Saloon X power back boxes PAIR (NEW)

[Blue Flash]

ebay item No 350341741420(AE Wilcox)starting of @ £200 should attract a fair few bids I suspect......stand by for a stampede!!:fight

[colintf]

Not far from me either.

I wonder where John and the boys had those hidden up at Wickwar?

:cool:

[ksilver]

I have Zeros which I swapped with Geoff for a brand new set of X-Powers that I hadn't even unwrapped!

Love the Zeros, probably better for the mileage that I do, but I do sometimes wish I kept the X-Powers.

[Bainzi]

I will be bidding on these puppies :) I didnt need new tyres anyway lol

Sound off if you are the single bidder as at 2246 hrs and I will back off.

Regards

Nigel

[GeoffW]

He even has some diffs and gearboxes, but don't tell anyone, I had a nosey around once when my car was in for a service, He has so many bits and pieces even from the early leyland days, eg, princess, allegro etc
I see he has 2 new front bumpers for the K1 starlight silver and blue buy for £ 105.00

[ksilver]

£410 and more than 9 days to go!! :shock:shock

only kiddin

[ksilver]

Now at £460! WTF

[stevemiller]

That's my mind made up I will be getting the X's cut to suit the saloon. No bid made and won't be bidding.

Steve.

[colintf]

these are flying!

John Wilcox must be rubbing his hands with glee!!

:cool:

:cool:

No, I think he will be pulling the place apart looking for more!!

[colintf]

either way, I bet he is smiling!

just how high will these go?

:cool:

[ksilver]

I must admit I thought they could go for £450-500, but to get to this level so soon is a bit bonkers!

At this price could Zero Exhausts not do something similar?

I guess Zero's are still obtainable.

XPowers are rare (2nd hand) let alone new. Only needs 2 people who really want them to make the price rocket!

:cool:

[Bainzi]

I have not bid yet and if they go much higher I wont lol

[ColinE]

All I can say is I'm glad mine were on the car when I bought her

[Blue Flash]

Last time I looked they were up at £520 with nearly 8 days to run how high will these babes go to! :~..got to be a forum member/s on here that's surely bidding if so wonder if they will they reveal themselves after the event :1

[Herman]

All I can say is I'm glad mine were on the car when I bought her

Same here:D

[SH4RKY]

Remember when they were going for 200 quid....

ahhh... the good old days. :)

[ColinE]

Bet you wish you'd bought some then!!!!!!!

[ksilver]

It is quite interesting to look at the bid history. So far there are only 2 bidders, the winning bidder put in the first bid and the other keeps coming back with a slightly higher bid but always being outbid by that 1st bid.

It must have been a stonking first bid!

£600 anyone?

The first bidder really really wants them!:D
Or he made a mistake like I did once. I was bidding on an item and when I put my bid I accidentally added a zero, I wanted to bid £100. Guess if I was scared til the auction was over.:) Fortunatly I won it for a fair price.

cheers

Steve,

Am I to understand you are in possesion of a set of Tourer XPower Exhausts, XPT000097ACC and XPT000097ACD ? If so, please don't cut them, and talk to me first.

Bruce.

[colintf]

glad they were readily avaliable new when I bought mine nearly 3 years ago!

:cool:

[colintf]

I can hear John Wilcox chuckling form here, as these continue to rise in price!!

:cool:

[ksilver]

Oooh - price drop!

Was at £560, now at £470! Looks like that original bidder has been removed/withdrawn.

[black olive]

I logged into ebay and got confused, they were at £200- some bid tweakery must have been going on

[scooter]

Glad I have a spare new set plus a new standard set :~

[GeoffW]

we will need X Power security bolts soon to stop them go walkies as there in such demand:D one day could be worth more than the car :~

[BRM494]

Whole thing looks a bit fishey now. First bidder at £565 was exposed by a number of bids by second who was nicely positioned at £560. His bids are still there. Third bidder has only been £460 brave so far leaving bidder 2 at 470 of his total of 560. So £560.01 would take it........

[ColinE]

At these prices I might just sell mine!

[gaz the gas]

still time.....

[black olive]

I might buy them and put them away for a few years- better rate of interest than the banks at the moment :D

[ksilver]

Glad I have a spare new set plus a new standard set :~

Time you had your burglar alarm serviced me thinks!!

