They want 160$ for a walbro 255, no install kit or anything just a generic pump..! The things are 90bux online (and yes thats a genuine walbro).. Thats ridiculous markup. A few things they're prices are in line with, but other things are right out to lunch..

It's only retarded if they can't find enough suckers to pay the mark up

That is funny as most of their stuff is actually cheaper then places like Summit in the States. They came in $70 less on my nitrous kit then in the States.

Do you need that pump today, or can you wait for it to ship in from the States? There's a price to be paid for convenience.

Except I burnt them out. Hence the reason I needed 2 new ones.. :nut: Well one still runs but I don't trust it. But someone still wants them, so I'll sell them to him.. I don't know if he's rebuilding them or what. I'm running 2 in tank..

They take advantage of that they are one of the only shops in Calgary who kind of carry that sort of stuff. It is the same as Audio Concepts... I can find it else where for cheaper, but they are the only shop who really carries that good stuff and does actual decent custom work.

Like you said... you got to pay to play.

Oh yeah.. I'm sure no name chinese junk would help out my problem... Don't you have little boys to make out with or something..

Moral of the story buy 2 online for the price of mopacs 1, express ship it and don't deal with those clowns.

Premature failure
Loud
Extra heat and inefficient

Is it worth that risk saving $40? Then again I bet rota wheels and APC seats are all the rage.

Eating a fully built engine when it dies and goes lean.. that could be a downside. :dunno:

I'm pretty sure they are fully retarded. I don't buy anything there anymore. The customer service is brutal.

I find the prices good. A lot of stuff is cheaper than Jegs and what not from the states actually. But their customer service blows...

I've only bought somethin from them once but they will for sure see me again.

They were cheaper then a few online retailers. They did not however stock my item so it had to be shipped in and I was told that they would be there next week(5 days to deliver to mopac) they called me up the next day and said my part was ready for pickup!

I guess it depends on what you buy. My aFe intake from them was close to $100 cheaper than anywhere else I could find it online... and i had it the next day...


and sorry for going off topic, but I like my Rotas too... all you haterades that keep posting that Rota pic... do you know what happened before it snapped? was it abused? Any wheel can break when subjected to abuse it wasn't meant to handle... and don't think for a second that I wouldn't spend money on wheels, my Civic was rolling on TE37s... I just can't justify the price... it'd be nice, but I got other things to worry about...

No Rotas in these pics:

Does anyone know if you can buy just the pre pump screens they come with? The little white tea bag type thing.
