KillJoy Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 First off, if you have to ask if your Honda qualifies....no. It does not...by ANY means. So, you guys with High End cars: Do you work on your own car, or do you pay to have someone else do it? The reason I ask is, I get a lot of enjoyment from wrenching on my car, and the feeling of "I did it myself". So....??? KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I suppose you are awaiting a response from, Tilley, Sam, Cavin and those guys? Good Question I am interested as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I know that they do a lot of the work on their cars as this has been discussed tons of times here. But some things on high dollar cars you just want to pay for, i.e. Tilley's turbo set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I don't really consider a Z06 a 'high dollar car' but, yes, I do ALL of my own work, minus painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I wouldn't call my bucket high dollar but the drivetrain is up there. Everything but the machine work on the block was done by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 My car is not high dollar, but I pay people to fix it. I could take the car apart and put it back together... but I have no patience and anger management issues. I once threw a muffler across the garage and put a huge dent in the wall.

koolrayz Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 plus one more for doing all there own work except machine shop work. In addition I do all my own tuning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPFSTheFett Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I use to do everything on my own so I could say 'I did it'. But I can really careless who does the work now. I just want it done right. If it's a fairly easy job I'll just do it myself, but if it's anything too major I'll just pay someone to do it. So when I plan out my mods, I'll just plan it out with installation charges included. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linc5.0 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I agree with who cares who does the work...alot of people dont have the time or the patience to do it themselves...or the proper tools. If you do it yourself and think that makes your car better....here's a cookie http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:wmMhO_Xh0Q3EtM:http://twiggs.org/images/5203-bakery-crisp-chocolate-chip-cookie.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just curious that if the guys who could can plunk down coin for a car worked on it themselves. Simple actually.... KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vander Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 For high dollar cars go to Evans Automotive. They work on more higher priced cars than anywhere else in Columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS69 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I am assuming your talking about a late model high car, I do my own wrenching/painting on my hobby stuff. I dont have a machine shop so block work is farmed out and automatic transmission work I farm out also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
