did the aos today. It took about an hour or so. That bottom clamp was a mother f____.

All i need to do is get my wheels back and do a coolant flush.

Just did my coolant and brake flush. Indy labor rate was $85 and they billed me for 3 hours. Porsche coolant and brake fluid brought the total to $400.
Need to do the clutch ASAP...man when it goes it goes fast.

just looked a the bill. Porsche coolant x's 3 at $30 and $25 and change for the brake fluid which they said they had to order since they don't usually stock for the older Porsche's the service.. the blue stuff. The rest was tax. I usually order parts from AutohauzAZ they charge $33 for the factory coolant and $15 for the ATE blue.
The dealer wanted $350 for the coolant flush and I'm guessing $150 for simple brake flush. yikes....oh and get ready for this...$3,800 for the clutch job and no that doesn't include the IMS upgrade.

the one shop that is 45 minutes from me said it would be about $800 to do the job. plus the cost of the clutch kit/rms and ims parts.

That's pretty darn good. I think I was quoted 11 hours for the clutch, rms and another 4 hours for the IMS...so like $1200-1300.
