ARP deal update...

Post by **justinmc** » Wed Feb 11, 2004 5:32 pm

I went ahead and ordered the sets of studs today... oddly enough only ONE person actually coughed up the dough. Thats kinda disconcerting. I ordered a couple of extra sets for stock...

Oh and one guy emailed me wanting the part #'s because he just wanted to go down the street and buy them from ARP. I don't think the #'s are a secret.. but I'm not going to readily hand them out. Sorry if that seems rude to anyone but I'm not charging an unfair price or anything.

For anyone who wants anything else just hit me with an email... I'm looking at stocking alot of CA stuff... but I don't want to pull stuff into inventory if no one wants it. I'm probably not going to stock things like Tomei, etc.. but I can get some other items and alot of universal items or OE replacement parts. Oh well thanks for the guy who participated in the deal and for everyone else just email me if you want em.. I've got a couple extra sets coming.

I'm not that pissed.... I understand people have things they have to spend $$ on. I mean it'd be nice if we all had unlimited income to spend on our cars.. most don't! I just lost it for a second after dealing with the one guy who kept wanting to know the part #'s repeatedly (via email).. I wasn't going to give them to him because anyone can do a search on this forum and find most of the right #'s... It was more of an insult.. like "hey I know your trying to help us out.. but how about you help me with the #'s so I can help someone else's shop make $$" Oh well.. you get your car out of the impound? I hope!

How much is it for a set?

Post by **justinmc** » Wed Feb 11, 2004 5:32 pm

I was doing the GD for $105... but I was going to stock them and sell them for like $125 or 130...

Hey justin i was'nt bugging you about giving me part#'s!!!! I just asked once via email!!! and the reason i was asking you the part# was cause you were selling the headstud kits for CA and i wanted to know if these part# numbers APN12-1 (10pcs)(nuts), ATP 5.060-1 LB (bolts) (10pcs), APN-58 (washers) (10pcs) were in your kit....

Hmm... How many bolts/washers etc does that include? The ARP Package for a Z32, which has 12 studs, 12 nuts, 12 washers, and a 2 other smaller studs/nuts/washers, runs about $150. Complete engine kit runs ~$225. Not to say your pricing isn't good, but just wanted to throw out comparison numbers.

10 bolts, 10 nuts, 10 washers..... also includes a little pack of the moly lube. $150 isn't a bad price for the Z stuff.. more than fair. FYI the studs wholesale for about $10 each... I'm not making a ton off these things which is why I don't want to pull a bunch into stock. If you broke the Z kit down and ordered each stud/part individually it would probably cost more than $150... make sense? The CA kit has to be bought, ordered individually...they don't officially make/produce a "kit" for the CA.. kinda like the KA24DE kits (see link at left)... the parts are ordered individually and cost a bit more..

Yes you were! LOL... no no.. I didn't take it like that.. well I did at first. Like I said.. your mostly right on the part #'s.. but the last # is not washers.. its a lock nut #. My girl over at ARP got me straight...

yea i got my car outa impound, but i got set back a couple hundred, mainly the money i was gonna buy headstuds, headgasket, and other stuff to get my ca back together so i could throw in into my car,

Looks like I missed out on this headbolt thing for now, since I just replaced my head gasket. But I will pick up a set from you in a month or so. Im going to have a CA head rebuilt in the mean time and get a metal headgasket and ARP bolts.

Can you get CA 3" downpipes?
