Sound! Is that with or without VAT?

Either way I'm VAT exempt :flipbird: So under £500 is looking good. I may have to pay full price though and hopefully shipping wont bugger me (only to the Channel Islands) and claim VAT back.... then pay the sodding 3.5% GST (but only if the customs catch it (Some days they dont :D))

Keep us posted, but I get paid on wednesday so if all is good, I'm in!

BTW, Martin, should we now set up an Official BTB3 manifold Group Buy Thread for definates, now we know some better figures, or wait for a response from Joe@BTB?

I reckon, wait for a responce from Joe as the new thread will end up the same as this if there is still more info to come.


I know Seany (Da4x4turbo) is out now though as he's after picking up an S50 to drop into his chariot, lol.


Few people over here would be interested too but one of them must sell his BTB2 to be able to make up the funds...

Don't be so sure, whydo you think more of the BTB2's wernt made.

Getting poeple to put names on a list and part with cash are two different things.

It looks very close but may just be the photo.....

I'm still here... (so 2 more...!)

Moneys tight, but I'll be doing my best to stay in.

Are we going to be dealing/paying or speaking to Joe directly or do we need to group up the monies?

Ideally I'd like to speak to Joe about splitting my payment so I dont empty my account this month...:? (most this month as deposit, finalise it after the 26th of this month when payday returns :D)

Also, when Dano0 gets round to confirming if this fits both rack types, then should we set up a definate group buy section? (or keep it slightly hidden from the rest of the world 8))


Oh and Dan, whats it like? Any feedback?

The more the merrier guys, so yep - still available. Once Dan0 has had chance to confirm that the new design 6 branch fits both racks, I or someone else will start the official group buy thread.

Money will be direct to BTB, so credit cards won't be a problem I am sure.

clearance is good i can get my hand around all the steering gumbo and rack ect ect fitting was fun to say the least you will need to raise the engine a few inches i just undid the engine mount on the nearside and raised it up then fit the rear exhaust section first then the front then lower the engine as the exhaust wont fit until the engine is back on its mount and the its just a bit of jiggling to get it to fit

INPOTANT NOTE
if any of your studs come out when removing the old manifold just replace them or replace them all any way as the depth of the flange is different and you might snap a stud trying to wind a already stuck nut down a old stud
secondly you will need to tighten the nuts up evenly
hope this little bit of information helps. any other problems with fitting post here or pm me or call btb
