yeah, that is a good way to look at it. also, i am curious to see how the OE rod bearings look when removed - i assume you've asked for an inspection report?
what are they charging you to do this, if you don't mind me asking?
whoa! there it is! very cool. did you check it out in more detail?

Labor was quoted ~$2000. The rod bearings + arp rod bolts were around $1000. The engine mounts and all other misc items like oil pan gasket, oil, powersteering fluid add to the cost too. I think all in all its between $3300-$3500. It's not cheap but its mainly due to the labor cost being high in my area. I'm sure I could've gotten it done cheaper in Southern California, but I trust Performance Technic guys. It makes it alot easier to get any issues fixed since they are so much closer.
I may have gawked at the 1M clone 1.0 more often than I should've as it is the track monster I would never make for myself. I even been passed so hard by clone 1.0
It definitely has brembo BBK front and back but I'm not sure class it looks to be racing at. Perhaps when I pick up the car, I'll ask.
Me too, me too.
Saw this pic. Pretty sure it's on your car

##Performance Technic Pro Photos
Courtney took amazing photos of the progress.
##Old Bearings
The bearings do look worn out but not as bad as some others I've seen online.
##Back to hibernation
I cleaned the car when I got to my parent's garage and the car is now back into hibernation. A 600-mile break-in and it will return to Performance Technic for an oil analysis. With this done, there are a few more maintenance items on the list but nothing major like this.
