[bruinbear714]

84-86 cougars and some merkurs use that turbo.. its a Garrett T3

[S14Swap240sx]

im glad to see we are so close to 10 people!! awomse job fiznat.. i cant wait to get my manifold

[fiznat]

Thanks S14Swap! I cant wait to get mine too!

Currently we have a few people who are saying they want to be the 10th person... all of them are waiting on one thing or another: be it a compression test or figuring out flanges. I think we'll make it no problem- at least ONE of these guys has to come though!

6 days left!

[fiznat]

hey guys, WE DID IT!!!

we got the 10th person in with his deposit today, it's all clear sailing from here on out!

just a reminder that the GB ends on the 6th for anyone who still wants to be in on this deal, and to everyone that is already in, dont forget that you are going to need to call up and pay the remainder that we owe once the GB ends.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone!

Just to clarify - do we need to call in to pay the remainder, or will that automatically be taken care of since etd has our payment info?

Jim?

[fiznat]

I THINK were going to have to call in. I'll check with Jim to make sure tomorrow.

[Jim@ETD]

Unless anybody has any other request they will all be charged before shipping on the existing card numbers you have all given me.

Thanks guys. If we can get a few more in during the next few days that would be great.

[fiznat]

^^ well there ya go! Jim I think Im gonna call you up and make my payment a little bit early if thats alright with you. Money sitting in my account waiting to be withdrawn is NEVER a good thing for me lol...

[Cam]

Nice work guys. Big thanks to Foster & Jim for getting this GB together!

[Jim@ETD]

No problem at all. If anybody else wants to do that as well just give me a shout or shoot me an email with your name to [email protected] and I'll look after it. I know how it is with money burning a hole in your pocket

Money burnt through my pocket...

I am a newb here at this forum, but I came across your group buy on the manifold I have been looking for. So I thought I would get in on the action. Hope nobody minds.

[fiznat]

hell no, why would we mind?? the more the merrier!

...stick around for a while too, why dontcha Welcome to NICO!

[fiznat]

WOW, we're up to 13 now! I didnt expect such an amazing response from you guys! Thanks so much for making this happen for all of us!! Everyone involved, we definetly got an excellent deal on an awesome manifold, I cant even tell you guys how happy I am that so many of you have come through like this! Thank you!!!

[Naro182]

so i used my moms credit card for this and she was checking her account and noticed something from exotic touch...she was like what is this? some sort of porno thing? she was a little pissed, i couldnt think of what it is, and then finally i remembered what etd racing stood for. yeah it was pretty funny...

[Nathan]

You should DEFINITELY have told her it was for "something that brings me more pleasure than an inflatable woman or a simulated vagina " That would have been very amusing.

[Cam]

Yeah the 'Exotic Touch' thing on the VISA scared me too. Didn't think I was THAT drunk last weekend... haha. Jim should totally change that to 'ETD Racing' or something.

[Jim@ETD]

Sorry guys, guess I should have told you about our side business. With every manifold you're all going to get one member of the Swedish bikini team mailed with your manifold. Then you will truly understand where the name "Exotic Touch" comes from. :ylsuper

Exotic Touch Design was the name of the business originally because we were a detailing shop. A lot of people were thrown by the name (not picked by me hahaah.) so I made the gradual switch to ETD Racing which we all know it as now.

Sorry to anybody's mom who may be mad. However I am pretty good with the ladies so I'll exotically touch any MILF's necessary to keep you guys from getting in trouble

[bbandit]

LMAO!!! is that for real? we will get a swedish bikini model? but yea, cant wait to see the finished manifold...

[Big Manne]

how long will it be before we receive the manifold ?

[bruinbear714]

how long will it be before we receive the manifold ?

I know they're probably busy working on the manifold, but I also would like to know whtat's the status of the manifold?

[fiznat]

Jim said that he should be ready to ship about 2 weeks after the group buy ended. That would put us at the end of this week. Ill call Jim and find out if you guys want, although he said that he would post up pics of them as soon as they started coming off of the assembly line.

[300max]

I'm just curious if you guys have received your manifolds and if you had any review information, especially fitment. Thanks

[bbandit]

i called jim last week and he told me that the manifolds will be shipped this weekso yea.. hang in there bud

[bruinbear714]

i called jim last week and he told me that the manifolds will be shipped this weekso yea.. hang in there bud

Any updates on this?

[bbandit]

sorry man.. i was about to call him today.. but i totally forgot..i'll call next week...last week, he said it should be shipped this week

[gldnwolf77]

yeah, I could use an update. I wrote an email asking what the ETA is, but I got no response. The manifold is the last piece of my turbo puzzle. So an ETA would be very helpful

[fiznat]

I will call tomorrow (Monday)

[bbandit]

i called jim a while ago..He said the manifolds will ship em late this week or early next week..it turns out that he has to do and extra 5 manifolds..the manifolds ordered from this group buy alone are 18so 18+5= 23..he said he is working as fast as he could.. but he doesnt want to work on em soo fast cuz he wants to give us the best quality that we can have..so lets give him a little more time for this.

[S14Swap240sx]

awsome! i cant wait to get my manifold =)

[fiznat]

yeah sorry this is taking so long guys... I called jim today and asked him- he told me the same thing that he told bbandit. I asked him to make a post here himself to avoid all the hearsay etc... so hopefully he does that

again to those who are waiting on this as the last part of their turbo setup I apolgoise for all the time this is taking.
