intake
Afternoon all,
Just got back from the workshop working on the ideas for the carbon fibre air intake system. While there we knocked up one of the 'standard' type air intake tubes and have decided to offer these as a stage 1 kit (please forgive the blue silicon in the pictures if anyone wants one it will come with black silicon and stainless jubilee clips.
The major difference between ours and the normal ones is that you dont need to cut the oil breather hose or even replace it! this tube will accept the jaguar push on fitting, reducing the need to chop yours and allowing you to return to stock easily and without damage.
Also the end nearest the cast part of the inlet has been shaped to better resemble the oval shape providing better asthetics and a smoother transition from the round 3 inch T304 stainless pipe to the oval.
I can offer these for Ł105 complete with the 2x silicon joiners (in black), polished finish and 4x stainless jubilee clips plus fitting instructions. Installation should take no longer then 15-20 mins and the gains have all been proven. I will be doing dyno comparisons between stock, stage 1 and stage 2 (carbon full intake) as soon as the carbon one is done.
Delivery costs to the UK will be Ł5, if there is any interest from abroad will get the shipping costs for these as and when.
Some pictures.

The tubes will come polished as in the picture and fit very well. (It was raning on this one!)
Attachment 159240
Turned stainless fitting TIG welded to the tube for jaguar oil breather hose.
Attachment 159241
Standard oil breather fitted (sorry about the pic quality)
If anyone is interested let me know and we will go from there.
Cheers.

Hey guys, would love to buy a Stage 1 intake tube from @caldoofy . Unfortunately I live in North Carolina in the US and ebay (I tried the link above that Jaroslav provided) says the seller wont ship there. I had already made the new member post but I'm short on the post count to PM. Any help getting in touch to order one would be great! Also, any thoughts on swapping out the stock exhaust for the Adamesh performance exhaust? Not trying to get into a complicated job, just something I can jack up the car and swap myself. Thanks everybody!

Unfortunately I have no current way to ship outside of the UK, the eBay global shipping just kept returning the tubes and normal postal options do not allow correct payment until after the parcel is delivered and some people I know ended up payments jg more than the cost of goods shipped due to the ever changing import taxes, tariffs etc.
As you can imagine this has severely reduced my market and eBay have been as much use as a chocolate fire guard!
As for the exhausts I was looking at over Ł400 delivery plus all the extra charges!
Best regards,
John

Ahh I didn't even think about that. What is your typical turnaround time on producing these? I'm planning a "footballing holiday" in December and depending on how much various things would've cost to ship, was considering picking up all parts in person and just eating the cost of extra checked luggage on the return trip. My trip has no set itinerary but I was determined to make my way up to Newcastle regardless to see St. James' Park.

The problem is the same (if not worse) as they want fees for documentation completion and tax it really is a nightmare
