Oh hell... why not.

I usually hate ebay for several reasons, BUT......

I made a purchase last week. I was going to try and keep this a secreat but nahh...

http://loudorangecat.com/alternate/steadicam/01thebox.jpg

I got a helluva deal and couldn't just pass it up. Anyone care to guess? What was inside is a smaller box, the shipping one was waaay outta porportion.


:p

hint?


performance, repair, aesthetic, electrical...


categorize it somehow...

Performance. It weights about 1olbs i would say.

a bulk quantity of those performance resistors, now you're going to sell them individually and make thousands,

but seriously, i know it cant be anything too technical if you didnt hesitate to buy it off ebay, thats a pretty big box to weigh only 10 pounds too,

is it something thats going on YOUR car specifically?? (trying to think of what your car doesnt have)



oh yeah, shipping is always astronimcal on ebay, they sell it for 1 penny, then shipping is $30, thats so they can make they're "selling fees" way cheaper, if they only sell it for a penny, and ebay takes a certain percent of what the item sells for, they're (ebay) not gonna get very much and the seller profits that much more

Cai?

New Throttle body?

venom 400? lol...

I give up! Please Enlighten uS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a turbo, no pipes or anything. ? :dunno:

Your new High Preformance Dildo

lmao hahahaha

man, someones proud, nice work!

I used the RDFABS ebay account as a buisness one to get it cheaper then the listed price of $695. Turbonectics is cracking down on Ebay sellers selling them for waaay less as wholesalers directly to the customers instead of shops which are loosing buisness. But since we are a business I got it for $450 saying it was going to be meant for a shop show car.. which in a way it is...If you look at alot of the auctions they say if your not the end consumer of the product they can get better prices for you..... Can we get a hell yea for ball bearing turbos!... Woot!

This is the absolute last thing I am buying for right now. I need to get the car painted before I turbo it fully. I cleaned her up tonight and parked her for good 6-7 months of winter to come.

I miss her already... :(

Are you ever gonna put a resonator on her?

Ps. Do I get a free CAI from Rdfabs for winning? :grinyes:

Its on the list of things to buy, but currenty I am trying to shrink the gap between how much i have and need for my paint job. Only time the exhaust noise gets to me is when i really get on the pedal and if i drive like a normal human being it sounds like a dream.

... and no to the intake. If you had a 2200, when the time comes to run the charge pipes for the turbo I would sell you mine for a killer deal.

what color are you going to paint it? fresh coat of white n black?

Going to keep it all white. Carbon fiber is staying just the way it is. Door handles and outter portion of the mirrors will be painted white. The front lip of the bumper is going to have a black portion to set off the black of the carbon fiber.

lucky bastard! lol

Nice...so that JUST the turbo correct?

Must be nice to have connections. Oh well...hopefully I'll be working for Honda soon...can we say employee discount?? :)

(I know most of you hate honda's, but there is no way i'll pass on a cheap 06/07 Civic SI)

Yes, no pipes, no intercooler, no intake.

I feel ya brotherine, I feel ya.

well have fun getting rest...and take pics, lol.

what is their ebay name lol

1) The ebay seller is treadstoneperformance.

2) I have no intentions on ordering anything else yet, I need this thing painted first. So right now I have a 450 paper weight.

3) I not only have the RDFABS business name, but I work at Advance Auto parts since july and 20% off on w/e I want. So i just second source anything that I want, then have them price match and take my 20% off that.

4) I probably won't even get to drive my car again next summer either now... Turbo install down time so that everything can be custom fabricated. Damn it all....

Little update..

This project might die before it even gets off her feet. There is a 50/50 chance that the turbo'd sunfire's engine is blown... With all the headaches that we thought we had figured out to get her to run like a champ just died tonight. Oil lamp started flashing and the motor has a nasty rod knock. Now were not sure what happend or what is wrong besides low oil right now. If chris blew his motor, I am going to put a stop to this project. I have a feeling I know why, but for right now I am keeping my mouth shut.

owch, if you do decide to sell it.... i call it first! sorry to here that tho, i hope its not as bad as it seems.

...2nds lol

Just got a call from chris 7 quarts of oil in the fucking thing, and its still showing low oil level light...

Were thinking its the oil pump right now. So its on a dolly back to the shop where They are going to drop the oil pan and look at the pump and see if something is wrong with it.. I'll know more later tonight.

Hey congrats on the turbo buy cody!! lucky bastard.
