Default Fake NOS!!

Fancy a fake NOS bottle for your FG?

Then check out Ebay UK (search for NOS).

They are actually fancy cigarette lighters, around 3 inches tall. I've got one coming for my FG! Won't make it faster but it will look cool through the rear window of my Ferrari 360!!

Gaz.

Nice!!!! Mines all show and no go

I wonder how much power you could get out of one of these two strokers? Big bore kit, NOS & a super charger? [>:][>:]

The (m)Oddified without the NOS system already pushes out an incredible 6.8HP is what I heard from the master himself.
If with NOS system as shown on the picture but it must be impressive with a capital I. [>:]

I wonder which drive shafts are up to this amount of beating for longer time with this NOS system. Ian will say: not my problem they ask me to tune so I tune
Already without it is almost too much but Ian once again proved his tuning and driving experience last weekend by an impresive win of the open Dutch indoor championship.

nice to see a proper nos system that pumps fuel too and not just the gas the cheap kits bump which causes lean running and melted engines
the bottle in the back windows a nice idea, why not do the light buckets too

seen the gas kits on ebay for fg £110 - the same as used on gopeds that cost £15 also on ebay.the oddified system is either dry or wet system not sure which - but i know its the opposite to the cheap kits the blow your piston ring through your manifold.

Where can I get the lighter NOS bottle? I collect lighters and coozies.Wouldnt dare false advertise NOS.To many friends would think it was real and get too disapointed when they found out.Just can't do that to H.P. hungry drivers.lol

bad thing about buying nos kits - well for me- is that you have to wait forever to get the canisters, as they can;t send it by airmail

so we have o wait 2-3 months for it to arrive by seamail

I like the look of the bottle!! For me I woould just consider getting my engines tuned. I know a local guy here that tunes engines. He has raced 1/5 for years and know his stuff. He will push out whatever you want from the engine up to 7HP!! All for around $200 plus your engine.

I like the stock stealth look of an engine. LOL
