I'm gonna go with maybe. I started doing mine and half way through, 2days in I said to hell with it. I totally could of done it but I just lost my patients on a garage floor. If I had a lift it would be a whole different story. But after watching mine be done I only see 2 real difficult parts. The rest is just common mechanics. With lift and the "right tools" I see a 5hr job if I did it my self with a buddy. I dont know why techs are charging so much.

Throw the BS flag all you want, I didn't witness it, but it's a friend that I trust.

When he does my clutch I'll put the 'ole stop watch on him =)

ok well my car went in on tuesday around 2:30 its now friday 10:43. the days of when im suppost to get it back keep getting pushed from like, "oh well we might have it out tonight, to oh well its gonna be tomorrow morning." this has happened twice now.

I went in there the other day and grabbed some food next door. i could see the back of the shop from where i was eating so i just watched. i couldnt see inside so i couldnt see my car but the head mechanic was suppost to be working on my car. i saw him numerous time walk out of the shop to other cars that were parked outside. i also saw him take an m3 on what im guessing was a test drive for a while, i had left by the time he came back atleast 30 minutes.

this is starting to get a little insane for a clutch install. i meen all they had to do was change it back to a pull style clutch system which i gave them all the parts for. could it really be that ****ing hard to look up the skimatic and put the pull style system back together bolt it on connect it? i doubt it. Im not formiliar with evo's enough but i know if i look at a skitmatic(spelling lol) im sure i could figure out how all the pieces fit together. I am missing i have now missed 2 days of work, luckly i work for my dad so its not a big deal but i need the money. i keep getting pushed back. they said they have a lift for project cars and a lift for everyday jobs. my car should be on the lift for everyday jobs which meens that if its been up there since tuseday afternoon it should be the only car being worked on. this is bs and is taking forever.

i am going to be super pissed if they try and charge me for a bunch of shop time.
