Question for Jake re Aussie installer

[Jake Raby]

I'd need to do at least 4 retrofits.. I'd rather do a total of 6 to make it worth my time away from the shop and to recover from the 26 hours in the air!

Want a deposit now?
I am sure we could get 6 people together for IMS retrofits.
What is the going price for them in AUD$.

[Jake Raby]

What the charges will be would be dictated by the shop that we'd be doing the work in.. I'd rather have a chassis dyno available for before/ after comparisons..

Costs would be around 3K US for my full service, including tensioner cleaning/ replacement and internal inspections.

Get 6 cars together and I'll start looking for a place to work. I can bring all the parts and tools with me. Once the 6 cars have been rounded up we'll get deposits, probably just enough to cover my air fare, the rest we can do while I am there.

I should have one of my engine assembly classes while I am there, I have several Aussies interested in attending them here, there would be better.. But I would need an M96 engine out of a car for this.

[Pinarelloman]

Jake, you are obviously very busy with your work over in the USA. Do you have any preferred time frame for coming over here? Eg Christmas etc or is there another time when business is quiet.

It sounds like Steve is a starter for the IMS upgrade & I am also.
Can your mate who works on air cooled Porsche's get another four starters? I would also be interested in assisting with the work on my vehicle if possible.

PS Don't drink the beer in Queensland it is spelt XXXX & tastes like cats P
Though we lost the State of Origin to them (again)

[Jake Raby]

January would probably be best.. I have scheduled M96 engine assembly classes in November, December and February..

I'd think we can find 4 more pretty easily in the next few months..

[Pinarelloman]

OK January is fine for me. Hopefully Steve will read this soon....

[Steve Tinker]

OK guys, sorry for the delay. I have just spoken to the Finance Minister (I'm married to) & got the OK for the upgrade by Jake.
Anytime would be fine for me - I can work around the dates but need to know which major city the revamp is going to take place......
Jake / Pinerelloman, I don't know if we have to use this forum for the (finer) details of the potential upgrades, but the ball is in your courts. You can contact me via a PM anytime you have a few minutes to spare.
