The look of the FMIC has really grown on me.

Im still going to try and hook up the fog lights. Just need to make a bracket for them.

Do you have a rough idea of total cost including everything was into this setup?

Just buy my REAL PTK kit thats for sale instead of the knock off, save all the hastle and guess work since its a full complete kit plus allot of extras! In the long run it will probably be close to the same but you will have it faster and save allot headache and hastle in the meantime. Trust me I did finding some things and always running uptown, etc.

Total cost was about 3500.

All the items used are in either this thread or my other build thread.

Damn... I had pretty much switched over to the idea of running a blower because of the reliability. But for an *** load less you could have a turbo. Wow.

Well as long as the headache is worth it and it holds together for awhile. After all the longevity hasn't been tested on these kits and create more problems and cost than first anticipated. Hopefully they work out well for you guys!

Websy are you talking about the PTK/Ebay kit in general or are you talking about the ebay kits being tested?

Since they are identical parts made by the same people (ex PTK Employees) I dont see what the difference would be.

You have to forgive ol websy he has another agenda.....selling his GENUINE PT@ kit.

I kid.

Monello, how would you rate this headache that Websy is talking about? Was it hard to gather up all the parts or not really.

On a side note, please refer to the kit to what it is, EBAY kit. Please use that for your sig and future reference. No need to prop up TWO non sponsors please.
Thanks buddy.

LOL funny, you got me but on a serious note I hope that you guys all have great success. I also wasn't saying that it is hard to round up all these parts but very time consuming. If you are very patient and willing to have your car sit for a month or so than have at it. I got so sick of waiting for parts, parts getting lost, running to the store every other day. It wasn't hard at all, easy really but wasted the whole summer away without driving my car at all. It was out of my control too. Thats all I am stating and not bashing or bitching. Again, good luck to all who try these kits but you pay for what you get. These threads always use to get shut down and bashed but now they don't for some reason. Thats great I guess for the members to be saving money instead of going with the true and tried products of our sponsors. I'd rather spend the extra bit of money to know that I am getting what I want. Like OFI, KYPT, SPEED INC, APS, TTI, etc. Each to there own. GL boys and continue to keep us updated
