Quick question: last minute shop needed
 
Hai RS

So I need to do a cat swap/cel reset by Wednesday.

Promised a family member, and I was gonna do it myself, but something at work came up and now time is going to be super tight.

I'll be heading from Downtown Van straight into Steveston at 5 ish tomorrow, so preferably anywhere near either location or on the way? Most of the shops close at 6:30ish, so I'll be calling in the morning tomorrow to see if anyone can squish me in before closing time. If it's closer to downtown, I can probably duck out of the office and getter done during the day.

It's a straight forward swap, with the proper tools it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. The only little hiccup is that a couple bolts are a little rusted in, but nothing a little elbow grease/improv can't solve. The shop I usually go to quoted me $40-$50, but they're in Burnaby and I won't have time to go out there.

Will be calling DriveHard and GrandPerformance tomorrow, but just in case they're booked up, can anyone chime in with some shop referrals?

Thanks guys :toot:

What sort of car is it? Behind ironwoods there is "Heinz" and they do alright work. My family uses them. But there is also CG behind ironwoods And they are A++++ but can get booked. They usually do BMW but I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Give em a call

Civic. Literally 5 bolts.

Time's a priority, so I'll be calling every shop along the way to see if they can squeeze me in and getter done.

hope you bought a gasket too.. the one that sandwiches between the cat and b pipe, as those tend to crust when the are old and taken apart.

I'm trying to think back to if I put one on when I installed the test pipe.
Pretty sure I did. :pokerface:
