The DP has to come back out to get to all the uppipe bolts/nuts at the bottom of the turbo.

Otherwise you can come my place and we would just have to wait for it to cool down a bit before we start.

Who: A Dude
What: Blue Blobeye WRX (STI?)
Where: You were heading east on White Rock stuck behind a crane truck that was trying to turn into a parking lot. I was heading west on White Rock and I honked and waved, but I think you were paying attention to the crane.

They are actually my sponsor. D2 Motorsports, they did my port, polish, and valve job. So far they are the only ones that I trust with working on my car. I don't think that is their standard rate but if you want them to do your uppipe I can talk with them and see if they will do it for the same price.

Who: Mr. Cool with sunglasses
What: White debadged WRX w/ P1's, tint, and a loud exhaust
Where: Sitting in business park driveway on Douglas in Roseville just before Sierra College Blvd., waiting to make a right. Completely ignored my wave as I drove by. He finally got onto Douglas and then turned right at Sierra College. Drives like a grandma.
BTW, I was in the Blue Ford Explorer Sporttrac completely covered in mud.

However $70 is a cant-pass-up kind of price you know? If they cant do it, I totally understand. It is a 1.5 to 2 hour job and charging $70 is basically a half price bargain.
Either way, let me know, and thanks!
