Default How hard is it to find a damn exhaust housing!!! (RANT)

This is my rant over the last 2 days, if you dont like it dont read it.

So you would figure that everybody and their mom would have a standard .48 trim T3 lying around right? WRONG!!! I've made posts on every forum possible, Local forums, Honda tech, Toronto civics maybe 6 or 7 forums all together, not one reply.

This is starting to **** me off, does this ever happen to you, whenever you need a part ASAP nobody has one, or nobody cares, maybe people just dont check the WTB threads.

I even called a local turbo shop, and they dont have anything either.

I did find one on ebay, he wants $50 for it, Kinda high for a piece of cast iron.

It's amusing to me, because the day before I saw your post I made the exact same one and had a response and the part bought in under 30 mins, granted it's got a crack and broken stud.

But yeah, that's life man, as soon as you need something ASAP, you'll never find it.

Right, it's not a for sale post.
It's a wanted post.

$50 is cheap if it's new. I paid $80 for one 2½ years ago.

I needed one and ended up just buying a complete turbo to get it. I guess I'll have a spare center section wqhen I need it.
