still waiting

 

Hi chawkins before i consider, Can anyone tell me is this LT fit right hand side steering wheel in United Kingdom?
Thanks?

 

All,

Question on tune here. Do I need to get my car retuned before install or can I do it after? I know with the 180mm pulley install, it HAD to be retuned before install or the car would have major issues.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Alex

 

You will be fine until you get a retune. Just don't take it out and do pulls.

 

Thanks! I'll try and do the retune first, basically a Stage 3 Jerry tune, but just in case it's good to know I won't hurt the engine if I do the tune post install.

Can't wait! And Chris is doing the install as well for the entire system so can't go wrong with that either!

When is your eta for receiving them?

 

three months from now

 

I don't have one, but I told Chris I'm cool to have mine last (yeah I'm a nice guy, you're welcome) .

I'll drop him an email today and ask. Honestly I'm cool with waiting as these are "hand crafted," and custom fabricated rather than mass produced so if they take a bit longer, I have no problem hence me volunteering to get mine last.

Sending Chris and email now and will let you know what he says.

Thanks.

What long tube headers for the E55 are massed produced? Pretty sure they're all "hand-crafted", regardless of manufacturer. Same is probably true for shorty headers as well.

Timing of delivery of this group buy is a function of how many "hands" are actually assembling them; hence the longer delivery schedule. I'm not disparaging the product at all, but there's nothing particularly special or unique about how they're being produced. Jeesh.

 

I just thought, "Hand crafted" sounded nice to be perfectly honest.

 

LOL u guys are funny

 

so only 1 person has received the product?

 

for some of you in question, You guys have to understand a few things....

1) Chris is Hand fabricating each set with little to no help.
2)The Orig. Deadline was about 2 months from final payment. (Considering there were alot of people that dragged getting the payment sent on time it held up the order of all materials,flanges,steal etc.)
3)There is a BIG savings here over $1,000 dollars, Is that not worth some value.. I think it is... Thats the point of a G/B
4)For those of you that are worried about added time because of the last 4 sets added (Those are not getting touched until the 10th set is out the door.)

Keep some of this in mind as chris is working countless hours to complete the headers.

Chris has advised me that 4 sets are out at coating right now. So the should be shipped out in a few days

 

It was worth the savings on the group buy for me....even if I have to wait 3 months or more to get my hands on them. Just keep us posted.

 

Progress Report??

 

Need to sell my headers! $1500 to anybody who wants them

 

Mikey - do you actually have yours?

 

Nope still waiting. I want to give up my spot because I want to do the e63 conversion instead. I believe whoever buys them will probably receive them in one month or less from now.

 

Could we get an update on this??? A few days has now turned into a week.

I get the one man show thing that Chris has going at the moment, however this is seeming like its has turned into a casual project.

 

Yeah, this is turning into an F*****G joke. I forked over $2500 for the full system and I am pissed to say the least. I asked him for my money back as this is ridiculous, this is the email I got, name is even wrong:

Hey Greg,

Materials have been purchased and everyones headers are being built including yours. You were made awhare of the approximate build time of 2 to 3 months from the time the last payment was recieved. Even though you didn't participate in the original list, I accepted your order and gave you the group buy pricing a month after we began. Due to the nature of this project and the large amount of money required to complete it, I can't refund anyone. Have some patients, and you will recieve your headers soon. I'm building 15 sets of headers, some with exhaust systems, and each set requires 25 to 30 hours to complete. These are very labor intensive and require this time to make sure everyone gets a quality product. I promise you will not be disapointed with your headers! The fastest E55's in the world run our headers for a good reason!

Thank you,

Chris

 

I will sell someone my complete system which ships this week for 2500 including any fees i will just have them shipped to you instead of me.

 

Why man why?

 

off topic but where is Alan these days...guy has been mia for a while

 

 

This is a good sign! I was starting to lose interest and patience.
