As yalls know!
Pretty much everything I put in the teggie I put in myself.
Suspension, brakes, basic "performance" bolt on's, radiator, radiator hose, actually put in the CTR camshafts myself "which was scary! I was afraid I'd mess it up"!, intake manifold, motor mounts...
I guess you can say, a litte more than your average tune up.
In any case! I have yet! to have anything fail on me. And I've drove this thing from florida all the way to Minnesota and a couple trips from New Jersey to NC as well.
The only time it failed on me was when I knowingly put something on improperly and did not fix it, I was actually to lazy to get it up on the lift and fix it and drove on it for a while and the tire went flat! Oh wells, my fault!
The only thing I did not do myself was the timing belt! That still scares me and I'm still afraid to do it(I may need to buy another teggie to just practice doing those kinda stuff), so the timing belt, and since they was in there, I made them change the oil pump because it's going to be part of the labor anyways, and the ITR valve springs so they can also re-torque my camshafts because to be honest, yes it ran for a couple of days but I don't know if I had it in there right or not!
Anyways! But yes, I have never had that car fail on me based on the work I'd done to it.
In any case!!! I know someone who took their car to another shop, well because he doesn't really know how to work on cars and he doesn't have the tools anyways and plus he probably don't have the time to deal with it anyways...
Anyways.. he had took it to get some suspension work done and then when he drove it away, he said next thing he knew.. he was in a ditch because the brakes wasn't working.

Bro, timing belt is easy, Youtube and online forums has all the instructions. You have already switched out the cams, meaning you already halfway there.

When I put it in myself.
It drove good for about a week!
But the timing belt thing, I just marked it and slipped it on and off.
Man I was crossing my finger that it would start up!!!!!
It did!

All I heard that day was "Man! That's a type R!"
It's not a type R folks! It's a GS-R!

Dang bro, did you have that much gunk on your cams when you switched it out?
