m sprank Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'm still looking for a job well done on some installs. I haven't heard back for a while Mike. The parts are awaiting. Let me know if you're down still for the next available slot! When I said I had no openings until the middle of November I meant it. Remeber I told you it would take a while? You said you were fine with waiting. That was just last week. Its the 1st of November. I am still booked until the middle. Sorry. Unfortunately I am not 18 years old anymore. Doing mobile repairs beats me up pretty bad. If I work 4 days in a row, I cant bend over or lift my arms for at least 2-3 days afterward. There is a reason I gave up racing pro and had to change careers leaving the mechanical trades union. Its called disability. For which I qualify for 40%. But have never taken a days worth of pay from them in my life. I quit mobile repairs almost 10 years ago because I could not physically do it anymore. This is a stop gap to getting the shop opened. I need to take some time to focus on finding the facility and signing the lease. Its time to get off the street and start working on a lift so I dont hurt so bad. Or, I wont be doing any more mechanical work for a while. I have no medical insurance. I cant afford a real injury. Thanks for all the support guys. Business has been great and I really appreciate it. I know that I can give you a even better service and faster repair times if I have a professional, set up shop to work out of. Both me and your cars will be better off and happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToRealEyes Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I understand all your points. I was just looking for a quick "yes". The content and context of our last correspondence kept everything in the air...there was no way for me to schedule likewise. On another note, do get a shop! You've got the following that a business needs to flourish. I'm all for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGAWD Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 $140 for just the install or the HID kit too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hey, take it easy man. Maybe you can get Shamarto help you turn some wrenches. ;-) Thanks, but I dont need that help. 24 hour auto parts stores you say? LOL. For $140 I will install them, mount them and wire them up. Kit prices depend on what wattage, brand/design, bulb, etc. Kits start at about $70 and go up from there. I am not a fan of 55watt HID's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htioki Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 It'd be cool if you can set up shop in western part of inland empire area. I know you live in SD, but I figured I mentioned it anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 We are looking for a location along the 15 between the 91 and the 10. In the heart of so cal racing. I have been looking for a place in the IE for a few months (to move into). I used to own a house in Temecula (before going back East again), so the IE is not new to me.

SnowBound BP5 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 What's the typical lifespan of an OE clutch on a GT? I'm at a tad over 80,000 and I can tell mine it's on its last leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 We are looking for a location along the 15 between the 91 and the 10. In the heart of so cal racing. I have been looking for a place in the IE for a few months (to move into). I used to own a house in Temecula (before going back East again), so the IE is not new to me. I know quite a lot of warehouses are empty in this part of the IE. Not sure if they are zoned for automotive however. I like your idea of opening a shop, let me know if you need someone to help out (as an investor or whatever) - I myself have been wanting to open a shop out here but I personally don't have the mechanical know how.

m sprank Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Bills, bills, bills, taxes, parts sales, CBE production, trying to get car for R&D, house purchase fell through (owners backed out at last minute). It is a 1.5-2 hour commute to where we want the shop. I thought I would be moving to the IE already. With the freeze on repos, available houses has frozen also. Cant find the right house. So, searching for a location slowed. This is way harder than I planned. Having the house purchase fall through after 4 offers and 3 months back and forth really screwed things up. You want to live with my wife? We can trade. I'll take your bachelor pad in the IE and have a shop in a week, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
