Time Taken

[Noxious]

My cars in to get a few mods put on....

Was just a bit amazed at how long they have estimated it will take to put on a few standard sorta mods. The place is quite professional andwell known, just a bit amazed.

FMIC, air filter, dump pipe, cold air intake. What would be your guess? I know that alot of people have had to to move a few bits n pieces on their gt-ts + other cars to fit the FMIC.

car is a 99 GT-T

I would guess about a day & a half, maybe more. It depends on what other work they have!!

I mean if a mechanic was to dedicate a time frame to sit down and do it from start to finish, in hours.

im not 100% sure but i would estimate around 2 hours (or a bit more) for the intercooler, Hour of even less for the dump. And the Cold air intake is a piss nothing job.

allow 6 hours for fmic if they are welding up the pipes from scratch, if its a kit probably half the time. depends if they get interrupted during the work. rule of thumb, get what they quote and add another day

No worries, cheers for the replies.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Paul's reply is pretty much spot on. I can guess a few workshops it could be from Perth, but how long have they said it will take???

8-9

well its simple. if they are a popular workshop then they will get stacks of emails and calls from dudes who want stuff and want advice. so they have to keep stop / strarting work on your car each time so yeah it can get sidetracked. so just add a day to whatever they've said. more often than not it will run late or delayed. its performance, theres always something gone wrong or not matched or doesnt fit etc
