Wow. A buck sixty-five for a pulley?
Might be time to pull the trigger...

Guys: Hope to help you at AMVIV. (T-shirt installation for free is optional ;-)

And yes that price is correct! We feel that the labor charge should match the time actually taken to do it. $200+ for an hours work seems excessive.

Thanks again guys!

Will there be any wetting of the t-shirts for the female customers?

You'd better watch were you go in Vegas...


Something tells me you'll wish this was posted in Vendor announcements so it was safe from the peanut gallery...

Hey folks! You guys have replied overwhelmingly to our Saturday slots. The day is mostly filled with pulleys but we have some extra time for walk ups, intakes etc. So feel free to call me ahead of time or stop on by the trailer!

We have decided to open up installations for Friday afternoon and early evening. Our staff will be split between the track and the Palace Station on Friday. Call me or e-mail me for appointments!

Thanks again everyone. This is going to be a great event!

I'm considering a rear swaybay but will have to get WAF (wife acceptance factor) when I get there.

If I do, can it be done on Friday?

What would a 2.5" exhaust for an '05 MCS cabrio run?

Yay! I got WAF for a rear swaybar. On Friday morning, we plan to visit the SHelby museum. How does Friday Early afternoon look? Maybe just after lunch or something? This may be my last time on getting on a computer before I leave for the drive to Las Vegas so I would like to tentatively book a timeslot in there somewhere.


I haven't decided if I should go the 19 or 22mm route. I'll let you advise me on that when I get there. Also, WAF is dependent on keeping it under a budgetted amount so if you can let me know the installed price ASAP, I would appreciate it.


See you in Vegas.

Thanks.

I already got an ALTA CAI and pulley last year.... do I still qualify for for a free t-shirt and installation? (Dry, please!)

Looking forward to meeting you all there!

Showgirl, last AMVIV you were visiting the MINI factory in England! How did you get Alta bits on your car?

Adam...you going to be bringing any of those cool die-cast Alta MINIs? I have one but need more.

beken: Thanks for getting the WAF cleared. Installed price is $169 on the bar with the free labor and the 15% discount. I highly recommend the 22mm! Call me to setup an appointment. Saturday is mostly booked, but we are taking work in reservations, etc. for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Thanks again!

HBPERRIN: Call me! (Love the screen name check us out at www.perrinperformance.com)

Showgirl: Look forward to seeing you there. We will keep the the squirt guns and water balloons back here at the shop!

Agro: Those are long gone! Plus the toy mfr. lost their license with BMW so I can't get more. Collectors items now! See you there!

Thanks again NAM!

A big thanks to Jeff for tolerating my incessant questions and leering eye while he installed my pulley! And to Alta for giving me the incentive to finally get a pulley! Definitely adds to the Wheee! factor.

The only disappointment was missing out on the T-shirt installs.

Eric: I am positive you were not a problem at all. Jeff just walked sleepily through the office and will report fully tomorrow when he returns. Thank you for your business! Glad you are enjoying your new Whee!

Thanks for the rear swaybar install. Even on the softest setting, I noted that I was cornering a lot faster than before. Scares the .... out of the driver in front of me when they see me pull up so fast in the corners. I can see their eyes open wide when they look in their rearview mirrors

I had a good chuckle over the counterfeit MINI decal on your tiny truck, too. If you want a slight bigger more detail picture, pm me. I can send it to you gratis.
