Apex'i RSM - ?

[summoner]

Been Quoted $440 for an Apex'i RSM from Formaz(cheaper than xspeed $500+

I intend to install it in my ute mostly for the fact i'll get aspeed reading over 255kmh.. i know it also shows RPM. but what other features does it have? i've heard various things like air fuel ratio etc as well.. but i'd like other peoples views on this..

also.. is the price right or are there cheaper 1's available through other suppliers?

i could get one from back home for about 300 bucks australian but sorry i can't bring one in for you. just thought id let you guys know how inflated the prices are here!

[25GTT]

go to www.takakaira.com

These guys are Japanese perfromance parts exporters.

I order my Apex SAFC delviered to my door 7 working days for $550 better than paying $770 through local shops here in perth,

I just looked up your RSM and comes to $340 add approx $40 for UPS freight so $380 all up NOT BAD AT ALL! saving of $60 which is prob how much it would cost to install! so really a free install for what you have been quoted locally!

*insert derogatory "trev" comment here*

Pfft... I'd like to see a ute hold the road at 255km/h+ !!!!

[summoner]

ok done. i'll take you for a drive in it then.. I've done several speed runs in the ute exceeding 255kmh(i know this as the speedo stops at this point but rpms keep climbing)

[ix9]

On a private road right ?

The aftermath of the high-speed crash...

me: doc, how are my legs?

Doctor: your legs are being express-posted to us from the vicinity of the accident (read: legs thrown 50k's up the road)

me: *beeeeeeeep* *flatline heart monitor*

urrr. i'll pass.. your on your own with that speed...

[summoner]

also strich, i'm guessing u know Mark Rice and Franz.. ask them.. i a flyby on them via emergency lane during a run

[summoner]

On my own? but u said u'd like to see the ute hold the road at that speed.. come on i can show you its fun and very stable

Oh, a "flyby" on the EMERGENCY lane on the freeway, during a run/cruise right ?

that's responsible. considering I got BANNED from the midnightcruise eGroup for MUCH LESS than that.... hmpf.

I'll stand behind a 1m thick concrete barrier, on the side of a road then while you "fly by" shall i?

I'd like to SEE it, not experience it

A photo of ur speedo would be cool tho (not encouraging speeding btw)

[summoner]

actually it wasnt a midnight cruise was after another cruise and they were heading home roads were empty id wind it out, overtook them and kept going, did the run 4 times that night was good, passenger enjoyed it to, the cars dead stable, seems the areodynamics arent that shabby on them and the suspension is setup nicely. Its not something i recommend everyone to try and do tho

TSK TSK TSK Summoner. After those words of wisdom you gave us a couple of weeks ago about hoons on the news that time thrashing it up Leach Hwy and after you convinced me that you were a good boy and all of those people were controlled and only a few idiots do stuff like that in public areas....:confused:

Were you in one of those cars that night that was shown on the news??

Sorry dude had to stir you up...:uh-huh:

Anywayz i'm not one to talk i think a lot of us have broken the law whilst driving then again doing 250km/h down the emergency lane isn't in my list of law breaking as yet.

Oh by the way dude another website is Nengun! same thing as Taka Kaira but i don't have the address ...oh here it is:

www.nengun.siteblast.com check it out aswell...quite good i have heard, haven't used him 1st hand though.

[summoner]

time and place, those on the news were doing it during times when there were other cars on the road. I did my runs at a late enough time (approx 2am) where only other cars on road were people from a cruise, and even then only saw 2 at the time.

As i said i don't condone such driving, but i am interested to see how quick she goes. As for the thursday night thing, no i wasn't there that night, had a business dinner to attend but i can usually be found there still, cops have done sfa really we just get less dickheads now.

[25GTT]

So after the big fuss the news made about it, it looks as though things came out better for you guys in the end! Good to hear

The less D*ckheads the better when it comes to things like that. Do cops ever try to break things up in the car parks when everyone is meeting? I wouldn't mind coming down one night and checking out the cars!

I think i saw your car at the rollaboyz dyno day aswell.. 350 Rwhp wasn't bad (is that the correct figure?)i think you were speakin to my bro Matt a couple of times..

[summoner]

Matt Webbs ya bro?

Yeh i was at the dyno day.. the dyno at myaree reads high(hence rb like it).. Yeh cops ahve tried from time to time, blocked of the ends in a "random" inspection, told everyone to piss off otherwise they'd fine them etc. Its all fun, we see it more as a joke and go there have some fun, then amongst ourselves organise a bit of after meet activities

Mark , Nenguns cool, completely trustworthy but with the amount of emails, a bit slow.

He is an ex W Aussie living in Japan and his Dad lives in Nth Beach. Bought a bit off him with no probs.

BTW , what speed did the Porker do on the Katrine sprint.

We saw 7200 rpm in 4th ( dunno what speed but the needle was well off the clock )and My nav was driving that stage.

Bugger , knew I should have swapped over earlier.

Ken

[summoner]

we did about 220 i think on that stage, i just looked forward and at the road seeing this cornernig approaching us(i do recall dad shifting into 5th tho). Your Zed is beautiful, probably 1 of the nicest imports i have seen ever. Not to mention you great driving style, at burswood that was amazing ass out around most corners..

i'll have a look at that nengun site thanks should be good. Are there any sites in english that state all the features that the RSM does?

[summoner]

Also for those wondering what Ken and I are on about:

Yes I will vouch for Nengun he is completely trustworthy. I bought a few things off him like safc and exhaust.

Be warned a fair few emails go unanswered.
