I don't trust garages at all.. they NEVER look after your car like you will... they will rag it and rev it hard from cold on the "test thrash".

I too am young (ish lol) and pretty much do everything DIY unless it requires specialist tools,

They make up faults and say "this needs doing that needs doing" when I clearly know that it doesn't! In the UK it seams the Toyota dealerships are the worst for it!! In my old SW-20 mr2 I went to get the wheel alignment done, they said "sorry we only half did it, as the bolts were too tight" For some reason I didn't kick up a fuss at all...

The same week a good friend of mine too his JZA-80 supra there... he is 22, smart car, they obviously thought they could try it on...

"sorry, the bolts are seized on your front subframe, we can;t undo them, we will have to cut them off, you might need a new subframe and it will cost £1700 to do this job" (thats a LOT of money!!!)

He took it to a none toyota garage and they said all bolts came off using a large breaker bar!!!

I am very worried now as I am about to order a full Poly bush kit, to replace every single stock suspension bush.. obviously this is NOT a job I can DIY as I would need some sort of hydraulic press to change the bushes... I need to find a place I can trust!!!


this is easily fixed by buying a $80 rev limiter from jaycar (its not actually $80, its alot cheaper, but i dont know the exact price.)

1. buy and install limiter kit.
2. set limiter to 3k RPM before giving to garage.
3. ???
4. Profit.

Eldar.O.

wouldnt the mechanic know how to disable/disarm it?
