Not a bad thing unless you can tackle the job yourself. | | | 05-16-2007, 06:05 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Lake Oswego, OR Posts: 136 | do you think i could get a discount on the kit if i asked for DA to ship it without the rrfpr | | | 05-16-2007, 12:12 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Va Posts: 256 | I contacted DASC, and they said $3,295 without the FPR. I think retail price is $3,395, so I guess it's worth $100 off. Maybe Uncle Knobhead can hook you up afterall. I think I read that the group buy price on DASC's is the same as the discount that they give to shops. Maybe ask uncle if he can order it through his shop for you. Save ~$500. That + $100 for FPR delete is almost = your Nick G money. | | | 05-16-2007, 01:04 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 | 8-10hrs. 70$(Estimate)hr 560-700$ or you can go to Sears, buy some tools and DiY, UnderSteer provides complete assist via phone, email, smoke signals on the DASC install when you buy from them. and then you can take the 700$, buy something else for the car, put it in the Bank, Buy some steaks as a award for a job well done and maybe cash in 50 or 60 in singles and go to the titty bar. Always a good time there. | | | 05-16-2007, 01:34 PM | #10 | doesn't care about you.

Just remember, once it hits the stage it belongs to the ladies. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 05-17-2007, 05:35 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Lake Oswego, OR Posts: 136 | i don't think I'm up to it. It took me like 6h to put angel eyes on my e36. He cant discount me cause its other mechanic that does the bmw's he only works on Porsche's now that they got more mechanics. anyways its 60$ an hour(for me). Idk, or he can order it through his shop and me and a friend could try to do it over a weekend. The only person from school that i know knows anything about cars built an mk2 vr6 from scratch so Maybe he would be willing to do it with me. OR if anyone on here from WA or OR that dasc'ed his car has a place we could put it in i would be willing to pay a couple hundred. Quote: Originally Posted by DustenT +1 for this idea.

It's not rocket surgery, just basic brain science. As discussed in other threads, the DASC install is relatively simple compared to a motor swap. You don't need a garage. By the time you get the DASC, it will be June. You should be able to do it in a few sunny days in your driveway. Have your friend to help with the install if you uncle doesn't have time. Get your uncle to order it or do a group buy so you can save $500. I think krovax may want in on a group buy too. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
