Title: eBay fc3s parts?
Post by: B.Martin on May 11, 2011, 07:50:39 PM
I know everyone as a rule advises against eBay parts, but usualy this advice is for electrical things like the dreaded eBay chip that adds +20 BHP!!! And perhaps cheap bov\'s and the like.

More to the point there is a company in Birmingham sells reasonable priced stainless systems and they have a few turbo manifolds on there as well they\'re called \'1st car parts\' has anyone ever braved it and tried them out? It\'s all stainless so I guess the only real problem you could face is things not fitting properly.

I emailed them also the other day to ask if the exhaust in question fitted the turbo model of the fc3s bit they were unsure, which obviously wasn\'t very convincing.

Basically just wondered on peoples opinions, or if anyone had tried it out or know anyone that had.

(never really looked at parts for the TII before now, so I\'m a n00b all over again!)

Not 100%, but they do 2 systems - one with a downpipe, and this is for the TII, and the other without, this is PROBABLY for the EGi, as it\'s a smaller diameter too.

If I was you, I\'d get the 3" with the downpipe anyway, since you have a TII. Be warned - it IS loud though! (several people on here have it already)

I cant seem to see one with a downpipe included? It only says decat on the one I\'m looking at it\'s item number 110680465106. Could I be cheeky and ask one of you FC veterans to take a quick look. I hate being a n00b :(

The chips tend to be alright. Go for a jap branded one though.

Exhausts I imagine will be fine, doubt you\'ll find anything cheaper unless it\'s used.

You won\'t need any sort of manifold unless you\'re cracking a big turbo on there

Does that downpipe fit RHD cars?

Cheers John really appreciate that, I\'ll let you know how I get on! It seems a bit daft they didn\'t know which type of car the exhaust fitted!
