So I got my car back last night, and am pretty pleased with it......still breaking it in althogh since getting it last night ive already almost put 900km on it, so I think after the weekend I'll get an oil change since I'm gonna be doing some more highway dirving the weekend....

While the engine and tranny was out I also got the clutch done too, and my car feels brand new

Hahahaha I'm actually really impressed with the mechanic, I showed up yesterday at 7pm to get it, and he wasnt done apparently there was an issue and they had to deal with another car so mine wasnt finished, he had a lot of work left to do, but I told him to take his time and he let me sit in the garage and watch and help out a bit too form time to time if i wanted, which I did, cause hte more I can learn the better , and we finished at about 2 am, he coulda def done it quicker but I told him to take his time and do it right and perfect the first time. Plus, he was explaining things to me as we went along...

So after it was all said and done, for the clutch and the entire engine replacement and labour (also had the timing belt and water pump swapped for new ones while it was out), I ended up paying about a grand and the dealer ended up paying about 2 grand lol

I guess only a few weeks will tell me how good the job and engine are exactly....Is there ANYTHING I should particularly be on the look out for?
