hey guys, my celica is getting a new motor at the time, but the place doing the work said they wanted to know which extra parts we want to replace, which would be quite an overestimate at the time. does anyone else see any of these parts to be way off estimate in price. clutch kit, 279. lower and upper radiator hose, 45 a piece. reseal kit, 355. timing belt, 244. waterpump, 170. ignition wires, 140. distributor cap and rotar, 95. carb gasket, 30. breather hose, 174. transmission seal, 110. temp-sending unit 75. oil sending, 80.... those are the extras that they want us to include. there is something else weird that says sub-replaced used engine with 2.0? im not sure what they are putting in my car, but we were quoted 2200 when starting and now they want 4500 for everything said and done. somehow this is very strange and seeming like its going to cost a lot more than quoted, what do you guys think about some of the prices they quote for the parts.

Hey guys i finally got my car back with the new engine and clutch installed. they said to get oil change in 500< miles and make sure there is no oil is leaking or coolant across the next few weeks. im babying the car like they said for about first 1000 miles to break the engine in. all in all i happy with the decision and it ended up being about 3k after all was said and done(breather hose cost 170 lol what a ripoff). little pricey but to keep the celica for at least another 3 years while still in school is fine by me. now i got to work on the body which needs some major touching up so hopefully when this summer class is over i can get some work done it and make it back to stock. thanks for all the input though guys, cause without ya i would be spending way more than necessary. 6gc for life
