For those of you new to modding or may not know much about small cars haha Garm (owner of Micro Image) has himself a 330+ WHP turbo yaris and does alot of his own custom work. he has recently completed a intake manifold for the yaris. I asked him if he would be interested in making one for the Versa and this is what he had to say : "The Yaris intake manifold is going to run $695 and up (polish/powdercoat/custom options). Do we have 5 people for sure at that price range? Are they "interested" or ready to put a $50 non-refundable deposit?"
you may think this is a steep price but when it comes to new cars or ones with low aftermarket support this is expected. I know i am willing to drop the money for this and im sure this will help bring out more potential for the versa to be a better car. so basically we need people to be willing to drop $50 to get this project rolling, i will provide the stock one for him to use as a template. This will not be like the dynatek one back in 2008 that was never put out, he will produce as long as we have willing participants.

Count me in. I want to start being more proactive in the forums. Also, would love to see the aftermarket grow.

If we could negotiate a lower price I might be incline to join in. Also will the non-refundable 50 bucks count towards final payment or is that aside from final price?

the more we get for the initial buy in it should lower the price, its all about demand

emailed him last night and got a reply this morning
"I'm glad there seems to be good interest. We've gone this far without me seeing a manifold, of course.
Next step before taking people's money is to get one here that I can study and decide that the project is viable.
Garm"
getting paid tomorrow and then having one shipped to him, will keep you guys updated
