Hughes412 said:I don't see how he crossed the line. I can see his point. This is a 626 manifold, you said so your self. Yes some one found a way to make it work. GREAT! But what isn't great is the jacked up price. But thats cool. Somebody will by and then let out whats been done to it and then we can copy it. Like I said before, (and yes I've ran several auto shops so I know about profits) you shouldn't try to make all of your money on just the first couple of parts sold. You could break the price down and make it alittle more affordable. You could have come out from the start and said it was a reworked 626 manifold and. But you didn't. Your 500+ price and the fact that you said it WASN'T a 626 mani is what turned this into a b**** session. azian6er might be a jerk on other threads but he did call this right and from what I can tell helped the protege community.

********** said:You are far from civil. You are an e-thug.
azian6er said:oh is that what they are calling saavy consumers these days lol?
Ill call you but i dont want it to be a b**** fest. If you tell me what you changed, not specifics, just an overview, from the 626 mani then i will call.
ANother thing, how are you even going to know what was changed if you didnt even "know" it was based off a 626 manifold?

Im glad that we have guys like Cullen workin for the protege community and making parts for our cars. Just appreciate his product, and if you dont think its legit dont buy it.
RXMmazdaspeed said:he just asked you a valid question, and you didnt answer. if you didn't know initally that it was based off of a 626 manifold, then how the hell do you even know whats different. he shouldn't have to call you for answers a lot of the members want. just answer his questions in a civil manner in this thread without beating around the bush saying he's crossing the line and for him to call you. just answer, plain and simple.
RXMmazdaspeed said:this thread is not uncivil... he made this thread for the purpose. he posted pictures that appear to be the same, and he wants some questions answered, as do other members. if not for asian6er, then for us members who are also curious.
