Group Buy: Mazdaspeed Radiator Caps

Rupewrecht · 26-05-2004, 12:27 PM

Ok, due to incessant nagging, i've investigated a group buy of Mazdaspeed Radiator Caps (copies, not the genuine things, obviously)

update:

these raise the pressure to 1.3Bar

these things:

they look like being about $30 possibly including postage - final price yet to be determined

Add yourself to the list on page 3!

Rupewrecht · 26-05-2004, 01:05 PM

LOL i could get genuine ones from elsewhere for about the same price!

but in prettty pink or green

whats the general concensus?

Aaron · 26-05-2004, 01:29 PM

Geniune over the copies at that price

Cosmo Dude · 26-05-2004, 02:09 PM

A little high for me and I don't believe they would be ADR compliant. Not that it would worry me too much :wink:

BigBoyLemonade · 26-05-2004, 05:05 PM

Hmm a bit to expensive for a radiator cap.. I would go geniune because it actually lifts the pressure in the water system, now if thats a good thing or not I dont know.

apparently the 'Black Label' copiues lift it to the same pressure as the 'Pink/Green Label' ones

"they increase the pressure inside the radiator, thus raising the coolant boiling point and increasing cooling efficiency" so the site says

Toyboy · 26-05-2004, 06:26 PM

Im keen :wink:

MrShadow · 26-05-2004, 06:34 PM

I'll stick with the oil cap for now.

BigMal · 26-05-2004, 09:19 PM

There is a guy that sells them local for around $35 on ebay.

Rupewrecht · 27-05-2004, 11:25 AM

ok, have msged him. will see what happens

Dogo · 27-05-2004, 12:14 PM

id be interested if they're available at a reasonable price

mrpayner · 27-05-2004, 12:47 PM

Possibly.. not sure yet though.. Am going to wait to see what a painted engine cover will look like [if we go for the genuine articles..]

KittyKatSmack · 27-05-2004, 02:47 PM

The ones I saw originally were the ones Mal has listed.

I am not willing to spend $60 UNLESS it is genuine.....

I figure a copy to be worth half that.....

Heck, I would even have pink, LOL!!!

:lol:

Rupewrecht · 27-05-2004, 03:05 PM

Ok, ahve got a response from the guy in Australia selling them

and i can get the 'Black Label' fakes for $32 pickup, or $35 delivered (for a minimum of 10ish)

as opposed to $45 from him otherwise if you buy individually

verdict?

oh, and get your asses into gear and you might get them for the dyno day

KittyKatSmack · 27-05-2004, 04:19 PM

what colour are the oilcaps we got??

Dogo · 27-05-2004, 04:28 PM

do those fake ones come in black ?

kitty :

Rupewrecht · 27-05-2004, 04:36 PM

ok, just to clarify

Radiator Caps:
Genuine Ones are Pink or Green
Fake ones are Black

Oil caps:
the ones everyone ordered are as per Dogos pic above

KittyKatSmack · 27-05-2004, 05:59 PM

Dogo knows why I asked, LOL

Black radiator caps to go with Black 710 caps!

schweetness!!!
