Can arrived on Tuesday which was pretty quick. It looks ok but there a a few scratches on the stainless part. Not too bothered though as I may end up painting it anyway as I will probably take it apart to check the quality of the packing anyway.

Anyone can get a sticker and put it on a can. Anyone with any common sense should be able to spot a fake a mile off. The price, especially if buying new is usually the clue. There are several Chinese silencers that have acrpovic stickers on but to be fair they generally make it clear they are not ge...

Decided to drop some dosh on this one. Not a big fan of fake carbon but I can put up with the tip. I have been advised elsewhere to swap out the packing as the Chinese use cheap shit that burns up quickly.

Thunderace wheels

I've just bought a set of wheels including discs but not tyres. I need to arrange the courier, but the seller can't weight the wheels. Does anyone know how much each wheel would weight including discs.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I gave the first two episodes a chance but no more. It just isnt the same without the three amigos, the bamter and the overall silliness. The American guys voice gets on my nerves as alot of the time he sound bored and not really into it.

I bought a set of Delkevic pipes a few years ago and while they retained the exup valve they were mild steels same as oem and not stainless. The only stainless pipes as far as I kmow are made by Sandys Spares and do not retain the exup valve.

The fzr ones fit fine and have the advantage of stainless headers rather than the aces mild steel ones. Also the end cans for the fzr are a slip on rather than bolt on so you get a much bigger selection of end cans available. I have a set ready to go on my ace after I have sorted out the exup valve.
