Machining costs own my setup the most. It's definately worth the money, maybe it's not OVERpriced, but it does cost alot.
Oh, maybe factory gaskets,belts,bearings is a good one. That ---- definately doesn't cost honda anything to make.

Well the most expensive thing Ill have bought by the time Im done is the I.C.And thats not that big of a deal considering it will be from custom coach.
So far I have:
1-Side mount Saab intercooler that Im selling=45 bucks
2-T3 turbo off a Saab=78 bucks
3-dsm 390cc injectors=35 bucks
4-Volvo BOV=12 bucks
5-Enough 2" aluminum piping frome volvos=24 bucks
Ive had my AFC for 4 years now and Ill be getting my manni from Stealth soon .By the time Im done Ill be right at $600 bucks(with down pipe & full 3" exhoust)
.
Not bad huh?

---- honda genuine parts. my dealership can kiss my *** for the $40 they want me to pay for a thermostat. Did you know that those nuts on the ends of the valve stem are $5 each from the dealer and the thread is weird so you can't just go get it at a hardware store.
damn rafael, you robbed me on that bov if you only paid $12, but that's cool $27 isn't too much to donate to the rafael fund. where's my tracking number?

BTW, he hasn't recieved your money order yet. He will let you know when he does and send you the tracking number. Well, he might have by now. I'm not sure.

the rebuild kit for my IHI TE04H was like $260, that was a little more than i'd expected..
and the stupid gauge bezel thing that i got, had to get genuine autometer so it ended up being about $100, i've seen them for as low as $25 now.
