Looks like it does not apply for a turbo.

I'm in for one with the tow hook. I'll get the details from Eric. If color is an option, red will be fine.

Thanks.

Pete,
Correct it will not work with a turbo, something to do with oil charging system being in the way.

There are no issues really with the car running without the engine tray, bar some dirt. The main reason for the tray to come out IS cooling, this is so much better on hot days and track events.

Attention All:

By my count we now have 9 people who want 11 units.

Send me your checks and follow all my instructions outlined in my prior posts in this thread. Those of you that want color don't forget to add the extra $20.

When I get all the checks for those that said they wanted to participate I will go and make the purchase. If anyone backs out please let me know. I will not make the purchase until I get checks from all 9 people.

Should others want to participate after I post this message that's fine, tell me in this thread and follow my instructions as previously stated. I will wait for your check too before the purchase is made.

Should any instruction involving this purchase need clarification ask it here and I'll respond.

I had to grind down the top edges to get mine clear of the exhaust pipes and the studs. Robin must have some cleaner welds on his pipes than mine. Autometrics warned me this wouldn't work with a catalytic converter car, however, they've never seen me with power tools in my hands.

Still works really well though, plenty strong to hoist up the C4S.

Ron - I'm in for just the jacking point in grey. Check for $178.50 will be going out to you on Friday.

Just to clarify - are you mailing these out and then asking for shipping costs reimbursement afterwards? If so, mighty generous of you to float the cash for shipping, but I have no problem paying ahead of time...if you happen to have Paypal that makes things even easier.

Thanks for setting this up. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

David,

I'm paying the shipping and insurance and I'll write the cost on each person's box. Each person should then send me a check by return mail.

Be sure and check the list and make certain your name is on it and what I have you down for is accurate.

If you've emailed me but your name is not on the list you are not included. So for those of you who have emailed me and expressed interest you have not made it clear to me that you are in. So fish or cut bait.

In other words post in this thread what you want.

It's not the simplest task in the world for a disorganized person like me to keep track of everything; that is why I have a list in this thread. You know one central location to avoid confusion.

It is to bad we don't have a Group Buy Forum. One person mentioned it and I wrote to Viken about it. He told me he forwarded my request to John D as that was more up his alley. I've received no response John D.
