higher priced jobs usually contain better materials and time preparing the job.....cheaper jobs mean break out the dynabraid air sander and wiz it down tape it up and paint it.....then wait for the shrink backs in a month or so,and fades ect needing to be redone much sooner......the dearer jobs mean wet sand windows out paint it once....rub it down wet and flow coat it....then the job last's for many years....take your pic,its horse's for course's as they say

:D I do agree....but do you have to be there to watch them do this?

To make sure you are paying for the work you asked them to do on your car.

This is the question........I am in the opinion that when you are taking your pride and joy to anyone

for service etc. You should be able to see the progress of the thing...making sure they are at least working on the thing and not on their own cars instead.

I learn't this leason from a workshop i was taking my car to.

Just because they have nice examples of cars in their drive way does not mean they are going to make yours

look like them or spend time in fixing the faults you requested of them.

I have had not one good experience with Panel beaters/painters or high performance workshops.

Kid learn the hard way or be smart and take ylwgtr(even pay him ) with you. He can see if the job is done or not,

Unfortunetly you cant and makes you a easy target for all these establishments.

:(

No offence matt...great quote only works for suckers......why dont we all buy 911 turbos......we will have paid alot of money...i instead prefer to

see 7 second hand r34 gtr's parked outside.

I will sell you an office chair that retails for $400 for $150.

That is not correct....your statement is flawed.

But having said that, shop around and ask what you are getting for your money.

I agree some people charge a resonable price but others charge like a wounded bull.

Saying the wounded bull is a better is incorrect. :D

huh?

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
