Any particular reason why mechanics hate working on GT4s? I definately can't do it myself..... car dummy, but still enjoy the drive.

Think boot space is great for the GT4. my friend could put his bike in. Smile



because they are so tight, when u look at one...pop the bonnet and take a look in there...i almost had to pull my turbo off to get my radiator out, its crazy tight in there, clutch and gearbox are both engine out jobs, to get to the timing belt its a matter of pulling all the cruise control and everything off...then supporting the engine from the top and taking an engine mount off, then working blind trying to get the timing belt covers off, they are rediculously difficult and time consuming to work on, alot of screwing around just to do a small job...so mechanics charge accordingly, then throw on some more for the extra displeasure the job causes them..lol, mr2s wont be much different, probably a bit harder to work on if anything.


cheers


edit----damn u tooch, finishing ur reply while i was still typing mine Razz


Very Happy That's what you get when I'm at home sick and bored!!

Haha speaking of the 'displeasure' that mechanics face with these cars, I still think of how funny it was watching 2 mechanics swearing and carrying on both trying to re-install the hydraulic belt tensioner on my car!
