ME!! I dont trust anyone. I have a friend that is a mechanic so most of the time I can use his garage. So if you have tools and a place to do it, you would be better off learning to do everything yourself, not only that you will save yourself money in the long run which=more money for mods.

Like someone said earlier, I've done everything on my car, but the tune... though I haven't gotten into the really nasty stuff yet. So far Ive done:

fluids
coilovers and TEAS
exhaust
MBC
boost gauge
Oil temp sensor/guage
Samco turbo/radiator hoses
and two 2 clutches!

I'll be putting on a new exhaust mani and O2 housing in a couple weeks, we'll see how that goes...

I do everything, including building 90% of my parts I have.

I am always unsatisfied with dang near everything, so I just build it all myself.

For all you people suffering through the cold snap - I checked my tire pressures last night and every tire was 4 to 5 lbs low. Here's some maintenance anybody can and should do.
