E30 Zone

is there anybody who is interested in purchasing a btb manifold as a group buy. can anybody set this up .

I'm interested too. Anyone??

I'm also interested. So that's 3 of us already.

I'm interested as well.

I'm interested as well.

count me in desperate for one!

I'm interested too, depending on cost

I'm interested in a BTB3!

have spoken to the suppliers they are over a 1000 pounds to buy. there dont want to set up a group buy? if sombody orderd 10 units the price is about £700 they want to also send manifolds to one place? what do u guys think

Yes count me in

Interested, but what about full system?

not sure about full system? will contact them again. may be we should all contact them tell them we are from e30zone. if they get a lot of interest may lower the price? what do u guys think

Is this BTB direct?
They sent out the manifolds to each person on the group buy when I had mine from them, not to one address.

BTB won't set up a group buy, but offer a discounted price for a minimum order (usually 5 or 10).
It's up to a member from here to set up the group buy and sort out desposits etc. Once the manifolds are done, each person contacts BTB to pay and the manifolds get sent out to each person once their payment has cleared. That's how it worked when I had my BTB from a group buy on here.

is the manifold worth the money. is there any gain in hp?

the price for a btb manifold+down pipe is 1120+vat. THEY will be making the next batch near december time. They will give a discount if somebody purchases 10 but they want the money form one person and will send item to one addess this due to problem with previous group buys? so is they anybody still interested in treating your e30tys. let us know.

Yep, I'm still interested, as long as it is the BTB3 for a M20 which clears an uprated steering rack.

I am in too if that's the s50 one .

For the S50 manifold you need to send them a standard S50 manifold and they will modify it to suit your E30.
As below.



The m20 BTB3 is totally different to the above S50 one!

I'm potentially interested in a M20 one - keep us posted. December seems far off..

I could be interested in this, but who's going to set it up and do it ? No offence but i certainly wouldn't feel comfortable with sending 700/7k in total to someone with 12 posts on here

Is this still happening ? I'm really wanting one if not I will just go to fritz . How many people are definitely buying ? I'm plus one if its concrete .

I don't think it matters how many posts someone has. I can't see anyone handing over £1k to someone they've never met!

I can understand BTB may of had issues with group buys in the past, but reckon they've done themselves out of a few grand by wanting payment from one person

im in to but have to wait till december they are not
making any till then. also have to pay full wack unless we get 10 or more people ? also if we get 10 peaple dont now how its going to work they want to send to one address? i think who ever is interest ring them tell them from e30 zone if we get 10 they may give us a discount. dont know any other way to set up?

count me in on this if it ever goes ahead.

I would much rather pay 700 than 1k plus, but from a logistical perspective I can't see this getting organised,

we would need 2 investors coughing up £3500 each, and zoners would have to pay 20% premium, so £840, the investor makes money to cover this time, and zoners save money about £250, and BTB deal with one customer only so everyone laughing.

This would work well if the two investors also wanted one themselves, therefore slashing the cost of theirs by £560,

i want one too, cant see why each person cant deal with btb direct. one person arranges the deal with btb and we see if theres enough interest.

everyone sends there manifolds and deposit or full amount to btb

prob a lot of time wasters and so fourth, people bailing out etc.

I would be keen im building a fast road/sprint 325 and the manifold is the most important part for good power. dont want to spent 1 k though! Does anyone on here have access/the ability to weld manifolds because we could buy one to use and copy it. i however cannot weld shit otherwise i would be churning these out myself. Apparently they are just slightly improved hartge ones.....

has any body tried this before is it poss?

is this happening ? i need to get a manifold for my car .

There's some confusion here I think. Some people are talking about the BTB manifold for the M20 engine and others the BTB manifold for S50 conversion.

A group buy will only be for one version of their manifolds as they will make them in batches. You won't be able to have a group buy of some M20 and some S50 manifolds.

I want an s50 manifold

more info on manifolds have spoken to btb they have 6 units in stock. The price for one unit is, i hope your all sitting down its £1328 incl vat thats right £1328.. now some better news they will do a price for 5 units for £936 each. They want all money from one person and will send items to one address unless we pick up . SO we need 5 people to start with these are for m20 engines. The number for them is 01327261797 . pls let us know if anybody is still interested.

They are very different to Hartge ones and some eastern european outfit tried to copy the BTB one and failed. The copies make no power and there are fitment issues.

What ever happened to this thread? Is it live?

£1328 Prices have sure shot up!!

I didn't even pay that for my donor car with a 6 month old BTB fitted.
