anyways got a few bits n pieces done at a local mechanic and asked for an rough estimate on costs , and was i shocked when i saw the total

some of the stupid things i read are :

- 900 for engine transplant (thats fine by me) ...but 800 labour to remove the old parts such as extractors, water pumps etc, from the old engine onto the new engine!!? and another 250 for installing gaskets, clutch, fly, bearing.

- 250 for a bolt on exhuast catback in labour...with minor welding

- engine degreased wash for $120 ???!

- TRIAL FIT my CAI which cant even fit onto $320

now im going in to install my CAI and its almost done. and i just followed the instructions....i don't see how they cant do it. I dont see how i should pay for something they are imcapable of doing. not like i supplied the wrong CAI.


SO WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS????!
