thats cr@p i may aswell just go to austobarn and get a $60 one lol!
are the one's above easy to fit to ls1? i wanted the elite one because it was so straight forward?
may have to have a think about it!
Ase in south australia make one. My old man has one. Works well.
I got one 2 weeks ago, paid $50 for post.
Make a reasonable offer on it, as I want to go to a can with a breather, Its black.
Yes. It looks pretty much the same as the elite.Quote:

As for a real answer....I have one but I haven't fitted it yet. So that's not a real answer anyway....
..........:lmao:
Oh...and it would be "AN elite catch can" not "A elite catch can"...But now I am just nitpicking...
Pretty sure Elite in the US won't sell it to you....as Tuff Car Parts are the distributor. Call them up and see if they can do a deal...pretty sure I didn't pay normal retail...
Guys, tuff car parts probably aren't making a whole lot on it. Factor in o/s freight, gst, domestic postage, overheads. And they wear some risk.
All those ...... in your sentences are pretty poor England as well :)Quote:

I bought mine from Elite almost a year ago now and paid $46USD for US Global Express Service.
The Elite ones are awesome. Try to get one still if you can.
To the OP - if Elite in US won't sell you one try http://www.borderlinx.com/ which is set up to allow you to get stuff from OS in those sort of circumstances. I've never used it myself so can offer no comments on how good they are but from what I've read it seems good.
Oh touche! :pQuote:

That's why I bought the billet one. Same quality, same sort of baffle but $100 cheaper.Quote:

Lets face it the catch cans we get are not that much better than the $10 drinking containers you get from camping stores. A basic filter setup and that is it.

Got mine from the US for $215 about 2 weeks ago. Shipping from the US was 46USD.
They suggested that I buy it from Tuff Car Parts of whatever but they are charging 265 so yeah, safe to say I went with the cheaper option.
Dont think the thread below got off the ground. Twin inlet one appears to be the best option and different from overseas options.
Perhaps a second attempt is needed.

I hope that $215 was including the postage cost.Quote:

Ignore post.

I ordered one direct from elite earlier this year. Sent them an email & he was happy to help. From memory was about $220 delivered.
I just bought one myself, and what jesterarts has said it spot on. $215 shipped to Australia. I didnt have any problems buying straight from them and they look like a great product, plus have only heard great things from them.
cheers
no issues with buying from elite, just used paypal and it was here in a week!
I bought one of these. US$130 posted. They even do mods!
http://www.saikoumichi.com/product_line.html
Elite are doing free delivery in the US at present
As I will be there next week I got it shipped to a friend of a friend and will pick it up
Cost A$182.00
About $70.00 cheaper than the ebay price mentioned earlier
Happy camper
Stu
I also bought one of these, but it won't fit for my car, VE ls2 there's wiring and pipe work in the way. The ls2/3 are mounted on the passenger sideQuote:

I have just had a look at their website and either i am going blind or they dont mention the G8 anymore or the rod
But they now offer another couple of options.

Will post pic later
Well I'm not sure if there the same as mine isn't an elite one, it's the billet prototype as someone posted a link. They look similar so it still may work but who knows. Post the pic if you can. I might have to go with the other bracket just didn't want more hoses running everywhere.
