im screwed.... no doubt it took awhile to get all my stuff and i dont have the oil pan or water pump yet should be here mid next week.....I could technically have someone tune my cobb from out of state chickenwafer the guy who i got the kit from tuned his cobb himself and offered to do it instead of using MM...I just need stuff installed.
whats the deal with JPR............. I know they just quoted someone $900 for a normal greddy turbo install.

I would listen to steve.... go to his mechanic for the install.... it will prob take a week..... then go to dave for the tune.... Dave is busy too and has other cars there... at least your car will be priority at steves mechanic. Also maybe you can save a few things for the trip back... and NOT throw so much in at once..

ummm, all those cars companies you mentioned have the same if not more amounts of problems then the 8 does...and what makes them worse is...none of us really know how to work on them
the way the ****'s do things is completly different from the rest of the world, so if your thinking your going to save by getting one your going to end up paying more for it in the end, especially when things go wrong, just shop labor rates in general are more expensive, assuming wayne mazdas labor rate is around 85 dollars an hour, something like a bmw is probably close to 110 an hour
its your decision buddy, im just trying to get you to see the bigger picture.
the car doesnt bring respect to the driver, the driver brings respect to the car

Hes right.
Omar even though i like touching cars inside and out i wouldn't even touch a newer BMW just because of how much reverse engineering goes into them. There shop manual rates for changing the simplest things are stupid high.
Anyways few weeks left for Deals
