Re: How Long Does it take.
Well, I'd say $300 is proabably cheap for a shop to install a kit and fab up the piping and weld it so thats not to bad of a deal...if he is doing on his spare time which it sounds like i will take a while, it does seem a little long though I install my kit with basic tools and Whitey came over and welded up my IC piping and DP in a few hours so you should be able to do it yourself if you can weld...but from my experience accords suck and ARE hard to work on than civics and integras, I don't know about installing a turbo though same priciples

when was the last time you seen your car? i would go get it and finish it myself if i were you. 3 weeks is a long time even if you are a very busy person and only doing it in your spare time

It should of taken them 5 hours at the most, especially since they had everything already done for them and pre made, ----, at the HMT meet we did 2 cars in 2 days and we had nothing, everyting had to be pretty much fab'd up/custom made and we pulled it off with great success.
3 weeks is insane.

Lets hope they just got lazy and didnt mess anything up, this way you can just get your car towed home and finish up your install, and if youre not sure of anything then ask on here, sure you might get flamed for the first 5 posts but there is always that 6th post that will provide you with the answer you are looking for, oh and dont pay them a penny since they obviously dont know what they are doing.

No this was a friend of mine, he was doing it in his garage, he was helping me out cause i dont know how to weld, he has been telling me for the past 2 weeks he had like 2 or 3 more welds then he was done, so i guess the welder broke and he had to fix it, but i know as of like 2 days ago it was fixed, oh well, i can wait.

Re: How Long Does it take.
Dont be a ----- and put your foot down, 2 or 3 more welds? is there like a certain welding season in your area or something? I dont get it, as far as I know youre being ripped, its not like he's welding a super structure, its a piece of pipe. I'm sorry but it dosnt take 3 weeks to do 3 welds 
Like I said, screw waiting, I think you've waited long enough, go get your car back and make sure its ok, for all you know he could of got curious and took it for a boot and blew the engine and now he just dosnt want to tell you.

Re: How Long Does it take.
Sounds like your friend is just making excuses.
He's probably out ripping on your car as we speak! lol
I would get that ---- back ASAP if I were you, then go tell your friend to go ---- himself. If he was truely your friend he wouldn't pull this kind of bullshit. When my friends need help with something I help them out, I don't sit there for three weeks playing with myself.

Re: How Long Does it take.
Nah everything is cool, i takled to dude, and he ran across all kinds of problems, and feels bad its taking so long, so its pretty much done, just some vacume lines need to get put in, then its all set, cant wait to see how it turns out.
