jezza boii Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) 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.

funkymonkey Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 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. Fair bit of work for $500, which is what some other mechs have charged me for like 4 hours work. usual rate is about $25 an hour, so he spent 3 full days working on your car?

Rekin Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310874-vic-wasteland-thread/page/947/#findComment-5670106 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinkstaah Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 car sounds pretty mangled other than your sig what is wrong? 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. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310874-vic-wasteland-thread/page/947/#findComment-5670263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 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) 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.
