i like the blue it looks like the car in tokyo drift

 

if it looks like a car from fast and the furious tokyo drift, i think you shouldnt get it jon

 

For only $1500, you must know someone really, really well....

How long did the guy tell you it would take? Is he stripping the car down (bumpers, windows, rocker panels, etc..)? Have you seen his other work? What does he charge regularly for a custom paint job?

The reason I ask is that I caution you in trusting your car to just anyone... I got a price break on mine because I knew the guy and he wants to use my car as a demo for his work in the future... All said and done I will still pay around 3K. I also asked a couple of people on the forum that had custom paint jobs and they paid between 4-5K. On top of that this paint job will probably take about 6 weeks (my paint guy said that it can take up to 3 months to do a customized job)... You may also need to factor in the costs associated with dings, dents, and chips (down to the metal) as they can get pricey pretty fast....

Not to rain on the parade... if you can do this and get a guarantee from the guy then I still think it will be worthwhile to look into...

 

lol..... fnf ftw.... i love acronyms woot.

 

1500 ill paint your car, got some good ****

some dope pink i think is just up your alley

 

id do the swap if it really is 1500

 

i believe that it is like 830 for the turbo and a 500 core charge. 830 aint that bad

 

but then dont you need all the other ****. intercooler chargepiping, bov?

 

i thought you knew that car is the one in faf tokyo... lol
that girl drives it

 

i didnt remember

 

I thought you were going in the airforce? Are you even going to be around in March?

Also... if you are going to spend money on your car, why not fix the busted roller rocker in your motor that is making all that noise before it shatters completely and travels through your engine?

Just askin'

 

you mean his injectors?

 

I like the concept

 

After reading this thread:
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...e+engine+noise

it's fairly obvious that this is the problem with Jon's car....

 

dude i was thinking about it. its up in the air..... and if something happens w/e you pay to play..... and the guy still had the problem so it might not even be the roller rocker

 

yeh. i mean still it will pay off. then you let me run your car at the track and i will get you that 12s time slip

 

lmao. my car should be 12s as is.... at least low 13s

 

yes it should. my better hit low 12s after my smg tune or i am driving it off a dam cliff. and getting a GTO

 

Agreed on the Roller Rocker repaired first comment!

And a BTF K04 > Paintjob in my eye's as well! Good advice being given out

 

the guy got the noise back though.....he doesnt know what the problem is.......

 

He replaced the roller follower and the sound went away, and then came back. He obviously had a broken part in there, but he thought it was a factory defect. Since it came back, he now thinks he has a bad valve spring, which caused the initial failure in the first place. When he replaced the roller follower he didn't replace the springs.

I think checking it out is better than just hoping it's ok. Everyone that has heard your car that knows about the ecotech (except the dealership) has said that something sounds wrong. Take it to Betley Chevy in Derry. Forget Macmulkin.

 

Agreed, something is def wrong! I dont care what your dealer says! Doesnt sound healthy!
