Can you please hold 1 for me. I'll be there in about 1-2 weeks.
MFest. A lot of people at Status wanted me to go. I actually got to meet the founder a few months back. I think his name was Chris or something. But if I go then there goes my lip money

I'm thinking of getting one. Do you think this is a DIY? I'd really like to save the money from the labor i've been quoted, around 1,000 and up....

No way I'd tackle this DIY.

James mentioned (over email) it was a 6-10 hour job depending on the shop's experience.

That's what I thought. Pls let me know if you have a good shop that's reasonable on the $$$. This is something I need as I'd like to go to Pacific Raceways weekend after next for the 1/4, that is if I read the sked right.

EM, Lynnwood MB quoted me a price of $1650-$2000 for the install. They said it would take 3-4 days because the AMG Master tech is very **** about every nut and bolt. They've done some Kleemann kits before.

Just because the Master Tech likes ****, doesn't mean they can screw you in the *** too.....

How can they call him a "Master Tech" if it takes him 3-4 days to change a diff....

This is obviously a situation where you should take your car somewhere else

Imagine how long it takes him to pull a motor?

This is a $500-600 job at the most maximum

Haha. I like that first line.

I believe they want the car for 3-4 days because they wont' be working on just one car for the entire day's shift (about 8-10 hours' worth of labor). That AMG tech also has other cars to tend to, not just mine. If it really was 3-4 days' labor, the rate would be exponentially higher than $1600...I believe their shop rate is around $125/hour or so.

But, you're right...it is probably cheaper elsewhere. We just have to find out where.

You should definitely try some of the reputable transmission shops in your area. They usually work on diff's as well. It is a little labour intensive but it is not an overly complicated swap..it's worth a call and a quote....

I can vouch for James, he installed a quaife LSD on my c63 several months ago in one day. Leaving two tire tracks is so much more fun than leaving one. I just wish the police would agree.

James also installed the following on my car:
Kleeman K2
lowered it with coilovers
painted emblems and grille
CF diffuser
Wider tires


Having him travel somewhere to do such work should there be enough customers/mods may work out for everyone.

For the record, I met James's girlfriend at his shop. Hence no "master tech" jokes for him.

While James charges an honest price, I think I contributed somewhat to his future families education fund with all of my mods.

How many hours would you need a lift for three C63s?
