seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 16y 3m 14d Gender: Male Posted 04/09/09 05:09 AM Share Posted 04/09/09 05:09 AM absolutely! hope they rang you before going ahead with all the work? Otherwise tell them to get stuffed, pay for what you asked to be done and leave.what the hell is "$18 Additives"? why does your gearbox need 8L of fluid? is that correct?$85 to remove intake hose and spray cleaner on the TB.... and you got owned on the brakes.
