Question Need some help with a price quote

Due to an extremely busy work schedule in the next 2 months or so I dont have the time to wrench on my car myself and im looking to take it to a shop to have some work done.

1300 cc injectors
Walbro Fuel pump
Efini Y-pipe
2 block off plates (for air pump)
Engine, Transmission, Differential Oil change

I could do all of the work myself but am really strapped for time.I have all of the parts and all of the fluids to do the work. I already know how much the local shop charges for tuning so im not worried about that, but was wondering how much you think a reasonable price for the work would be. Thanks.

never take your car to a non-rotary shop, this includes Mazda...

your best bet it to pay a fellow forum member or just wait and do it yourself.


Fly me to hawaii, and Ill do it for free

If that were my car, I would budget these rough hours to do it myself.

injectors - 4-6hours
fuel pump - 1 hour
Efini y-pipe - 2 hours
Air Pump blockoff - 1 hour
Oil Changes - 2 hour for all 3

An experienced mechanic might be faster.

Well I have done some of these things before and I know how much time it would take to do them, but I wont have a day off for the next 2 months and i will usually be working 12 hour days. You couple that with not having a lighted work area to do the work myself and I really dont have much of a choice. Hobbez you are right about there not really being any solid rotary shops here in Hawaii but Hypersports has built their own FD from the ground up (minus internal engine work) and I think they have the experience to do the job. So if anyone else has anything to add I would appreciate it.
