98dxhatch

Ok, my mechanic wants $3,000 for the following to be done to my car:
(98 DX hatchback just in case you were wondering )

-GReddy TD-04 15g kit (new)
-FMIC (most likely Spearco due to size)
-Boost guage
-HKS turbo timer
-Progress lowering springs
-new Fan/AC/Alternator belts
-Alarm install w/ door actuators, keyless entry, remote start
Of course he will be doing all of the install work himself, and he will guarantee it for 1 year.
This is all on an auto until I get the $$ for a tranny swap. So am I getting ripped off? No this does not include tuning or SAFC. Those I will have to get later.

Forgot to include that I provided the alarm kit for him to install, while he is providing the door actuators. So $400 for an alarm install seem steep. My guess is more like $200 w/ actuators.

if it include turbo kit, the deal is good

yea, of course the kit is brand new direct from GReddy, in fact, it just arrived via Fedex at their shop. I'm still waiting for them to install the shat.

Figure this:

-GReddy TD-04 15g kit (new) $1900
-FMIC (most likely Spearco due to size) $500
-Boost guage $50
-HKS turbo timer $100
-Progress lowering springs $150
-new Fan/AC/Alternator belts $100
-Alarm install w/ door actuators, keyless entry, remote start $400

Thats approximately $3200 worth of ****, not including the install price itself... so not too bad...

well the kit I'm getting is the one for the 92-95 civic's. he says that it will bolt right up to my D16y7 so... I'll eventually get the Y8 IM or Skunk2 D-series IM later on. But I'm saving up for a BOV and 5spd tranny swap.
