what did he do that was worth 500?

Removed old gearbox. Installed new gearbox, clutch kit, lightened flywheel, replaced shifter cables and speedo sender.

New driveshaft boots.

Oil leak fixed + oil change (including gbox)

And some other stuff which I can't remember Will check the receipt later. Fair bit of work for $500, which is what some other mechs have charged me for like 4 hours work.

I saw a van earlier with baby blue paint splashed all over it rofl. He certainly pissed someone off..

[funkymonkey]

imo, cars wit that much poke look good from that angle.. that is all

ridiculous from the back, ridiculous form the front.

says the habib rolling in a sedan with hobo spec suspension.

and by hobo spec, I mean when you park the car at night, hobos climb in the gap between your wheel and fender for shelter.

usual rate is about $25 an hour, so he spent 3 full days working on your car?

Usual rate? Lol you need to check a shop that isn't your cousins. It's sometimes double that

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

any mehanic/tuner I use charges a std rate of at least $100 per hour (doesn't mean i pay that, but it's what they charge)

And Femno charges me around $40 an hour. I think shan is loosing his marbles cuz he seems to be posting crap (more than usual) these days haha

[Sarumatix]

25 dollars an hour.. lol

[dezz]

gearbox in/out was $250+ pretty much everywhere back when I was rollin'.... $500 for all that doesn't seem un-reasonable

down to f**k

Jersey Shore - get on it

[Rekin]

haha yeh depends on the house, location and most of all the sellers motivation. If you see somethign you like link me i may have a contact within the agency selling it to get you a no bs idea on where its at.

yeh that happens out east and inner west a fair bit its bs its all private sale where i am thankfully - much easier for buyer /seller. You can grab a bargain at auction though particurarly when the market is favouring buyers like now.

cheers bro. The ones ive got my eyes on are all auctions so will have an idea of the pricing once the bidding war starts. First one this Sunday, so we'll see how it plays out haha

Well my mechanic tried to spin both wheels. The left one spun. The right didn't.

Turns out the handbrake was on BUT wasn't functioning on the left side so he got confused.

awesome mechanic

showing a little tyre is needed imo

Apparently dtf originated from superbad. Either way, I'm making dtf shirts if anyone wants em

Not much. Well other than the hilarious sig, the fact they have to get it to run with a piggyback ECU. But it's safe to say 99.9% of the issues are actually electrical in one form or another. I guess I'm just looking for someone who understands that wires carry electricity and as long as they carry it to whatever sensor is looking for what, it should be OK.

Apparently 'tis not that simple.

My local guy is $50 according to my last bill

I take everything i need for service/want changed. Pick it up the same day. Works out well.

Guy works with a lot of race teams and is in Europe a lot, was @ bathurst 12hr for instance

Good that I've finally found someone that i can trust locally AND clearly knows what he is talking about

Obviously still get Chris to do the major stuff. But general service type of thing, cant go wrong and it saves me 1.5hrs on trains + the drive there/back etc over 2 days.
