Ok, with all the issues with that evil HKS mushroom pod, i went out looking for a new replacement filter. i went into this shop, it is a half mobile phone shop, half "car acessories" shop. The guys were rude and had no sales skills what so ever.

Ive been into this shop before and wasnt impressed, but was kinda in a rush to find something decent, and in the local area.

Out of intrest, i asked him how much it costed for a replacement sponge for evil HKS pod, he didnt have any in stock (as always), then he continued to open up this folder and look up the price.

He said he wanted, $200.00 for a FUCKING replacement SPONGE the slut head, he didnt flinch when he said it either.

I gave him the raised eye brow, and said, yeah sure, and off i went. These things retail for about 1500 YEN (around 25bucks AUD) from greenline excluding delivery.

Anyone wanting the store name, and location, PM me and i will glady tell you the name and location of this store.

wouldnt be a shop just out the main entrance of a large shopping centre would it?

Been there before, dont think the two products should mix.

I know the shop you are talking about, and have had a problem with them in the past ie: ordering products in, then after they land, they have changed their minds, and wont stand by their original purchase order.
Would expect better out of a trade customer, it sucks getting stuck with an uncommon part that is not easy to resell.

http://www.speedfreak.com.au/shop/catal ... Path=40_41

Aussie RRP of the 150mm is $55.00 (¥2500)
Aussie RRP of the 200mm is $44.00 (¥2000)

Ours are priced $33.00 and $22.00 respectively.

The whole aim of ours when creating the business is to prove that there is no reason why you should pay stupid money just because the parts are Japanese! The local 'branches' of these companies have had it good for way too long.

i know who ya talkin about... my mate got his s14a serviced from them for 600 bucks.. they gave him the wrong spark plugs which were 1.1mm instead of 0.9mm which cracked in two weeks and the oil was like water.... we asked him what brand did and type did he used - he responded that it was a special mix...

My mate also got his Apexi computer installed there... the installation looks butchered!...

Those asians know nuthin... mobiles and automobiles are not the same things...
