You getting a RENNtech?

I sold my Carbonio for $500(boxes only). You could probably get
more. I wanted to get rid of it quick, so I priced it low.

The new owner didn't wan't it, so I kept the cover.

I paid $1500 for it new and sold it for $500 I was looking to sell
it quick and for $500 it sold real quick.

Someone sold a used carbonio(w/cover) a few months ago for about
$900.

How many airboxes are out there?
Would there really be a difference in between them?

Box tops I would say 3:

1) "ROW"
2) Carbonio
3) Renntech
4) MBH-unk but Hooley hinted something in the works according to a thread last year.

Renntech appears to be the most effective with humped funnel top leading to the smooth runners.

The RT unit is probably the most effective, but $2795 seems like a lot of money for (what appears to be) CF over fiberglass. They should just do the box in eglass and undercut Carbonio by $500.

You just can't help yourself from commenting about other MBW sponsors products can you? Granted the comments aren't as blatantly obvious as they have been but I think everyone gets your point by now, you're a disgruntled former employee of Renntech. Ok got it, now please shut up about them.

I would never waste a minute thinking of buying anything Speedriven due solely to your posts in this forum over the last 2 months.

Please grow up and post about your own products instead of making backhanded comments about others with successful and proven designs.

Vendors like you make this forum hard to take sometimes.

I'm not sure saying that their unit is more effective counts as a backhanded comment? Don't you think that if enough members of this forum contacted RENNtech and said "hey, awesome design! would you do a low-cost version for guys who don't care about the CF look but still want the performance?" that the company would notice?

I don't think anything I've said in this thread is negative or aggressive against any other vendor's product.

Maybe I'm wrong, I thought I was helping?

No, you're not helping, you're fulfilling your personal agenda.

I can count at least a half dozen threads (I'll find links later if needed) that you have personally ruined or completely derailed with your anti-Renntech banter--"Header Prices" was one of them.

Now that they are forum sponsors you need to seriously shut your mouth about their products. You have in the past posted information regarding where they source their products and have taken many petty pot shots as well. This behavior is childish and should not be accepted from sponsors.

The portion I highlighted in bold was an unecessary and backhanded comment which is what you've resorted to now that RT is a board sponsor, again though still too obvious.

People can buy the RENNtech CF Airboxes for $1996 via Dads Performance right now and if you look at the list you can see people believe numbers vs the words of an angry former employee.

Work on making your products better, and stop running your mouth about other vendors and their products, it just makes you and speedriven look bad.

My apologies to the OP, I just didn't want to see another thread wasted by posts made by speedriven.

Hopefully we can get it back on track without their input on other vendors products.

THAT's a good price. At $1996, it's the best airbox out there.

It's nice to see the other side of you. Not much you can do about the wife.

Are you still sore about sflgator's mental meltdown?

Otherwise what products have you seen me repetitively talk badly about? I'd like to know.

I give credit when it's due and also call them like I see them. Sorry if that doesn't jive with your logic.

You can reply via PM if you wish.

Sorry to jack your thread dodger, back on topic.
