Nice video but question.
How much should you budget for rear brake pipes? And how much for fuel pump belt? I assume the fuel pump belt is a body off chassis job?
Thanks

Depends on whether you're doing the brake pipes yourself or paying a garage. Its small money really for the parts but it can be time consuming depending on the condition (rust) of what needs replacing. The HPFP belt replacement does not require body removal.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Hi mate
See the turbo can also be replaced with the body on
Was amazing how many garages told me the body had to come off to change that rear belt , then watched flack change it in under an hour
Would be awesome to see there faces watching it being done by a true professional

it is quite common practice in garages to invoice the max amount of work (there are lists from car manufacturers around who are telling the amount off work is "needed", the factory way) even if there is a (much) quicker way to do it... of course they do it the quick way, invoice the expensive way...
seen it many times.... that is one of the reasons indy's are cheaper normally, they do not look into the books, or follow manufacturers rules, just calculate... but as always not every one is the sameBest regards
