Guess how much for this part from Subaru UK?
Lets see how well you know the price of spares for our beloved Scoobs.
Im doing a bit of prototype work with Spec R on my MY03 STi and needed to get my hands on an induction tube from a dealer. Its the large plastic rectangular shaped tube which goes from the front of the car (under the bonnet obviously
) to the left and is the cold air feed for the cars filter.
Part is around 1 1/2 foot long I guess and reasonably complicated ,,,,
Go on then have a guess how much they want for it ????

You see I was wearing Rose tinted glasses when I had my guess
So we are talking highly over inflated price for this piece of injection moulded plastic
or "here come them glasses again" could it be so stupidly cheap no one would ever get it

Nearly time to get ready to go out and drink copius amounts of strong lager so I will tell ya .....
£25 including VAT ........ I couldnt believe it .... even the parts guy was amazed as well, he double checked it TWICE he was so suprised .... Though I had better order one at that price haha....Didnt bother telling him it was so it can be copied and made from Ally and maybe Ally and Carbon

I find the dealers price is either low or high, no real middle ground. For small littel bits they seem cheaper tham most specialist trying to sell OEM stuff. E.g oil filters and sump plug washers are by far cheaper at the dealers (OEM stuff) than all other specialists i've tried. Other bits like power steering seals etc i found were 50% cheaper than Graham Goode.
