Are boosted members going soft?

[TROYMAN]

i do 99% of the work on my car..
the last thing that was done by a "mechanic workshop" was a ems install and tune..
which i had to re do because he decided to leave a few sensors disconected..

[ebxr8240]

We do most things ourelves except trans repairs and ECU tuning...
The thing that changes E series mods is the turbo B/A is cheap enough now for an 18 year old to buy..
The E series are getting so cheap its hardly worth spending the $7k on a $2k car..Besides the younger brigade
would possibly think the E series is old tech...Poppies old car etc...
Plus the fact people think these cars are hard on fuel and get talked into buying a smaller car..
Off susbject but a NEW Korean car can be a better buy than a 15 or so year old high milage one and have 5 years warrenty..

boosted has allways been soft

[EB_Ghia]

i do the majority of the work on my cars here.. allways have done.
the only time i have to get someone else to do it is when i have to get the lpg tuned, tyres, or rwc's... everything else i do myself.

I've had stereos fitted for me because i suck with electronics. and i had an exhaust fitted once too mainly out of lazyness though but apart from that diff changes gearbox swaps engine swaps. diff centre swaps, suspension changes all done by me and my mates. its relatively simple unbolt it throw old bit at your neighbours cat then bolt new bit in, and if you rmemory is poor or something is fiddly then use a video camera to film it as your pulling it apart so that if you cant remember how something goes then you have a referance.

Two reasons.

1. Slack or CBF
2. Shit canned if it goes wrong.


Personally I still enjoy working on cars whether it be my own or someone elses.

[Nikk O'lass]

I paid for someone to do my work because i didn't have the space or equipment at home to do it.

[NL_CONCORDE]

With the help of mates lack of tools or so i thought borrowed kev's engine hoist
the lane went from dead xr6 engine with a auto to a healthy xr6 and now T5
with the help of 4 mates 3 weekends and tool box with bugger all tools
so anythings possible if you put your mind and mates together
now to get it on a dyno as i dont have one of them in the backyard

Cheers guys

Haha

I got my EA and acquired heaps of tools, generally buying the best tools I could afford whenever I needed them under the assumption that I'd need them again.

Then when it broke and I sold it, I didn't use the tools for ages.

The MX-5 shat an air-compressor and suddenly I realised how much I actually enjoyed working on cars.

So the opposite of some of the others here, I went out and bought my EB so I'd have something to use all my tools on. How backwards am I?

Worst part is, for a car that I brought so it would break, it doesn't **** up. So I've had to spend money changing shit just so I can use my tools on it anyway.

[UNEZED]

I like to work on my car
but if i dont have the rite tools or know what im doing then i go to someone for help
but i try to do as much as i can
