, never.

Some people just need to be knock off there high horse, . The modding game is not the same for everybody. If one guy want's to spend 600 and buy a CF trunk and the other guy wants to spend 600 and buy a catback, the guy buying the catback shouldnt be talking crap or making an example out of him. To please warr, I think everybody needs to go back to stock, spend less than 1k and run low 12's... problem solve.

BTW, that CF airbox is pretty dam sharp !

There very cheap as well.

 

Like I said and will say it again. If a person likes JDM and has the money, then it is his decision!!!!!!!!! Period. There is no wrong way to mod your vehicle based on your preferences!!! Everybody is different. I myself will pay for the JDM parts, why because I CAN!!! I love JDM. This is MO. I am not wrong because it is MO.

 

Well I'll be DAMNED if that ain't the Hottest thing.



I guess that this just clips on to the stock intake? How would it work on the HKS Super MEGA FLow intake?



It also shows as costing 97,476 YEN, what does that translate into dollars?

 

wait what hte heck... where did that air box come from?

 

I would like more information on this please.

 

97,476 yen = $851.51 USD dollars for Gruppe M Ram Air System
45,646 yen = $398.74 USD dollars for HKS Kansai Air Duct Set

Wonder what the difference is?

 

this is a pretty good analogy but lets take it a step farther. Lets say it's cold and you have $1000 to spend. you can get and Armani coat for $1000 or you can get a decent coat from Sears for $200. sure, you have the money to spend on the Armani jacket and look good wearing it but if you bought the one from Sears, you would still have $800 dollars left to get a winter hat, snow boots, gloves, good sox and be a lot warmer. if you have an unlimited amount of money then go for the best, but most of us are not millionaire, otherwise we would be in the Ferrari forum.

you guys justify that you pay a little more because the parts looks good. who's going to see the O2 housing, the test pipe, the intake, the ecu when you are driving on the road, the only thing they will see it the tail pipe. they might look good when you have them in the mod list in your sig. these are performance parts, not bling bling parts. get carbon fiber hood, 20" chrome wheels or pearl paint if you want to pay for bling and have people notice them.

 

If you want to get JDM and spend the extra cash, who are any of us to judge? Nobody, it is there choice to purchase what they want. No, I am not a millionaire, but yes I do have the money to purchase JDM. Yes, I could buy the Sears coat, but that is not my taste! This is MO, just like it is YO to purchase a Sears coat, just like it is other peoples opinion to purchase JDM. Just my .02.

The airbox is made by Gruppe M, one of the people i recommended that MuslimEvoFreak should look up when he get to Japan.

The filter element they use is acutuall a conical K&N unit. They sell the kit with the CF airbox or with just the filter alone (similar to the typhoon intake).

 

When I saw this I thought about clothing. Why buy name brand clothing when you can go to walmart and get tons more for the same price?

 

On the other hand, you can also get t-shirts for 100's of dollars which to _me_ is a waster of money. But everybody has different priorities and happy middle grounds...

 

Warr is alittle harsh at times I'll agree. Maybe his intentions were to actually help this guy spend his money alittle wiser. I bought the Greddy Ti cat back and Ebc which I could have saved $600+ on. That $600 would have got the cams sooner, but I still got them. Now the thing I didn't agree with was saying Warr was in deeper money wise because he bought a MR for 37k +. The topic wasn't total price including car, it was total MOD price. I might as well buy a JDM motor and trans and put it in GoKart so I can run 8's with the least amount of money spent................

 

You can look to get maximum effect for minimum costs or you can choose to spend a little more money for not a lot more gain (or even none at times) to get parts that fit a little better, look a little better or are just less of a hassle to install. It's down to what you like and I think for most of us it's somewhere in between the extremes. If someone comes up with a 3" exhaust, full ti, looks and sounds wonderful but costs like $2000+ then I'd say it's a waste of money, but I'd buy it for say $1000 while other people would only pay in the 100's and get the stainless steel system and see exactly the same gain. I wouldn't call the person who pays the $2000 for it stupid, but to ME I made a better choice. As long as he is aware that you can spend a lot less, HE'd think he's made a better choice. I don't think anybody's being dumb here, just different priorities.

However, if I suggest that somebody spend $1000 to get the same gain as somebody else who spent only $500, I'm going to get flamed for giving 'bad advice' and I can see the justification for that. In truth a suggestion which involves minimum expense for maximum gain is most appropriate on forums like this. [The person asking for those suggestions can then add on any expense he/she thinks important for them.] This is all well and good but when people who have the less expensive mods start flaming those with the more costly mods (who therefore suggest what they have cos they know it's good) it gets really dumb. Like i said, different priorities, take your pick.

I'm not talking about anyone in particular so please guys, don't get all upset. Personally, things would get boring if we all go around with the same set of mods and there'd be like 3 companies who can sell parts. I like to see people recommending/commenting on a variety of mods from lots of different manufacturers and I think I'm not alone.
