Author Topic: SFS Silicone coolant hose group buy (Read 12658 times)

Chris · « **on:** 18 April 2014, 04:31:28 am »

Hi all,

This thread is just for people to put down their names for the Silicone coolant hose kits from SFS performance.

Any discussion about the pipes etc should be held in the original thread (here: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,6189.0.html ) or it will get too confusing as to who is wanting a kit and who's asking what etc...

The kits will most likely be around £130 to £140 but I will confirm the exact price when I can. But budget for that. A colour list can be found on the SFS website to help you choose. http://www.sfsperformance.co.uk/index.asp

We need 10+ people for the group buy so please add your names below with a comment stating what colour you would like and I will add you to the list in this post.

1. emjaydee - blue
2. Tefer
3. PeeGee - blue
4. scratch it - blue
5. Jules-C - black
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Any questions please PM me or post in the other thread.

For those who haven't seen them this is what they look like on my bike:

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry for any confusion regarding the PM you sent me, your name has been removed from the list. No need to freak out about it, an honest mistake that is easily fixed.

there was a guy last group buy with a gold bike and he got red pipes, sounds odd but looked really good. think it's on page 14 or 15ish of the rad hose thread.

If I win the lottery, I'd be interested in a red set. Otherwise, I'm afraid it'll have to wait a few months for me.

Jules-C · « **Reply #17 on:** 21 May 2014, 01:04:20 pm »

I was one of the people that was just too late for the last group buy. Signing up for a set in black this time round

Chris · « **Reply #18 on:** 21 May 2014, 04:52:52 pm »

ok, will add you to the list but due to the lack of interest so far I'm not betting on this group buy making it much further. I will happily be proved wrong though!

Get spreading the word folks!

Look very tidy, are they easy to fit? Personally never replaced radiator hoses

Thanks, Yeah was pretty straight forward. The pipe behind the exhaust down pipes was a bit fiddly but not too bad. Coolant stinks so make sure not to get it on you but good to replace it as it's an often forgotten about DIY service item.

I think these look greet
But too expensive for me

Chris · « **Reply #22 on:** 23 May 2014, 01:39:04 am »

Yeah, they really add a nice detail to the engine but they are expensive for what is essentially a cosmetic item.

Well, the silicon won't deteriorate like the rubber ones.

Yes, there is the added material performance benefit. also very easy to keep clean, quick wipe over with a damp cloth and they look like new again.
