TURN OFF CAPS LOOOOCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
![]() ![]() So they dont make the Camry or MR2 applications anymore either? If they do the much beter deal would be to just get one of those kits for less money, because 4500-5000 dollars is quite expensive. However I'm not about to sabotage this thread....for somebody who really wants this kit and has the money it would be great to see it happen, it's an excellent upgrade for those looking for a realiable upgrade without tearing your motor apart and swapping. Plus, it'll include everything you need and only requres 5 people to be committed to it. I'd like to see this happen though...I personally am just too poor. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

im sorry...but thats just lame. the charger was already priced too high, and now its even worse. for 4,500 you could have 3rd gen swap pushing well over 250hp at the wheels and it would be way more realibable then this kit.
if anything, i would have though they would drop the price to help move a product that didnt sell in the 1st place. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

My thoughts exacty guys....I just didnt wanna bring their idea down or anything.
If you have that kind of money to blow, theres much better options for the 6gc GT. ROMANO, what if you explain this to Ripp Mods and see if they can offer a lower priced "tuner package" like they had for the MR2 on their site? I still dont understand why they thought we were the insane ones for not showing interest when its not even competitively priced with the more popular and (potentially) more reliable route, the 3SGTE swap. ![]() -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

I mean, if its within the $2700-3000 mark then I suppose it would be worth it on a good 5SFE, but not for 4500 or 5000 for that matter.....Jen, what did they tell you when you talked to them?

When I called, I was told that they had limited availability, but they were not discontinued.
And the price was the same. -------------------- |

I would say somewhere under 3 grand would work. But even then, nobody will put up that kind of money to be the first.
I wouldnt. I would go with the the 3s way, its proven to work. the results are amazing. Cant say the same for this because not one 6gc has it. DEF -------------------- ![]() I will return one day. |

Hmm. I would just say get the tuner package if you can get it and thats what you want, and dont let them overcharge you. Otherwise dont deal with them.

they problably told jen that they had one or two kits left cause she just asked for one kit. when ROMANO called, he probably asked if they still made the kits for the whole comunity, and they told him they could restart the mass production of those of they got 20grand from us

Well it's something to that affect i was just asking for myself. but the guy said it cost to much to build with low interest in anyone who actually wants it so yes Ray wants us to purchase in bulk so no one backs out ask him yourself .Ray said that the only ones that actually have it are two 97 toyota camary owners in illinois 2 solaras and 1 dude actually bought 1 for his celica and he was also being sponsered be ripp modifications but never put it on his 6 gen

if the other packages are cheaper can't u just modify an mr2 or camry kit to fit? or does that void any type of warranty you have or something?

The point is, Why spend $4500 to get an unknown amount of power and worse reliablity, when $4500 has proven to get a 3s-gte swap, and a great mount of power with lower miles.

My 3sgte is very reliable. The only times a 3sgte fails is due to user error.
