GROUP BUY - Megan Racing 4-1 Header...

[riceboy]

Since the initial GB was cosmetic, this next GB will be about performance!!! I've been able to secure a GB with Megan Racing on their unreleased Yaris header which will fit both the liftback and the sedan. The price will be $210USD via PayPal or $235CAD via Email money transfer. Pricing includes shipping direct to your door US/Canada. Each header comes with a no-hassle 1 year warranty.

We need a minimum order quantity of 10 pcs, and I think that we'll leave the GB open until November 1, 2006. Payments can be made to my paypal account, after the GB closes I will transfer funds and we should receive the parts by the 1st or 2nd week of December 2006.

-----===== UPDATE =====-----

Alright here's the news that I promised.. I know that we had a hard time getting to 10pcs.. however MR says that if we can put together a 20pcs GB that we can lower our cost to $190 USD via PayPal or $210 CAD via Email Money Transfer. Remember pricing includes shipping direct to your door US/Canada. Each header comes with a no-hassle 1 year warranty.

We need a minimum order quantity of 20 pcs, and we'll extend the GB open until Monday November 20, 2006. If we don't hit 20 we're stuck at the original price, but I think that we can make it cheaper for all of us!!

Any additional import taxes, duties, and brokerage fees where applicable, are the responsibility of the buyer.

***Upon request parts can be marked as replacement***

I've enclosed a couple pics of the prototype header from the Megan Racing Project Yaris.

[Violin]

ummm... ummm....ummmm......

[Lowfront]

I'll get in on this.. How much would this cost normally?

[Linkseal]

Nice pics....however, my friend who has 4-1 header in an Echo RS told he felt lost of the torque quite seriously...:confused:

[ism3t]

count me in, just pm me where to send the money

[Violin]

...my friend who has 4-1 header in an Echo RS told he felt lost of the torque quite seriously


Good point. Any idea what this one does to the torque curve?

[ItsMyDaily]

4-1 ones usually will yield good top end gains, while little if no bottom end gains compared to a 4-2-1 design. should not loose power down low though.

[vodkalush]

if only it werent winter time...

and if I had the $$ do replace the exhust while I was at it... I guess I'll have to wait :frown:

[FoEKuZ]

:burnrubber: i know i want...but i havent decided yet....still saving for the wheels....

[Chris07LB]

My questions:

Being as thats only the prototype, how soon after the GB ends, will it be in my hands?

Are they using the stock cat / resonator / muffler for their testing, or do they also have a complete header back system?

What kinda of warranty will they provide?

Thanks RICE! :clap:

[ItsMyDaily]

personally i'd wait for a dyno graph to see the actual curves compared to a stock dyno. I'd like to see if power is gained throughout the entire rpm range or if in some places(up top). Also woul;d be curious to see if power drops in certain places. The focus on yaris's should be to improve mid range power since these motors do not make high numbers in hp anyway.

[paultyler_82]

In general, 4 cyl engines don't experience torque losses due to header alone... the only reason there should have been any torque loss was if something was installed incorrectly, there was a leak, or due to the intake. You probably won't see any real low end gains however, and high end gains will be minimal unless used in conjunction with a better flowing exhaust and intake. In short, header alone isn't going to net you much improvement, it's meant to be used as part of a well tuned intake and exhaust system.

[riceboy]

Hey guys,

Just some answers to questions that I've been asked... MSRP hasn't been set on this unit as it's not on the market yet... but the guys at MR assured me that we're getting a really good deal.

As far as gains go there shouldn't be any loss in low, mid, or high end but there are no dyno numbers yet. They're anticipating that it will be 4-6 hp minimum and as others have said probably in the high end of the rpm band. With larger diameter tubing and equal length in the tubes things should really be opened up.

The product should be in our hands by the first week of December, the units should be arriving in California by the end of November. The warranty is one year and is a no-hassle warranty as stated by the MR guys.. they've basically advised that if there are any problems that they will troubleshoot and/or replace depending on the situation.

Everything used with the MR 4-1 Header is stock and they currently have a header installed and running on their project car, there are no plans for a mid-pipe as there are too many sensors and cats to work with. The only other planned add-on is an axle back exhaust which is still under development.

Other than that the following are answers to PM questions...

1) Will O2 Sensor's bolt right up?

Yes

2) Will the header include new gaskets?

New gasket and donut

3) Will it bolt up without additional modification?

No mod needed

4) Will they be C.A.R.B. certified?

