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!:

      I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet

      Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.

      No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.

      I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
