Thanks guys,
The web page is being setup so i can offer people "not in the area" the ability to still get my products, but you will just have to pay for shipping charges. Which sucks cause shipping on some things can get up there. My low prices should make up for some shipping costs?

Special thanks to these guys that have always told me to open up a shop since day 1.
Thanks for the compliment Jack.
Thanks for the complimentary pics Def , maybe will can combine forces some day!

wow, this is going to be awesome. I orignially was going to get DG to do my wiring but at the moment I am waiting on trading out my 2nd gen 3sgte for a 3rd gen 3sgte. Lemme know what your prices for wiring is DG once you get your shop ready. Is it still going to be the same or a little cheaper since you'll have readily supplies to do it?

Prices have not be set in stone yet! Here is an example though...

I make a (3" Downpipe Back Race Exhaust) for the 3s swapped celica. I make it using ....Laser cut flange, flex pipe, 2 v-band clamps(avoiding any gasket leaks), all mandrel bends, a canister/muffler of your choice!
Cost is $450
Just parts alone to build this exhaust cause right around $350. I make the exhaust by hand and it takes me a good 5 hours to build it.
I am making 20 bucks an hour to do this!
What other shop works for $20 an hour rate???

There is a pic on my profile of my original race design that i am changing to the design i did for defgeph. It is a more straight through design and will be eliminating the old setup. Def has already posted a few pics of the prototype design i made him with a muffler of his choice.

Congrats DG

Tina, you certainly speak the truth.

In defense of all the wonderful 6gc-specific geniouses here on the east coast, there are about a thousand more great shops out on the west coast that really know there stuff. Theres no comparing the car scene here in New Jersey to the one in SoCal....so thats our advantage.

Oh, and also....this is great news Dave. I'm glad to hear that you're now doing things on a larger scale. Us EC guys are really spoiled to have some serious talent around.

I hope i dont forget anything here....
1. I would love to combine forces with others some day,(we would be cornering the market and be able to charge whatever prices we want)
just kiddin...but yeah it is hard doing everything yourself and finding good help is not easy.
2. I am working on a price list and will post it asa i get it done.
3. I wish shipping was not so bad for you WC people and you non-US peole for big items. Smaller items are not bad though.
4. Yes, I do complete 3s swaps ....and any custom stuff you need!
5. Thanks everyone again for all your support!
6. Im 45 minutes south of Pittsburgh ( town called Charleroi 2 minutes right off I70)
Bonus:
I am always up for new ideas/challanges so if any of you guys have any product ideas that you want to run past me i could try to make even more products that you guys want! Pm me with those ideas so that topic does not take over the post.
