How about this situation..
You make him an awesome swap, drives well, idles well, doesn't overheat, doesn't misfire, starts every time, doesn't have a driveline shudder, has proper shift linkage, doesn't leak oil from the custom oil pan, and has working electronics with no wires running amock, and then your fabulous engine mount fails and he wrecks his jdm power car into a pole, ditch, family of 3.
How will your friendship/contract/money situation work out then?
This is a bad idea.

By asking if you are charging enough is asking everyone else to plan the swap for you?
I say charge him for a rear wheel bearing, then multiply by 40.Leave a comment:

No, I understand. What I said is that I wouldn't do it at all for pay. Maybe some, but it'd be better to encourage him to do it and let him pay you to help or something. If it screws up afterward, the liability could fall to you and that's seriously something you wouldn't want.
And if he's your friend, don't you care at all what's in his best interest?Leave a comment:

You obviously dont understand. when its not your money, not your car, and not your face people see driving it, you dont need to give a shit.Don't do it. It's a trap.
You're gonna get into it, realize it's a huge pita, then wish you could back out but you can't! Cuz his car is all over your garage and his 2k is already in your pocket.
Besides... who in their right mind puts JDM parts into a european car? It's blasphemy. You should refuse on principle alone. ;)
I dont know... he is a business owner, or part of it with his dad. never the less, a contract will be in effect. im not that dumb.
when you ever get a life to get off your ass, off the forums 24/7 and stop watching peoples court, you would turn some wrenches yourself and figure out that if you know so much and you have done it before, you can take that experience and turn it into hard fresh cash in your pocket. try that sometime, then come talk some shit. seriously, people will start getting banned for this kind of bullshit, i would watch my ass.
Shhhh. i dont want to give others MY dream plans.

but on a serious note: if he trys to stiff me out of money, it would be going to court. they got some cash, they got a business and i have one of the best layers in the area... in the end, i will win if it comes to it. as for cash, the car will not be driven or touched untill payment in full. if not, i have 72 hours to wait then i can get a new title and turn it over to myself, or part the car out and make more than what i should have been paid. obviously nobody knows the legal route in most matters in this forum. i am a profectionest, a hard worker, and i have patientes to win it in the end.
All in all, its his car, money, and reputation on the line, and possibly his business, home, and assets he has. Texas doesnt fuck around, were out for blood when we have to be. we hit hard, even when your down and almost out.
I would appriciate it if people would post RESPECTABLE and accurate responses. i dont want replies from board users and abusers who dont have any experience in this matter, as it doesnt help me nor anybody else who comes through for refrences. sorry to be a dick, but a few people, including moderators are getting tired of it.Leave a comment:

I think you'd be better off putting in a V8 from an e34 540i. Mayber you'll get lucky and find a six speed trans too.Leave a comment:
