The prices that flyn.com.au quote are usually more expensive than what he actually charges.

He sells stuff on ebay and if you search around you can usually find his stuff.

Then email him and you can pretty much get the item you want a the starting price and then pick it up from him.

Good reliable guy :(

I spoke to him yesterday, ive ordered mine, apparently his got new pipes where  you dont have to cut your fan blades as the Hybrid kits do.

SERIOUS!

SWEEET!!

The only other thing they need to fix now is the vacuum line attachment to the first piping section. Theres nothing to attach it there. We had to drill a hole and fabricate our own little thing to put the hose onto it

Did you ask about this?

We've ordered from flyn before, no problems at all.

Fitted the kit ourselfves in a few hours, not hard. Besides the stuffing around fabrication bit

Hi guys,

Here at; theintercoolerguy, we have been developing our own line of intercooler kits for the past 24 months, and after much R & D we are proud to announce that 'ICG' has arrived on the performance parts scene.

The ICG line of intercooler kits are the most technologically advanced intercooler bolt on kits available on the market today!

The basis upon which the kits are designed rest upon "Minimilism". Our kits are designed to bolt straight in with minimal modification.

ICG intercooler kits are fully engineered and consist of CNC mandrel bent alloy. Unlike many of our competitors, ICG kits feature PROFESSIONALLY POLISHED pipes, polished right here in Sydney by ULTIMATE SHINE. The advantages of polishing over the conventional method of 'Chroming' are ten fold:

*Polished pipes do not flake like chromed pipes, which leads to metal flakes being sucked into the intake pipes.

*Chromed pipes, once scratched must be re-chromed. The issue regarding this is as follows: 1. Chroming pipes is very expensive, especially re-chroming as the pipe must first be stripped back to bare metal. 2. There are virtually no companies in Australia that chrome alloy pipes.

*Polished pipes, once scratched, can simply be re-polished by "you" simply by purchasing a tube of polished cream and applying some elbow grease.

*NOTE: All ICG intercooler kits arrive with a FREE tube of polishing cream.

All ICG kits feature a 38mm attachment for a blow off valve (BOV). This will save you literally hundreds when wanting to modify your pipes to accomodate a 'BOV'

Furthermore, ICG kits for the R32/R33/R34 feature a vacuum line attachment. This is something missing from almost all intercooler kits available on the market.

ICG kits also do not require trimming of the fan blade like most of our competitors.

Kits consist of:

*Professionally polished pipes

*Stainless steel t-bolt hose clamps

*Blue 3-ply silicon hoses

*800x300x76 polished bar and plate intercooler (not hybrid)

*Fitting instructions

*Brackets and require fitting components

*FREE GFB single stage boost controller

and for an extra $100 Autometer Sport-comp 30psi 2 5/8 boost guage.

As our website is currently down due to upgrades, we may be contacted on 0413 971 347.

For all Sydney Residents we have just opened up our workshop and our showroom will be open to the public on the 8th of March 2004, with the Melbourne workshop opening in late May 2004 and Gold Coast to follow.

Hi guys,

i will post some pics to the general public after we have patented all our designs..at the present time we only offer pictures to our customers..

the intercoolers are the same intercoolers that hybrid use in their kits, however, it must be stressed that they are NOT HYBRID INTERCOOLERS, Hybrid do not make them as they claim..they only stamp the top plate with their name..this is a factual statement.

Yeah id like to get hold of him to his got my turbo and i has moved address and had the number i had for him disconnected so any info so i can find him would be helpfull his only had it two months and i need it to get my car going

We are customers,

What cars did you do extensive testing of your intercooler kits on?

Yeah id like to get hold of him to his got my turbo and i has moved address and had the number i had for him disconnected so any info so i can find him would be helpfull his only had it two months and i need it to get my car going

intergoolerguy above posted you can call 0413 971 347

Legend01,

Hi Peter, how you been?

i just spoke to your son and organised pick up of the turbo from the workshop, its been sitting on the bench finished for quite a while now..

As for pictures...pictures will be posted in the nex few days, in the mean time we are registered dealers of the FORCE R33 kits, these kits retai for $1760 or $1920 fitted, drive in and out in under 3 hours..

Im still a little unconvinced, i mean your charging the same amount as HKS and TRUST ICs from Japan  

I love to support aussie companies, but in the end, it comes down to how well it works not who makes it

If you are refering to the price of the FORCE R33 kits, please note that they are far more comprehensive than the kits offered by Japanese manufacturers. We replace the cast pipe entering the throttle body, the pipe exiting the turbo, and the rubber tube entering the turbo. We have decided to go with this design as we feel it offers the shortest possible pipe length and the best bonnet clearance of any other kit design. Replacing the rubber intake tube also eliminates the problem of the tube collapsing, often experienced at higher power levels. (not forgetting the fact that it flows better and of course looks better!)

Also, we build the intercoolers ourselves using cores built to our specifications. They feature true offset internal fins for maximum cooling efficiency. This is the same style of inner fin as used by the majority of Japanese manufacturers, except our cores are 73mm thick, as opposed to 60-65 for the Japanese equivalent.

Also note that one well respected Japanese manufacturer only uses this fin design on their high-end kits. Their standard kits use a less efficient and cheaper extruded inner tube.

Our end tanks are formed from 2mm sheet aluminium and feature a stamped radius at the tube connection. This results in a very light weight intercooler, with excellent flow charactoristics.

I am a huge fan of Japanese products myself, but I suggest you look more closely at the product than the name. I feel that in this case at least, you will find the Australian product to be of very high quality and excellent value.

One other thing that is worth noting, is that in America, if you own a WRX and want an Intercooler the firs choice is either APS or TurboXS/Hyperflow. If you haven't got the money, the next choice is the Japanese kits.......

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
