straight up to get it done properly will cost more than this.
good plugs are about 27.00 each and you need 6
2-3 hours labour to replace them.
wheel align can be arranged by UAS next door from memory its about 50-60.00 for laser alignment and a report on the results
horn: have you checked to see if its just the horn????

Hey
This is the guy who did my service.
0423359067 - Paul.
I hope you are in Sydney because i didn't look.
Anyway, i posted a long detailed message a long time ago, (maybe six months) outlining what he did and the costs.
In summary, he is definately the best and cheapest option, he knows what he's doing, he races cars and constantly dealing with high performance cars, so the FTO isn't much for him, lets put it that way.
Tell him, Ben Cohn, Black FTO sent you.
Good luck

exactly! took me less than an hour to get the inlet manifold off and back on! Also i got iridums for 13 bucks each!
1.5 is about right for all plugs to be changed!
