OK i maybe should have made myself a bit more clearer, but i said i would put up a guide for everybody. The Rough price includes labour and you can drive your car home if you wish

let me answer some of your questions Eric

As with everything in life im sure people can do things cheaper but we pride ourselves in our quality parts and workmanship, we do thing right once and it never need attention again. Half of our projects undertaken have been messed up by the previous person/people that undertook them and our customers relise the importance of doing it correctly and doing it once
We have been very successful with our swaps and engineering and have a proven track record all over the world

@Eric, some of your pricing seems extremely cheap, i dont no if that is because you only no poor quality parts or your country is so much cheaper than ours but most of our european customer think our prices are cheap
Some of the prices you gave like Alu Radiator for 200, i dont think you could get a custom alu Radiator made in any country for that with custom mounting pointa core and end tanks?
Also 3inch Exhaust System. I think we are the only company in the world that offers a 3inch system for the ae86 so i dont no where you got that price

items such as mounting of the Radiator and V mount intercoolers like the one in the projects section as well as countless other item takes a lot more time than you would think

Also fitting of all parts and engine and gearbox for 500?? i dont think you realise how many parts there is. Please have a look at the Blue ae86 in the projects section

I hope this has cleared some things up
