They seem to rust up quite a bit. Already booked mine in for fitting Friday morning so won't be able to get any in time. I was under the impression they already had some sort of coating on them anyways or is it just their coating isn't as good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd probably spray some on a cloth and just give them a good wipe over 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a paint type coating on but it comes off in places (from the set I had mainly around the top mounts and bottom bracket / mounting). I was surprised how much rust there was within less than a year on the set I had in these areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Things we get on pallets are always spotless and leave our warehouse without any marks. It's down to UPS when it leaves us. Even then, UPS are usually good. Things we get in boxes, like TEIN products and other things we do not usually bulk order often arrive slightly bruised to our place, but we aren't actually allowed to open most of the things and check as it would void the warranty. There's only so much we can do, therefore it's always best to collect but I understand it's not always possible. Thanks Lucas. Also just wanted to clarify that I don't have any problems with the service I received from you guys, it was excellent, your staff were very friendly and helpful and always kept me up to date with my order promptly. I was also pretty surprised how quick you got them in, I was expecting at least a week or so wait if not longer, not a weekend. I collected my set and the box was indeed in good condition from the outside and there was no way for you to know about the condition of the inside packaging without opening it up which as you said would void warranties etc... My only complaint is with Tein's poor packaging of their products. Oh and that my bank balance has dropped considerably because of your offers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah ok, does the ACF50 have to be applied to new stuff or can it be applied later down the line, although obviously not as ideal? If so, I'll get some and have it applied on the next service or inevitable mod install. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It won't gaurantee no corrosion but will help 👍 1 HariboPenguin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ade 517 Report post Posted September 14, 2017 Just wanted to say cheers to @Lucas@PartBox for sorting me out with new discs, pads, bolts and a cosworth Sump Baffle. Great service, even sent me picture of the parts before I ordered. 2 Lucas and surrey86 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted September 14, 2017 Same, thanks @Lucas@PartBox. Even sent me a black rubber cap for my coilovers as 1 of mine disappeared in transit; also Thanks to Tein for agreeing to send it. Now my OCD will be under control... as will my body roll. 1 Lucas reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ade 517 Report post Posted September 14, 2017 It does look better than other designes. Has the rubber trap doors and also the stand up baffles to help guide flow as well as stop oil sloshing about and being sucked up the bearthers. Its was actually designed and fitted to the cosworth dev car two years ago. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ade 517 Report post Posted September 15, 2017 The Bluemoon and Cusco look like the same in design to me - one being vastly more expensive! I'd say the cosworth baffle is far superior with the vertical scrapers stopping oil sloshing around above the plate and also both those designs dont have trap doors near the edge so oil can get stuck at the sides above the plate during cornering. Not to mention the cosworth has 10 trap doors vs 6 in the others. At £150 its a bit of a surprise if part box can get any more in! I'm quite careful with oil mods but I did have the moroso junk baffle fitted and it caused oil starvation due to poor design. Thankfully I picked it up on my pressure gauge on the way back from fensport and alarm bells were ringing. If it didnt have that pressure gauge it'd be a case of "knock knock, who's there, big end shells!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a Moroso hanging on my garage wall and cant decide if I want to modify it and fit it or just go with another baffle thats proven not to cause starvation. 1 Ade reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it works, it shouldn't make any difference as I dont get oil surge currently with AD08Rs... but those used BTCC slicks might 2 Rich and AJ124 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
