Nope, never launched it, was waiting for my tune and timing belt before I started pushing it.

Yeah neither was I... I dropped my bigmac from shock of it happening lol.
Oh, if the timing belt has been done i'll just get TM to give it a once over to see if it's damaged otherwise that's grand and a bit saved for a ute :D

Can't rate TM's mechanicals highly enough, very thorough from my experience.

TME Steve is still the gtg for tuning however.

What would be the best place in Perth to get an HDI GT2 intercooler installed?

Allstars garage have experience working on and tuning vr4's and many other Jap cars so I'd say they could do it.. Not sure about manual overhaul though..

Tokyo Motorsport did mine as you know...

Yeah, just checking if there were any other options.

When they did yours did they get you to sign a waiver based on the work done because of cutting etc?

Out of the places listed, what would be the best one to get the 100,000km service done? I have a quote from Tokyo Motorsport but I was just wondering if people have taken their Galants/Legnums to other places,

If I was to go anywhere else it would probably be to ASG (Allstar Garage)

Because they'll follow the HDi provided instructions illustrating the crash bar requires modification, sure other people have fitted it without though.

They said that because apparently they wouldn't know what was involved until I had brought the intercooler in with the vehicle and they had seen it...
B/S they did mine without any talk of a waiver, I provided them the HDi instructions and a link to the how-to guide on these forums however...

Did the instructions come with the GT2 you had? What links to guides did you provide?
