Alunox 321 SS Manifold for Esprit Turbo Group Buy

[Chillidoggy]

I'll be settling up first thing tomorrow.

I'm going to ask a favor of some of you guys.

 

If you don't need your part right away, could you kindly ask the folks making them to ship yours towards the back of the pack? For some of us, this could mean that we get to drive our cars this year. It'd make a big difference for me, and I'd really thank you for it.

I'm in no particular hurry, Dan.

[Chillidoggy]

I've paid, so I guess that's 10?

[Trevsked]

If anyone is interested I have two on order and currently need neither so they will be available.

Could be 11 by now as Spud did reply to me.

Trev, they're 10 a penny mate. I could do you a favour and take one off your hands for a monkey.

Just an update, Alunox have started production this week on the manifolds, I will get some photos as things progress. They are making 15 in this batch as there is enough stock of raw materials. So there are still 4 left on this Group Buy if anyone is interested.

Good news! Mine's rapidly becoming a tractor, so the sooner, the better.

[Trevsked]

Well it's the same colour as a JCB.

Yup, and Evo still scored it higher than yours.  But I'm not gonna rub it in.

Ok, been on the other forum "across the pond", and am now looking into this group buy.  Sure enough I have a crack but no soot yet.  Is this now up to 15 instead of 10?

[MarkKassim]

Hi Jim, Yes the GB is now up to 15 and production for all 15 has started. I can add you on here if your interested and you will have to contact Nicky at Alunox with the payment details on +44 1978 851100. She will be in on Monday.

Mine is becoming a diesel These cars have their own personalities for sure ^^ 

[xmission]

Anyone started receiving anything yet?

 

I'm chomping at the bit. If I got mine today, I'd probably be able to drive roughly 75 days before I pack the car up for the winter,go off for vacation for two weeks, and come back to snow.

 

It's been a tough couple of years for Lotus driving. I ripped my shoulder apart three years ago, and couldn't really drive it for the first two years after surgery, and didn't have much os a chance last year.

 

I'm excited about the car again. I'm putting in aluminum tanks at the same time, and with the exception of my cracked sunroof glass, the car should be pretty well sorted out when it all comes back together.

[MarkKassim]

Hi Guys, Just an update. The components have been fabricated and cleaned ready for final welding and assembly. I will try and find out more this week.

Anyone got a tissue?

[rotaryspeed]

Anyone got a tissue?

Nope, just used the last one ...

[Sparky]

The wife's gonna be furious about the curtains.  Again.

[xmission]

That's awesome Mark. Thanks for the update.

[Sparky]

Aspirational delivery date?  If all goes well, my manifold will be off this weekend.

 

Not that I'm in a rush or anything...

[Dave Freeman]

Great to see others adopting the new manifold, Garry - you will be soooo pleased, more response greater performance, hey may get one for wife. Lol

[glynherron]

Hi Mark

Are you able to confirm that the current group buy will be manufactured with the latest redesign brackets etc due to the issues regarding the brace?

Thanks

[Dave Freeman]

What issues and what brace?
