Default Samco PVC System Rebuild Kit

Part # 10122198 from White Racing

Anyone tried these? Mine look bad, but wanted to here a good story before spending that much.
Thanks

Wouldnt't it be nice to see this piece and other available to Net Registry members? Things like....thermostat housing, PCV hose, crossover coolant tube, breather box hoses....can you guys name som eother hard to get/find parts that would be great to see for members?

It'd be great. Like the other guys I have a hard time paying $200 for what should be a $25-$50 part.
I do realize that having something made in the aftermarket is pricey, but honestly, $500+ for a used thermostat housing, $450 for a water pump, $200 for a hose, $350+ for spark plug wires?
Are we crazy?
Supply and demand sucks.

Some are in it for the passion and the hobby, some in it for the money.
Everyone has the right to ask their price though....

If I had to pay $500 for a small used part Id fire sale the car just to avoid having to get cornholed to get a lousy part. If I have to feel lousy about buying a part I dont want to own that car anymore

Maybe the day of repop stuff will come for the Z. (have my doubts though)
Projected sale/profit vs. cost of mfg. . Doesnt look like it has worked out for one person in particular who has tried it.
Sure would be nice.

Back in the day it was stupid high pricing for junk musclecar parts, now you can flip open a catalog and order literally anything and its pretty reasonable, keeps the hobby fun.
