Should I do my own vacuum lines?

Hey guys, I'm just doing a poll to get some opinions. I've had my RX-7 for a year now, and I've done some of the mods and repairs myself. I have a huge color vacuum hose diagram, and all the tools needed. I also have other means of transportation. So my question is do you guys/girls think I should do the hoses myself, or take it to a rotary specialist. Thanks.

Do it yourself. Its really not that hard, just time consuming. If you got the transportation and the time do it. It really help you learn more about your car.

If you have to ask, take it to a specialist..

The questions is do YOU think you can do it? We don't know your skill or patience level.

You can do it. I didn't know a damn thing about the FD engine. Worked with a friend of mine that was a bit of a wrench head who also had never worked on a rotary. We did it in a couple of days. The car had to sit because it does take a while and I broke a few of those damn solenoids, but other than that it is very rewarding and allows you to get to know your vehicle a bit better.

Do it yourself

BUT

Make sure you think you understand what EVERY one of those systems does... this makes it very much easier to troubleshoot later if you ever have an issue
