mine has arrived safely at my old man's house.

I'm going to see it 1st thing on Friday when I pick it up to be fitted along with the rest of the custom made stainless exhaust system

But now I have dilemma. how loud do I want it? what tips do I have fitted?

Just unwrapped mine too, lovely bit of kit. Apart from removing the old manifold I'm really looking forward to fitting it.

Thanks very much Joe and BTB.

Got mine at wok today, very nice. Got a pinhole on one of the collectors though? Will this cause any problems with the lambda readings etc?

See page 15, for my pics, I can let you have the details of the boxes used in my system if that's a help?

Picked her up after work after having the manifold fitted and a custom exhaust made

God she sounds awesome. I think I may have gained some bhp over the old Alpina manifold as well. Will have to get her dynode again

she was 206bhp last time i ran her. I went the long way home and even in the poring rain and miserable winters night i was grinning like a Cheshire cat every time i blipped the throttle

Gona find some tunnels on the weekend may make a video of it to up

For anyone who missed this particular offer I will welcome any new enquiries for another batch, but, as it is not possible for us to make anymore for at least 3 months the price will have to be revised to reflect the new VAT rate and any other increases in our overhead and material costs.
Please feel free to register your interest on this thread so that we can gauge possible demand before we can announce any future offers.

Any future offers need to be put by the team. It costs us a fortune to run this site every year and we don't see why we should offer a free platform for traders.

Point taken.

Drop me a Pm if you would like to discuss any future offers, I'm sure we can come to some arrangement that is mutually beneficial.

And my comment also sparked this Pm from someone who I shall not name

"Any future offers need to be put by the team. It costs us a fortune to run this site every year and we don't see why we should offer a free platform for traders."

Whilst I understand this, given the stern and somewhat abrupt message I now feel that I cannot approach your team or the vendor to ask about setting up a further deal with BTB.

Therefore I am now forced to no doubt have to pay full retail price and deprive other Zoners of a potential offer - much needed in these cash strapped times.

With that in mind - I suggest that you lock that thread to stop interested by-standers such as myself asking innocent questions and being b*llocked for doing so. I would also suggest strongly that you revisit having 'Traders' section on the webpage given your statements above about the price of running such a webpage.

Just to point out that comments made such as the above are a) unhelpful and b) off-putting to folks trying to find out information such as myself, so I shall be terminating my membership ASAP, encouraging as many other E30 owners to do so and find refuge in other Forums.

Thanks

Not quite sure how my post sparked this but I thought I'd let everyone see how some have reacted to it. I hope most see why I posted what I did and sorry if it did seem abrupt (posted quickly during a very very bad day)

To the person that sent the above Pm, I'm not sure why you got so offended. Hopefully you understand why I posted what I did.
