well... stores cost money to run. Much more than that of an online supplier. You're paying for the convenience of getting the part immediately and being able to return it immediately if there's a problem.

But.. if you work at one of those corner shops, the prices are much cheaper that's the route I take

Maybe if you let the store owners sleep with your girl they'll give you cheaper prices, but wait, she's probably already done so

Also getting it from a shop is they know the supplier and your getting a warranty from them. So no calling some dude in India going though the entire return policy.
Hey I have a nice ported Gen V blower just laying around stage 3 ZZP cam *mild*, I also have a water to air intercooler and all the hookups. I was gonna throw them in my GTP, but than that caught fire

Ya thats why I do the work myself, I learned to weld tig/mig. It's the ONLY way to save money on repairs
