All interior mods, short shifter, oil changes, differential and transmission fluid changes, fabspeed exhaust, diverter valves.

Oh... and I almost forgot the important stuff; I pump my own gas, wax my own car and I can even add air to my own tires

I do everything myself except for painting of body panels and suspension alignment. As an example:
  • Turbo install
  • ECU Install
  • Exhaust install
  • Bodywork install
  • Suspension install
  • Replacement brakes (calipers, rotors & lines) install
  • Audio/Video sytem install
  • Rollbar, seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher install
  • Short shifters

The list goes on.

Used to do a lot more. Rebuilt my 930 motor, changed turbos, exhaust, etc on my 993, replaced clutches, converted 911 to 930 with spare motor (bigger project than I thought it would be given the difference in electric and fuel systems). Don't do too much any longer because of time and other interest constraints.

Everything except paint, tint and clear film install

Mechanically I am equipped for it all, Oh and I own a service station so I also pump my own fuel

Everything that is not covered under warranty. Don't do tire mounting. I draw the line when a dealer charges $350 for 15K check up and $200 for an oil change. I can do it for $50 and change.

Everything short of alignments, mounting tires (the stuff that requires specialized equipment).
