Agree.
Not just about covering costs of manufacture (like cheap pikey companies that just copy someone elses work) but cost of R+D and then again something called profit which keeps companies afloat so they aren't working out of some dirty mill selling at the cheapest possible prices.
18/11/2009 - Yep, communists haven't taken over the world. Making profit is still allowed.
It may have taken a month to master the design of the GruppeM. So thats staff costs for one month, Rolling Road costs, equipment, PC software for design. Molding costs, packaging. Plus general business costs (not sure if GruppeM has a patent?)
Reckon you can do it from scratch to make 100 and retail at £200 each inc UK VAT etc? Go for it!
No where near as nice looking as the GM, although I bet it does the job just as well for a fraction of the price
this thread is amazing.
No way does it need to be £800, the only reason they sell it for that much is because people pay it.
Anyone who pays £800+ for a poxy induction kit needs their head checking imo
We will have these out at the end of January - EP3 only for now
Price will be £290 delivered, however i feel we will have actually improved upon GruppeM
We will have optional SFS style intake pipe. Also the breather pipe will be one piece silicone, not two piece with a plastic elbow. Also a OE style scuttle - plastic NOT fibreglass
Everything will be the same - the filter, the way it all clamps together etc etc
We are doing a Mugen rep for the DC2 also
