W00T!!!! The shop I went to today said they could do the custom exhaust piping for $280... kinda high. They said to just go ahead and eliminate the cat, and they could set up a mock one if I was worried about cops lookin for it. They also said they could prolly do my swap, find me a clip, and have everything running, labor they said would be about $1600. Ionno about how much they could get the clip for...
ALSO!!! here is the W00T PART!!!! They said for $300 if I left the car with them for one day they would get the smog certificate with passing for the car, no matter how bad emisions might be! I was with Toyceli8 (David) and they said this to both of us! They also are an hks dealer, apexi dealer, and very many other authorized dealer. (They got my HKS muffler in under one day!) Also did I mention they import, and legalize skylines... WoW! |

Is it? Hmm, I wouldn't know anyhow. But for 1600 labor, I suppose it would be worth it. Well, worth it if you're going to drop in the 3S-GTE.

He straight out told me that he would be breaking the law and risking his shop be shut down for $300, that seams pretty cheap to me, and its once every 2 years! |

Gardena has about 50-100 car shops, good luck in finding it, and I doubt its in the yellow pages under skylines

I would use EXTREME caution in dealing with a shop offering to break the law to 2 strangers,,,like, get it in writing, have pics of your car and all mods b4 leaving it etc...

I wasn't talking about anyone. I was just offering a little reminder that it will eventually get out -- just like the Curren taillight numbers.
No hard feelings though. So, what did you spend the 1.5K on?

Chrobis... you're doing the right thing by keeping your mouth shut... In doing so, you're preventing the shop from getting into legal trouble...