Won't get carb certified, otherwise the price will go up double

5) Where will they be shipped from? The states or Canada?

Shipped from California, no pick up is allowed as MR is a distributor and doesn't do any retail from their offices

[Chris07LB]

RICE - add me to the list if they will be shipping EARLY December from Cali. :thumbsup:

HIDs might have to wait. HAR HAR

[dngz]

so it fits the sedan for sure?? anybody kno how easy the install will be?? and if MR has one on their prototype, have they tested it out yet??

[paultyler_82]

I wish I could, but with a house and another new car on the way... I don't think I can afford this one.... maybe if I save up.

[Violin]

If there are dyno numbers before the GB closes, I might be interested. I don't want to lose any low end torque.

[riceboy]

MR have advised that it will fit the 3/4/5 Door with no modification necessary. The prototype they have is fitted to their lb, but they haven't had a chance to run the Dyno yet. I've just been advised that if anyone is willing to run the dyno for them that they would offer that individual an additional reduction of $50USD on their purchase. They have tons of other projects on the go and just haven't had the time to get the testing done. Anyone interested?

[dngz]

They should give us free headers so we can test it out for them and tell them what we think and how much added boost we get!! Hehehe, we shouldnt have to pay them money so we can test their prototype product =P!!

[riceboy]

I tried positioning it that way as well, unfortunately they don't feel the same. As it stands I look at it as a fantastic opportunity because we'll essentially have product before even some of the retailers.

[eco]

Im in,hey riceboy,see if you can pull some strings and see if you can get the high flow cats to go with that.

[obylium]

count me in as well! :thumbsup:

[ChinoCharles]

That $210 price is insane... that is about how much you'll pay for Pacesetter headers for most four bangers, and Megan Racing is a far cry! See for yourself...

http://www.meganracing.com/

I'm fasting for these, haha

[Violin]

From that site:

Megan racing headers are made with T-304 stainless steel, Mandrel bent tubing, CNC Machined Flanges. Each set is tested and dynoed to make sure the fitment and performance meet our goal. Each header comes with 1 year warranty.

Oh really?


I'm still on the fence... but leaning.

[riceboy]

No high flow cat or midpipe is planned for the time being because there are a ton of sensors and two cats within the midpipe. Depending on how things go with the header, they'll look at producing some other pieces. They've done the testing and fitment on these headers but as I said they haven't had a chance to dyno test them yet. They are projecting 4-6hp gains based on the fact that the everything will be equal length and the overall diameter has been enlarged... So I guess for now it stands as this....

Where are all the Canadians for this GB???

[03Z33]

Megan header for Scion Xa/Xb can be found on eBay for $135 (plus $30 shipping). Even if the Yaris parts are a bit pricier at first, I'm sure the price will come down eventually.

[bigsky2]

Sorry riceboy, I'm sitting out on this one.

[redglare45]

Hey Riceboy, I think I'm going to have to wait on this mod. Thank you.

[dngz]

do headers show any improvement in torque?

[riceboy]

No prob bigsky and redglare.. there'll always be next time... dngz no dyno yet so there's no way of telling.. although with 4-1 headers its generally only an increase in the top end hp.... 03z33 I know what you're talking about... this is what they can do.. if you can wait I'm sure that there'll be more deals down the line.. I myself am still mod hungry so I know I'm paying premium prices.. but I want it now.... so too bad for me...:biggrin:

[ChinoCharles]

Alright riceboy, give me headers... woah that sounded suggestive.

[dngz]

got another question!! haha! let's say i get the headers with stock exhaust and they say its around 4-6 hp gain from the headers... if I get custom exhaust, will there still be a potential gain from these headers?? Like, if headers give 4-6 hp.. with stock exhaust, and without the headers but custom exhaust gives me extra 8-10... with both combined, will it be 12-16hp gain?? or will they combine and help each other out performance wise to have a gain of 15-18 hp??

LOL hope u understand!! Read it again and even confused myself a little... but yea.. I dunno how to explain it any better ><!

[riceboy]

I'm not sure that the gains will help multiply any hp gains, but it should help with the overall performance.. whenever you tune a car you're always trying to eliminate the weakest link.. the headers are just one way of doing this.

LOL hope u understand!! Read it again and even confused myself a little... but yea.. I dunno how to explain it any better ><!

