Most diff and suspension places in Adelaide won't go near a Soarer with a barge pole; BAD

Found someone today that said that they would do my suspension (bushes, struts and springs, I'm supplying it all, just need labour) And they quoted close to $1200 and 2 days; UGLY

MV Automatics stage 1 shift kit $375 supply only, or $440 supplied, fitted and a full tranny service including flush; GOOD

Actually, make that last one totally awesome!!! Can't believe that they said that to me today. Why on earth would you even consider doing it yourself when for an extra $65 you get it done for you, and more?!?

Ben, did you check Manta Racing? Go search for the other post which had contact details.

We find good places, post them up here and people ignore it. Go figure.

They are my next port of call. I just thought that I'd check this mob out as they were nearish to MV's, so I just stopped in when driving past. Have one more avenue to try, have a mate who's brother just bought a hoist, (as in a proper one) and stuck it in his dad's shed as this shed has very high ceilings and an other mate who has a connection with a truck press. Failing that, Manta it is!

I'd do it myself cuz it cost me like 200 in fuel to get there and back....

It took fark all time to do. Oil i paid like 27.65 for.

Daniel not sure what the TT is like to do (i do have a mate who just done his in a cressida he said easy)

Allow about 2hrs (this inc. fitting the cooler which took longer to think where to put it)

Ok Mark thanks. I dont mind paying $200-$250 as long as its all good when i pick it up.

I could fit it myself but time is limited nowadays and sometimes ya gotta sacrifice the Green ones for the job to be done right!

Always been hard to convince my dad of this, but hey. He's old school,hehe. And has an R31 Passage GT skyline with R32 running gear with some mods AND HE CANT CATCH ME!!!!!!!! Bout time i was in front of him after all these years. Soarer for the Win.
