Need Purchasing Advice...
#1
Ok so I've been sitting here at 2am cause I can't get any sleep so I decided i might as well get serious with my list of things I need to get for the soon-to-be-mine 3rd gen. So i started looking around at places looking for good deals and pricing everything nicely I have a few requests that I hope someone can help me with:
1) I want to get the black face Defi D-Gauge Boost and Temp gauge, only place i found them was rx-7store.net, im not a fan of buying from there because "i love me some nopistons.com" so i was hoping someone knows where i can get them cheaper then $115.00 and $129.00 each. I'm also trying to get the "Autometer Dual Pod A-Pillar Gauge Cluster" i found it on nopi.com for $26 but nopi.com doesnt seem safe to me, dunno why, and the only other place i found with it was rx-7store.net but they want $33 for it, can any beat that?
2) Trying to get the best price on the PowerFC and commander, found it for $1300+ and then on jt-imports it was $1250, how long does it take to get to the east coast if i order from jt-imports or are they shipped from within the states? Also is anyone having a nice sale on these anytime soon?
3) I don't want to bypass the AST and so far i onl found one Aluminum AST and it's $149.00, anyone know where i can get a better price or no?
4) This is a long shot but does anyone have the M2 Downpipe for cheaper then $295.00? I saw like 2 or 3 sites with that price.
I wasn't sure what forum this would go in because i'm not looking for used parts so i figured the parts section isn't good, then i considered the 3rd gen forum, but somehow i wound up here Feel free to move this topic where you feel it is more appropriate mr. moderators.
thanks for the help in advance,
kevin.

also if anyone is at all interested so far the "performance" mods grand total is:
$5297.00, and that's just parts, doesn'tadd in the coolant i'll have to buy, or all the other fluids I'll be changing, or the like $2 it takes to do a fan mod, doesn't count the price of a new fuel pump (can't find a good nice priced one, thinking of stealing a supra's), and dosn't count the price of new injectors as i have no idea when or what type i should get .
Then all I have to do is change the tan interior to black, get the Scoot hood, paint it black, get the GT-C front piece, some small side-skirts, and some rims (found these nice 17", 12.5lb rims, gunmetal on chrome, they look HOOOOTTT and scream performance). So you figure another like $5000 there.
So I've doubled the price of my car with add-ons alone so far And this is with the speculation that i'll never run into problems *knock on wood*.
I've spread it out into phases of completion though, starting small and eventually going huge, the last thing i'll be doing is the exterior/interior styling .
anywho no one probably will care, but this gives me something to do instead of be bored

Try www.gothamracing.com . Youmay also want to try www.racingbeat.com and www.rx7.com . I'm not sure on there pricing but they may have it cheaper at these places. Also try www.mariahmotorsports.com . Good luck. I hope you find them for a descent price.
