I'm a 3, I do everything I can, and the things I don't understand, I read until I figure it out. But sometimes, you just don't have the means/tools/space to do certain things (i.e. tranny swap).

I draw the line on rebuilding transmissions. There are just some things I would rather leave to the pros.

the bolt ons are easy to do with a torque wrench. but some of us don't have the necessary skills to make sure our work is complete and proper. a technician on the other hand will know when to stop.

i'd rather pay somebody $20 and 20 minutes than to spend ONE whole day changing my oil.

I agree with you. I will install my Turbo (I have some unusual ideas) but before I fire the car up, I am finding somebody to at least look over the installation and make sure it is sound.