Let's say this header does give you 6hp(up top), and if you put on an exhust aswell then you'll probably only get the hp that exhaust will add. For example tanabe dynoed with an additional 4-5hp or something like that. so you get 6hp fom the header, and then another 4hp from tanabe exhaust, but probably no more. The reason for this is because your cat(s) will still be in place. If someone comes out with a test pipe kind of thing for the yaris then you can get the full potential out of these mods.

[Violin]

You could always add this beauty: :rolleyes:

[dngz]

arent test pipes illegal?? In import tuner, they tested out a test pipe and a high flow cat converter and there was only 1 hp difference..

[riceboy]

test pipes are for off-road/track use only.... the headers should be fine... they aren't going to mess w/ the cats and we should be able to have them on w/o any problems.

[Chris07LB]

RICE - edit your first post to show all those on-board as of now. :thumbsup:

[Violin]

I was looking through the manual. Looks like it should be a very easy install - even in December.

I don't understand what they mean about too many sensors to bother with a midpipe. Looks like there is only one unless I'm missing something.

[riceboy]

chris no prob.. consider it done... violin.. this is what they advised me.. they told me that there's so much going on in the midpipe that they decided to pass on it.. at least for now.. i guess depending on how the headers go, perhaps they'll re-consider in the future...

That'll depend on what else you have done.. for the fact that we're working with such a small engine its all a matter of balance.. This MR header is designed for better flow and fitment without additional modification...

[ChinoCharles]

Only four more! Fill those slots up...

who else makes headers for the yaris? wanna compare

Sorry about the off topic,but has anyone found a good CF engine cover,maybe one that says VVT-I,or a good aluminum cover,or steel.I know the Scion XA's and XB's share the same engine,and I have found some covers for them,does anyone know what year Scions have the exact same measures.

There was the APR Performance cover for xB/xA which looks just like our stock cover in CF, with the "VVT-i" but no Toyota logo... however, it's been discontinued.

[riceboy]

Would love to ask them to lower the price, but it's hard to negotiate when we haven't even hit the initial gb minimum requirements... If we get it to 10, I'll work with them to give us another target and hopefully a better price!!!

I'll be getting this soon, and will give my impressions as to fitment and quality. You can find these all over on ebay.

Now back on topic.....Is anyone planning on doing the dyno for this once they receive it?

[ChinoCharles]

Now back on topic.....Is anyone planning on doing the dyno for this once they receive it?

Riceboy and I are trying to work something out with Megan Racing and Big Shot Dyno in Ohio. Things are still up in the air but assuming we can work something out, I will be driving to the dyno as soon as these things hit our doorsteps for a solid report on HP/torque gains (or losses! BOO). Big Shot does great work... I've seen a Mercedes C230 they tuned and that was awesome, plus they're the only authorized Saleen techs in the state. Go check them out.

http://www.bigshotdyno.com

[Chris07LB]

Nice Charles! :clap:

[ChinoCharles]

I can pretty much guarantee at this point that we will have dyno results with the headers ON the car.

There is also a good chance that we won't have the results for the car w/o the headers. I'm gonna try to find a way around this, but it isn't looking good.

Question for the real gearheads on the boards... is it possible to install headers using only equipment you can bring in the car in twenty minutes? If you have to pick the engine to get at it then I am screwed. If not, I'll bring some cheese wedges so I can drive up on them and get the new headers in.

[ItsMyDaily]

^ header install is an easy do it yourself. Swapped out the header on my S2K when I had it, although it may be a little harder on the Yaris considering your going doing it blind being that it's located in that small space behind the motor. It's simple bolt-off then bolt-on and go.

[hasher22]

I wish i can get the header........ :(

Ill just email the company after i round up some dosh :( i hate havin no money........

Hey itsmydaily,I have seen those,but wanted it to say VVT-I,but I guess Ill wait.

I remember installing a header on my old Sentra Spec-V. THAT was a b*tch. Had to remove the alternator and everything. Took about 5 hours from start to finish. I expect this to take a lot less.

Also, does MR still need someone to dyno a header? If that $50 offer still stands, I got a shop I can dyno the car at. :smile:

[ChinoCharles]

Wrap the header with what? A blanket?

Just kidding... where online can you get that wrap shit though? You're talking about the same wrap you'll see on CAI tubing sometimes, right?

[riceboy]

Header wrap is supposed to keep the heat in and increase exhaust velocity and engine efficiency, as well as reducing under-hood temperature.

