I created this thread to show appreciation for our vendors that provided us with excellent products at great prices and also for the MSP newbies. Here's a list of our top vendors and what they sell that are made exclusively for our MSP. All rankings are my personal opinions, which are based on if they actually make the products for our MSP and forum participation. All prices are for US dollars only. I mean no disrespect to any vendor. I am not liable for the prices posted. I gathered the prices on 31AUG04. Vendors! If you have more products than what I have listed or changes to existing products, let me know and I will edit this page.
HiBoost TS - #1
Authorized Vendor
HiBoost in my opinion is probably our best vendor. Juan produces the most amount of performance engine related products. Not only does he provide excellent products, he provides excellent communication with his customers. I had a problem with my FMIC install. I sent him PM's about the problem and he was very responsive. He is very knowledgeable about cars and I trust him and his products with my money. He spends a lot of his time on the forums, helping many of us with our problems even if we're not his customers.
