I just cannot believe that I have 85K on the original clutch that came with the car. Perhaps that is because in spite of all the posturing that I ever did when I bought the car, it turned into my daily instead of a mad-hi power-track-strip car.
I guess having 4 kids will do that to you  |
Tom, in order to compare our parts prices, we would need to know which kit are you referring to. Installation would take 3.5 hours, totaling $280.
Also, as Cody said, keep in mind that with customer supplied parts, we cannot offer a full warranty. In this case, we will warranty the installation but not the parts.
In order to get the best bang for your buck, a timing belt and water pump kit is your best bet. With your parts, you would pay $245 out the door. If we supplied parts (Gates timing belt and water pump kit, OE water pump gasket, coolant, OE thermostat and gasket) , the total would be $610.
We use the Gates timing belt and water pump kits, and do not recommend the "blue" belt, because it has a tendency to be too stiff, which will decrease horsepower. A full warranty will include parts and installation when we provide and install all the parts listed above. Note: we prefer the OE thermostat and gaskets, because they tend to have a much lower failure rate than the aftermarket ones.
Give us a call to schedule an appointment!
