hey guys how much is it for an install on the supercharger from the dealer? if not the dealer how much from like a shop?????

 

^I paid $700.

I stopped getting emails whenever there was a new post!! Climbing closer and closer to the 200 page mark lol.

 

YES YOU DO!!.. lol denny if you wana do it.. im down... i got a super good friend who can help do the clutch install with us... he might charge the same or less then joel ..but he is one of few i trust with a car... LMK and ill ask him how much he would charge...

 

Ask him for me too plz =D

 

look who it is! lol. it depends on the dealer and how long it takes them to install it. trd says it should only take 6-8 hours to install. so i would ask the dealer how many HOURS it takes for them to install it. once they give you a number, ask what their labor rate is (usually anywhere from $80-$100 since dealers are individually owned and they can charge whatever they want). so multiply the hours by the rate and you should have a good idea. a lot of people make the mistake of asking the service writer/advisor, how much do you charge to install it? this gives them the liberty to pull whatever number they want out of their a$$. lol. so they usually end up raping you that way. but typically anywhere from $480-$800 for installation. anything more than that and they're taking way too long to install it or just trying to dick you.

 

aaah! i cant take it anymore!!! these brakes are ____ing me off and i wont have the rotors till late feb-early march. im just going to autozone and getting cheapy duralast rotors/pads in the mean time. should run me about $94.13, but i guess it's worth my safety. or maybe i should just get cheapy brake pads and resurface the rotors? what do you guys think? i'd save myself $50 and i only need the rotors for 2 months. i dunno, i'd feel bad getting rid of the duralast rotors when theyd practically be brand new.

 

dude GET EBC GREEN PADS AND DURALAST ROTORS... FTW! it works great!! ...ive used that combo before

 

i just need the cheapest solution for the next two months. i have dezod brake pads chilling in the crib and im waiting on brembo to send the rotors.

duralast pads are 25.99 and i think resurfacing my two front rotors would be about 10 bucks. i think that should do and get rid of all the squealing going on down there.

HEY DOES ANYONE HAVE THAT STUPID MEASURING THING TO MEASURE ROTOR THICKNESS? im not even sure i have enough metal on there to turn em.

thx in advance ladies.

 

has anyone used paypal here TO RECEIVE MONEY... i've already set up my bank account .... when i wana receive money all i gotta do is give them my email address correct?? and they can use that to log into paypal and pay my ___??

 

The tech at pepboys said the front two are out of spec, like 2 months ago.

I've never shaved my rotors >.<

I always get the cheap brake pads.

Good thing my wife is getting me the upgraded rotors for xmas. LOL

 

Yea, I recieved money thru paypal before.
Just give them the email address you registed with paypal, and as long as you have confirmed the bank account in your paypal account your fine.

Make sure after you recieve your money into your paypal account, you transfer it to your bank account, or else it just remains in your "account" @ paypal.

They have there own bank too.

Transfer from them to your paypal is instant, transfer from your paypal to your bank account takes 2-3 days.

 

yea, give them your email and they send you the money, minus the paypal fees. Just make sure its an instant payment, not an echeck or anything like that

 

thanks fellas... mo money mo money mo money

 

^ Aqui lo que importa es el CAAAASHHHH!!!!!!!

 

Yummmmmmm....

Cash, Benjamins, Bling, Greens, Dead Presidents, rain (as in "I make it rain, i make it rain"), Dinero, Lana (mexican term), so many terms lol.

More money more problems, lol. That statement is so true.

 

^ yea, but I was quoting an old commercial where the guy was "Si no te lo vende mi padre, te lo vendo YO! aqui lo que importa es el Cash!"

 

ohhhhh, lol.

 

Q F T

 

So I researched aluminum and copper, and this is the conclusion I have come to.

Aluminum gaskets are good because they expand (with heat) and compress (with cold) more than copper. So no need to retighten bolts as often as with a copper gasket. Aluminum is weak though.

Copper gaskets are a lot tougher, but they don't expand/compress as well as aluminum, meaning you'll need to retighten the bolts more often than aluminum.

So now i'm deciding whether or not to reuse the copper gasket till the other one gets here. I don't know when the new gasket will arrive, since the holiday season is backing up everything being shipped.

I'm thinking of removing it, and taking a look at it, i'm pretty sure its not warped. I wonder if I should have it machined flat.

Anyone know where I can get a machined flat surface surgery performed on a gasket? lol

 

Nevermind, I found a couple.

Under the listing, machine shops on google.

I thought they were called something else
