Hi all I was wondering if you guys could give advice on a price I've been given for a full east bear kit.

$3150 is the price.

This includes the full body kit, sides, front and rear also the carbon fibre with the reverse scoop. Price also includes international postage.

Also note the kit is not painted yet.

Thanks for your input.

Liam

So what do you all think?

That's very cheap and I somehow doubt it is a genuine east bear kit as the font section alone will usually coat you about that shipped and the whole kit is usually about 5k.. But you never know it may be legit and you might be really lucky but all I know is that if you get it you will make a lot of people jealous, me included as I can only wish I had the money for the east bear kit :-)

Gimps, I'm glad someone else on here finds this kind of odd.. And friend in japan ey.. So if anyone else is interested in getting it at this price, is that something that you can organise :-)

And yes it is a very good price

I think it's all legit. Well anyways Im most likely to go ahead with it and see how it goes.

I might be able to get them cheaper if I dig into my savings and do a bulk buy (after I recieve the first kit) and redistribute them around Aus for a reasonable price. Do you think there would be much interest?

Cheers :thumbsup:

Yes I can tell you that there would be a big intrest as I tried to organise a group buy ages ago for the east bear kit and a lot of people wanted in but when the found out the price then people were a bit hesitant so If your offering the same goods cheaper the. I would say you will get quite a few people on board. Me included :-)

I have allready puchased a rear bar and side skirts + underlay parts from powerplay imports, cost me roughly 2200 including shipping. im guessing front end would cost me 3-4 grand from PPI.

soooooo If your kit is a genuine kit post it up and I will be more than keen for a front end conversion kit.

Well I was sourcing directly from east bear in japan. Pm me ur email and I will email you re quotes I got at the time. Remember the price varies depending on the exchange rate. Also the thing with buyin from powerplay is that obviously they are trying to make a profit so you will be paying more, I remember when I first started looking into the east bear kit the quoted me 8000 and that's why I ended up looking into it myself and found out I could get price down by about 2-3k depending on the exchange rate and shipping deals that could be had at the time as I know fedex japan has international shipping deals from time to time.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
