  1. I am so mad at these guys you would not believe :mad: Last year I take my supra into them for a front main seal. They call me and say the the rear main is bad too. No problem, lets put a clutch in too while we are at it, even though mine was fine at the time. So about $2400 later including the new RPS clutch (~$700) I take my car home...I still have the oil leak plus now it is worse. I take it back to them, and they say "oh, must be the pan leaking" that will be another $1500 to pull the engine and fix the pan gasket. So i spent 1700 for labor to fix an oil leak that I still have.

     

    This week I took the car back in for what I thought was a front main leak. Turns out to be camshaft seals... They say $800 to fix it. I thought it was high, so I called another toyota dealer they said $500. Tasky is a rip off :bs:

  2. I was thinking... since there seem to be some decent guys up here in Mt.V, we should do a meet and greet on a friday night, then go to the track. We could use my office parking lot so the local police cant kick us out. Let me know if anyone is interested.

    :thumbup:

  3. I always ask for the old parts back to see if they did the work. My wife had a buick in the 90's the thermstat went out, it was very cold out so we took it to the buick dealer on Hamilton rd. They called and said the fan motor was bad, 200 to fix. I told them that is fine but I want the old one back. I picked upt the car the next day and took the old fan motor and put 12v to it. The motor purred like a kitten. I go back to the dealer tell them that I want my money back for the fan. They argue with me about it being bad. I tell them to get the mechanic, and put 12v to it. They get a battery and what do you know...it works. Then the mechanic shorts it out and smokes the motor. I got my money back :nutkick:
  4. What a trip that was.... Started out to STL about 9:30 PM thursday. After drive to Illinois I noticed a peice of rubber come off of the trailer tires so I pull over at the next exit and sure enought I have to change the tire 30 minutes later I am on the road. I get to STL anut 9:00 am set up camp in Granite City IL...uload the car and went out to the Chiropractic college I went to. I had a great time going out there. I got to meet some poeple I have not seen on a while.

     

    Anyhow, now to the meat of the story. After returning to Granite City, I was driving down Rt.3 and I blow my front main seal. Oil all over the car, on the ground, smoke... So I packed up on saturday and came home. 16 hours driving no racing due to a front main seal :mad:
