Those products serve the purpose for the end result of making your car produce more power, handle better or stop better. The engineering R&D (hard part) has already been done by the people who've designed these kits, or used various products in the past.
One advantage of buying a common car I guess, like the S15, people have done it all before you, and you can benefit from that experience...
Who me???
I am not a business!
Sounds like you have not had the chance to use anything different except for off the shelf, bolt on stuff. It is all good and well to research a price but how many of us actually research a product?
Just sharing my experience which extends over 10 years.
You could see an advantage with buying a common car if you will. Have you ever noticed that pretty much all serious SR series engine are not using off the shelf intercooler kits, manifolds, etc.
You sound like a business getting up set because he uses off the shelf kits, has no real knowledge about tuning a car, engineering etc. Just buy, add margin and sell to what is cheap,or easy to sell. A middle man if you will. Parts peddler. I commonly call this type of person a REPCO agent.
Most true enthusiast would appreciate my comment, broadening their aspect of tuning and making their car go better then the guys next to him....not slag it off.
Modifying a car to go fast isn't about how much money you can spend! If it were we would be driving something faster and would not have the need to modify?
I certainly agree from benefiting from other people's experience and this is the whole reason why I posted what I posted, to share what I have learnt, the hard and expensive way. This is obviously something that you, nor one of these companies (resellers, middle med, repco agents whatever) or rip off (in your own words) will ever know or learn....
Sitting behind a computer with a desk full of HKS, apexi, greddy catalogues doesn't make you an expert... Far from it. What does it teach you? Nothing except for reciting what the catalogue says! I call this a parrot or parroting if there are multiples.
So, I guess Mr. Peterd logs onto his local favorite online store to spend some good cash. Say $8K on his S15 net result at the wheels 200 if he is lucky.
Here I am spending the same amount, but my car will break traction in 4th gear and pull 122mph down the 1/4.
That my friend is the difference between you and me and why you are further behind the 8 ball then what you think.
