new IC. did i pay to much??

[supra_fast]

well i actualy bought it used but i think i got a pretty good deal on it. its and ARC. I have some pics but there from my cell phone so there kinda shitty. he had it on his car when i went to look at it and it seemed like it worked good. we drove his car for about 10 min and on the last little bit he pushed 2 and 3rd gear to redline to really get the turbos spoolin becasue i wanted to see how hot the pipe coming out of the IC would be and it was not warm at all. IT seemed pretty efficent. the pipe before the IC was very hot to the touch.
LMK what you guys think of the deal

I payed 375 canadian :aigo:

ps. how would i clean it to make it look all shinny and new agian. wet sand or something??? :1zhelp:

 

[dbsupra90]

w/ pipes that not a bad deal in my opinion. i paid $900 for my previous setup.

to clean it up, all you need is some scotchbrite pads, fine sandpaper, and some polish. id recommend real polish w/ the pad and rouge.

 

[OneJArpus]

thats not bad, i paid 400 and change for an ebay ic & pipes with couplers & t-bolt clamps

That is CHEAP. ARC makes nice products and that is a steal.

Cool

 

[supraman7mgte]

alot of hand polishing will make it come back

 

[supra_fast]

well its good to know i made a good deal. kinda went into the deal blind. i wasnt sure if it was a good deal because im not really sure how good a name arc was. thanks for the imput

 

[MK3Brent]

Not a bad price especially if the pipes were included and are complete.

** I paid more than twice that for a custom spearco core bar and plate IC, when you can get them these days for next to nothing. **

So yeah, you got yourself a deal.
Pressure test it and make sure there are no leaks.

 

[supra_fast]

Ya i got the pipes with it. and ya im going to pressure test it. sucks i dont even own a supra.lol looking right now but havnt found the right one. i want one that is super clean. but no luck at all yet. not much to choose from here in canada. thinking about this car. http://www.tyeeimports.com

the supras look like there pretty nice. but im very interested in 2 of them. the ones on row 11 and 12 on the far right.
Stock #4591 and #4599

what do you guys think.
ps. the intercooler came off a 1jz

 

[Ckanderson]

yea make sure to pressure test it.

I filled a 7m one with water, it leaked from like 3 places.

Sealed up with JB weld.

Flat Black is unshiny Satin is a bit shiny

 

[Poodles]

ever notice that IJ doesn't have a single pic of his car in one piece sitting on the ground looking like a real car?

never gonna get those fins prefectly shiny again anyways, personally it's form follows function. IJ just hates shiney stuff and goes to great lengths to kill them...

Poodles: I try to keep full pics off the net

 

[MK3Brent]
