreciate it if you told me directly, and in private.

Well said Rod.

Thread closed. Its quickly turning to shit.

I have my own views on many places around Victoria as i've used many and only found one to be worth the money.
