Anyone want my headers?????? (for what i paid)

Chrome, feel free to move me into batch 2 if you want as i`m in no rush. I`ve offered them to John Banks by text, hopefully he`s still on same number. But, incase he doesn`t need them, is anyone else interested?

Cheers for all your efforts on this Chrome, nice one.

Feel free to move me to Batch 2 if someone wants theirs more urgently than me; I'm on hols as of tonight for a week, so would also save them being kicked around a ParcelFarce depot for a week, waiting for me to collect.

Cheers

Spen

aw shucks /kicks dirt

markyboy: will post your fuel pump as soon as I get down to the GPO and buy a jiffy bag then it will be special delivery over to you..

FYI: All gaskets were sent INSIDE the box!!!
Inside the ONE box are the headers, and upipe- snug isn't it?

thinkauto bungs arrive this AM despite me ordering late @ 1630 yesterday!
altho there is a minimum charge for postage of £2.50!#
top service!

Edinburgh Chris- your DP is coming DIRECT to you via EMS couriers!

Thanks for the Group buy, things are beginning to look sweeeeeet!!
I assume that a tracking number will come regarding my downpipe.
My other exhaust parts arrived today, Hayward & scott centre piece and backbox. My car is going to shatter windows at high revs.

Thanks again and i will drop you an E-mail when all arrives.

Best Regards,

Chris

Thanks Chrome, nice one.

Any of you guys fitting these headers to a Newage car? Would appreciate some feedback on performance difference - I have this mod in mind for the future. Also any useful fitting advice would be much appreciated (save me making same mistakes as you'se lot )

Can someone measure the internal bore of the headers before you put them on the car please, will save a lot of time.

ASAP would be really helpful.

Should there be a gasket between the up-pipe & the turbo? I ask cos I aint got one!

Will I kill the performance gains from manifold/up-pipe/down-pipe if I get a 'quiet' (that's a relative term of course!) performance backbox?

I am desperate to know what you guys all think of these.

I am thinking of buying some but waiting on your results?

Does the scooby burble change at all or do these headers actually keep it.

COME ON, get them fitted and tested, he he.


Regards,



Dave
