All work is done myself minor to major w/ an extra set of friends hands from time to time.

I dabble in the tuning but use 4WS to dial it in remotely

 

Im trying to do all the work my self, im learning just trying to find someone to spend the time to show me and not just do it all is the hard part

 

Got a lift,welder, tube bender, parts washer,mill, lathe.....huge snap-on tool box filled with tools etc. I do ALL my own work from beefing up a tcase to drop in pistons. I dont do computers tho but im learing from my tuner....i do alot of work on my friends evos also....its a fun hobby plus i can make a little cash on the side.

This is not just on evos tho....gotta 65' scout im doing a soa lift on now. Cars are my passion lol.

 

Dam that's dope man. I know that being how the economy is some people can't afford to have there cars go to a shop and have some work done instead they try to do it them selfs. I know my limit as far as what to do although i try to read and learn as much as i can.

 

Once I purchase mine, I am hoping to learn to tune it myself...luckily I have a couple of buddies to help that are experienced tuners and can show me the ropes.

 

I try to do everything myself except tuning.
I don't have a mechanical background so I just look up a how-to and get to work.
Some stuff is just obvious though
So far I have done stuff like injectors, fuel pump, shifter bushings, TBE, MBC, wideband, ported IM, EM and turbo...
Next is rotors, pads, ss lines and swift spec R's

 

I've seen vids on how to install most of the stuff i'll try to install some of them my self if i can i only have a 155 piece craftman set lol.

 

yes, except for tuning!

 

π! Same here.

 

I've worked on quite alot of cars in my life and motorcycles so I can do everything except fabrication. I'm sure I could learn to do it but I've never gotten into it but rebuilds and clutch installs etc I do myself. Saves alot of money too to have these skills.

 

Ahh yes I forgot tuning which I also don't do so add it to the list

 

I do very basic simple installs (turbo timer, heat shields etc. etc.). Anything much more than that it goes to the shop. I tuned the car in the past as well.

 

i need more tools. Trying to get my wife to get me some more for x-mas lol

I did all 3 on my own vehicles, now I'm forced to do it on all my friends' cars till I can afford another on my own
