Plus, i dont know what extra shipping/customs costs are involved with a canadian/us sale...probably something there too.
To the mig guy, if youre on a budget and the product is priced out of your range...dont dirty up his sales listing with cheap shots, ESPECIALLY if you have no interest in buying. I shouldnt have posted at all, seeing that I already own all these products, but the guy deserved some back up and all I was doing was separating out what some of the individual costs may look like. If you arent actually in the running to buy his stuff, why are you trying to tell him what its worth? Do you own any of the parts that he is selling? Doesnt look like it, so your input isn't needed.
My reference to the dyno costs was just reinforcing that you can't be a cheap ass + have a fast solara. $1200 wouldnt even touch the total I have spent modding my car. I did it the right way, like most of us, and to do that you can't expect to get it all for nothing.
he couldn't of said it better, i agree 100% with everything said, what you guys also dont realize is shipping is all combined so realistically buying the injectors, tb spacer, and boost gauge let's say will be 10-15shipping each, well theres 30-40 dollars saved, which is pretty much the "savings" mig listed, i also agree with what u said earlier, so many people on the board don't care anymore about the r/d and custom work and money involved.. modding these cars aren't cheap, which is why i'm broke as screw, but still have a setup NO ONE else in the world has (i'm 99% sure no1 else is running what i am lol, its not the fastest, but it's the rarest) people like hskr, queen, gabe, greg, and me are the people who make the path for everyone else, that price is DEAD on considering someone will go "will you take 2600cash for everything?" "sure", if you guys think modding a solara is expensive, take a look at a g35, is350, or ls400.. mik, i think ur price is just right for a good complete kit, it's worth it and someone that's not broke will get it.