[Chris07LB]

Soaking it in water first greatly helps the ease of install as well. Be sure you are wraping with the "folds" going in the right direction, and scrap the metal zip ties, for safety wire. :thumbsup:

[ItsMyDaily]

I'll never use header wrap myself. Have seen many that have used it only to end up with cracked headers.

[riceboy]

Well its an option... I know that I'll probably run the headers as is.... but if you're worried about the heat.. you can wrap em'

Ceramic coating works better than header wrap and the reason they soak the stuff in water is so that you don't get fiberglass pieces all over yourself :biggrin: It also helps to pour some talc powder on your arms to avoid the fiberglass itches :wink:

Yeah, I want to go forced induction a few years down the line, but if I'm dropping thousands on a kit, whats a $200 set of headers? I'll sell them to some 16 year old kid that just got his first car for 50 bucks, he'll be stoked.

ItsMyDaily,I dont think there would be much diffrence between a 4-1 and a 4-2-1 design,because the pipes are real short.The goal is to open up the exhaust,because I like to be able to get to my top speed faster when Im already going 75mph,but this design is still a major improvment over stock either way you look at it.BUY BUY BUY!!!

[redglare45]

Ok, I know I was gonna sit this one out, but I'm IN Riceboy. :smile:

[redglare45]

Sorry about disturbing your sleep Riceboy :biggrin:

C'mon guys, 1 more to go! :thumbup:

[ChinoCharles]

Riceboy, not to get ahead of ourselves but do you have any info on the exhaust to follow? Will there be a GB, is it center or side exit, pricing, etc...

[vodkalush]

damn your timing... if this had happened 2weeks earlier or 2weeks later I could have been in on this... but partying is still my #1 addiction and halloween just needed a big bash...

[Chris07LB]

9 out of 10 ain't bad... Megan Racing should honor this just for the fact we got 9 so quick for a product that's not even out yet!!

[ChinoCharles]

BUMP

And keep doing it until we have confirmation that 9 is enough or a 10th signs up!

[ChinoCharles]

AGAIN!

[riceboy]

no idea on what they have in store for the exhaust... I'll wait for their details... I'm trying to see if MR will extend the GB for another week... after all we don't expect delivery till December so I don't think it will hurt any....

[03Z33]

word is axle back only for now.

[vodkalush]

am i understanding that these arent going to be in till december?
when do I need to pay for them if thats the case?

[FoEKuZ]

am i understanding that these arent going to be in till december?
when do I need to pay for them if thats the case?

same question for me, if we payin in december....i would be in too then

october's cash is going to some 17s. november's is going to newyears in vegas...but december's...mmmmhhhh header would sound nice to have

[riceboy]

FYI in case you didn't read the very first post... the headers should be delivered by 1st of 2nd week of December. Collection of funds will occur after the GB closes, I'm trying for an extension however it won't push the payment date till December. Hope this clears up any questions... btw not that I encourage this but if you're paying through paypal you could always float the cash on a cc..... anyhow... 1 more day to go... and we need 1 more...

[eco]

LETS GO FOLKS,I NEED A HEADER,1 MORE PERSON NEEDS TO JOIN THE GB.

[dngz]

monstermotorworks has one (4-2-1). they say itll probably fit the yaris.. same with their intakes and stuff

[eco]

PROBABLY,DID THEY ACTUALLY SAY THAT.If this dosnt go through then I might,but maybe you or I should call them and get more info on the "probably",post if you call first.

[ChinoCharles]

Soooo... its D-day. Whats goin on?

[riceboy]

boys and girls.. I think we're gonna be ok.... just waiting for the last participant to the GB to confirm.

[ChinoCharles]

Sexy riceboy, thanks!

[Chris07LB]

:thumbup: :headbang: :clap: :thumbsup: :evil:

[eco]

Ok riceboy,let me know what email address you want me to send the payment to,Ive never used paypal to send a payment,Ive only used it threw ebay,which is pretty easy,I think all I need is your email you have associated with paypal,right.

[riceboy]

no prob eco.. I'll let you know as soon as it all closes...

A saint came from out of no where,thank you.

[riceboy]

Hey guys... final details to follow... just waiting to hear back on two more things....

[riceboy]

Alright here's the news that I promised.. I know that we had a hard time getting to 10pcs.. however MR says that if we can put together a 20pcs GB that we can lower our cost to $190 USD via PayPal or $210 CAD via Email Money Transfer. Remember pricing includes shipping direct to your door US/Canada. Each header comes with a no-hassle 1 year warranty.

