the ones from flying performance are the only authorised ebay ones.

oh and for the ppl who say copy's are crap, depends on which one you get, mine has a hybrid core, just doesn't have as nice a finish or welds on the end tanks.. my mates relatively stock VL ran a 12 with one of these

look for the hybrid logo embossed in the top, this one does

Yeah i can see that but its not hard to punch in a logo and pass something off for what its not. Thats just seems a little cheap to me thats all. I know you have to factor in piping and attachments and fitting but all that considered it would still only be about $500 or so for a cooler that size.

How do you know that these are the only authorised ebay ones? because they say so? doesnt seem to be any proof of this on there listings?

Any one know the difference between drift spec and GT spec? are the GT spec tube and fin or Bar and plate?

thnx.

Yeah i was thinking the same thing myself as i have seen 2 stores/people stating that they are the only authorised dealers on Ebay/internet.

Wouldn't mind know myself as i am after a good FMIC and the Hybrid kits look pretty good for the $$$'s

so whats better - tube and fin or bar and plate??

Tube & fin flow better (due to core construction), but don't cool as well as bar & plate. If you have mild mods then a bar & plate would be best, if you have a highly modified car then tube & fin.

Most stock coolers are tube & fin because they have less restriction, but the manufacturers disregard the temp of air going through.

There was another thread on this matter only last week in forced induction section.

SydneyKid said there is bugger all difference in the big name coolers and you may as well buy something like a hybrid and save some cash toward something else like a powerfc.

hybrid are great i got one and it works brilliant it gets very close too ambient temps, i bought mine from flyen performance they sent it quick and have been really good with my questions.

and yes people are copying hybrid pressings and HKS as well, there was a commo owner on boostcruising that said he bought genuine HKS cooler from ebay it had the pressing but it was a hybrid copy for sure , i feel bad for him cos the copies without the HKS pressing were 300 less :P

OWNED...

That sucks, there are a couple of peeps that i would and have bought auto gear off Ebay but there are some scammers out there. Makes it very hard for the others doing the right thing as well :bs!:

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility

      I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
