If any more stuff pops up from him, I think we may have to have words about semi-commercial sellers using the board.......

He works for my local Honda dealer (I think). They stocked a load of HKS kit 12-18 months ago and were left with some they couldn't shift. The sales guy I bought my 04 from there tried to offload it onto me - but at full list price, which wasn't remotely attractive. It was also on ebay but failed to sell. He recently sold an HKS exhaust to Rahula. I guess that he's either flogging the kit on behalf of the dealer or has bought it himself at a song and is flogging it on.

Can't remember which it was, the HKS manifold or suction kit, but I'm sure I read on here that it had been dyno-ed more than once and had been found to lose power because it wasn't particularly efficient Might have been heat-soak related - I can't really remember.

To be fair to Lee he only put up one ad and that was for both the exhaust and the manifold.

I agree with you on one issue though mark and that non members should not be allowed to sell. Once they become members it should be at least 3-4 weeks before they are allowed to post in the sale forum. I would have lost the buy of the exhaust but it does protect us all in the end.

Mark, i've tried searching for results on the HKS header, but with little sucess , it will be fully wrapped before fitting anyhow so that should help with under bonnet temperatures and flow.

Apparantly they had 3 headers they couldn't shift, so Lee purchased them job lot and is selling them on. At 250 nicker it would be rude not to
