it still doesn't sink in !

also, why would anyone want a £2.50 fake cap?
just what is the pressure rating, do the valves work properly, will it overpressurise your system and burst something, will the sticker come off first time it gets hot?

oh dear.

I'd guess so, but to be honest I don't know what I'm looking for, there isn't an STi stamp on it anywhere it has 1.3 bar and made in japan stamped into it wither side of the sticker and the general feel of it I wouldn't expect people to pay the full prices people have mentioned, i'll grab a couple of photos of it if you like?

Got mine today plus a HKS filler oil cap for the same price. Spring pressure feels identical to my Apexi rad cap and heavier than my standard cap. Oil cap is perfect and with both for a fiver delivered how could you go wrong?

Anyone else get offered the oil cap?
I'm happy anyway.

Well I was first on the list and never received the link so beat that (I did ask a few strategic questions after being told "the catch" and it all went silent)

Just make sure, those that have received them, to test these out properly (ie pressure test them) as I have heard of the fakes (which I agree with other comments that these probably are) causing vacuuming in some cases and too much pressure in others. Both of which are not good.

of course they are fakes, FFS!
wake up and smell the cheese,
Did anyone bother to read the links I posted?

Not happy?
use the trader score system then!
ie ' I paid £2.50 for a £35 pink thing and it turned out to be a fake!'.

+1

As said before the OP did state they could be fake hence why only the p+p payment. It is unfortunate that the OP did go in order of who posted on the thread first but that's down to them.
