Dozer's Driveway

well guys here it is! since a lot of you guys show interest in workin on our cars and not having a place do it, this is the thread where you guys can request a date to work on your car here at my house! keep in mind, im no master tech nor are the 3 other guys that are here most of the time (renesisSE3P,J8000 & Atilla), although they have more knowledge than i do. For a small fee of food & beer we can give a helping hand to those that are in need of some help or knowledge.

here are some guidelines...
1. you always SHOW respect, even more so to the owner of the house (my mom)
2. you keep things as clean as possible
3. although most of you know about the twisties out back, you do not push it hard! (no peeling out, or excessive speeding)
4. come prepared, although i have tools here, it doesnt hurt to bring your own.
5. if anything goes wrong, we are NOT to blame, it was YOUR choice to bring the car to over to my place to have it worked on.
6. this is not a shop, we dont have diagnosing tools nor do we do rebuilds of any sort.
7. you dont not leave your car here overnight.
8. have fun and enjoy the company of other rotorheads.
