Here's a Video from last night i did with Mr Fin as the test drive by car, trying to get the sound sorted for the tunnel runs, kept the camera in the car as it was raining, the youtube video is crap picture quality, just did a low res as i was only interested in the sound.
the first 1-1/2 mins is with just the cameras internal mic, and the second half is with the external mic tucked behing the rear numberplate to eliminate wind noise, its clearly to close to the exhaust and lots of road noise, im going to make a "dead cat" for the mic and see how that goes, things are moving in the right direction.

This request is for a ' full set ' of Superflex bushes to be fitted which cost £360.00 + VAT. To fit them all is 2 days work [ £360.00 per day + VAT as the rears are a real ball ache to do and the rear lower trunnion bolts [ the long ones ] can take forever to get out if seized.
Then it needs tracking £60.00 + VAT
It is also requested to supply 2 x alloy lower from arms from an STi £150.00 + VAT for a pair.
I don't think those prices unreasonable and as you all know, we are not in the habit of quoting to get a job and then increasing it because.............
Some you win, some you lose.
Good luck, David

No need to get rude. We quoted as we saw fit. It is not a nice job to do and done carefully takes time and patience. We are the same price for the bushes as RCM, so no overpricing there. We charge £48.00 + VAT for an hours labour. Which comes to more than £360.00 per day on an 8 hour day.
The rolling road was paid for in CASH in 2010 no finance here.............
You can exercise your right to take your car wherever you wish.
Like I said; good luck, no hard feeling from me.
