It was just this side of 1k. But obviously there's a lot of extras that aren't necessary. Like the mirrored, anti fog, multi layer visor, that was $200 on its own. I got a bit carried away in the end, clicking 'add to cart' on most of the available accessories. :lol:

It's only the ML Blue. The place I ordered it from did me a package deal but they didn't have the iridium visor. And to be honest, its killing me. The fact that I forked out all that money and that I didn't get exactly what I want...first world problems. :whistling:

I went the KF3. I was very hesitant about ordering a helmet online, but after going to my local (2+ hours away) Revolution Racegear, I was able to try on the KF3 in two different sizes that they had in-store. I would recommend you do this, if possible, prior to ordering. Otherwise http://www.racedeal.com have an excellent returns policy with postage paid.

Haha. :ph34r: After going in to RRG and waving cash in their face, the deal that they were going to give me was more expensive than ordering it online elsewhere. It's not my fault they weren't competitively priced enough. And after taking to the guys at Racedeal.com at WTAC, they were very helpful and I was much happier to give them my hard earned.

I'm not a great believer of taking advantage of shopfront businesses to make online purchases.

If you are buying online you shouldn't be taking advantage of local businesses to use as a "fitting room" for your online purchase. They spent time with you, and yet you had no real intention of buying through them. They saw you as a potential customer, and treated you as such.

Imo, the savings from buying online, come with an element of risk; people want the prices, but none of the risk.

If I buy online, I do all my own research and if I get it wrong its on my own head, but if the saving is significant, it is worthwhile.

I don't believe you can have it both ways, but I guess its more of an ethical argument than anything.

I agree with you in part, but I did go in there with the intention of buying it. Thus, going in there with the cash. Hell, last time I was in there, I bought a pair of Willians harnesses. I have no qualms with RRG, they've been good in the past. However, the helmet I wanted wasn't in stock anyway, they only had flat black, w/o the hans posts. Being 2+ hours away, ment it was going to have to be ordered in and sent out anyway. I asked them if they were negotiable on price at all, and they barely budged. I said I would think about it over a coffee and it was only then that I looked up how much cheaper they were elsewhere.

Yep, fair call Tim. :thumbsup:

I'm amazed at the number of people who do it with no intention of buying.
They are also the first to complain when the local supplier isn't interested in helping when they have a warranty type issue.

Cheers, Dale

      As in they quoted one price, you mentioned the exhaust, and they promptly added $200 on top? Interesting.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Note that I'm not suggesting this is a great idea. Just saying that it is something that could be done to achieve a better outcome than the more shit ideas will provide.

      What's this Foreign Object?

      By luke gtr · Posted

      I'd try removing it, connecting hoses and see if that helps. Depending on specs, it could actually be restricting the flow(it also might be helping).

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, that's a hybrid BOV. The adjustable spring load ones are about making teh pressure build up higher before venting, so you get a more agressive whoosh. That is not what I meant or what you want. By "restricting", I don't mean "keep it closed until the pressure is higher, then open it fully". I mean "open it as soon as it is required, but only have a small port area, so that the flow rate out of it is slowed down". The pressure will rise to be higher than a bigger ported BOV would provide, but it would do while it is venting. The idea is to slow down the rate at which the replacement eair is flowing past the AFM, to reduce the magnitude of the air flow signal peak, to reduce the amount of fuel that is added per revolution.

      If you're dodgy you can try using a slightly finer grit (2-300) sandpaper on the belts ribs to remove the glaze from the pulleys.  Worse case scenario, you still need new belts and wasted an hour scuffing them up.   To confirm its the belts, if you have access to some, you can try dry lube. If they shut up for a minute or two, it's most probably as above.
