Message	took my time and I have fixed everything from a leaking PS hose to putting on downpipes, to putting on new brakes, pads and rotors, clutch and flywheel, etc. The key is to take your time, understand what you are doing and take your time some more. Label everything also. I began working on my Z because I couldn't find one competant mechanic in my area and I would rather do it myself than have one of those oil change monkeys fuck it all up. I was charged $900.00 for some of the shittiest work ever and that was all I could take. I've done it all myself for the last 6 years.
