the price aint bad

Tue Jul 25, 2006 4:58 pm

i would think being from the states it's LHD only mate

Tue Jul 25, 2006 4:58 pm

Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:04 pm

how u know that?

Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:06 pm

Because there are a few headers that are made for LHD and give better gains due to more space as the manifold is on the right hand side of the car. and RHD cars theres is a steering rack

Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:06 pm

That is cheap,just over 200 euros, and i'm LHD

Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:09 pm

know where i can get a rhd 1 for that money???

i see 1 on ebay the other day, wanted bout 800, i aint never spendin that!!!

Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:12 pm

Not sure maybe 2nd hand one. There about 700 i think in the zone shop. not sure of the power gains tho

Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:12 pm

love second hand as long as the price is good

Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:15 pm

It's less than 150 quid, for a brand new 6 branch!! Can that be right??

Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:19 pm

thats exactly wot i was thinkin? Ã‚£less than Ã‚£250 for a ceramic lined 1 aswell!!!!

it looks just like a magnex or gumball special alpina type that we get over here except LHD.

one flaw though, it says the primary pipes are not equal length. I can't see why it should be like that as it's LHD and they have all the space in the world to get it right without the steering rack in the way.

If i had a left hooker M20 i'd buy a Sebring manifold. They are the business as is all sebring stuff. No they don't do RHD ones!

From what i know is if the primarys are short like this one the only gains u get are all top end rev range, more so than the btb we have here.

i dont see why it wouldnt fit if your in doubt contact them?

It would foul the steering rack mate

Tue Jul 25, 2006 7:20 pm

Sorry but I cant see why, its all down that side already they wouldnt change the routing of the manifold for it being rhd, surley they'd move the colum over abit to make space for it

Tue Jul 25, 2006 7:21 pm

nope they used a different fitting manifold seeing as they had to remake it for RHD anyways

Tue Jul 25, 2006 7:22 pm

u can't just move the sterring column to make room for an exhaust manifold that will give u about 5bhp if your lucky on it's own

what do u reckon on this 1???

Tue Jul 25, 2006 7:25 pm

Not me, the fella that designed the motor

Tue Jul 25, 2006 7:27 pm

what the long header type? still won't fit

wheres the steering column going to go through all that lot?!

looks a better effort and similar looking to sebring and supersprint manifolds but they are all no use to us RHD boys, which is a shame but there u go!

Tue Jul 25, 2006 7:35 pm

Sorry for sounding like a twat but i still fink itl fit il email the guy he should know

Tue Jul 25, 2006 7:46 pm

it wont

Tue Jul 25, 2006 7:48 pm

nah my bad i just spoke to the fella, he,s not certain it wont fit but pretty sure that it wont

Tue Jul 25, 2006 8:00 pm

i e-mailed the company earlier askin if they make a manifold for rhd models - no responce yet but i'll let u all know!!!

Tue Jul 25, 2006 8:08 pm

USA only worries about usa!!! they won't even know what right hand drive is

I've been down this road and many other zoners!

Tue Jul 25, 2006 8:17 pm

i got a response sayint that they are LHD only - so i told em that they r the talk of e30 zone at the minute and they could hav a lot of rhd customers if they develop it - no reply as of yet, dont ask u dont get, if u dont get they bastards!!!

Tue Jul 25, 2006 8:54 pm

Surely if enough people make an enquiry for rhd versions they will take notice?.
We all know money talks,especially in the land of the dollar.Just e-mailed them myself.

Tue Jul 25, 2006 9:22 pm

how do get a rhd E30 to USA then for them to do it?! because i expect there are none over there tbh

Tue Jul 25, 2006 9:39 pm

And you have to think of the quantity of rhd e30 enquiries compared to the number of rhd sales they will actually get. Not worth their trouble imho.

Also think of the shipping and import taxes.

It could be done but we don't have access to a RHD car to fit a
proto type onto. Has no one ever made these? If we had a sample we
could easily make a jig.

- the responce back from jeff ireland engineering.

any1 got any ideas how we can do this????

id be up for that wicked idea mate, if they dont make one maybe if we could get enough interest they would make a rhd version
