I do basic stuff. coilovers, sway bars, fmic, bushings, exhaust, plugs, fluid changes minus coolant. Anything that bolts on and off easily. I think its fun and gives you a certain amount of pride in your car.

The turbo, turbo inlet, clutch, timing belt, injectors, fuel pump and such were done at Area1320. One of the few shops I trust my car to.

Could I have done them myself? Sure I could, but I dont have all the proper tools. While I have a decent collection of tools but I dont have the tools to take out broken/stripped bolts. A competent shop has the ability to take care of such a disaster in minutes where as I would be running to the hardware store in a panic and possibly be without a car for a day or two.

HAVING THE PROPER TOOLS IS EVERYTHING!
