Imagine 22K for four PCCB rotors, now that is an Ouch

 

wow :P
I guess its at that point you would switch back to steel ones...?

 

Yeah I was really disappointed when I found out it was going to be more than just my clutch. And then things just kept adding up.

I fell victim to the cost of the car vs. the cost to maintain on this one for sure. No one thinks that a $35,000 used car could have $5,000 worth of routine maintenance to do. Thankfully I have had the car for 3 years now (bought it for $45k) and knew when something went wrong it would be a big deal...just didn't think it would be THIS big of a deal.

I am, for sure, one of those owners who really shouldn't have a car this expensive to own and operate. But when I bought the car I justified it as "if I don't do it now, will I be able to later in life when money has more importance". I get into the car now and hate how much it just cost me. But after mere minutes behind the wheel the car is such a pleasure to drive I find it hard to imagine driving anything else I would enjoy as much but would be cheaper to own...

 

I hear you...exactly the same position.

At least you know that these bits should be good for awhile now. Did you get them to take a look at the IMS?

 

IMS appears to be fine. But there is no real way to be sure unless you just replace it. And at an addition $1200 to do so I couldn't justify the cost right now.

 

PCCB is an $8,500 option. Do you really think it would cost almost 3 times as much to do a replacement job?

 

Yep. That's for rotors, not pads. The are some aftermarket versions now, that should help the costs. But still I almost choked when I read what the replacement $$$$ were.

Some people change them out, I love them. Pedal is amazing and ill only track a couple times. So, no worries..

 

Ouch is right. But that sting will wear off the more time you put in behind the wheel. Did Bill at Eurotech quote you and if yes was there a difference? I ask because I had asked EPE to change the spoiler setting on the inboard computer (.5 hours at most) and they wanted 2x what a dealership charged.


Anyway, a good tequila will help the pain 😉

 

If you aren't a PCA member, I would recommend it, they talk have a good connection to good indy shops around and there are a lot of car events in the area. (just a thought)

 

This, EPE are usually incredibly expensive, jerry is a nice guy and they do good work but I won't be going back, bill at Eurotech is just as nice and does excellent work for less money
