i'm not quite sure what you are on about Sean.

it's just a standard (if you can say that) high temperature corrosion barrier.

why would you coat the header internally? no one does that as far as i know - nor is there any real beneficial reason to.

hpc coating is generally used as a thermal barrier - so yes it will provide some heat protection similar to that of heat wrap.

changing the outlet should not incur any extra cost, i have asked and here is what i recieved:

Hi Eugene

All good there. I'm sure that the cutting back won't incur any costs. Mark is pretty good with that kind of thing.

[Sean'O]

Hey,

Have a look at this web site, this bloke has talked me into not getting the heat wrap,

Particurally the last "IN CLOSING" section where he states

"If you want a true thermal barrier that will reduce thermal loss in the header, reduce under hood temperatures, and make a few horsepower in the process, have your headers coated by one of the many companies available (links to a few are above). Most all of the coating companies offer inside and outside complete coating as standard. DO NOT allow your headers to only be coated on the outside, this is not a complete or quality process"

Just wanted your opinion on this,

[Eug]

while i dont claim to be an expert on headers - i think your looking into it way too much. we aren't extracting every last kilowatt here.

the entire reason why i enquired about the hpc coating was due to the heat made by headers as greg pointed out.

by all means if you want you can just purchase the headers themselves and get it hpc at a company you prefer - i'm just merely passing on an offer made available to us.

[Sean'O]

Hey,

Sorry if that came out wrong, I appreciate it very much that you are organising this group by and i'm no expert either so I appolagise if I asked a little too much.

I didn't mean to come across as critical about every kw, i'm just concerned (as everyone one would be) that this is a fair amount of money we are spending and just want to know what we are getting so there are no supprises later.

Thanks again for going to all this trouble 4 us,

Regards,

Sean'O

[Eug]

that's fine dude - ultimately its your money and you have a right to know what you're paying for.

i have emailed partsco and asked them anyway - so i'll get back to you with whatever they say. as i said - if you want to be sure, then i suggest getting them hpc coated with someone you know. at $170 its dirt cheap, so personally i am not fussed.

[Sean'O]

Thanks heaps for that,

Yeah true $170 will be hard to pass up regardless of the outcome

Thanks mate,

Regards,

Sean'O

[Eug]

macca_r33, whitezuluR32, Sean'O ????

lots of yes, but no follow ups... whats the go?

nick jeremy and myself are waiting to go ahead with this

[Sean'O]

Gday,

Yep I have all my money ready to go but I was holding out to see what’s happening with the HPC, any response from them?

I'll just get the HPC and hope it works out ok, there is no way I’m forking out $350+ in Aus for the stuff ,

So I’m in for the extractors w/ 2.25" outlet, gasket, economy, HPC

Jezz I hope the other guys know the date is coming up fast,

ohh and what’s the deal with payment and stuff?

Regards Sean'O

(...........well that makes 4 woot :sorcerer:)

[Eug]

cool stuff Sean'O

ok guys. HPC coating was orignally just on the outside.

but i have sweetened it to get done both inside and outside and in silver for the agreed price

Sean'O if you are in, that makes 4 and we are good to go

Hi Eugene

Sorry for the delay - bloomin' computers!!

Since you guys are buying bulk, I will have the headers done in HPC coating internally and externally and is in silver for the agreed price.

Hope this suits everyone.

Charlie

in regards to payment:

- check first post for your total, make sure everything you ask for is correct and the total adds up accordingly

- confirm in pm with me if you wish

- i will pm each of you with my bank details to deposit and please include your forum nickname

- pm me back the reference number as well as your desired delivery address

- i will pay all the fees associated with international transfers (since i was going to buy them anyway)

- then i will just make 1 large payment as opposed to doing 4-5 seperate ones.

- then we wait.

[Traditimeour]

Hey Eug,

If that's the case with the coating then i'll get it coated to.

Hey Eug,

If that's the case with the coating then i'll get it coated to.

no worries jeremy.. 1st post ammended.

i'd like everyone to check if everything i have stated in the first post is correct.

ultimately we'd like to get everything done, so it can be in oz in time for christmas - otherwise we'd be looking at a january/february 2007 delivery because of christmas - cos of their holiday.

just a heads up to those involved.

[Sean'O]

Dude you rock!!!!!

yeah i knew there may have been a bit of "cost cutting" for $170, thats why i was a bit , ohh well we all get a better deal now eh ,

This is going to be the best christmas ever! lol

ok dude.

[Traditimeour]

Hey Eug, is there a warranty on these?

[Reggi34dr]

good question...

[Eug]

alright guys,

i've sent off another email. if you can please ask these questions much earlier - as its difficult to correspond with them in multiple emails.

please check their terms and conditions on their site:

http://www.partsco.com/partsco-hibernate/legal/terms.jsp

i will be collecting payment now, please check your PM inboxes.

[Sean'O]

Hmmm,

"Orders will be sent to the delivery address that you provide us with. We cannot be held responsible if this delivery address is incorrect"

lol, no pressure Eug but I’m going to double check you have my correct address in my pm

"Once the goods have been received by you, all risk of damage to, or loss of, the goods shall pass to you"

Well that sounds pretty reasonable really, its the same with every other product because all they are doing is selling it, so why should they be responsible if the product is dodgy eg: like a TV that doesn't turn on. I would assume that they do have a manufactures warranty by Coby however (just a guess but generally if you find something wrong with a product before you even use it, it can be returned), even though getting it back and replaced will be a bast*d

As long as we follow the "instructions" for care and proper use etc, i don't think we wouldn't even need a "XXXX km's" warranty, hell the Coby warranty will probably be in the box with the instructions :wishful thinking:

It’s all good,

Sean'O
