vodka owns me, no, no new radiator.
I will say this, that car has never felt this smooth for me, probably because I got it 5 years old with 34K miles on it. You literally have to look at the rpm gauge to know the car is on, it's idling so effing smoothly.

get brakes for GTR from Brakemotive....500 for pads and rotors LOL
I dont think they should be too too bad...a good set rotors + pads for our cars is about 450-500 bucks...for the GTR should be about 1500 bucks...
I would like to know how much the Carbon Ceramic rotors will cost for the Porsches and Fewwawi's....that would be a good 7000-8000 for a brake job (if you do it yourself)...dealership will quote you like 15K...
PS: the numbers are a total fuqqing guesswork...

Even with my mistakes, I probably spent $350 on all the parts including sparks plugs and radiator hoses and intake hose...I bet I saved a lot more than $500! At least at the dealer.

mine quoted me a whooooping 1800 bucks...labor was only 450....I bought all the parts, did the plugs and air and cabin filter myself....bought the OEM timing belt/serpentine belt/pulleys/tensioner/water pump/coolant for about 300-ish and paid the dealer 400 in labor to do the install...
I certainly didnt think I would do it myself....even now if I had to do it again, i will highly consider giving it to the dealer for that 400 bucks....BUTTT if the dealer wanted 1000 in labor, I would give Maj 200 bucks for his phone number and do it myself LOL....

Imagine how much money Acura lost because of Majofo's DIY. They lost revenue and fired their designers and now they're coming up with these weird looking cars. Majofo, killing Acura one DIY at a time.

^^^ fuq yeah.,...the biggest KILLER of all is the power steering pump o-ring install....
my dealer was like "your pump is shot, you will need to replace it....dont worry, I got you, it will be 800 bucks"....I was like
after researching, I went back and told them they forgot to install an o-ring during the recall....I asked them to replace both o-rings and just like that, dealer lost 800 bucks....

I'm shocked that labor is only $400 on an $1800 quote...my guess is they can massage their markup on invoice pricing on parts to make the customer think they are getting a deal or not. In your case, you bought your own parts called their bluff since you probably had their quote so they couldn't back pedal.

In your case, you bought your own parts called their bluff since you probably had their quote so they couldn't back pedal.
the guy at the dealer even gave me a little service booklet of what service's are needed mileage wise....so the 30K service or the 60K service....
I made a little maintenance spreadsheet according to that and do all my maintenance that way....in that service booklet, they had a list of items to do at 105K mile...I went in to the dealership (at 133K miles) to get a quote for the 105K service and I asked for a breakdown....
I noticed, that labor was 450 but everything else was bloated...like spark plugs they wanted like 20 bucks a plug....air filter, they wanted 45 bucks....I asked him if I could bring all the parts in and they could do the labor for 400 bucks....he agreed and we shook on it
thats why I was asking you to ask the dealership you usually go to for a quote...but am gald you didnt and did it yourself....the satisfaction, i bet, it a lot more

I'll give you this, Anil...you Indian fellas sure know how to negotiate and bargain! Everything is negotiable! Americans are made to think that whatever the price is is what the price is!
Good work!
Good work!

Actually, a local white guy (must have some brown gene in him) negotiates like no other....he will even negotiate at Best Buy
Must. Learn. Said. Skill.

So who sucked whose penis this weekend? Dirty details, go!
04-28-2014, 10:56 AM
I sucked yours. In 2 different threads.
1, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be although for an asian, you're pretty hairy.
2, did you eat pineapple and shell fish yesterday? Keep burping it up.

I bet you're right. But, I wouldn't know because each time I tried, the IS350 would bishslap me.
And it's so fast, you can't even see it. You can only hear it. So, even if you were a and tried to sneak in a suck...it would've been gone to another zip-code by the time you thought your lips were touching the pipe.
