http://www.raceeng.com/c-44-sport-compact.aspx

this is where zpi gets there stuff.

its also alot cheaper. i ordered pistions, rods, rod bearings, and main bearings from zpi for $1,600.(thats with a hundred dollar discount) when i got my package dropshiped from race, the invoice to zpi was only $1,100. so basicly i paid $500 to zpi for them to place an order.
About a 30%-50% markup is normal in any business. If people saw what stores pay for the stuff they buy everyday, they'd all have a melt down. Although I can see anyone being upset with that. I feel you bro.

i dont care how anyone tries to sum it up. you will never convince me that $500 is an acceptible price to pay for making an order for me. if i had known this information before hand, i would have drove to race, which is not even 15 mins from my house, and bought the stuff there.

That was the retail price? I thought that was dealer price.

click on the link. put what you want in a shopingcart. and then do the same on zpi's website. after that look at the difference and ask yourself. do i need to throw that money away?

olahalo:
Here is a link to 318_tc's thread showing what he got:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=178359
Some Dezod stuff. Some Turbo Toyotas stuff. Some custom stuff.

So, how's that manifold?
C'mon, post some pics

Really nice!
But now that you posted it up in this thread, when I post mine up, it won't be as impressive!!! You steeler of thunder!

Oh well, now I have a number to shoot for and I know what potential my kit will have!
