Fridley,
Minnesota
to make a long story short,
i was friends with some people who owned a hi performance shop, i went there alot and even helped with some work, i bought a 92 talon and it spun a bearing so it went in for work.
work was supposed to cost just over 6,000 all said and done. after 6 grand and 2 years i still dont have my car, ive been talking to a lawyer and trying to make arangments but to no avail and im trying to find prices for items that i think are way way overpriced
these are some of the things i need to find, if anyone can find them im looking for both MSRP prices and what they should cost from a respectable shop
the prices with the following are CLAIMED prices from this shop.
2.3 stroker rotating assembly - $1600
msd dis II - $600
act stage II xxtreme clutch kit - $800
n1 gt achaust system - $1200
hyoshi timing belt - $370
timing belt tensioner - $180
rebuild gasket kit - $270
balance shaft eliminator kit - $100
as for the labor goes like this
removing the engine and tear down - $800
block machining - $1000
assembly - $1000
head work (for 1 mm oversized valves) - $800
grand total of about $9,000
when i had 6,000 into it, i was always told it will be done in 2 weeks, repeatadly. now that i got in contact with the lawyer the cost magicaly jumper 3 grand,
any help is greatly appreciated
