Has anybody seen this on ebay cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7981049440&category=38634It has a price too low to be true or the product is inferior. It is the selling price for these items not bidding prices. Theres a lot more similar items priced about the same. If you read the ads for these products some have some serious mispelling in them making me pretty sure all of these are probably imported items. Even has power mirrors for cars priced as low as 4 bucks. the shipping is high 26.00 in us but still I think there is a catch. Let me know your responses on this item. Thanks, Dave |

Thanks for the reply! What was the quality of the product and what do you think about the prices for the tailights and other accesories on that site?
Anybody?
Should we be wary of this site?

The taillights are fine, we bought some for $86.00 shipped, they are ok, but now we wished we still ahd the factory taillights. The teardrop light we bought just don't look right with our theme. No Mopar Hot Rods ever had euro taillights before, but we had to buy a set quickly and cheap because I messed up the factory ones, so they work for now. As for the air intakes, I saw the one James gave away, they are ok, simple but ok, they are not crap so to speak. They are inexpensive, and massed produced, so you may find a nad one every now and then. But for under $30.00, they are fine, remember, it's not always the more expensive stuff that is the best.

I've bought ALOT of stuff off E-Bay and most of the time the description the seller gives is pretty much what they say it is.E-Bay is the best place to find parts as long as you know how much they are regularly from Race and street revelenterprises ETC.....

I've bought quite a few things on E-Bay and for the most part they've been pretty good , but not all the time . Most of the time the "Buy It Now" price seems too good to be true , but they make up the difference in the shipping . If you look at what most charge for shipping , and then look at the postage marked on the box when you get it , they make their profit on the shipping for sure . Even with the cost of the box , labels or whatever else they have in handling charges , their freight costs are 10 times the actual cost . But often times even with that , you can't find it lower anywhere else .

I bought an intake similar to that one. Had to remove stock modules and put them in the one I bought. Broke one which cost me $10. With help at "tool time" we got in installed. So far its worked fine.

I buy pretty much everything off ebay when I find a good deal. Saves me from paying full price for it.
That intake looks alot like the one I have from APC. Mine's the short one like that so to me it looks like it would fit. I saw a blue one before and thought about getting it and I still might. If I do I will let you know what I think about it. It's probably a good deal because all any intake is is a smooth hose inside with a filter on the end. This one just happens to be cheaper because they are making their money off the shipping and that makes the overall price on the bid lower.
It might be a good thing. I'd check first to see if they accept returns and if they do then it wouldn't be bad to do it and return it if you don't like it or just resale it.

I was looking at their other items for sale and noticed that they have mufflers. That reminded me that I just bought a new muffler kinda like the one that I had before...one of the big loud ones. I got it and paid only $35 for it and that included shipping! It was brand new when I got it and sounds and works great. So sometimes new stuff like that that is really cheap is good but worth looking into first.

I got mine off Ebay from them only difference was the pipe was chrome not red. Only problem I had was I had to go to Lowes and get a 30 Cent grommet for the sensor. The chrome piece had the hole but no grommet. Works great and I can get replacement filters from Auto Zone or on Ebay.

My husband and son buy most of their truck parts from ebay. My husband bought a 95 Neon intake like that for my son's 86 Ranger. It worked pretty well.

agp turbo has a 3" intake kit for the turbocharged pt's for a low price of $150.00 ( The AGP intake is a full three inch all the way to the turbo. This will come with a sleeve to adapt to the 2.5" inlet on the stock turbo that is removable when you upgrade to AGP's Turbo Upgrade kit. It includes all the clamps, high flow washable filter, valve cover vent tube, and a new hose for valve cover vent. Available powdercoated silver and unfinished), they also have BIG turbo kit for the pt from which they've got over 600 whp and 650+ ft lbs of torque on the srt-4 neon.
Does ne-one know how hard it would be to change the factory turbo/lower upper intake manifold to the srt-4 upper/lower intake manifold, and if you could do this and if not what kibnd've mod.s would u hcave to make to the srt-4 intake manifold to get it to fit?
Thanx,
Taylor Boyd

Thanx, Taylor Boyd I don't think the srt-4 manifold will fit in our cramped engine bay. That's why they did a different design in the first place. There was a guy working on a large plenum design for the PT on PTcrew.com but I don't know what stage it is in or if he was even gonna produce many after his was built... Brian |
