Maybe its just me, but I dont think the pricing is to outrageous on this...


the semi-pp manifold is $525. if that is to much... I guess your only option is to make your own. Best of luck.

also not to mention the investment. if you are not going to make the pattern yourself, make the cores yourself and pour them yourself... look at about 10K for a pattern shop to start working on that for you...

I would like to see a well made bracket that places the alternator on the left when using an electric water pump and aluminum or SS brackets for putting together my OWN sleek headlight light kit using the Hellas.

How about a rebuild service for the re-mans that are being poorly done.

The fresh reman could be drop shipped to you. You could (re-rebuild) them

i would highly suggest you to start off with much cheaper items that everyday buyers would be willing to pay for. fd guys are almost as bad as fc guys go as far as how much they are willing to spend/have saved up (after all, we would all be driving vipers if we had more money )

i would think sub 200 dollar items but then again, 200 bucks is kinda pricey for the items you could actually make for 200 bucks...

the eletric water pump does sound pretty good but with the aux eletrical waterpump from VW (off the VR6 i believe) already availble, to keep temps down after shut off, its kind of a waste of time. also, idk how long eletrical waterpumps will last (alhtough i have read a few post of people putting them on and having them work just fine for a while now).

i would love to see subframes for different v8/ls1 swaps but then again, i doubt you can make it that much cheaper then hinson's kit (if you can, pm me please ) actually, you probally could but you do have to make a profit...

in the end, just remember that the people saying they are willing to buy it and the actually amount of people which will buy it are very very different. unless you can get a group buy going and get downpayments going, you might loose out in the end.



P.S. 4inch exhuast systems are very very loud. if you live in a fairly populated area, the cops will probally give you **** for it...

I want something that will either shoot oil slick or a smoke screen.

I'm not running the twins anymore, but if anyone could copy the carbon fiber airbox on the austrailian SPs, I know that would sell like hotcakes.

Hey, I know a guy who's parting out an old Aston Martin. I think he's got the stuff. But since it's old, it only shoots non-synthetic oil and the smoke isn't Cali legal.

Some of us would like to go the LS1 way, NA or Turbo. A kit of some sorts. I thought of going all out on the rotary too and buy the Monster V Mount from that other shop along witht heir monster oil cooler kit. A good quick spooling turbo kit, stuff like that.
