Hi Jbruno, you did indeed message me but nothing about reserving the item? You just wanted to know what Cobra say about the grit issue. I do apologise if that was meant to be a 'I'll take the item' message but nothing within its content led me to believe you were actually interested in buying it? As soon as I heard from CS I messaged you, directing you to the info I put up on this thread. I'm quite happy if you want to put the contents of our PM on here for people to see.
I'm not sure where it is in the transit stage dude but I'd rather it was sent to me so I can check it over and make sure it's in my possession when money is exchanged.
Right, the warranty claim has gone through at Cobra and they are sending a new rear silencer so the lucky buyer basically gets a new rear section.. Original tips and mid pipe...! With that in mind there is 100% no wiggle room on the price.
What you've done is the equivalent of dipping your toe in the swimming pool to see if the temperature is acceptable, now you know it is get ready to jump off the diving board into the deep end.
I've had a couple of random people ask me when I pull over 'Is that a turbo, does it have a dump valve?'.. Then I have to get all nerdy and go 'no mate, it's a supercharger with a bypass valve'... I've just given up now and go 'yeah sure, why not'
Ah yeah, I just remember seeing the Maxflow race BOV.
Maybe it's used for multiple applications, when I saw it I was thinking 'isn't it supposed to be a bypass valve? Oh well...'
I've been trying to find an image like your 'defective' wheel but I've had no luck all of the official Veilside ones I can see have the inscription on them. Something definitely up with that wheel, can you take the wheel off and see if there are any markings? Maybe compare how heavy they are too if you get a chance.
