i havent confirmed pricing for each individual item, but for a couple that i did inquire about it was around the 8-10% below listed price.
we can sort out exact details when willing parties step forward.
i have ordred from this seller before and had no problems.
he shipped USPS which takes longer but on cheaper individually shipped items it can avoid customs. with a larger order we will likely have to pay customs.
i can vouch that his downpipe is good shiet. i’m using it since august, and it’s not giving me no problems or rusting on me. the turbo side gasket was a little too big though, but that was the only problem
the seller was very flexible as well, he sent the item as a gift marked for $10 so i didn’t have to pay any taxes.
im interested in the turbo manifold and extension. so those prices on ebay are what we’d pay pretty much? thats really cheap
i might be interested in the rocker arm stoppers and some other stuff too. just want some verification of quality.
I dont think that manifold is SSAutochrome…but I am not sure. What type is it actually?
I am looking to get the manifold and the turbo elbow if the price is right. what are the prices on items, deposit necessary or full upfront, what is the shipping going to be, when do we order, how long does it take to arrive?
Also what is the quality like on the rear camber arms and will this correct my rear camber problem? Would I need to purchase anything else to correct the camber at the back? Would anyone recommend this or should I buy something with a bit better quality?
this is not SSautochrome, but it is possible that the items are being made in the same asian factory.
unless of course the SSAC’s are made in the US.
as far as quality, i am not going to stick my neck out on and claim anything i cant support so if you have second-thoughts about the manifolds just dont get it.
as for shipping how does this sound?
pick what you want, set the money aside and send it to my paypal account of give me cash. i will make payment and have everything shipped to a single address.
we can take the total cost of shipping and customs and deteremine how much each person is entitled to (using item cost / size / weight) before they can claim their item.
if everything is shipped together we should be able to save alot of money on freight, and declare a lower value on the total shipment to reduce customs fees as well.
plus it will be much easier for the shipper as well.
let me do some quick research to determine our actual pricing
it is likely that our price will be a few bucks less than the auction start price because we are not going through ebay, so at least remove the ebay fees which is a few $$$ for listing and a few % of final price as well.
Chris, that is not the B&M but it is a mimic of the B&M, if hte construction is similar i see no reason why it shouldnt produce the same feel as the B&M. i will try it myself to be sure.
the following prices are listed in AMERICAN FUNDS and DO NOT include shipping and customs.
These are TEMPORARY and will not be available after we have completed a group buy, although we may do a second if the products that some people are leary about (short shifter, manifold) turn out to get good reviews from members. this pricing is not available individually, only as a part of a group buy.
Also, because we are going to have everything shipped to the same address and declared at a slightly lower value you will likely save upwards of half of the usual shipping and customs fees that normally accompany these type of purchases.
Further, the regular price listed is the auction start price meaning that it represents the lowest possible price for that item. if anyone else were to bid on the item the price would of course be higher.
Buy it now prices are always more than the start price

some of these items as you can see are not discountable and some equate to as much as a 25% drop from normal.
but keep in mind that there will certainly be savings here on shipping and customs.
i wish i had some of these prices available before i purchased some of these for more, in some cases much much more.
there are items that are available from this seller that are not listed
strut bars, oil catch cans, rear lower tie bar etc.
these are still available of course, but please assume regular pricing.
if you are interested in these or any other items that the seller has available for other cars then please let me know.
also, dont ask me to inquire about pricing for items you do not intend to buy because i dont feel like annoying him with question after question to no avail.
myself and others here have had positive experiences with this seller, but i do not endorse products that i have not tested myself, for example the manifolds and what not. so please dont ask myself or anyone else for their opinions on them.
