Re: any gruop order for FJ'S
Well Walid going by the size of the boxes it came in I guessed was round 100 Kg.
That guy Bill Agha has yet to answer me on my Icon request. And about them vaiving their shipping keep dreaming.
Also that TBS is not worth the money its not gonna give you any boost in power or torque its just a gimmic ask others who have installed one.
Thanks Maddog for the contacts for George I will be calling him tomorrow.

Wrong.
Granted the performance claims are questionable and could only be verified by dyno. Ok.
However, an unfortunate aspect of the TRD/aFe intake is the the tube can sometimes remove itself from the filter box due to the engine torquing or twisting under load, and then my friend your fancy dan intake is breathing pure 100% UAE sand. 8O
A side benefit of the TBS is that it squeezes up the tube more between the throttle body and the filter box ie there's less space for the tube to twist out. It locks it in there nice and tight.
I've seen 2 tubes popped off without the driver even knowing
PS I have a TBS and very happy with it, and one very rigid and sand proof intake system for me.
You have now been warned

Re: any gruop order for FJ'S
Wasif,
You have an email in your mail box. Sorry it took so long, but international shipping is not a fun thing to figure out. Rates keep going up. We do have a new company that we can ship with large shipments that is reasonably priced. If we have a big enough order to ship all at once.
Walid,
Thanks for the link to this website.
All,
Please make sure you send me an email if you need anything and do not feel bad about sending multiple emails. email: bill@pureautogroup.com
Happy Ramadan. I am fasting too!

Re: any gruop order for FJ'S
Hi Bill thanks for the shipping quote the 7 day rate is much better sounding . Will you be matching the price that Outlaw is offering on the ICON Stage 1 setup ?
Maddog regarding the TBS do you actually feel any increase in performance? This is applicable if one fits this thing on after driving the car for a while with the CAI and Cat Back. If you had all three installed at one go its hard to tell what is giving you what responce.BTW I got teh Mebar Custom Bumpstops installed as well last week.
I don't have a TBS on as yet so maybe I might buy one later and see if it actually adds anything to the power or to economy otherwise all that I have read on them says they are not really worth the money.
So guys are we ready to consolidate the order and ask Bill for a shipping quote on it ?
PS Walid can you please elaborate on the Import Duty componenet.

Re: any gruop order for FJ'S
Sheeeez you can be hard work sometimes Wasif!!!
I'll tell you, again. In simple terms -
I did not fit the TBS for performance reasons. I don't care. Its not a gimmick.
So let Kalemero decide when to close it.
:grr: :grr: :suicide:

This is Kalemero's thread, he said he's going to let it run for four days. Give others a chance to sign on man, the more the better for us.So guys are we ready to consolidate the order and ask Bill for a shipping quote on it ?

Re: any gruop order for FJ'S
Thanks for the warm welcome. I have not been to dubahi as of yet, although my brother seems to go there a lot. One day!
TBS does help a little but do not expect huge numbers. I dynoed one on a chevy S10, V6 with a 4.3L vortec and we saw a 3 hp gains. Given every hp counts on these heavy vehicles it was worth it. The gain with the stock air intake. There was not a cold air intake for the truck to see if the benefits are greater or worse.
I will gladly work on getting better shipping once we know what is all invloved in packaging and shipping. The chepest would be shipping to a main airport, and letting you guys manage the customs and imprt fees. I'll gladly do all the necessary paperwork for you as well.
Thank you!

Re: any gruop order for FJ'S
I had my CAI popt out during one of the trips, and thanks to banna who helped me fix it again, it took us one hour to be fixed again, now when on trips I check it on every stop.
So am not after performance, but reliability and safety, and will shift to dry one.
Thanks maddog for the info, will see if Bill can provide the same, I'll get 2
Regards
Walid

I suggest we finalize the shopping list first, and then negotiate this matter with Bill.

Re: any gruop order for FJ'S
Walid, sorry mate, I foolishly haven't kept the part number for the filter - and I've been digging around on the aFe website, and i cant even find ANY Pro-Dry S filters, let alone the one that fits.
I'll keep looking...
