Also with go pro's the mic is kinda crappy, there's external ones that are much better for only a few bucks on ebay, there's some knock off sony ones that are just as good apparently, my mate got some for his gopro's and loves them.

Just curious if the XR5 and TDCI intercoolers are the same item? I'm looking at getting a matte black Airtec Gen3 FMIC for my Focus. Not sure if I asked here earlier or not.

I emailed them and they literally replied in 10 minutes, good customer service!

Mine is on the way, does it make any difference to noise? I ordered mine in matte black to not attract any police attention .

I've been flying under the radar everywhere so far.

Damo- yeah AS are bloody good.

Car got a service today ready for tommorrow, tyres look like they have about 5000 clicks left in em i reckon i might do 2000 of them tommorrow at happy laps

Dallas, Were the above pics on a "sighting" lap? You're not wearing crash helmets. In my experience, I've NEVER been out on a racecircuit without one.

Nice pics though!

Nah i dont know if its happens everywhere, but its called 'Happy Laps' ive been to afew days and the organising club has happy laps, 30 minutes on the track to have some fun. Now it was limited somewhat in regards to speed, but i seen 175 under the timing boom at Lakeside so it wasnt enforced too much.

This was my first time actually having a run on the track, but as usual it only takes 1 mungbean to ruin it for everyone, lucky it didnt happen today and everyone was well behaved.

I got mine for $420, as the owner of autospecialists.co.uk offered us an awesome group buy price and i got it for the same.
