Installed my sub today. 10" Pioneer shallow sub. Not bad, and it was only $150 lol. Driven by a little 300W single channel Blaupunkt amp, it's all I need for such a small cabin.

15 minute O2 sensor change for a friend, turned into a 5hr ordeal.

It snapped flush with the exhaust manifold on my buddy's RX7 (FC). Had to remove the air pump, hoses, and 2 port solenoids, just to get to the manifold bolts. Of course the heat sheild and downpipe bolts snapped. Then, since I didn't want to fuck up the threads by drilling it out, I had to break out the hot wrench and use an easyout. Of course that didn't work so I ended up heating what was left of the sensor and collapsed it inside the hole with a punch.

Good times, good times.

I got quoted 480 for replacing my whole assembly (left+right) on a 350z that's parts and labour.... 300 to replace "a" bearing is overkill sorry to hear

Back to topic.... I've done nothing to my ride today. Cleaning interior when I get up though :P

$60+ machining, $100 for a clutch disc/ $300 incl. PP and bearing, 3+hrs labour. That's either a really good buddy that's doing you a favour, not a licensed shop, or pure labour cost.

Bolt in vs pressed in. Your wheel bearings only require 4 bolts to be removed to swap the bearing/hub assembly, where as his requires the whole knuckle to be removed and the races pressed out of the knuckle and stub shaft, then new ones pressed in and the knuckle reassembled. There's a huge discrepancy in labour. I could do yours in 1.5 hours in my driveway, his requires a press.

What he was charged is very reasonable and you shouldn't be making the guy feel bad when you don't know what's entailed in the job or you can find people to basically work for nothing.

^^ My neighbor who is a retired mechanic He's the only person I trust to work on my car besides myself, cuz...he's my neighbor lol.
I guess its not that amazing of a deal, since I'm providing the clutch disc and pressure plate for him, so ya pretty much labor. But I save on paying taxes.

Finished my own retrofit after having to return a faulty pre-done one.

Old cut off... driver's side would not go any higher (reached end of adjustment screw). Aftermarket housings. 5000K bulbs.



New cut off. Not as sharp, but that's from the headlight lens. OEM housings. 4300K bulbs.

Finally got all the damn studs out, after tearing up my knuckles really good. Put the manifold adapter on, and then realized that I need to source an oil jet that I dont think Acura makes anymore. Goodie x 2.
