WERD.

No, I'm not dumb enough to bid before I know what I'm getting. But from the pics it looks kinda nice. But then again, good eye candy can sometimes bite you in the arse.

It's a custom fabrication by the shop or person(s) selling it, which means no one here, unless they've purchases one from them before, will be able to tell you whether its a good buy or not. In any instance, where you're turbocharging a KA, ready for install bolt-ons are not necessarily abundant, so sourcing a fabricated piece would be necessary. Doesn't seem like the bidding has gotten outrageous yet, so I say try to contact the seller, ask some questions about the piece, is it the first they have made, have they made others, have they turbocharged a KA(s) before, and what else necessary to the install can they sell to you. Their answers to those kinds of questions should tell you whether these people are reliable enough to purchase from.....Just remember you get what you pay for....

Hope that helps

last time i saw it on ebay, the buy it now price was $600-$700 so you might expect something in that range as the reserve price.

thanks Kreator, I was wondering what the reserve price might be. I've never seen it on ebay before as stated above. As for the first glance look from the picks, it actually looks like a nice mani. Even though I know jack about what makes a quality mani besides good welds and good fitment. I'm just wondering cause I'm still dreaming of my KAT that I "was" going to build this winter. That plan is on hold for now so I can get my mula together for my move to Japan. Now I'm rambling. I'll shutup now.
