Is the "Firestorm"in the ad's description an error - surely SP1 or 2

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

41mm?
Too small to be of use.
You may as well fit the set from a late Varadero.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Are they not 49mm? They definitely look homemade. Wonder if it actually worked

I don't think they are homemade but I also think the seller maybe wrong about them being for a firestorm. The box is by these people.

I don't think they are homemade either. If they are then whoever built them was pretty handy.

Looking closely at the pics it looks like they would fit into the carb rubbers. I've messaged Racetech to see if they remember being involved.

I got a reply from Racetech. It basically said the ECU is now unsupported and that they couldn't help further.
