TRD DAN Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 sureley it would be suicide for them as a company to run a car under there name and then not run there parts ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 sureley it would be suicide for them as a company to run a car under there name and then not run there parts ????Because it might tend to tarnish XS Power's glowing reputation for top notch products and world class customer service?

Gazboy Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Id have a tenner there aint any XS power parts on the car, anyone got an engine bay pic? It's only got to last a burnout and a 7 second run. Not that I'm fronting a tenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more a case of some batches of XS parts have been bad, problems with the manifolds, regarding quality control/bad welds etc, and also some of the parts are not even manufactured by them, i am running a manifold and exhaust with no problems, the GT 4088 issues are due to heat, mine is also fine so far;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 It's only got to last a burnout and a 7 second run. No once but twice Stuffed Bradshaws Skyline The JPS mkiv looks very nice but only did shake down runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
