wow that went really smoothly,

i was secretly expecting delays and the like..

do you know if we got the orange or the black?

cheers

Karl

if you only knew what happened my end! some strongly worded but polite phone calls from me requesting updates, confirmation of fund transfer, shipment date - etc.

i've requested the black for everyone, if we get it then bonus - if not then it'll be the 'coby orange'. it just depends if they have any paint in stock.

i have called coby directly and asked them what paints they are using. they have told me that they ARE NOT using HIGH TEMPERATURE paint. the paint is merely for rust, storage and aesthetic reasons.

i personally advise everyone to strip the paint back and go over it with caliper/high temp spray cans or get them hp coated like i have. leaving the coby paint shouldn't do any harm either.

please be patient with christmas delivery. some of you guys might be lucky and get them early, some might get them in the new year.

regardless all buyers have always received them.

I wish i had mine today i was really hoping to get them :P . i really hope now there here wednesday beofre i go out of the counrty ;) so there black thats good to hear merry christmas everybody hope all goes well for everyone

hey got mine fitted today went on sweet took away alot of the rasp i used to get about 2500rpm-3000rpm.

just want to know hwat type of setup are people running on there car mine is just stock with the extractors my stock pipe is 2.5'' so i didnt have to change that

You will all have to tell me how your extractors go guys, mine are still sweet, glad i got HPC coating, just wondering i got a hi-flow cat on my system, do you think i would be losing any power considering its a 3" cat, he just downed it to my 2.5" system i got, would i have got any power increase at all?

Also gotta get it fixed, either the muffler or cat is rattling under there like a B&$%#. Does anyone notice a sucking noise from extractors, or air noise?

Also any difference in havin a resonator or muffler on your system, he put muffler on before the cannon, but last system i got on my old car he put a resonator, sorry im a noob

Anyone thinking of starting this group buy again? I need one :) its $345 to deliver without a group buy mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................
I'm in for sure if theres another group buy :down: , is there another group buy for these any time soon???
Yeah ill be in for another group buy?

PM me if we are starting again Eug

unfortunately there won't be another one without significant interest.

as much as i'd like to help you guys out again, i've run 4 of these buys already and each time it has been more money and effort on my part than anything. now that i'm an sauqld exec, moderator and in my final year of uni i have other obligations to fulfill.

if there are enough people to make it feasible then we shall see.

    • btw... here's a fun quote I got back in the day (using a NEO head and going shimless): a bit different initial requirement    
    • You can definitely do 450kW on the RB25 non-NEO head, plenty have. The $600 to $800 conversion will end up costing you much more I suspect, I believe you will require machining. NEO head has the lowest barrier to entry.   My 2c?  buy a BMW 😆
    • No more 90s JDMs for me, just want 4 door cars that won't attract cops. Wouldn't mind a Hako or a 240Z all motor but modernised (big comp, big cams, ABS, DBW, dis dat).
    • The reason I made this thread was to try to get some useful info as all of the older threads only have tidbits here and there, while I do appreciate banter and suggestions of shoe horning V8s into cars, for the sake of someone trying to make a decision on this topic - is the general consensus that you really don't need to convert to solid lifters unless you're chasing wild above average power and rpms? options -  Stick with hydro lifters possibly make 450kw at 7500rpms assuming all the right supporting mods for that goal Spend the $600-800 for the Solid lifters and find out how hard it is to set the clearances and what else needs replacing around them Neo head - possibly will cost more depending on the head prices at the time Throw away RB or buy a BMW 😆 There's a lot of the solid kits getting around from different manufacturers so someone must be doing the conversion
