ok so I thought i got my kit for a great price $4240. But Vortech is trying to blowout some kits right now because the price tag is going up in 2005!!!

Avalon Racing is selling satin kits for 4071 shipped! and the polished for 4310 shipped! WOW! I just wanted to let As many people know about this great deal while its going on, because I know alot of people find out too late! Your order has to be before Dec.15 and these are kits that are being made as we speak!

I know I was excited about getting my Vortech for the price I got, ( I was only a few days short! ) so I just wanted to make sure those interested knew about this deal before it was gone! I know how much it sucks to know you are buying something the day after the sale is over and it goes up a few hundred dollars! In this case, more cause the price is changing!

Avalon Racing is a vendor on the site and that is his name on the board.

BTW! MY VORTECH IS IN THE GARAGE! I CANT WAIT TO PUT IT ON!!!

 

Yeah, i saw his post about the prices going up which sucks. I was planning on buying one in the spring cause i just bought wheels. Hopefully it doesn't go up too much. Look forward to seeing what you think or yours and what all you got with it and how you dyno

 

It sounds like Vortech is building their own coffin if they are going to raise prices...would you pay more for a Vortech than a Turbonetics or APS single turbo system....no, me neither!

 

Thanks for the heads up cas 2102.. Any present 350z Vortech owners think this S/C is not the way to go. Any really bad experiences/advice would be appreciated..Thanks

 

With intercooler?

 

cat2102, what was your decision on installing. Needs to be on your "Z", not the garage floor. I am sure you got some GOOD advice from your "twin sister" Christi.

 

Good luck on the install cat2102 .Bet your getting antsy !!!

 

comes with intercooler, abd BOV, etc...

I want to install it myself, with some firends help, but it will have to be after finals, so sometime during the christmas holliday! I am ready to boost though!!

 

Hey Cat where did you pick up your SC? thanx for the post, I'm getting my checkbook out.

just in case I miss it, still looking for the best price.
Thx

Next to Cat Avalon Racing is the best! Goodluck with your install babe. Can't wait to hear how happy your gunna be with it.

 

kitty lover!

SIX I got my kit from Avalon as well. Tell him I sent ya! BTW, this IS the cheapest you will find this kit for from an AUTHORIZED dealer, make sure you by from an AUTHORZED dealer, or your warrranty is no good, and if you are missing parts in the kit they will not give them to you....

 

did I mention after you purchase the kit for the amount above, you also get a 100 mail in rebate from vortech!

 

Hey Cat,
Be sure and take alot of pics of your install.
Id like to see how it goes.

Thanks

 

does anyone know how much the kits will be going up to in jan.?

 

Avalon Racing posted 5-7%. Orders must be in by December 15th.

 

This price increase is not isolated to the automotive industry . . . its affecting the coatings industry from two fronts: oil and steel. Oil for the petroleum based coatings and steel for the containers that house them . . . 2005 doesn't look good for being a buyers market, especially with the explosive growth of new factories in China. A lot of the resources are being sent there and they're willing to pay much more than the US counterparts.

That was your International Economics tidbit of the day

Thanks 350G, that is what we are dealing with in a nutshell. Aluminum and steel are way up and we haven't raised in two years. We have to do it.

 

Well, the price of oil is still higher than last year, but it's trending down. Steel prices are expected to increase. Another factor coming to play now is the lower value of the US dollar against foreign currency. A lower dollar makes all import goods more expensive, whether they include oil and/or steel components or not.

 

Cat come into New Mexico and let us do the dirty work for you.

 

Yeah, a weaker dollar makes our traditional suppliers want to export products so that they can wreap the benefit of a stronger foreign currency. My company, Sherwin-Williams--the largest NA manufacturer of coatings, used to be able to dictate what price we paid for our raw materials, but now, the suppliers are saying "buy less from us, so we can export." In addition, the costs are going up and no one will write a quote beyond 90 days, unlike our annual quotes we used to get.

Needless to say, the steel industry and every company directly / indirectly linked to it, will experience a volatile, inflated market.

This cost increase will not just affect Vortech . . . I'll be surprised to see if APS doesn't hike its prices dramatically should the USD continue to fall in value.
