Was thinking about buying this kit and just wanted to know how much extra BHP I will get from it?








Hahha...i kid, i kid. I really want to know how difficult they are to install? Do all radiator and power steering fluids need draining? Is it best to use new fluids afterwards, or just re-use what has been drained? Anything else I should be aware of?

Marsdendean I know Bandit had problems with them on his Skyline, they were closing up too much and was costing him so much in fuel!

It depends on the quality of the hoses, if their cheap then yes they will contract, but if their good quality and a good ply then they are def an improvement as they wont flex in or out

I was just gonna say that, they are only over in Luton, you can order direct from them. I have in the past and their service is pretty good.
