MYK Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Link I know it's been discussed on here about posting links before, but came across this and I see no harm in posting it. No bids, and a week auction by the looks of it so figured now might be a safe time to post... Anyway. He says its for a facelift (judging by the years) and in solid black (which makes me doubt its from a GT). So far it looks like it could be a bit of a bargain! It's also a shame that the 140 K & N Typhoon kit wont fit the T-Sport as I'd put a bid in on that unit if I could!

InsolentMinx Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 it's off his "VVTI GT" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think it was basically a 140 with a GT bodykit I'm guessing that as he's selling a K&N Typhoon kit as well which is fora 140. And it's in black. GT's where never available in black Wish I could have the K & N Typhoon kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYK Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's the price I'll pay. Guess I'll just have to wait and see if there are any angry responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYK Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 See! Some good has come of this.... Does anyone know the difference between a 140 K&N SRI and a 190 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armoredfist2002 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) See! Some good has come of this.... Does anyone know the difference between a 140 K&N SRI and a 190 version? Pipe on the 190 is straight, the 140 is slightly upwards (or downwards depending on how you look at it), due to the throttle body position This is the 190 version straight pipe This is for the 140, slight kink in pipe Edited August 15, 2012 by armoredfist2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serratia Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Someone got a £72 bargain. Anyone on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well - posting this didn't seem to make any difference I'm more than happy to say if a cheap set of tech 5's come up if someone posts them on the forum I wouldn't mind. I just wouldn't post it myself. So hope posting the link was ok. Whoever it is grabbed themselves a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev 16v Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 if a cheap set of tech 5's come up. I just wouldn't post it myself. I think that is the point. You wouldn't probably bump up the price you were prepared to pay for something you wanted by highlighting it on here, yet you don't mind doing the same thing for others Still, it's a free country, with no hard and fast rules on this subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) You're right. If I was bidding on something then I most certainly wouldn't post it. BUT. If someone came on here and posted the link to what I was bidding on it wouldn't make any difference to me. I'd have my maximum price set, and thats it. If I was outbid then thats that Also - after 5 days and no bids there was only the starting price. I wasn't bumping it up. If this was the case then we really shouldn't post any ebay links on here at all unless it was a buy it now. Whether listed correctly or not. "Just in case".

dr3bin Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 As an FYI GT's were built (albeit extremely rarely) in Storm Blue, a.k.a 'black'. So when 'black' is thrown around it's either a 140 in Astral Black or a 190/GT in Storm Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 My last T-Sport was storm blue. But. This is definitely black and advertised as black. So knew it was from a 140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
