Anybody else see the irony in somebody text typing and then calling somebody else about their grammar :lolup:

You've got all the keys on your keyboard, try using the f**kers and stop making yourself look like a child with your text typing.

I give up on this thread

 

[Ad172UK]

Agreed, this should be locked now, all prices from different garages gathered and a new thread started for the group buy alone.

Poll which garage everyone prefers, if you don't want to go to the garage the group buy uses don't go through the group buy.

Although i'm not sure anyone has stepped forward as the organiser yet?

 

[Mostro]

I've been speaking to another guy from the forum about getting this done... [Jam-sport]

Price is around £110 including postage.
Refundable deposit of £50 would be required if the matched set is needed to be sent out first.

[AP Developments] £135.00 upon receipt, based on 3-5 people
£125.00 upon reciept, based on 5-10 people

if theres more people, then I can bring it down a bit more.

yup exchange is available.
If its exchange, then the £100 deposit is still applicable.

Is it possible for one person to organise it ammongst yourselves and email me at info@ap-developments.com?

cheers,
Craig

There you go. There's the first post of the new thread that is urgently required. Tigger, are you running this?

Childish behaviour has smothered this thread in my honest opinion

I am willing to organise a GB on matched inlets, if I could work out who "we" all want to get them from lol

 

[172Ben]

Anyone want to step forward to arrange?

New thread + poll. Robert's yer dad's brother.

 

[172Ben]

Ignore above, didnt see your reply.

Im not to fussed really, any thoughts?

 

[Tigger]

Jam-Sport or APD, who else is there?

 

[Mostro]

Dunno who else. IMO it'd be worth getting drive in/fitted quotes from each of the above too and then start a new thread with the two options above and get people to put their name down under one of two lists.

I'd do it but I won't be around much in the next few weeks, and I'm not even deffo in for this yet.

Probably worth confirming prices privately with each company too.

 

[172Ben]

Think i would prefer drive in fitted prices. But i would need to retain my existing lower inlet and plenum as, A the plenum is sprayed and B the lower inlet has been modified to fit the PTFE gaskets.

 

[Mostro]

I would because I have neither the time or the technical ability to do it myself! A few in the thread asked for the same.

 

[Tigger]

Sure we can ask for drive-in fitted prices, not much good to us over here though lol

 

[172Ben]

LOL, be abit of a trip

Do you mind asking re my lower inlet for me? Wether they would be able to match it there and then for me? How long does the process take do you know?

 

[Tigger]

I'd have no idea mate to be honest, would like to know myself mind-you

 

[172Ben]

Lets get emailing then

 

[Tigger]

Don't the PTFE gaskets straight-swap?
I have a set I got from Hill_Power_Clio on here to go with my inlets when I get them done

I'll get some Emails on the go over the weekend

 

[172Ben]

They didnt with my lower inlet. Needed to grin off abit so it would fit inbetween the head and the alternator braket thing

 

[Tigger]

Ahh bugger, big job?

 

[172Ben]

The kevs did it for me

Only needed about 2 or 3mm taking off, as the gaskets are pretty thick compared to normal

 

[Mostro]

Presumably, this is the RS stamp on the inlet? In which case I'm gonna leave the matched inlets for now and buy an RS Tuner instead

 

[franx]

^^ yep , RS stamped manifold

 

[stan*]

£135.00 upon receipt, based on 3-5 people
£125.00 upon reciept, based on 5-10 people

This includes postage.

Price including fitting would be those prices plus £40.

Yes I match the lower section to the head. Thats where a high portion of the gain comes from...I dont understand why you wouldnt tbh.

If your wanting me to do this work, please let me know asap. If not, then please let me know asap. Ive got a busy jan/feb ahead of me, so prior notice either way would be great, so I can juggle the diary...
Thanks

[Tigger]

Can the inlets be tweaked by whoever is matching them so the PTFE gaskets fit, or does the car itself need to be present?

 

[franx]

^^ mine were send over to Holland by BenR ; he heard of me ordering the thermal gaskets and he did some modifying of the inlets, car being in Holland ofcourse, and they fitted fine !

 

[Tigger]

Well AngelWorks have already confirmed they aren't able to take on the group-buy so that's that out

 

[172Ben]

Im with stan if anyone else is with me?

 

[Tigger]

I honestly don't mind who we run with, both quotes are reasonable and rep is quite good on the site

 

[Tigger]

Stan - can you modify the inlets so the PTFE gaskets fit ok?

 

[mattjk]

It's only one bolt that needs filing down not to hard to do it yourself

 

[172Ben]

i think he means match the ports to the size of the PTFE gaskets. But IIRC the holes are the same size as standard gasket ones?

 

[hill_power_clio]

many people dont grind off anything at all - the gaskets aren't that much thicker than standard but in some instances a tiny portion needs taking back which is literally a one minute simple task for anyone... and I do mean that. You could do it with a file.

The holes are the same size as the standard gasket.

 

[hill_power_clio]

NB: Nothing in concrete at all yet but it is plausible I will be doing business with Jamsport in the new year with these gaskets - meaning you may be able to get an even better deal on the whole package. Like I said nothing set yet - but it may weigh your decision on where this group buy is heading...

 

[Tigger]

Sounds good then

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

indeed, when i return to work on the 5th of jan i shall be hoping to finalise everything with the PTFE gaskets, we will be able to offer slightly filed down inlets to ease installation by DIY types.

obviously we will be able to do a good deal on inlets with ptfe gaskets for group buy reasons.

Trouble is this;
APD seem to be the favourite at the minute, which leaves me in a sticky position trying to organise this now

Jam-Sport are offering a slightly cheaper price of having the inlets done, along with a possible deal with the PTFE gaskets too.

For those who intend to have the PTFE gaskets fitted along with their inlets, I would say take advantage of a deal going on
if it does go that way and prices are reasonable

A few of you were also requesting fitted prices;
Jam-Sport are in Northampton and APD are based in Swansea
It would benefit the majority buyers to get their inlets from whom they are closest to, wouldn't it?

It's got to a stage now where it is VERY hard to make a choice without feeling like I've offended either company.
I'm happy with either from what I've read/heard so-far and so would be more than content to gather a few names for the Group-Buy.

 

[Papalaz]

Already bought the PTFE gaskets unfortunately, but would be very interested in group buy at Jam-Sport for getting inlets matched and gaskets fitted
