Wat did it set u bak?

[Stoffa]

From a dealership with genuine parts I reckon just over $2K

[nztintin]

^^^

yeah anywhere else would halve that, i had the same done for $1k with genuine parts

[CMPLSV]

WINGERS NORTH SHORE, $1397 will put up the whole receipt if you dont believe me lol...

wanted it done once and done properly... was sposed to be $100 cheaper but the guy didnt realize my car was front mounted so it was more than originally quoted

[nztintin]

Fark thats cheap for wingers, i was quoted just a cambelt for that price at wingers in hamilton when i was getting mine done!

[CMPLSV]

... thats without any mates rates too- we normally go to greenlane for cheaper prices but had this done at north shore.

[DRFVDR]

not bad at all I reacon

cambelt,idlers,tensioner,cam seals,tappet cover gaskets and 5 hrs labour

good price I woulda charged similiar

removed the impreza large badge group from the back of my hatch.

just trying to decide if im gonna remove the Subaru one under the STi badge or not...

then its in for a respray coz they left quite an outline

[johnny5]

Yea was gonna take mine off to would a cut and polish get round the respray

[reaperblitz]

Depends. Mine was almost like it was embedded into the paintwork so no amount of cut n polish could save it

Will get a Touch up respray after a few more mods

[johnny5]

Was thinking bout doin a carbon wrap on boot as i ave a carbon bonnet ready to go on might be to much and im not big on fake ass things really

lol at that comment... my bonnet is carbon wrap not actually carbon fibre..... $900 for a standard style carbon fibre bonnet.... that can wait... haha

many other things to do before that.

Embedded badge ???? If there is a noticeable feeling to it use a straight cutting compound - there's a reason it's called cutting compound - it will do the trick alot cheaper than a re spray

I cringe when I see receipts like that - thats day light robbery -love being a mechanic and doing all my own work -

[madmike]

Today was a complete strip of the interior and repaint the rollcage...

Man what a prick of a job with the doors and glass in.

Yesterday was fix water leak in header tank and replace drivers side wheel bearing.

CLEANED MY OIL FEED OUT LASTNIGHT, HAD A LOOK FOR THE SMALL FILTER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BLOCK UP??

[Stoffa]

Just payed for some new rims today for the 22b. Can't wait to see em next week ;D

Rota grid 18x9.5 hyper black. Should give it the hell stance. And yes I am still keeping the original wheels, not going to get rid of them any time soon. they are awesomely light
