-=DV=- Regular Location: Newcastle, NSW Registered: May 2004	Re: MR2 GT Vs GT4 (1990) Wed, 21 September 2005 12:56 man i almost dont want to ward sum1 away from buying a gtfour...but you mentioned ur not to up to speed with the mechanical side of things...this would have to change if u got a gtfour because they really are too costly to be worth having if u dont do ur own work...well in my opinion anyway...i havnt had to do much..but what i have done has taken a long time for small stuff...id hate to be paying $60+ an hour to a mechanic whos got no more experience with the particular car than i do to fumble around and come across the same ammount of time consuming niggles that i do...as mentioned most gtfour owners are enthusiasts...and love working on theyre own car...heres a perfect example...the bearing in my altinator belt tensioner started screaming at me and being noisy...i didnt have the tools i needed to change it as i had every thing packed to move interstate...so i thaught id just take it to a mechanic to have it done koz its only a 10-20 min job right...it couldnt cost that much right...WRONG!...the mechanic had a look..and he quoted me $280 in labour :o:o:o holey fuck!!...i told him where to shove it...asked my mate if i could use his tools...it took me 10 minutes to pull the tensioner wheel off...another minute or 2 to knock the bearing out...went and got one for FOUR DOLLARS...went back to my mates place...and took me a further 15 minutes to stick everything back in and have the belt all tensioned up and running again...just an example of how a $5 part and a simple job can have u applying for a second mortgage to sort out if ur not willing to try to learn how to work on ur car urself.....im just saying if u buy a gtfour...be prepared to get ur hands a little dirty....besides theres nothing like learning how ur car actually works [Updated on: Wed, 21 September 2005 13:00] [Report message to a moderator]
