It had to happen, a few years ago Hymee was a "rock star" now you tell me he's a "hero", anyone out there going to vote him in as a "God"?
Face facts he's just some sort of tribesman.

I had to get that oil leak fixed too. To his credit Hymee and his fabricator flew down to Sydney at their own cost and organized a local workshop to do the work. No problems since. Has resulted in a slight mod to the kit to avoid this issue recurring.

I've just taken delivery of a second oil cooler kit and gauge set, which I'll get installed asap.

Car has been running perfectly. The extra torque is very addictive. Drinks like an alcoholic around town though.

it runs engine oil not a separate oil system.

YuppY,

Engine oil is fed to the compressor gears via these oil lines.

Cheers,
Hymee.

but you are the rock star.

you made a product that worked. well worked damn well.

you tried to make a product that was never produced.. the thoughts were there. but did not fly.

sad for everyone here. but did you take money for the afs? and to this day the short shifts sells used for almost as much as new.. tribute!

btw, did you get the afs working with the s2k ? might be a way to go..

beers
