smokin5s Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hell, you started IPS I still wrench on the smaller projects when I have time. Key word is time. *cough Rob had to do your air filter *cough I do when I have time, hell I was under the truck today... bu alot of things, either it's under warranty, or we have carriers and families now and would rather spend the time with those than under our cars getting pissed off.

Igor Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I still do for most things, if its something i cant do, or its just easier for a shop then ill take it to one, oil changes - thats on acura same price as buying the oil and filter from autozone.

KillJoy Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I do...... depending on how cheap I can have someone else do it BTW - NTB Downtown has Oil Changes for $18!!!! Fuck, you care barely buy a decent oil and filter for that! Let those guys (not Eugene, he is incompotent) get dirty (and make a little $) while you wait!

nurkvinny Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 No sponsor here has ever touched one of my cars. The one and only thing I have ever paid someone to do is to build a narrowed 9" for my S-10, and that has bit me in the ass hard. MULTIPLE times now. I could have paid for the specialty tools to do it myself twice over now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 gee I've never tapped a damn hole before like i know...you seemed rather uneasy about doing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I do at the shop with access to a lift. On the other hand I have NO PROBLEM doing extensive work in a garage/driveway with or without an air compressor. I'm old school roots.

Rally Pat Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Everything is in my garage by me, occasionally taking them to Sean's shop so that I have access to a lift to get to things underneath them easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleguy Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Oh, I also was able to talk a silly WRX owner into letting me cover his car in truck bedliner. Now he has a truckcartruck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotarded1647545491 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hell, I do other people's wrenching too. Just not a lot lately... I will always attempt to tackle the job myself. Very rarely do I fail. I enjoy pushing the limits of what I know, just out of my comfort zone, then looking back at it and wonder why I thought it would be so hard. That being said, I've had a few jobs that turned out to be complete clusterfucks as I ran into multiple challenges on what I thought would be a 2 hour job. THANKS AUDI! P.S. I sold that headache a year ago today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Depends on the vehicle, if its the daily I'd rather not fuck with it. Other than that, I do all the work on the 'fun' cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'm too poor to have someone else work on my cars. That and I'm too picky about shit. so I do all the stuff myself. (except tires, alignments, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 i do what im comfortable doing, and if i have any questions at all, rob is there to help with info or even helping me actually work on stuff... im not very good with wrenching, which is why i pay rob to do my wrenching for me usually... i went from very basic stuff like minor exhaust and brakes to trying to rip my car down to a frame, and it didnt go well...so i think im done trying to work on my own stuff lol, rob is taking over i do my own oil, and then pads/rotors, fluids, exhaust if it doesnt require welding, and any other small things like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