[ksilver]

£611 (inc postage) !!!:eek:

[ColinE]

Bloody hell!

[peterv8]

Don't let your insurance company know you have x-power exhausts as your insurance rate will increase dramaticly.:D

[ColinE]

State they were a factory fit option!!

[colintf]

Wow - that'll please John and the Boys at Wickwar!

:cool:

[T16]

That price is lunacy.

Whoever paid that was a complete moron.

[spartacus]

Whoever paid that was a complete moron.... or someone who recognised that it might be the last chance to get a new pair and thought it was worth the money ;)

Oh, it wasn't me, you'd have to be a mo... :~

[T16]

But you can get a new pair!!

All they are is Janspeed back boxes.

Janspeed will even put the Xpower logo on for you.

If this site organised a group buy, I'd be pretty sure that the price would be at least cheaper than the original Xpart prices.

Food for thought maybe?

I dont mind organising if need be.

[BRM494]

But you can get a new pair!!

Are you 100% sure ? I know, and own, other Janspeed Xpower boxes, ZR and TF, but when I asked last time I was there they said they didn't do the V8 Xpowers ???

If they did, then it's Salisbury tomorrow for me !

[BRM494]

No mention of ZT or 75 on janspeed website.

[T16]

Yeah I spoke to them.

They said that many of the optional ones fitted, the cars were brought in to the workshop and they made them to suit.

Also said the Xpower logo was fine to do.

Part is not listed as technically they dont do them anymore, but a group buy would be finanically viable I think.

He essentially told me they dont really want to do them as one offs, and would be far happier doing a batch.

Im happy to organise if there is interest?

Also I know for a fact its Janspeed, as if you call any Xpart dealer, they just phone Janspeed to enquire about availability!

However I suspect if you wanted just one pair made up and drove your car in, they would give you a high price just to dissuade you, as for them a batch makes far more sense.

Would be perfect if we could organise say 20 pairs. Id be perfectly happy to do it, but I suspect just 10 pairs might work out costly.

My own personal opinion is that out of all the backboxes I have heard, the Janspeed Xpowers were far and away the best.

Maybe if I get pricing for 20 pairs we can work off that, or maybe the club might be interested in taking a few?

[BRM494]

T16,

This has to be worth investigating. I would suggest you ask for a price scale to get an idea. Say 5, 10, 20, and 30.

I susspect, and it would be good to confirm, the boxes for Tourer and Saloon are the same, The inlet end is the same, and only the tail pipe is longer on the Tourer.

Also, Janspeed being Janspeed, might easily do either single large oval or twin round tail pipes ? (As they do, or used to do, for the ZR box, I have one Oval and two twin round.)

If the price is sensible then I'm in for a set.

(Tim, might need to start a new thread ?)

Bruce.

[SH4RKY]

err... Yeah interested in that T16!

[kcv]

Interested if they can be done for a tourer

[black olive]

and it would be good to confirm, the boxes for Tourer and Saloon are the same, The inlet end is the same, and only the tail pipe is longer on the Tourer.


confirmed. I can even measure up how much I cut off my tourer x powers to fit the saloon

[BRM494]

You cut up a set of Tourer XPowers !! :O):O):cen:O)

this is worth following up, but I'm sure we've been down this road before.

Maybe they were in an unhelpful mood last time they were approached?

:cool:

[T16]

I'll keep you updated when I have more news.


Cheers.

[black olive]

Yup, sorry. they were fitted to my saloon for some obscure reason, and the local chavs were using them as a climbing frame.

Now on Pesslings car

[ColinE]

I think it will all come down to numbers - how many sets of xpowers are really wanted, how many with a set will buy some for spares?

[T16]

Well does someone want to start a group buy thread for this?

I'll organise it, and give my details to the site admin.

We really need 20 people wanting a pair, to get the price down.

Can we start a list and see what the demand is like ?

Cheers

[ColinE]

I'll set one up, I'll keep it in the public for sale and wanted section for now and if an admin wants to move it they can

[pessling]

as per my reply on the other thread, Kevin at Zero's was starting to make ovals, and the quality would be better than janspeed i can guarantee that

[Tim]

Yep hopefully its coming to a conclusion so don't go jumping into something inferior just yet
