Hi mate I got a PM from Ollie Bwoii...

Mike,

Erm I can't remember the packaging tbh, mucho alchohol has been consumed since then. Think it was the remains of a shoe box???? No return address, sorry.

Sorry, can't be of much help,

Ollie.

I guess the extra one is mine

any rough estimate of when they will be ready? im in no hurry just wondering as if it will be another week or more i can dip into the money i put into paypal for it and just start a transfer of however much i spend back in tomorrow.

seen some bits on ebay i fancy

[e301988325i]

Go ahead and spend your money. Due to the nature of slipping them into a very full schedule of work I can't give an exact date, my machine has been set on one job for the past two weeks and that's only 75% finished

[tomislav]

The one is the box is mine mate.

I've pm'd ya too.

Silly me!

[tomislav]

Any progress on these mate?

Mike

[e301988325i]

Apologies everyone, I've not forgotten about you. This is not going as quickly as I wanted I assure you.

Alex

[badassyas]

hey dude, thats understandable, just to let you know, my point of begging will me from Sep 8th.

[cplagz]

Still a spot to jump in on this run?

[e301988325i]

Sorry No.

I have to go to work tonight to finish off boring out 2 throttle bodies, after that there's just a bit of fettling and reassembly. I'm hoping to post them out first weekend of September pending payment. The two guys in Australia I'll box them up, get them weighed and get back to you with postage prices. . .

[m_jermyn]

Thanks mate I have to say im like a little kid waiting for christmas..... I cant wait to see these things.... I love craftsmanship, when I get it I will probably just look at it for a few hours

Mike

Well, got my extra TB in the post a couple weeks ago. Do I need to wait until you get another batch ready to go before you will do any more of these?

[Scruffymurphy]

Sorry no more, I'm afraid this group buy from me is now over, my circumstances have changed and my spare time will be eaten up by my new job and going back to colege .

My fixtures, one for TB's with CMM positioned holes, one for the butterflies, eight off 64mm butterflies, £250, pics on request.

[badassyas]

this is exciting stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[m_jermyn]

Money sent mate... You have a PM

[tomislav]

Money sent fella

[Taylor325i]

Payment sent.

Cheers!

Taylor.

[e301988325i]

All posted at lunchtime, UK TB's by special delivery, will be with you tomorrow fingers crossed, if not Monday, Aus guys posted to, I'll refund M Jermyn and MorerevsM3 £5 each as the postage wasn't as much as expected.

[DmcL]

coolness.. cant wait to get mine fitted and see what sort of difference it makes along with my MAF conversion. ill probably need to have a new TB gasket on standby tho, doubt my original has ever been removed in all the years the cars been on the road so the gasket will probably be mush..

[badassyas]

may be advisable to change the coolant flange gasket and 3 screws too...

[town325i]

Not really just by pass it connect the two coolant hoses up why would you want hot air going into your engine

Mine's been on and off a dozen times with no problems. . .

Will be interesting to see how much you have to increase fuelling. . .

[Taylor325i]

Just received mine in the post. Will fit it later and let you know how I get on.

Cheers!
