I get a lot of satification in doing the job myself and knowing that it was done right the first time.

hey, i am a perfect example! i have taken my car to shops on this board and well...
i not a mechanic, i am not dyno tuner but when i put my mind towards idea or project or goal NOTHING will stop me! case in point, i was told that my car and kit was basically a pos! well it sure hasnt turned out that way. my business are extremely profitable, told that ill never make a penny!
bottom line to me, is when the project is completed by yourself, your better of, that way when it breaks and it wil,l youll be able to fix it!

It depends on what it is. I designed/designing my own mods, but certain things I will pay for. It comes down to PITA factor and equipment availability. Certain things can be done by shade tree mechanic while others can’t. It comes down to your comfort level ultimately.
