anybody got a forge dv for sale ?
« on: 24 May 2013, 22:19 »
Evening all,
I've tried in the wanted section but no joy.
Moderators, could you please leave this here for a short while to see if I get any offers, I'd be very grateful  :smiley:

I'm looking for a forge dv , either a 007p or a 008. If you have got one for sale or know of somebody, could you please let me know.
Thanks

P.S.... The reason I'm not buying new is that I'm on a tight  budget and got other bits to buy for the car aswell. And fleabay rip you off or I'm not lucky enough to grab a bargain  :rolleyes:

if youre on a budget there are copy diverter valves on the market. may be worth a try.. although i bought a cheap one and the spring ended up snapping in it. the moto is buy cheap buy twice apparently..

Yeah, I'm not looking to go for a cheap one. I'm just looking for somebody that's selling one for a decent price. But it seems as though these days if something is worth £100 new, people are trying to sell whatever it is for £80. Money grabbing b****eds  :rolleyes:

Unfortunately while there is a demand for something prices will remain high. I got mine from awesome gti, I'm sure it cost me £70 a couple of years ago. £110 now  :shocked:

I'll leave this until tomorrow :wink:

bargains always turn up if you look in the right places  :wink:
i would give this a try tbh, it looks like an exact copy of the 007p.

if the spring is sh!t, ive got a green you can borrow until you get  a yellow.
also, whilst doing some research the other day, looking for info on actuator springs and fitment, im sure i found evidence that forge dont actually manufacture all of their items, they just brand name them and if thats the case, the above DV could be exactly the same as a forge DV. it certainly looks identical to me.
does the awesome gti valve have forge engraved on it, anyone???.
