Just started renting a garage. Need car work?[views:16545][posts:56]________________________________ [Oct 4,2007 8:47pm - sxealex ""] If anyone needs car repairs hit me up im renting a garage in Lexington with my buddy and doing side jobs on the cheap. Lite stuff is even better. we will be taking jobs in a week or so. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 4,2007 8:59pm - Kinslayer ""] I may need a new clutch on a 1998 S-10 soon...prob like 2-3 months. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 4,2007 9:43pm - I_am_not_me ""] I won't even mention the irony that you so recently wrecked your car... Oh wait, I just did. Granted, it'd be far MORE ironic were the thread timing reversed. |
| _________________________________________________ [Oct 4,2007 11:41pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Alex can do your clutch easy, he's replaced plenty of them |
| _________________________________________________ [Oct 5,2007 10:18am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] bu,p |
| _________________________________ [Oct 5,2007 11:31am - sxealex ""] yea i can do the clutch... do u know if its hydraulic or cable? |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 5,2007 1:19pm - BlackoutRick ""] I'll be hittin you up if that's cool. I got a 94 Ford Taurus that always needs something. Usually front end and suspension shit. Fuckin Fords!! |

Lite stuff is even better. we will be taking jobs in a week or so. Where is this garage? And if it's not too far from me, need any help running it? I could use some side work, and I've been doing this shit for some good time now. I don't know everything, but I know a good amount plus I'm a fast learner. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 8,2007 12:24pm - weird ""] No offense but how much do you know about cars? How did you learn what you know about them? Why should someone trust you with their car? If I want something cheap, I'll do it myself or go to a friend who is a mechanic. |

Why should someone trust you with their car? If I want something cheap, I'll do it myself or go to a friend who is a mechanic. Not sure who that's directed to, but if it's directed to me: I know quite a good amount. I went to school for auto mechanics for a little while, have worked in 3 garages, and do all my own work myself. Not to mention some of my best friends are mechanics, my uncle's a mechanic, my cousin's a mechanic, some of my old bosses (not garage jobs) are mechanics, most of the people I work with are mechanics, etc. I think I know a fairly good amount after a couple years of all of this. |

Sorry man no room... really appreciate the offer I'll let you know if we ever need anything. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 1:35pm - sxealex ""] we dont do body work and we cant do a transmission flush or radiator flush cuz we dont have the proper equipment... we can obviously change the fluid tho. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 1:36pm - sxealex ""] We are accepting jobs now. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 1:41pm - sxealex ""] yep hit us up |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 2:43pm - morgirion ""] curious... how much are you renting the garage for? me and my buddy were looking to do the same thing. how many bays? lifts? |
| __________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 11:51pm - sxealex ""] we got a deal from a friend and there is no more space in the building. we have 2 bays there were no lifts but we did an engine for a lift trade. the garage is in the middle of the woods so it will be mostly side jobs for now. my buddy is ase certified. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 11:51pm - sxealex ""] tell your friends it will be cheaper than a garage.. we have low overhead. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 12,2007 1:24pm - sxealex ""] bump bizzle for brokeness |

I can... got the money for it? hahha NO.... although that would be amazing... you know what project i would rather do instead... its cheaper and would be even more of a "WHAT THE FUCK I GOT BEAT BY THAT?!" kind of thing |
| _________________________________ [Oct 14,2007 2:27pm - sxealex ""] ummm.... no we don't know? |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 15,2007 2:50am - thegreatspaldino ""] well josh knows and thats all that matters... basically you take two garret T3 turbos... weld up headers with a flange to connect a turbo with an external wastegate (1 turbo and wastegate for each side obviously), hook those mofos up to an lt1... an lt1 thats nestled inside a buick roadmaster/chevy caprice wagon. with the right tuning and injectors, that should be good for a safe 550 rwhp on the t3s in stock form. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2007 4:27pm - sxealex ""] tunning american station wagons is so epping,nh 1990. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2007 4:29pm - sxealex ""] if ur gonna tune a wagon do the 302 in a volvo wagon thing thing and go from there. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2007 4:34pm - sxealex ""] actually i guess u can put a 350 in too http://youtube.com/watch?v=vs100JqQGuw |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2007 4:35pm - sxealex ""] supposedly bolts right up no kit required. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2007 4:40pm - sxealex ""] i could make one of those for like 10,000. not as nice as the one in the video tho. |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 15,2007 4:51pm - thegreatspaldino ""] well im getting a roadmaster/caprice wagon regardless. best band vehicle ever. but yeah... lt1s are cheap to tune. t3's are cheap to buy. woodpaneling is totally stealthy. basically i want it to be quiet... like... stock exhaust, maybe a little grunt to the sound. but i want an electronic exhaust cut out about 18" after the back of the turbos for maximum performance and almost instant spool. nothing like spanking porsches and vettes in a "grandma" wagon... while hauling equipment! ;) |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2007 8:30pm - sxealex ""] v8 will be loud no matter what.. even my dodge van is loud enough |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 16,2007 7:28pm - BlackoutRick ""] How much to install those airride suspension assistance in a 1990 chevy van? |
| __________________________________ [Oct 17,2007 11:55pm - sxealex ""] i don't think there would be crazy amounts of labor for that but they are like $600 plus for parts I think. I dunno if you are serious about let me know ill look into it. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 18,2007 12:03am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i want six TVs in my trunk |
| __________________________________ [Oct 18,2007 12:10am - sxealex ""] god damn i take it back seems like a decent amount of parts in that kit |
| __________________________________ [Oct 18,2007 12:10am - sxealex ""] i will put 6 tvs in your trunk for 20 bucks |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 18,2007 1:14pm - BlackoutRick ""] I have the Airride. It just needs to be installed. The "bags" are installed between the leaf springs and the frame channel. |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 18,2007 1:23pm - thegreatspaldino ""] airride suspension is such a bitch. in the lincolns the airrides always craps out and it always costs like 1k+ to fix. |
| ______________________________________________ [Oct 18,2007 1:35pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Can you drop an STi engine into my 95 Legacy Wagon? And then put five monitors on the intercooler? |
| _________________________________ [Oct 18,2007 1:52pm - sxealex ""] arg someone give me a real job... like clutch, brakes or ball joints 'rsumptin. |
| ______________________________________________ [Oct 18,2007 1:57pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] I think everyone prefers to throw out their frankencar projects But my car does need brake work... |
