Hey just wondering if anyone has used one of these otr's?
Just want to know how they compare to the likes of the VCM OTR?
I prefer these for the carbon fibre look.
But if the design isn't great then I will just go buy the vcm.

Thanks,
Blair.

Its just a Yella Terra style otr made out of Carbon fibre from what I can see.

I have used a Yella Terra one and worked ok.

I was looking at them earlier.
They look similar to the VCM items.

Yeha I had found the SRE listing also.

Went to Gator today and picked on up. The guy there was good, helped me fit it and had a chat. Really helpful guy.


Excuse my dirty bay :(

They're currently getting ready to make carbon fibre coil pack covers and radiator cover pieces to go beside the otr.

I like the sound of the rad cover. Though I expect it to sting the ring-hole a bit.
Would be interesting to see some flow logs done vs other brands.

Ran the car at heathcote today, ran a 13.23 with filter out using this otr.

I am really happy with the finish of it, the only thing that lets it down for me is the rubber joiner (VCM Suite item) is a little too long for my car so the otr sits forward a little. But it should be an easy fix once I get around to it.

It hardly got warm, and if it did, it wouldn't last long. Just cooled down so quickly.
If I had to do it again, I would definitely buy this OTR.

What other mods do you have?
Do you know the MPH you run?

That OTR just looks like another PT copy to me. Everyone has copied that design

Did some quick sums.

(109/234)^3)*3527) = 356.


109mph = 356hp.
Sound about right?
