Awesome! I just ordered all of the materials.
However... prices on phenolic material has gone up 20% since the last time I made these and so has shipping. I have to raise the price to $150 for the full kit including domestic USPS shipping.

Please confirm that you are 100% in by sending your payment of $150 to my PayPal: j@bigfishmotorsports.com
the full kit which includes:
$128 for the spacer, extended studs, and phenolic washes
$12 for the 2 gaskets
$10 for domestic shipping (international will need to be quoted case by case)

IMPORTANT! - Please chose "send money to friends and family" via PayPal so I don't the fees. I make about $5 each on these kits and that's about what the fees are.

Make sure your shipping address is correct!

Also, Please keep in mind that this is a "minimum 5 unit pre-order" deal. I cannot process these until I have the money in my papal for 5 kits and they take about a week to make depending on the schedule at the water jet shop.

If you are in, please be prompt and get your payment submitted so we don't have people waiting on you.
If you want one of these kits and your name is NOT on this list, let me know ASAP.

So far, I have confirmation from zero people?
Who's in and who's out?

S14's use rubber isolator blocks between the head and the throttle bodies. They often crack and the 46mm ones used on stock US-spec cars are no longer offered by BMW's parts department. I'll try to come up with more info and pics. Being in aviation we use a lot of phenolic day to day, one of these days I might try to fab some up from scraps...

Edit: here's a recent thread on here about the problem: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=187777

You can get aftermarket ones from ecs i think. I bought some not too long ago they were cheap.

[ccsdo5]

Money sent!

[JiXer]

Got it! That's 1 out of 5.

[JiXer]

Are we doing this guys? I need confirmation ASAP?

[e304me]

Im in will try to send today

[e304me]

I sent my payment. Hopefully others are following suit

[JiXer]

Got it. Thats 2 out of 5 so far.
I will need to start trying to sell the remaining kits to others or cancel this run.
I don't want to be holding these two payments for too long.

How much for just the studs and gaskets shipped to 92504

[JiXer]

I'll have to figure it out tomorrow and let you know. Curious why that's all you want?

[freakingerble]

A friend of mine bought one of your spacers a while back and he's going to do a swap. So he gave the spacer. He tried to take out the studs to give them to me, but used vice grips to take them out and really messed up the threads on all of the studs. Tried to save them with a die, but they are not worth saving.

[JiXer]

So with having only 2 payments and no other interest, I will be giving this until the end of the week before I send payments back to the 2 people who have sent them.
I don't feel right keeping the money any longer than that.
