All right folks, opportunity is knocking. You should really answer the door.
Steve (exturbo6) and I are working with Gerry (02fpcivic) at JDM Fabtech and are each going to buy a top-mount turbo manifold to hot glue on to our boosted D17s (bolts are for suckas). The more folks who order one at the same time, the lower (within reason) the price gets.
"But 'foos. Why should I care?"
I knew you'd ask that question. Because you have a boosted Civic and don't want to use the crappy, poorly designed plastic intake manifold that Corky the Honda Design Tech decided was a good idea to use on the 7th gen. Go the website (
www.jdmfabtech.com) and look at the pieces. Look at pictures of Justin's (boilermaker1), Andy's (andyman97) and Gerry's cars. This is good quality kit.
"But 'foos. I don't have that kind of money."
That's OK, as long as that sentence is followed by a "Yet." You've got some time to give blood, sell that extra kidney you're been hanging on to, and who really needs 10 toes AND 10 fingers anyway? Superfluous meat if you ask me.
We're looking at getting this going near the end of January, early February so if you want to buy one then, you've got some time to scrape together some cash. The way it works it half to Gerry up front and the other half when he's done (estimated about 3 weeks) to finish the deal and ship your intake mani.
Steve and I are doing this regardless of who else hops on this bandwagon. It's an individual effort that Steve let me know about, but there's an opportunity for other folks to benefit from it as well. Here is your chance to get a quality intake manifold for less than what you'd pay for it going to Gerry by yourself.
Serious inquiries only. You've got to pay to play with the D17, we all know that. Post your questions here or in PM to Steve or me, but keep in mind we're just customers here.
