Yes, the Bimmer Twinky conversion turbo manifolds & dump pipes are done, pics shortly, we`re also right in the middle of making up some N/A extractors while we`re there, also pics of those soon, i`ll update this all next week when it`s all back here in my shed.

well it`ll all actually be back here friday but i will most probably be down in Byron Bay surfing for the weekend :-) so that`s why i`ll update here with pics etc--> next week :-)

BUT!!!!! if anyone is interested in a Bimmer twinky turbo manifold & dump pipe, it all Fits in under bonnet with no body mods & no baulk head box needed --or-- just a set of extractors for naturally asspirated Bimmer twinky application, then swing me an e-mail & i can sort it all for you easy-peasy :-)

Oh, & the hawk eyes among you may have spotted the "Coil-over igniters" ontop of the spark plugs yeah??? well that`s just to do with all that late model type engine management system type stuff.... you know, where theres no more need for distributor or cap or hi tension leads & all that old crap,,, all that sparking type stuff is sorted via crank & cam angle sensors & computers & stuff :-)

yes, well, thank you for noticing how nice & smooth my hands are, i use a special blend of elephant sperm, vitamin A cream, aloe vera & beer,,, works a treat hey?

Ok, ok, all jokes aside, i don`t really mix aloe vera in :-)

allright allright, seriously then--> It`s actually a girl holding the hair dryer, i thought that was only approapriate :-) & besides, the way she was holding it i could see down her top :-) It took me a while to sort the phone camera out so she had to stay in that possition for ages, poor thing, no bra too :-) filthy discusting girl should be ashamed of herself :-)

Gafmo,,, no need to be jealous/envious mate, all my conversion kits will be ready shortly & i`ve just done another deal for 10 more cyl heads this week, so even you can set one up :-)

I`ve also made the Jigs up for both the N/A extractors & the turbo manifolds so there`s no problem making them up at any time, quick as a wink & easy-peasy :-)

I`ve made up the plenum chamber & the swirl pot, all plumbing of the rest of the fuel system is allready in place, we`re just waiting on the crank & cam angle sensors, air temp sensor & map sensor to be mounted & wired in, then fit up a few more things like the intercooler & the oil cooler & we`re done. Jonno, (my main wiring man wires up the Stone Bros V8 super tourers) is finishing off all the wiring on this moke & then we will plug in & play with the tune of it.

stay tuned for more exciting adventures from Dork-man,,, er ,,, ar,,, i mean MiniMan :-)

Matt, you appear to be quite talented with the build of these things.... but.... your marketing skills are a little , um, shite.

I reckon you'd have done much better at the Muster by showing off the twinky in a semi well finished car rather than the heap o puss it was in. It just doesn't give the feeling of quality and completeness that the rest of the kit does.

You really need to put one in a well-finished car or set one up in an rhs frame so you can display it well. I know it doesn't actually make the kit better or worse but it's impressions that count when selling non-essential products.

Many good products sell badly due to poor marketing, don't let your engines be amoungst them.
