ARC (Abbey Road Company) Goodies When?

First off let me start by thanking @shawrf1 for the great pictures. Here is his facebook page for his photography.
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...9208313&type=3

Im wondering when will these products will be available from ARC specially the intake box. Maybe @BPAuto or @Evasive Motorsports can chime in. Ive been waiting on a sweet intake for so long i just hope ARC keeps this below $1000.

Im wondering what that little box beside the intake is? Some sort of radiator cooling reservoir?

Love, love, love ARC stuff. Hate the price tag associated. I was one of the lucky few to get the front mount intetercooler kit for the GD STi when it first came out. It was a huge discount.
Most paid twice as much as me shortly there after. They went or almost went bankrupt last year and somehow managed to come back.

I can't seem to locate there webpage now. It used to be arcinter something or other.

I just noticed that super trick water-cooled oil cooler/relocator kit. Droool.

I wish they stayed with the green silicone connectors though. Theyre part of mackin industries so their website should be this

Looks like the re-routed Oil filter mount at the rear of the motor has allowed for the oil lines to run thru what seems a water to air oil cooler, trick piece of engineering

ARC was bankrupt, but has reformed as ARC Brazing.

You been in the tuning game for so long, you have to know these products really don't increase power much. Cool looking regardless.

I'm usually not a fan of the stuff since the cost is very high for what you get, but I will also say the air/water oil cooler is pretty cool. I can only imagine however what they are going to charge for that...