We need a minimum order quantity of 20 pcs, and we'll extend the GB open until Monday November 20, 2006. If we don't hit 20 we're stuck at the original price, but I think that we can make it cheaper for all of us!!

Any additional import taxes, duties, and brokerage fees where applicable, are the responsibility of the buyer.

***Upon request parts can be marked as replacement***

Megan racing headers

- 4-1 (1 piece)

- Mandrel bent tubing

- CNC Machined Flanges.

- T-304 Stainless Steel with Polish finish

- Direct bolt on, gain more performance due to more air flow

- Projected 4-6 HP Gains

That, my friends, is amazing. Now I can spend all this money on other crap! I'M GOING TO AUTOZONE HAHAHAHA

[YamilR]

That's a great price...I'm going to give it some thought

[bigsky2]

Hmm...

[Teruyume]

it's really tamping me now ............... i have to seriously think about it.............

[dngz]

if the GB is extended till nov 20, will we still get the headers sometime in dec??

[riceboy]

The parts will still be shipped out and received anywhere between the 1st and 2nd week of December. We're just going to extend this GB so that we can hopefully get a nice price break.... c'mon Canadian buyers... what will be nicer pre-xmas? Tell the wife/gf/whoever the hell that you really, really, really want this!

[eTiMaGo]

Pretty tempted join in, but would shipping to this corner of the world be possible, and if so, for how much?

[Lowfront]

I'd love to get this. I should have some money together by the 20th. I really want to know what there going to be selling these for normally. Could you ask, that might get some more people motivated to buy them now.

[riceboy]

eTiMaGo - give me your shipping details and I'll find out what it'll look like for you.

Lowfront - no MSRP on these just yet.. but the guy at MR told me we're getting an excellent deal... oh and in case no one has told you.. that excellent deal will get a whole lot better if we can get 10 more on board!!

[eco]

$190.00,thats simply awsome,I'm telling you,those headers for a Yaris will be around $350.00-$375.00 MSRP when they first come out.GET ON BOARD WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

[Chris07LB]

For such a cheap price, I'd have thought we would have had 25 already!

[hasher22]

Well if i rake up the dosh before DEC as you guys said that it will get shipped on the 1st and 2nd week of DEC can i still get it :P ?

allwell

[riceboy]

will get additional shipping quotes for both Thailand & Australia...

[punch]

$190.00,thats simply awsome,I'm telling you,those headers for a Yaris will be around $350.00-$375.00 MSRP when they first come out.GET ON BOARD WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

i highly doubt your estimate, at the megan website i checked 5 differnet headers, and they were under $200..

[ChinoCharles]

The Honda Fit headers which just came out would be the applicable product to compare this one to, and they're $199. Shipping would be what, an extra $30? We're basically getting these for $160 + shipping at this point...

[Teruyume]

and i think those are in US dollars no ???

plus i don't think shipping is 30dollar..... it's way over that man

200+tax+shipping+converting to CA$

u probably looking at CA$330

[eco]

I know that MSRP I put down was just BS,I want that cheaper price,just trying to get more people aboard,but you would be paying more because the car is very popular,and the parts for these cars when they first come out will be expensive.But even at say $200.00,it will be around $330.00 after shipping,tax,etc....,If not more if the header is around $300.00,which is very possible like I said.

[riceboy]

ttt

[eco]

[hasher22]

Any news on aussie buyers ? :(

[riceboy]

Still waiting to hear back for oz and thailand... will get back to you once I know.... its the weekend though....

[eTiMaGo]

do you know the approximate weight of the unit? We can get an estimate from that :wink:

hey no sweat, it is a good deal!!!! , but if they ship via UPS us canuck's are screwed!!!..

I would buy them also, and I still might, but what do you people really expect to get from this car?? intake, headers,exhaust is maybe 10-12 hp gain; total! heck the superchargers are only adding 30-40 hp with the 3 mention add-ons...

also are these headers plug and play, or is the computer going to play havoc with them?

A brokerage fee is the fee charged for conducting a package through customs it shouldn't be charged if you're within the US.

Thailand & Australia.. you have PM...

