ALL NEW...FFIM finally finished and ready for business!

[spoolme]

you said "either of the manifolds" so is there another version you have?
i only looked at 1 pic so i didnt notice if you have another one.

I hate to buy something and then "figure" out what the hell else i need. like cable wise and stuff. So your saying it will come with throttle cable or no?

Make her $600 including an alternator dropdown bracket or relocator bracket and you've got a buyer.

The throttle cable bracket will be included. I know what you mean though.
I face that struggle everyday. Its so hard to make everyone perfectly happy all the time as a fabricator especially. Everyone expects so much, big companies like GReddy, Apex-i, and so on sell products all day long, knowing full well that the buyer will need to make modifications, or need other parts in order to use them, but make no mention of that prior to the purchase. What I meant by "either manifold" is my exhaust/turbo manifold. Pics will be up soon.

Ummm...as I have mentioned, I don't own a Supra. I would need to have either a MK3 at my shop, or an actual relocation bracket in my hand to make them. I have about 10-12 hrs in these manifolds, plus material costs, $600 as is, is a fair deal.

 

[PowerTrip Performance]

Still no help on how to get into the Authorized Distributors section? please???

 

[buckshotglass]

PM a Mod. Ask permission.

Thank you. Any of them will do? sorry, not real savy on the forum thing yet? I'm slowly picking it up though. Remember, I am just a grease monkey lol.

 

[loki2043]

how long would you need a mk3 for at your shop? theres a lot of mk3's out here and if you get nobody i could swing by when my engine is done.

Contact GrimJack, he'll help you out. Good luck with your sales. Nice to have a choice and availability for products in demand.

While its apart is good for me, as long as the motors in the car. Maybe, we could arrange a hook-up time, I could stop by your place? I'll bring the FFIM and put it on your motor so you can get good visulization ??? ;-)

Thanks a lot! I just hit him up. I heard that Ron was "taking a break" from building the FFIM's so, I worked extra hard on these for you guys, changed my design 3 times before finally being happy with this one. I do plan to stick around making these for a while. I am very curious as to why Ron, is not making them anymore though.

 

[NashMan]

ummmmm hate to ask but ummm did you take in the point of the brake booster looks littel fat on the end of it

in less this one does not use studs and just uses bolts

are you goig to answer this qestion or have a pic of it installed

I don't mean to sound like a jerk...but I didn't spend 12 hrs building it to f#@% it up by putting a overly huge fitting in it. It has a 3/8" hole, same as the stock manifold. This will work correct?

 

[Reign_Maker]

I would like to make this official, how do I become a authorized dealer on Supramania? Please any advice would be great! Thanks

Sell a few, gets some feed back, get back to me...

Mind if I give my feed back initially from what I've seen in the pics?

Welds are a little globby, I know aluminum is very hard to weld, I used to be a weld inspector, if you could pass an aluminum weld test, you are the man... Maybe tighten the weld bead a bit...

I dont know if Im feelin the shape...

Did you port the insides?

Honestly, my intentions are not to try to compete with Ron, only offer a little bit of selection.
***********************************
I have a feeing I am going to be hearing a lot about these relocation brackets, someone hook me up with the specs and I'll be happy to machine them.

Then buy a 7M, and use it to mock up drop down brackets instead of asking one of us to send you ours to copy... Or ask Ron if you can buy one of his and see if he minds you using it to copy... Im pretty certain Ron spent a pretty good amount of R&D to get his two sepperate brackets to fit and work...

Theres got to be a critic in every group I do appreciate the feedback. As for the welding, it was done with a spool gun, not tig. I'm not sure if you've ever had any run ins with aluminum spool guns, but anyone who has used one, I am sure will be very impressed. My tig machine recently took a dump on me, so I have had to learn to be really good with my spool gun I wasn't feelin the shape of any of the other manifolds available, so I came up with this. I like it. I did port the inside, I will get some pics on here as soon as I can get some good ones, it looks very much like velocity stacks. Should flow very nicely. As for the relocation brackets, man...you guys want everything handed to you on a silver platter lol...part of customizing cars is coming up with some stuff on your own...can't mail order everything I have a 7M laying around, but still probably need a Supra to make sure it'll actually fit and function. Ron is the man! I agree. If I can only make a manifold will you hate me??? ;-)

This is a pretty big group, and if you have been through our "Build/Gallery" forum, you'll see we have some pretty critical critics here, lol...

Good luck... I hope you do well, I wish you well, Im ALWAYS glad to see people making parts for our cars and supporting the community... You put a few of these together, sell them, get some happy "critics" and we'll talk about getting you in the misc vendors section...

 

[loki2043]

well my motor is not in my car ATM. im getting the block back tomorrow and getting the head resurfaced and checked out. im looking at least another month out. you could try posting in the northwest section for somebody to do the mockup with.

 

[drjonez]

flow data?
