Where to advertise more specialised Stack instruments etc?

Okeydokey, to be clear, this isn't an advert!!

 

I Have a few more specialised bits of vehicle tech to sell; Stack ST700 dash system, AiM ViM module etc.

 

Whilst these have been advertised on the forum a few times, I'm aware that their also a wee bit specialised for the majority of Westfield builders. The Stack at least, is probably far more motor sport orientated.

 

While I'm happy to pay to sell, or join a forum to do so, I just don't know where is best. (Have tried Locost Builders, but these aren't exactly Locost parts, and now eBay's fees have got so exorbitant, I'm loath to advertise there).

 

Any recommendations on good forums/sites to move on motorsport electronics?

Ebay still definitly has the biggest audience. I only list now when one of the reduced selling fee offers is on, they usually crop up every month. 

 

I've also had surprising success on Facebook market place, the Westfield pages and on kit car bits group.

Facebook marketplace for me as well. Sold lots and bought lots through it.

 

Can be bit of a nuisance with people messaging all the time but in general is quite a good platform.

yeah used once or twice, similar experience with messaging. Might re-try though.

As others have mentioned I've sold quite a lot of items via Facebook Marketplace.  There are lots of groups that specialise in the various performance /modified car allegiances so I joined them all as I was selling items that were potentially of interest to them all.  Once the items sold I just left the groups.

Progressing, albeit slowly!  Currently fitting the bodywork (I'm trying to incorporate some of your learning with respect to improving airflow through the intercooler), then a bit of engine wiring and a few bits to tidy up and should then be close to getting it mapped!

 

Just in time for the Winter!

Brilliant! If you haven't, as soon as you're happy with the Rotrex's oil system layout, prime it while access isn't too bad! It's much harder with bodywork etc on!

Thanks, I'm going with some flared side panels to hopefully help with cooling but also so I can have better access to the SC once the car is 'finished' but thanks for the pointer re priming the oil system.

My engine bay temps are actually pretty good, thankfully, but the flared sides are always a plus; just those charge temps that need controlling!!