[eco]

Ok punch,the goal is to have fun modding,and look at it this way with just the CAI,headers,and exhaust,lets say they add 20hp(very possible) to an engine thats only 106hp stock,thats almost a 20% gain,not shabby,then add in an intake manifold,mid pipe,and cat upgrade on the exhaust,maybe a cheap grounding kit,and a voltage stabilizer,and maybe your talking 22-25hp gain,add in some light weight rims,lower the car,and youve got a pretty good car,ya you put some money into it,and you coulda just bought a 140hp car,but now you are one of the few that have a tricked out 106hp 1nz-fe (in a Yaris),alot more fun,dont ya think.

I agree with the fun of modding and having that yaris with just a bit more HP then the others, but I doubt you'll ever see gains of 20hp with those three mods. Also anyone know what the tranny can handle?

[dngz]

20 seems so far away... anybody kno if xb/xa headers/intakes would fit?

[eco]

Actually we will still get them the 1st or 2nd week of December,or maybe thats when they ship,Im to lazy read,its in this thread some where,1st page prob.So the longer its extended,the better chance of hittin 20 for the group buy.
And I think that the position and the 1 pipe length would be diffrent,the cars are diffrent sizes.

[Chris07LB]

20 seems so far away... anybody kno if xb/xa headers/intakes would fit?

We are 8 away... and we got this far in only a matter of weeks. Not bad considering..

[riceboy]

We still have time.. the headers should be arriving by 1st/2nd week of December. Payments are all electronic, so provided that prompt payments are made after the GB ends... we'll have plenty of time... for those who are waiting for it to hit 20... better get on board soon.... I hope there aren't any people who end up not participating and end up regretting it later on...

8 more...

[ChinoCharles]

I know I've asked this 489395 times now, but I gotta know... its killin me...

[Chris07LB]

$2,280.00 is what they will have from us so far... even if we dont make 20, they should still give it to us.

Id like to see them bring in that amount in one day, on one order. Nice chunk of change, not to honor it if we dont make 20.

[riceboy]

I'm going to ask them about it once we get the final numbers... hopefully they agree... though it'd be nice to go back with numbers closer to 20. When I talked to them initially they were looking for 25..... anyhow we'll see what happens.

[CASTREX]

Have you seen the thread on the WR header dynoed tested???


http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2639


i duuno wht yyou think but it looks pretty good... (mmuuch better that the MR)

[eco]

This also has me concerned,MR says projected 4-6,when the WR headers look like atleast 14 extra ponys.I dont know what Im going to do,If MR increases there projection to 12-14,Ill stay onboard,but Im thinking hard about going with WR,maybe we could start a GB with them.I know we have all been waiting and trying real hard to get people on board,but the WR's look like they will produce twice as much HP as the MR headers,that a big diffrence,I think they might be worth the extra money.Any ideas on what we should do riceboy.I say contact MR and tell them the group could go some where else to get our headers,see what they say,tell them the 2 prices,and then tell them the HP diffrence.Maybe MR will knock off another $75.00

[ChinoCharles]

Nobody knows what the WR headers will cost yet in a GB format.

[YamilR]

Nobody knows what the WR headers will cost yet in a GB format.

They said $350, but will knock down the price for a GB. I dont know if $300 is reasonable since they basically double the HP that MR claims and notice that they said that they had a little fittment problem, so imagine with no exhaust leaks :drool:

[Chris07LB]

I was offered them for $275.

[Black Yaris]

you also read that header was not totally bolted up, so it was like running a partially un-capped header, so those are not very acurate #'s... I want to see #'s with header fully bolted up on the stock exaust

[YamilR]

I was offered them for $275.


Even better

[Black Yaris]

[eco]

Yes,if you have your bank account as a back-up wire transfer account.It will transfer it immediatly,and at no cost to you,I never keep money in paypal,It always getspaid threw my bank account,It will drain what ever money I have in there from a sale,then the rest from my bank.

[Black Yaris]

ok how much is the official amount with 14 ppl

[riceboy]

I've sent out an email for final confirmation.. I'm hoping that they'll swing the lower price... but we'll see what they say....

[riceboy]

Hey guys... I've cleared out PM's so mailbox is no longer full...

[riceboy]

Alright, I've got some great news!!!

Megan is going to honor the lower pricing eventhough we only managed to put together 14 buyers. The final payment will be $190 USD via PayPal or $210 CAD via Email Money Transfer. Please send to albert.wong@sympatico.ca as soon as possible. I will need to get your contact name, full address, and telephone number for shipping purposes. I've been advised that the shipment has been delayed by about 2 weeks, so we can expect the headers to arrive a couple weeks later than the initial promise date of the 1st or 2nd week of December. If you have any questions, please PM me.
