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!:

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
