You have a little memory, remember when you for no reason other than being bored to tears w/your mundane existence? Called MishaDesigns to chk on my widebody build? Misha, etc told me of your exact phn call/s they told you my car was inolved in fender bender in parking lot. you then took it upon your neurotic self to start an enitre thread dedicated to my build saying my car had been totaled and not to buy any of the stock bodyparts I was selling to off set costs of new kit.. You slammed the site w/this BS content. You had no reason/right to call Misha to chk on my build, or spread malicious totally false info on condition of my car etc etc.. You are a mean spirited cantankerous old koot..

What I'm doing here isn't nearly same, you're price gouging members for beatup used parts etc karmas a bi_tch enjoy it!

I have learned a lot from therickers post, ALOT. as many here have, his 8000 some posts are the reason.

His passion for the cars we drive is the reason why he posts so as much as he does, so I for one, appreciate the time he has put in since 2004.

Everyone wants to get as much as they can for their used products, no issues there; but they are almost 2 years old and your depreciation on the price is hardly there for the intercoolers alone.

If only our cars held the value that you seem to percieve...wow.

Good luck with the sale though, I hope you get it.

Thericker I see that you have over 8,638 posts on this website... WOW! Exactly how much time does someone have to spend on one website to post 8,638 times?

You think $3,500 is not enough of a discount well that is your opinion.
I wonder why you spending so much time getting involved in another persons sale?

Thericker don't you have better things to do then call Speedriven asking Marcin about a kit that someone else is selling that you are not interested in buying? Maybe it is time for you to get a life?

Guys verify this for this yourself!

The Speedriven Website shows their IC kit is $4,900. Marcins email on the last line says complete kit is $4,900 and I was told today by them $4,900. Plus two different guys PMd me that they were quoted....

Wait for it..... $4,900.

I am not going to say more about this...
Good.. Because this member has an ACTUAL LETTER from Spdrvn contradicting your river of

140 for pulleys

That leaves 3560 for the intercoolers

And in the email he listed them as 4300 for ecu/tcu, ic pump, intercoolers

Using 3560 as top mount intercooler price
100 for ic pump
500 for ecu / 500 for tcu (1000-1500 is about market price for both units)
and 300 for intakes. Theres your rough 4900

U even see it in the msg in both pm and email he list 2 different price which both exec and thericker both stated. But point is either way you break it down its still 3500 for top mounts
Do you need new reading glasses

I received this and other PMs and emails...

Well just this morning there have been 3-4 more very looong posts by Thericker! He seems to think I care about his opinion.

I thought posting other members PMs sent to me was appropriate. This is one from a very well respected long time MB member in the Chicago area.


"SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE!"

"Speaking from past experience Thericker is not worth the time. Just pay him no attention. He will keep on posting and your thread will go down hill.

i am not quite sure he knows anything about cars, he just hears / reads and posts online."

(XXXX)


Flame away Sean...

If no one buys them I would go $1800. I have another shop that can build me a set for that but I don't want my car down for MN short summers.
