Ok that's cleared up then as it was confusing when it was said that I could post a picture of them but not a link to them.

Ok then as you state that simply put can I post a link to the CF lights that Luke at zcentre sells which is the ones the OP is talking about which contains no porn or illegal activity?

Ok not to go too OT but actually I'm not 100% sure why the site you refer to is banned I just found out along the way it is. Also then is the site that sells these CF lights performing illegal activity or displaying porn because under those guidelines I can't see why people are not allowed to link there?

There is a list of banned sites somewhere that you can't link to or you get banned. Maybe a mod can post up a link to this list so everyone is aware.

I'd post up a link to the lights but I think it is another site that isn't liked and I'd be banned again. I know the lights you mean I will be using them. I thought Bob had the FRP ones though may be wrong.

upgraded intercooler piping
AMS have their own issues with a lot of people not liking them as they basically ripped off everyone else's parts and made them cheaper. So it isn't exactly their own R&D that has gone into them. That's one if the reasons a certain US company doesn't sell them and won't. So maybe not eBay crap but if you get your hands on the kit all may not be as shiny as first seems and when you understand how AMS have produced a lot of parts they start to lose their appeal. I was all out for AMS until I started digging and found out this info. Now a lot of people don't care how much R&D has gone into the parts they use on their zed its normally cost orientated and cheapest wins all the time.

upgraded intercooler piping
Seems to me it's alot about quality. For example the price difference between a Greddy FMIC and a eBay FMIC is anyone seriously going to say that performance wise they are the same? These are made by Ashspec who have always done top quality parts that's what you are paying for. Not something that needs a bit if tweaking to fit I would say they would fit perfect and I have seen some types of cheaper IC pipes that simply do not fit and need cutting to fit. Or even email Greg Dupree and ask what the quality is like on these or Coz. Top parts cost money and if you wanna run with big boys it ain't cheap.

Bearded dragon home question
My beardies havent had a cricket in years as they eat locusts and they dont make a noise plus they prefer them to crickets. Mine are active which is all about the upbringing and diet plus supplements. My viv is huge now having had 3 ranging from smaller glass ones now to a 6 foot wide 2 foot ish deep and about 2 half feet high. The heat is all about the bathing spot on top of a bit of wood next to the heat source the whole viv doesnt need to be redders. You can use a thermometer to measure the temps in basking spot and cool spot. My 2 ceramic heat lamps run on a thermostat to regulate the temp at the basking spot. UV strips need changing every 6 months iirc as this promotes a healthy beardie and they will be more active. I let mine run round the house and they play about with the cats in fact the cats are just shit scared of them. Size wise they aint massive at around 4/5 years old now. Bodies are about 7/8 inches and full length of about 15 inches this should be them fully grown now.

Front Vs Side Mounted Intercoolers
Was discussed a week ago i think and i said the same then. Research was done in the US i think it was on a dyno run and the FMIC performed better plus there is also someone else over here that has done this as well i believe. Now a cheap FMIC might not do the trick but certainly a good FMIC like Greddy against good side mounts like ARC and the FMIC performs better. As always though alot will claim its the other way round or simply say that SMICs are better but tests have been done.

whats needed help
im not sure if you will have to cut it. Just depends how wide the front mount is. Having seen the 99 spec bumper though im not sure it really allows the best air flow for a FMIC as the front opening looks quite small to me so you will have to see what you think and what will be best.

whats needed help
I think a test has been done on this as i remember reading it. Lot of people are against FMIC as they dont like the look however a well made and reputable FMIC performed better than SMIC`s on a dyno run. Pretty sure it was the yank guys that done this but i think there is a certain person over here that has proof of this as well. People say alot of stuff because its what they read others saying and take the word for it but majority of the time this is with no first hand experience. Look at the OEM design of where the SMIC`s are located for a start. Windscreen washer reservoir (on LWB), carbon canister and coolant overflow tank all in and about the area that is for the SMIC air flow. Looking at the basics an air to air charge cooler works on the principal of allowing air to pass through it as unrestricted as possible and exit out the otherside to allow the greatest cooling of the air in the intercooler. Now look at where the SMIC`s locate and what is behind them. Then look at a FMIC set up and what you get. Its up to you though and im sure there will be plenty of people along stating that SMIC`s are the way to go cos thats what they have.
