got my new header tank today

[krisbutler02]

well job for the weekend to fit my forge motorsport header tank

looks beter than in the pictures

 

[cliosportap]

nice
what are the advantages except the view

 

[DannoTheGreat]

thats sexy!

 

[Christopher]

No advantages. It just looks pretty.

Very nice.

 

[krisbutler02]

its much stronger , the plastic tanks are prone to splitting over time , much more durable

and yes looks nice

 

[iimushroomzii]

Pretty, How much it cost?

 

[iimushroomzii]

its much stronger , the plastic tanks are prone to splitting over time , much more durable

and yes looks nice

Splitting? Really? :S

 

[krisbutler02]

well yeah sometimes

its £147 same price as k-tec do them for but i like the look of this one beter
and bailey are just crap

 

[iimushroomzii]

Bloody hell! Rip off! lol

 

[Christopher]

LOL. They hardly ever split.

In fact, your new one weighs more. You've just hurt your bhp/ton ratio.

How do you like them apples?

 

[krisbutler02]

as i said sometimes ]

and you would be surprized by how little it does weigh

alot of time goes into making these so its not a complete rip off

i like them apples as i didnt pay alot

i could get a group buy going aswell and get some nice discount

 

[cliosportap]

well yeah sometimes

its £147 same price as k-tec do them for but i like the look of this one beter
and bailey are just crap

:dead:
probably a second hand engine price in uk

 

[krisbutler02]

haha yeah but still im happy with it thats all that counts

 

[krisbutler02]

would anyone be interested in a group buy?

 

[jordan172]

keeps the heat from the engine away from the coolant??? maybe i dont know!

looks good though

 

[James.f]

How can you tell if your water is low tho?

 

[cat171]

I like the look of it (I love chrome stuff)

 

[cat171]

How can you tell if your water is low tho?

Have to look in it iirc.

 

[krisbutler02]

How can you tell if your water is low tho?

good question but the answer i think is u just check it when cold with the lid off

 

[James.f]

Have to look in it iirc.

Thats stupid,

but does look good tho

 

[krisbutler02]

i work for forge so i may ask about getting sight glasses added but probably a big job

 

[James.f]

good question but the answer i think is u just check it when cold with the lid off

But you wont see the water tho no, as it will be either too shiny or too dark, only way is probably to stick a piece of stick in and measure it like that,

 

[krisbutler02]

quite easy to see inside

 

[Christopher]

How much?!?!

 

[krisbutler02]

How much?!?!

?

 

[Conlon]

group buy? maybes if it is a significant saving seen as you work for forge!?

 

[krisbutler02]

yeah im going to speak to the boss about a price over the weekend

 

[kevin.s]

i love these but dont think they are worth the money for what they are (says he with a polished strut brace lol)

 

[krisbutler02]

depends how much you love your car

 

[krisbutler02]

Fitted it this morning 2 min job

 

[krisbutler02]

got an induction hose coming next and a simota aeroform

hopefully next week

 

[Tigger]

The bay lets the new tank down mate - get it all cleaned up & polish the inlet & fuel guard etc

 

[krisbutler02]

lol give me a chance

 

[DannoTheGreat]

header tank is one of the next things on the list for me

 

[mike1pow]

i have a bailey one fitted on mine and i love it! I also have the samco hoses so looks extra special

 

[krisbutler02]
