Yellow CGT getting serviced

I visited the dealership recently and took these pictures. I'll be going back to take more as they take the car apart even further. The 5000 mile service is fairly comprehensive.

So this was more than two high school dropouts doing a quickie oil change with the "mystery filter" they spun on for $19.95 ?

(Well, it costs more if you want new oil added back into your car. But, you get a full oil change in 10 minutes or you get a free bag of pork rinds.)

Jason, Thank you for forwarding me the pictures. They are absolutely fantastic, and look great posted here. It was a pleasure to have you at the shop. Thank you for introducing me to William. I hope I answered all of your questions in full. If I can be of any help in the future please do not hesitate to ask.

-Jacob

I went back today after being contacted by Jacob, the server technician working on this car, informing me that more of the components had been taken apart and that he'd gone as far as he'd needed. It'd be a good time for me to take more pictures and so I took some more:

All the parts laid out


Screws, fasteners, bolts, etc all organized


Even under the skin, there's CF components


Rear suspension components under the covers


Nothing but "tailight"


Rear brakes (note the e-brake caliper on the lower right)


Rear shock


Interlock tab for center hub unit


Some of the many tubings


The black tube leads air into the rear rotor cooling it


Close up of rear caliper


Front brakes (note the ventings)


Passenger side mirror


Components all laid out


Some of the many foreign made components used


Rear bumper


Rear side fenders


Wheels and battery


Top view of battery


Instructions given
