I would definitely offer to help you do it since you're right in oakland, but I wouldn't want to risk messing anything up on your car. A compressor swap is pretty easy with basic hand tools, and since yours didn't completely explode and send shrapnel into everything it shouldn't be much more work than that, the dryer and orifice tube take 2 minutes to do.

I didn't flush my system well enough after a complete compressor failure, combined with the fact that I turned on the system with no oil in it (shop said turn it on, I thought they were just checking for leaks or something because I did mention I drained all the oil to eliminate guesswork) and soon after it started making awful noises. we added oil but it only survived 2 days after that. I'll be flushing the evaporator as well as I can and installing a whole new system from the firewall forward next week if you want to stop by and see how it all comes apart and goes back together.

I've definitely seen a red firehawk around a few times, I live right on the border of oakland/franklin lakes by the Delta station, my car is navy blue and has had a satin black ws6 hood on it for a few weeks now
