johnny g Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Dude, to be fair - if you're umming and ah'ing over this, any other work you get done will be a shock. A job, done properly - by a competant mechanic/tuner, takes as long as it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Dude, to be fair - if you're umming and ah'ing over this, any other work you get done will be a shock. A job, done properly - by a competant mechanic/tuner, takes as long as it takes. I was thinking the same. These cars are getting older and sometimes big (and I mean proper big) bills are just around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 ive been doing most at home mate, but i dont have the tools to deal with stubborn bolts anyone can change a few nuts and bolts but i dont really want to be messing under the car on a gravel drive if i snap a stud im in the shit someone on here not long ago took his car to the garage and when he picked his car up there were problems that wasnt happening before he took the car in and people are terrible in my area. not exactly hard work but how am i supposed to get a grinder in to grind the nut off? thats how i usually do it if it wont undo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Dude, to be fair - if you're umming and ah'ing over this, any other work you get done will be a shock. A job, done properly - by a competant mechanic/tuner, takes as long as it takes. This. These cars arn't cheap to maintain, a siezed down pipe is as cheap as its going to get really. I would rather pay someone I know will do a good job regardless of cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
