as is with all things eBay - know your risk and know your threshold for pain ;)

ah well the evo i/c is still bigger and I can do a killer over-the-rad setup with it.

my buddy got that intercooler piping/fmic from that dude... for 79 ship
and im looking at a few myself

I'm the friend. piping is 2" hotside (long pipe) not 2.5 like stated in auction. It's also mild steel not aluminum. Other than that I can't complain for $76 bucks. intercooler is 3" thick and has 2.5" in/out, unlike other similar priced intercoolers, so that alone is worth the price. The piping, silicon couplers and 3" ss turbo inlet elbow just make it a sweeter deal

Just an FYI for anyone else who manages to get one of these. He sent me an invoice the same day trying to quote $126 for standard international shipping instead of the 79 he posted in the listing. Pay attention before you pay!

I sent him payment through paypal to the email address listed and I'll give him three weeks before I file a dispute or something though.

Anyone seen one of these lately? Can't seem to pull it up on an ebay search.

DragonsMaw 04-24-2009 06:02 AM

Looking back at my won auction says that "This user is no longer registered" though no reason is given. Not sure what happened but when I received it the sender was ssautochrome. The user was someone else though I can't recall the exact name anymore.

DragonsMaw 05-18-2009 03:30 AM

Heh, they took the paypal account address off their page this time around. I'd buy one for resale if I could. Good to know they come back every once in a while.

All I did was set my max bid to $10 on one that was closing at some obscenely early hour of a saturday morning. Won it for 5.01.

Shipping killed me though, meh.

miataspeed2005 05-19-2009 08:17 AM

how good can this kit be for the price? How is he even making money selling them for $5? Any take the intake temps with this ic and see if they work?

m2cupcar 05-19-2009 08:45 AM

He's making his "desired" profit in the shipping cost. That's his guarantee that he gets what he wants from the sale. Speaking hypothetically, he could have $20 in the intercooler, $10 in the pipes and he's shipping them for $10 his cost. So $10 shipping profit plus all of the bid money. I'm assuming if it was totally useless you'd read about it in this thread from a buyer.

nickt93 05-20-2009 04:42 PM

Sweet - I won. All for the grand total of $5.50. Even with shipping, $55.50 is a steal for an intercooler and three pipes.

Are you boosting the NB?

That's the plan. I've got a turbo/manifold/downpipe from a Mazdaspeed, a Link piggy, a Turbo XS MBC, and now an intercooler on the way. I'll need to fab up an intake, fit/route the IC pipes, and run oil/water lines. Ahhhh, but first I need to get the car running!

b1m2x3 06-07-2009 10:13 PM

you guys ever receive these?
Worth it?

nickt93 06-08-2009 07:14 AM

I got mine - looks great. I'll take some pics and post them so you can check it out.
