VWR Intake disappointing
AJP:
This is disappointing. I've been keeping an eye on this with the fact in mind that there are loads of you guys in the crap predicament of having put the cash up for what you thought was a product deserving of the cost.
It was encouraging that they did listen initially. If there's one thing that sells a brand to me personally it's their aftercare. But it just seems to have fizzled out. All credit to Kev and the rest of you for persisting diplomatically though.
Maybe the thing that irks me most is that some of you guys on this forum could undoubtedly design and (with the kit and tooling) produce the proper revision that Racingline are dragging their heels on. And the majority of us don't even have day jobs in the tuning industry.
All you can do is be patient, keep knocking. Again, credit to you for pushing this. I hope something comes of it. Otherwise they're simply losing a swath of customers, and it doesn't take long for a good word or a bad word to spread far and wide in this day and age of instant information in a small world.
Maybe the best option is just the standard airbox like has been mentioned. It works. Ok, you might miss out on a bit of power right at the top, but is that caveat worse than the caveats the Racingline (and most other) intakes bring to the table?
Anyway. I'll keep checking the thread. Keep hoping things look up. Good luck.

Still nothing new yet?
This is quite poor really.
The rubber strap on mine broke within two weeks of VRS fitting it.
For the asking price you’d expect a really high quality product. 😩

Indeed! If I had access to their CAD gear and 3D printer, I could have made the changes myself months ago :grin: It started out really positively. As I said a while back, they had already designed the improvements on their CAD gear whilst I was there, so I can only assume the delay is with ITG. But the onus is also on Racingline to chase them up regularly on our behalf, which I can also assume isn't happening. The irony of all this is small companies hate bad publicity and get all defensive when criticised, but they bring it upon themselves. How difficult is it to pick up the phone to ITG and ask what the progress is? 30 seconds work, ffs.
Maybe we should send a kit over to China and get them to copy it with my revisions. Sell them from underneath Racingline's feet, because they clearly aren't interested in bringing this to a satisfactory resolve. So let someone else do what they can't be arsed to do themselves?

Nope, nada, diddly squat, square root of jack. As I said, there will be zero f'cks given this side of christmas.
Yep, due to excessive movement, which one of the engineers at Racingline is in complete denial about. A cheap rubber band is laughable at the price anyway. How on earth are ITG a supplier to F1 if that's the crap they sign off?
Well given the fact I can't sell my kit, I think it's safe to say the word is spreading about the epic awfulness of it. Look out for a Black Friday deal on them on Awesome's site :grin:
