    F$#K that, he'll keep the name on the car even after events for that price. At the BBQ i've been considering raffling off a set of blue valve stems and an AutoArt watch. I used to work for a place that sold AutoArt crap and it was cool stuff so I set up an account with them

    If you have a couple chips in your compressor wheel thats probably it. I had a wheel with just a little bent edge on 2 fins, very very minor, and the thing would buck intermittently

    Lol, funny thing about family. I refused to work on my mom's car for the longest time because she's one of those people that dont even remotely know a damn thing about a car except what the gas and brake pedal do and she blames her car problems on the mechanics. She had her car in at a shop I...

    I think you need the Weapon R CAI ;) J/K, does this low RPM miss happen during boost or just driving? Pull the intake off and check the compressor wheel

    Yeah i know about that. I'm gonna have a sign a waiver so if he severs his arm, thats his prob, lol. Average labor rate around here is $95-$100+. The crappy ass little crap shops are expensive and the good shops, the only ones I would recommend going to if I didnt have mine are all $100+ now :(...

    Well he's already supposed to be a "walkin billboard" and that hasnt really done jack, but whatever. I will have him sign a contract obliging him to attend at least 4 track events within the year whether it be NASA, AutoX, SCCA, or even drag i guess although I couldnt really care less about that

    He's not a trained mechanic but he did go to the same school for automotive that I did, but didnt continue with automotive since he felt there wasnt any money in it. So he can turn a wrench which is all I need him to do while i'm turning a wrench on somethin else

    Yeah, I got the same buddy and friend system, lol. He would be a friend, lower turn around so it doesnt hurt normal flow. But Suprahero, talking about what you said $1K is $1K, I also been thinking about that. If i'm not crazy slammed with work income is income. I'm working something out with...

    Yeah thats a point he keeps bringing up telling me all the advertising he does and all the work he brings in for me, but he's refered 2 cars in 6 months. 1 was just a clutch job so he's giving himself waaaay to much credit for that. I know what your saying about no "friend" discounts. I dont...

    Here's a scenerio, let me run it by you guys and tell me what you think. So I ran my little garage shop for awhile. My labor rate was $45/hour. I have this friend who's brought me 2 of his friends to get work done also. One was big build, one was just a clutch job. So I tested his car early...

    Yes... interesting. Well to do that head work they had to take off some piping right? Check for a boost leak. Check the couplers for tears, or even the vacuum line for the boost gauge that tees behind the intake manifold.

    Well you said you had your timing really advanced right? Have you retarded it to see if that handles it yet? Lets quit with the chit chat and get some hands on. Set timing back to base and see if it still misses. How much are you boosting at? What grade fuel you using? How many miles has the...

    HKS 3mm Head Gasket?

    I've overheated and blown hoses off 3 times, cracked spark plug porcelain twice but no BHG with Cometic. Y'know theres always different circumstances. I also havent heard of any of the other cars I know running Cometics blowing them. Then again I havent heard of anyone blowing an HKS gasket...

    Take the filter off and take a pic of the honeycomb on the inside for me. It does look alright but it could be covering up part of the honeycomb
