The Eagle has landed!!! The Eagle has landed!!!

For those that are wondering what the heck I am talking about, that is code for: The first 10 airboxes have landed in Toronto from the Composites shop..

I will be doing an inspection over the weekend and am waiting for the custom packaging to arrive (should be here Monday).. I'll post the first 10 names of the lucky recipients during the weekend..

Very cool, Victor. Can't wait to see those suckers! I'm just having my car detailed today, so I hope I'm in the first 10.

Don't forget about a fellow 6-speeder................

Hey Dan!! I'll check over the list tomorrow and see who the first 10 are....

Dont worry Steve.. I won't forget about you.. I just cant remember if you fall into the first 10 or not.. I know you have a stock TB on your car, so that helps you a bit.. LOL..

vrus

I compiled a list of the first 10 people to receive the airbox based on the order of receipt of their payments..

These people I have listed I show as having a STOCK TB.. If you dont have a Stock TB and you are on this list please let me know because these 10 airboxes will be configured for stock TB.

Should I do a victory dance now?

b3d_sage

vader

Kev04C320

Oh Vic,

When-O-When will us 80mm T/Body guys get ours... ??????

OK!!

So who is the lucky person that will be getting my airbox??

vrus

Sportsters78 Stephen buddy.. You can thank Manjit for this... You are now Airbox #10.. Majit (Efivefive) wants an 80mm TB & the matching airbox so you get his spot for the first run!

vrus

James, buddy... I know it's been a long wait.. Believe it or not, MY airbox is not even on my car yet.. LOL.. I am waiting for the rubber inserts to arrive from the manufacturing company we hired.. I have my airbox but I can only stare at it for now until the inserts arrive.

They should be shipped shortly and the remaining 23 airboxes will follow right after this shipment..

I'll get some firmer dates once I get confirmation from the composites shop.

All of you guys with 80mm TBs... Thanks so much for your patience.. I know its been a long haul, but, hopefully once you get this in your hands it will be all worth it.

One of the reasons for this long development is because we engineered this product to work with a variety of TBs and various models of cars... Also, I am very picky and wanted to make sure everything was perfect before I approved anything.

This will payoff in the long run as an owner of this fine product because as you upgrade your car, the airbox will continue to be part of your car.. (Unlike the competitor products where you have to scrap the airbox and purchase another one).

ENDSMTG

Victor,

Would you be so kind as to supply the addresses of the fortunate 10, so that we can stalk the FedEx driver for deliveries!

MafiosoCLS55

MACHC5

Oh OK, I'll crawl back in my bear cave and wait for Spring...

Hey Victor I forget - the filters you supply do they need to be oil coated ?

I got this from a local tuning shop re oil impregnated filters.

"Be careful that the air box doesn't contain an oil impregnated
filter. They are a bloody menace. With high ambient under bonnet temperatures the oil becomes very light and is drawn into the intake. No problem except it contaminates the surface of the meter that monitors air flow into the car. If the filter with the box is oil impregnated try and wash it out before installation."

--phill--

K&N`s are really bad for this too much oil

Kev04C320

Problem is the K&N's only need a little bit of oil after you clean it. Most people will use a larger than suggested amount of oil to oil their filter (we're visual animals after oil, if we can't see the oil with our eyes, there aren't enough). There has been reports on failed MAF sensors due to too oil poisoning the MAFs.

If you use the oil judiciously, there shouldn't be much problem.

i just throw away the old filters, and buy new ones.. they aren't that expensive...and you don't really have to worry about oil

sporters78

vic,
any idea when your shipping the airboxes out?

vrus

The filters will be pre-oiled... Dont worry about the oil contaminating anything.. That is only an issue with cars that have MAF .. our cars are MAP based.. And the only time the oil is an issue on MAF cars is if you OVER-OIL them...

If it was an issue, I would never put it on my own car..

I went down to inspect the airboxes, the packaging boxes, the air filters and eveything else yesterday... The custom airfilters I had made are coming from Europe and they are currently in customs. They have an expected arrival date for this afternoon..

I didnt want to ship out the airboxes alone and then resend filters later so I have been waiting for the filters to clear customs.

If the delivery arrives this afternoon, I will be going down tomorrow to get them out of here..

When I was there inspecting the airboxes I did notice that instead of sending me 10 airboxes for the STOCK TB like they told me, they ended up sending me half for STOCK and half of them for 80mm...

This ends up being a little more fair since alot of the guys that have been waiting since last year for this product all have 80mm TBs..

So now, we'll have a good sampling since we'll have stock guys & 80mm guys trying it out.

Yes, There is a God.. ...!
And he loves the 80MM T/Body crew... ...
