thats what happend with me n my turbo kit..people calling me n sayin hey i can get a full turbo kit for 800....my response was..ok then go buy that one..(even though i did have to sell it for 800 cuz i had bills that HAD to be paid after dealing with a great shop(2nrwerks) with my wonderful build and super fast turnaround time..to think they rebuilt my bottom end in less the 5 months..awesome) anyway its bad..no one has money(im one of them) but yet want everything...

someone offered me 2200 bucks for a built lsvtec crx...the motor is worth more then that

its cheaper to build a New motor then it is to buy a swap from a "dealer/company" i still build 3/6 motors a week and compaired to what you would pay from like password jdm or something you can have a nice freash motor

Weird!

I know the market for Honda is huge on the K-series side! I average $500-$1200 a week on K20.org vs B-series orders! Sadly, my B-sseries parts I'm rarely selling more! Higher demand on K stuff now than it was last year! Look forward to SEMA again this year, more K-series stuff now!

But buying a complete swap under $1k is still BS unless stolen, lol. Thats when you step and say, "fine! buy it somewhere else!"

I get this everyday, I normally hangup or don't reply back!
