Thats how the standard fitting is on a BMW system.

[cliffybabe]

ah so the scorpion zaust centre is at fualt deep joy guess ill be busy tomorrow then

[Chris]

Ooh, thats gorgeous Cliffy.

Sorry cant help on the connection issue but can i be cheeky and ask who polished that for you and really cheeky how much was it?

Also anyone looking for one of these needs to give BTB a ring. They are taking deposits for the next batch.

[cliffybabe]

Cheers Chris, Joe at BTB got me hooked up on the polished manifold

He was the one who suggested it, he lead me astray

[Chris]

I'm sure it took a lot of arm twisting

Hows about a list for the next batch then, so we have an idea how far along we are?

EDIT: Valid point from Clarko. Lets wait for BTB to let us know how many they've got set.

Cheers
Chris

Nothing is at fault its how they are!
You will need to reuse the existing flange which will slide off your old system. Use new seals here too!

BTB have already started their own list for the next group buy, it could cause problems if a separate list is started here. If the people on BTB's list do not put themselves up here and it fills up it could cause confusion leading to disappointment for some. Do you think we should we wait for Joe to post the list up?

[cliffybabe]

Clarko, i know u like mine the other night

Its now fitted up aswel

[Chris]

Hmmm,

Shame the heat sheild's aren't polished though

Chris

[Nay]

Cliffy, thats one dangerous looking bay....

Keep chroming stuff and eventually it'll blind you!

[e301988325i]

cliffy, I hope for your sakes you don't have to work on that outside on a sunny day, you'll get chrome blindness!!

[clarko74]

I did indeed Cliffy, and you're right the photos don't really do it justice, looks better in the flesh (or chrome!).

[gooner1]

Picked my full system up yesterday.
On looks alone i,m very impressed and

Certainly are, and here,s a few pics of it.













......and as a little bonus for Cliffy, this was outside a neighbours.

[cliffybabe]

That its all about the

[e301988325i]

Here's some pics of mine. . . I've never seen such neat welding, I'm going to have to increase the lambda wiring by about a foot upon fitting. Then it's back off to the dyno to see the results!!





Just had mine fitted and mated to a (shamefully) powerflow system. although that was £500 less overall. I've got to draw the line somewhere.

Sounds so good, and makes a funny whooshing noise under load which I can hear through the bulkhead. It's busy at the mo so I'll go and give it a caning later!!!

I have two cars.

As for the HT, i,m happy with that too Trev.

Perhaps not the right place to discuss it though.

[e301988325i]

Took some pics today in the light. Definitely happy with the end result. I've had to re-route my oil temp and pressure lines as they were a bit close to the new manifold, not too much trouble though.

Still havn't managed to go out for a drive as I've got lambda trouble, bloody things are so hard to diagnose, without a working replacement easily available.

[knightmare]

I'm interested in one. A few quick questions though

Did Joe manage to make them to fit around the modified steering rack?

And has anyone any idea how much he is charging for the next batch?

[e301988325i]

Hence btb'3'. It clears my E46 rack perfectly.

My list reads like this:-

All deposits received with exception of one who is waiting for new card.
I will keep you posted as to progress, but it looks likely that they will be ready for delivery in about a week. We should end up with one extra spare if someone wants to dive in quick!

Chris

[knightmare]

Just got off the phone. I got the last one

cant wait to get it ... performance manifold and uprated steering

[cliffybabe]

I drove my cabby on Sunday and the exhaust system sounds wicked, im running a scorpion centre and rear box with the BTB manifold and cross pipe

Prior to the BTB i was running a Alpina manifold and the sound now ive changed them over is cracking, it sounds more powerful and the car feels more grunty if u know what i mean

Ill try and do a sound clip and video this weekend

thanks again BTB

[456lbft]

Jane will be ringing those on the list on Monday for final payment. All six are finished.
Thanks to all.
