depends how clued up he is, he might have got it cheap from someone who didnt know what they had, and might not know partially himself.

worst thing he can do is tell you to fuck off, then you increase your bid.
1k is a decent price for the loom/ecu aswel.

have you considered 4 large injectors and swedish plenum?

Matt sold his plenum and fuel rails for 1K I believe, a couple of weeks ago, so represents current market value.

I'd have thought you dont need the ECU

Its just a L1 isn't it??? Any decent mapper should be able to map a L6 with a chip to run 8 inj surely???

so offering him £4 won't actually swing it then?

if it's worth a grand and you offer him less then that's what mates are for
if he wants proper market vaule he'll stick it on ebay

James, ask youself if you really need that 8 injector setup.....

Even at (say) £ 800.00 it's not really good value........

You could use a late Es Cos (EEC IV) plenum with 10mm spacer, 4 x 750 or 900cc injectors, a bog standard L8 ECU and get an MSD or NMS live map ALL for about the same money and that "bling" RS-500 set-up.

Sorry fella's been busy,spoke to him & offered him the £750............he went a bit quiet & said he'd hoped for more around £1200 as the inlet was complete He said to leave it with him til later?

Cant blame him tho its christmas he needs the money more than i need a cheap inlet!!!!

From the sounds of things the money hes asking for it is ok but not for me at this moment in time

Saying that he may call me back with a better price

TBH I presume they are only expensive as they are magnesium ?

Surely if another material was used they wouldn't be so pricey ?
