I don't think that tank has big enough fittings for our coolant system.

Who gives a ****, that's not the goddamn point. And its just like every other aftermarket part on this car - it came from a different car.... the point is start your own thread. And Massive Profit Margins are part of business, get used to it.

This is HIS vendor thread.

That'd be like going into Hahn's Turbo kit sales thread and talking about different places to order piping, turbos, intercoolers, and manifolds. Its disrespectful.

Except Hahn is an actual vendor, so far Stu is not. He is a normal user making a profit without having paid any vendor fees. (according to his user title and the first post of the thread)

Buying and Selling – Private party sellers may offer to sell individual items. No person, company, or business of any size shell attempt to sell merchandise, products, or services of any retail nature, or to make a profit of any kind. Anyone attempting to sell multiple quantities of items or in a retail/profit nature without being a Supporting Vendor of this site will be in violation of this site's rules and Terms of Use.
Not to mention Hahn's not producing a poorly constructed product with a 1000% profit margin.

ive already contacted the admin. about becoming one and have not had a response.

also, i am not making 1000% profit. i wish i was. good job at comparing a single individual who does all this stuff in his damn bedroom as opposed to a company that machines their own products and has tons of employees

The parts cost about $15-20, and from the first page you're selling it for $160 + shipping, right?

That's 1000%.

welcome to business 101. did you take into account labor, gas for driving around all of central arkansas to find parts, or for shipping. nope. nice try though. of course im making a profit, otherwise i would be doing this for no reason.

you guys are going to like V2, its alot cleaner looking, i just want to make sure it seals up more effectively. again to the first 5, you will be getting it free, ill let you know when

"STU quote"...and for the guys saying. "well id rather by X brand because it looks better." i am actually working on a more durable set of of nipples and how they connect. due to the support of the first 5, they will be receiving new reservoirs and nipples once i fine tune the new one. free of charge.

Stu, your awesome! Still holding strong! Like I said in pms and here, I supported the person who helped relieve my issues. So what if it was $160. It Fn works great. He so far has my support from here on out! I didnt see any "how to's or look what I made threads" from you haterzzz. Oh now once he posted up how simple it is to make now all of a sudden I can go make brand X for this amount...

Enough of this...
Thanks,
STU!!!!!!!

will do.

and just FYI, it eliminates the elbow all together

have you tried draining the system and circulating ice water through after it was hot yet just to see how quickly it cools?

man I've never seen so much bitching in my entire life. Stu is a long time respected member of the community who is doing something most of your lazy asses are too lazy to figure out and most importantly he is here providing customer support and improvements. He may not be a vendor yet but he's already a hell of a lot better then most vendors here.

+1 for Stu.
