Also, I already have a timing kit from ECS, but they won't use it since they warranty their work for 2 years/24,000 miles. I may need to sell the kit if I take my car to some place that can't use it. Anyone want the kit, let me know.

And I know it would be infinitely cheaper to do it myself, but I don't have the know-how or time, and I wouldn't really trust myself to do it right. I can do a lot of other stuff, but timing? No thanks. :-/

Might wanna hit up WhtDvl (Joe) on here.

He's local & he did it himself. So he knows how to do it and might be able to give you a hand :thumbsup:

I've contacted three shops in the area now (Steve's European in Waterford, Advanced Auto Sports in Farmington Hills, and D&J Auto in Farmington Hills). Advanced wants $623 + tax + shop supplies to use my kit. They want another $400 in parts for them to warranty the work, so they would be more than Steve's after tax/shop supplies.

D&J Auto will do it for $360 labor, using my parts. Not sure on warranty. I'm heading over to the shop to check it out since my coworker (BMW fanatic) has to pick up a part of his over there. D&J may be the choice.

And snobrdrdan, thanks for the tip, but I don't have a garage to work in yet. That's coming this spring/summer.

Last year or so Brandon and I did his GTI timing belt. It wasn't to bad. We learned a lesson or two from it.

Anybody here know of any shops in the area that have Snell Automotive rated helmets for sale? There is a free racing event Friday, May 10 (that I found out about yesterday) at Waterford Hills Raceway put on by Platinum Motor Cars in Troy that I have RSVP'ed to. I can make do with a Snell Motorcycle rated helmet, but I'm looking for SA2005/2010. I am sure someone on this thread has AutoX'ed before.

HELP!!!
