  1. ps he does have a Porsche for real! pics to prove it into the gallery! (Z Fest folder!)
  2. I think that is a trifle unfair if I may say - I believe Bap had done some 18,000 miles on his S/C before selling it (with no issues). Stephen has done some extensive changes over a typical install - he has the kinetix polished intake (which is notoriously difficult to tune) and he has had it tuned so it is not stock. Mine has done only 1,500 miles and is standard as far as can be standard why taking it personally? That is my opinion on used stuff, especially when your engine's life depends on it really Not implying anything on what you are selling, but I am still entitled to voice my opinion, as you are to plug your item for sale?
  3. I think the 'ring is used due to the fact that it puts alot of stress on an engine and its internals. Climbing over 1000 feet and havein corners that are on 1:6 gradients all helps. Its not very race circuit like for a racetrack. More like a Welsh A road But what about a fast run, then stuck in traffic for 1/2 hour etc, followed by a fast run or repeated on/offs/town running- testing there has its place as I say but it ain't the whole deal surely in track conditions the stress will be way higher than stop-start testing? Plus if they are legally homologated, I'd say fairly safely that they won't have issues in day to day driving.
  4. fair comment, all I'll say is that with certain items, extra care should be taken when buying second hand. I mean we are talking about something that has the potential to blow up your engine Although in fairness StephenG did buy Bap's second hand Vortech and all is well?
  5. I wish, wedding comes first I'm afraid
  6. about superchargers more like... now step away from the keyboard...
  7. Yup I have seen it there on a couple of occasions, goes like a rocket compared to standard car. Ill post pics when I find em did you have a close up nose at the car? was it a customer's ? were they satisfied with it? etc etc. Info please if you have any
  8. I think my first post above is well-balanced and pretty much represents all the research I have done over the past 18 months. All it doesn't say is that its not a twin-turbo in terms of power come on I've aready acknowledged that a couple of posts up
  9. best topic? Bridgestone's fishtailing experince without a shadow of a doubt welcome back btw, you missed quite a few juicy bits going on, without mentioning the great Sunday we had @ Blidworth at the Z Fest!
  10. Originally yes, but see Andy's post above (unless he has altered it ) but he was just commenting on you plugging yours
  11. yeah but he keeps raving about it. Although I just noticed Dorian's post did mention other options, so fair play to him. I'm just very intrigued by this Swiss offer, that's all
  12. exaclty stop plugging your kit for sale, this ain't the right place, the guy asked for opinions on superchargers, not asked about YOUR for sale one
  13. yeah but yours is a used kit and prone to explonding soon just kidding
  14. ah true it's about a 15 hrs install isn't it
  15. still though... £6500 for an installed homologated item surely is in the ballpark of a Vortech + other essentials needed and installed in the UK? (ok not taking into consideration travel costs) £3-3.5K for a new polished Vortech. + oil pan + Gauges whate else? + Uk install, how much £1,5-2k?
  16. for the 380hp wasn't it €6500??? and €12k for the 450hp package. Quite a big difference... but it should be noted that since you won't do much with their warranty, I'm sure you could work out a deal with them if you can negotiate a bit... no it's £££ not € you were right
  17. care to do a DIY post on this? It'd surely be helpful for all those people outside warranty...
  18. great numbers too, and performing parts from Maserati
  19. good to know some formal certification is sought for these types of businesses!
  20. I think the Novidem would be a VERY safe bet, they have to homologate them to sell them In Switzerland and Germany and laws are very strict there. Will be bombproof too, since they have to give a warranty in those Countries. Apparently tested @ the Ring too for real life performance. Only drawback would be that installation would have to be in Switzerland at their premises only. So far apart from the 350Z GT-S concept noone I know has it on a UK Z though I like the switch off button too, a lot!
  21. have you modfied the oem one? looks good
  22. thing is... the difference can be made on savings by how "custom friendly" the shipment is. It's a good ~22% on avg to add to the total price! What's it like in Belgium? how much VAT and/or customs do you have to pay?
