If that's the case then fine, I'll make a thread saying "what did you spend?." I don't see any reason to reply other than to brag but hell lets go for it! I'll make a list right now for you even though 90% of my cost is in my BUILD THREAD where this stuff normally goes. I've also included the porting money somewhere here or in my build thread. I'll also include my urine and blood sample for everyone to see. If this all makes you feel better then I feel somewhat sorry for you that your day needed filled knowing I spent like 2k on HP and people like 1slow spent $10k+.
Also I don't see what my vender status a few days ago has anything to do with the back and forth CRAP I've received for over a year. I didn't know me paying to be here eliminated all hate I have for a certain person that never lays off or backs down. I guess getting married or having a baby fixes all relationship problems too. I'll remember that.
I don't think it's crossing the line. The report button is there for all. This is a public forum, welcome.

But isn't that the point of this open forum? this is in the intake/exhaust section and intend to keep my car NA while looking at possibilities to improving the HP hence my 'nose poking'. So I get an intake/exhuast, headers and tune... what else will get any more out of an NA? Well last time I checked port n polish is another option.
One vendor will sell gen 3's for 500 another might sell for 450 another for 475. The whole point is trying to find out our cost to build is so that we share our resources to find out if a potential vendor is over charging you or not. And even if you have, it reverts back to my original question of 'validity and skepitcal about price'. If you were able to get NEW gen 3's for 250, I would call that BS because I know that even used that's a bargain. I'm trying to do you a favour in seeking clarity of your claims but you've come off a bit strong.
What you sell to another person may not be the same price as someone who can bargain, that's private and I do not care for those #'s I care about what listed price was so I can make an informed decision. After all the 'mods' you've done, get a price point. Your new port and polish and see the price point again, to determine 'would it be worth it for me'. You've placed this into the tech section and regardless if you agree or not people want to know price points to determine if it's within budget. I know I don't have an unlimited tap of cash and I want to first do the mods that I can afford that will give me reasonable gains.
And go ahead and report people that you are not comfortable with, but I will restate this again in more simple terms. Personal PM's are NOT public hence should NOT be made public unless explicitly expressed by the other party. So unless TRIPS said 'go ahead and post our conversation in regards to blablabla' that is against the rules.
