Thanks Cliff...I am working on it....slowly but surely....lol

 

Lookin' good so far dude! I love how you did a decent merge collector. Better get some heat shielding queued up too to protect the firewall and valve cover, hee hee.

 

yeah and the brake lines running to the daym DSC....

thx Ryan!

 

Trickle X is your turbo manifold completed yet? Is it in use now???

Jeremy

 

Not yet, Jeremy....I actually sub'd out the finally tig'n due to having time only to work on everyone else's cars. I am hoping to have the manifold back this week or next then on to fab'n up the downpipe and IC piping, then fire time....its been waay too long since she breathed fire....

I was wanting to do the intial manifold to completetion, but I sold my DD and needed to get it on the move...I will probably finish the other two myself, when the mad rush slows down....ha

 

Hey man! Looking good! Missed ya at the dragon this year, I had my car there... LOL oh well... keep up with the pics and stuff... loving it!

 

Yeah Chris, I wanted to go, but the MINI was a no go and I wasnt gonna go 2 years in a row without my MINI!! I will keep it updated...but I have 2 cars I am working on now plus all my customers....which come 1st :(

Cole

 

Any updates?

 

Hey Cole what's the news?

 

Just got off the fone with my welder and he is just now getting around to it. He's been busy on offsite jobs for the past month, so he is just now trying to get caught up. I will post pix when I get it back!

Thanks for the reminder to call!

 

That kind of sucks, but it happens. Can't wait to see it.

 

Dood why did it take me soo long to find this thread???

Haha... told you all I'm slow.... on and off track...
Dude it's lookin awesome! Way better than that "nameless" TC setup... better get it done and out here so you can race Kal... haha.....

 

Has it made any progress?

 

Finally its getting on the tig bench.......only 5 months later...gesh...should have it back for fitment this week or next...

I went with a world renown local tig welder, but if I would of known his backlog was this long, I would of source it out to a number of other pros....or just should of welded it myself after seeing the manifolds some shops were selling this past weekend at h2oi....

 

Well its good to know that it is still moving Hope that your Mini breathes fire soon

 

So how is this project coming along?

 

Its on the lift...i got the manny back from the welder for test fitment..he has it back to finish off the remaining welds....

Taking waaaaaaaaay too long....in the intrim I bought a bigger badder tig machine and will be doing my own welding from start to finish in the future for normal turn-around instead of a lifetime......lol

 

FINALLY ! ! ! I have it....in my possesion, sorry, I only have phone pix, & i dont want to post those, as you cant see it in all its beauty! But let me tell you its a piece. For the tight tolerances we have on cylinder spacing and the sizing of the collectors, its a tight fit & the welder that i had do the final welds did an incredible job. Took him 6 hours to final weld, but it was well worth it in the end due to bolt clearences. This should work out very nicely in the setup. I will post final pix of it when I remember to take my real camera to the shop.

 

Wee oh weee. Post pics!!

 

Great to hear...now get that beast breathing fire!!!

 

that's a nice looking manifold. Looking forward to some #'s
