FWIW, the price paid for a car should have no dictation on the cost to 
manufacture a high quality part.  I get this all the time with 034efi, 

Potential Cheapass Audi Owner:
"You mean you want me to spend $1100 on a ECU, I only paid $250 for the whole 
car!!!! (Ghassssp!!!)"

Me:
"WTF???? (hand shaped gun to the temple, pull the trigger)"

Martin, maybe you could make a sliding pay scale based on what people have 
paid for their cars?  IOW, if you paid $1-$200, here is what the axles will cost 
you, $201-$500, etc.  Sort of like the US Tax system w/o all the loop holes.

Granted, if you got your car for free, then the CA's should be free too, that 
only makes natural sense.

Sigh...

Hi,

That's too bad... I paid $600 for mine... ;)

I think someone mentioned that number and I am using it as a base line... 
maybe they meant per car... oh well.
Obviously after I make the initial set, I'll be able to see the actual 
expense... not looking to make fortune.. just 10-15% above costs.
The current string of e-mails is designed to get input from you guys so 
please feel free to make a reasonable suggestion, on design and price.
Thanks 

Cheers
Martin
