    Not sure either. It does have a GT4 sticker. Perhaps it is in that class?

Since Christmas week is the only week traffic is relatively light to Performance Technic, I went with Brandon's (Service Advisor at P-Tech) suggestion to go with the WPC coated rod bearings. Performance Technic has done a few of WPC so in reality, it doesn't really matter. I bet in another 50k, I'll have to do it again. Hopefully, when that time comes around, there will be a permanent fix.
    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?

    The larger wheels do have a little better turn-in and road feel, not to mention more clearance for BBK's and such. I don't know anything about classing and what GT-4 means, but I'm guessing he may have a BBK on there. It's hard to tell from the picture...

    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.

    ##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.
