Intercooler Install, Melbourne

[Gazee]

LoL thats true... just depends how you are... if you've worked around cars previously then should be ok, if you havn't and are dumbfounded by your motor & engine bay and cutting holes and fins and removing front bars and shit then give the workshop $250 and call it a day...

Yer and when you use an angle grinder on ur plastic front bar to cut it back to fit the cooler make sure u wear shit shoes.. as the plastic that flicked off stuck to my shoe burnt a hole in it (and my socks) and burnt my foot...

so add on another $150 for shoes

$10 for socks

30 cents for a bandaid!

Thanks for all your opinions guys its really helpful. After thinking about i think i might go with RE customs and pay the money, at the end of the day i could get it done with some help but like some ppl have said, and from my previous experience, some jobs are a b!tch and as much as i would like to put it in myself i think with something like this i really dont wanna mess it up casue i dont want to end up doing more damage then good.

Oh and i also like the idea of dropping it off in the morning and picking it up possibly that night with a fat cooler sitting on the front of it ready to suck some air.

Cheers,

Coolers do not suck air

but wouldnt you rather install it yourself then have the knowledge & experience of it? so you dont have to pay someone again if something needs to be done with it. Dont always think just cos a workshop did it, it will be perfect - my friends car went in for a service and the wrong oil filter was put on :|

agree

there's always a first time for everything. you might make a mistake or two but you learn from them and you'll know exactly what to do the second time you install a front mount.

don't know about you but i'd wanna do as much mods as i possibly can my myself. might not be as professional but meh, can't beat the satisfaction knowing you installed it yourself. you gain knowledge, experience etc...

each to their own i guess

Once you do a front mount yourself, you'll end up paying for it to be done the next time around
