lol @ saff and james

Yeh.. adding to Berin's comment, IF you have the cash you might as well do the entire 100k service while you're at it to save on labour later, IF it hasn't been done already, which is pretty much what we did when I did my gasket recently.. (Thanks to Jack for picking me up in the city!!)Except we did all of it at home so it was.. less than 1k, basically just parts and a torque wrench etc. Head wasn't warped luckily.

My coolant went all over the injectors, fuel rail etc which was a pain, had just replaced all the bloody ORings too. And now it looks like my coilpacks are fried.

There's a thread somewhere on everything you should do in the 100k service, but alot of ppl only do the bare minimum, depends how much you want to spend. Of course things like brakes etc, non engine components or top hoses can be done later.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
