SUPRALOOPY Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 did you get your lights sorted?? or am i thinking of someone else? basildon meet (dash lights) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I just bought one thinking it was genuine, have i been done??? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8074539213&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 Saw it with only a couple of minutes left and didnt read it through.

MR.B Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 It say HKS 'style' blow off valve so chances are it won't be genuine. Also highly unlikely at that price either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yeah I should of realised, as Ferdinand would say "you've been murked". It didnt say in the title and I didnt read the article properly. I wonder if it will sell on for much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I got one for when I go NA-T it looks ok comes with the flange and everything to weld onto the IC pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourniquet Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yeah got the dash sorted Loopy, turned out to be just the fuse so didn't bother pulling the switch out once it worked again. I got the e-bay jobbie coz for £16 I didn't care if it wasn't as good I thought I'd test it on the off chance. Seems fine though, I just wondered where you lot stuck it and if you needed any extra bits as I don't see how the C-clip provided helps. Universal means fits fuck all to me so was just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sounds tacky to me "HKS style", how much* did you pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 The c clip is an absolute cnut to fit but everything is there to do the job i welded mine to the front mount intercooler Pipe work i have installed, if i have any probs with it i still have the flange there then i can replace it with a genuine HKS valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Sounds tacky to me "HKS style", how much* did you pay? You'd go down well on Supraforums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I understand these will be ok at low boost (not all that is cheap is rubbish) but how do they fair at 1.4, 1.6 etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with the cash to go to 1.6 bar, has the cash for an original. So i'll doubt you'll find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Does that mean they don't work up to 1.6bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 No, but if you had £3k to throw at a single, would you skimp on the £200 for a HKS, compared to a "HKS Style"? It may well be equally as good as an HKS version, I'm just saying that I doubt anyone with the ability to run 1.6 would have one on to test it.

GeordieSteve Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I just don't agree that if you have money to spend you have to throw it at the most expensive parts if others will work just as well. Obviously I'd need to know if they DO actually work first lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
