Almost done, I just need to do alittle more welding, and then they need to be painted. I think they will be going out this weekend, aside from paint, I dont see why they wouldn't.

Big thanks to Jeff92se for letting us use his welder

 

sweet! thanks man

i don't see MAF adapters in those pics

 

shawn, many thanks. i'm ok with john, btw. no worries. this has been a long one. thanks to jeff as well for furthering the cause. just verify with john that he has my addy.

 

I got dibs on the "Dr Pepper" CAI

 

Keep people updated. It's been 2 months since I paid, email contact stopped over a month ago.

I've been paitiently waiting, that's why. I would rather give the benefit of the doubt than post what I really feel.

 

Sweet, sounds really good. Do you think you can comprise a list of people who will be recieving them after you ship them out?

 

I'm not shipping them, or atleast I dont think I am, really its funny I'm doing this much, I'm not getting anything from it, except to help you guys out.
I'll try to get a list from John.

 

im still curious on what the deal is with the VE inductions. ship date ??

 

I dont have a ship date, I can only estimate that it should be this weekend.

 

MrGone, YGPM

 

man that close ? thats better than i expected !!

 

Hey John, Don't forget about mine. Its supposedly been done and painted for a little while now with no money to get it shipped out. Ordered in October Red VG Midpipe with adapter. Hope to see it soon.

shawn, i will send you some little green duckies for you troubles, if you want.

hopefully they are done or will be done soon.

 

hahaha, na, no green duckies needed (well I want but no! hehhehe)

One thing though, since John postponed his trip back up here from this weekend to next because of scheudle conflicts, they wont be going out this weekend. Right now they are all sitting on my work bench

 

maximum3rdgen, I believe I have your intake right now, lol. John left it for me so I could use it as a model to build the others from. If I can get a 3" hole saw I'll try to make some MAF adapters too.

 

okey day.

i went out and bought the dremel disks for cutting last night too.

 

Umm i ordered a complete kit, does this include a maf adapter? Isnt the maf adaptor used to connect the intake to the engine?

 

yes thats how it connects. well i hope all goes well and these get sent out soon !! the waitings killin me !

 

Jared, Rey was talking about needing Dremel discs for cutting the hole in the fender, not building MAF adapters

 

Wow this topic is long now that i look at it. 186'th post and no intakes yet. I must say though, i am very appreciative of your help mrgone, as it wasn't your imparative. I'm sure John can't thank you enough either. Since they didn't make it out this weekend due to scheduling, when are these scheduled to ship out?
(red full VG CAI)

 

how about a ship date for all of them the VE and the VG CAI, plenty of time has passed and money has been paid. Mr. Gone my thanks go out to you as was stated before that this isnt your problem but you stepped in anyway however these things are goin for 40 bucks on ebay now they are getting delivered. i paid 160 and i still have nothing. please guys i can only be a cheerleader for this project for so long. its getting old now, lets wrap this up ! jsut send mine unpainted ill paint it myself

 

i am so absolutely frustrated, guys. i'm with gowirelessnj: send them unpainted. i don't care. i feel that my words fall on deaf ears. c'mon shawn, what is going on?

 

There are 5 unpainted and 1 painted VG tubes in my garage. Not the full CAI, but just from the throttle body neck to the MAF. John was going to pick them up last weekend but ran into some trouble so he should be up this weekend. I'm not going to mail them out because I dont want to be responsible for anything getting lost (even fully insured and all of that), and really it isn't my responsiblity to mail them (I will if John/someone gives me money to, and John tells me to, but I'd prefer not to).

 

So he's coming up this weekend to weld, paint and send them out?

 

shawn, the town-crier in sixty...thanks for the update, buddy. we need the full CAI tubing ensemble, though. ring us back when that is getting real. otherwise, i'm good again.

 

I'm not sure what he is planning. The only reason why I have the intakes was because John was saying with me while Jeff let him borrow his welder. John had to go back home and he didn't have them all done yet so he asked me to finish them up. He should be coming up this weekend to pick them up, and really only to pick them up. This weekend I am helping a friend put a Fidanza/ACT on his car and that is my first priority since he is coming in from out of town and will need his car to get home to go back to work after the weekend.

I have been hounding John with these exact same questions for a while now. He does know exactly what he owes each of you. I'll try to get a list from him, it's just he isn't online very much so that makes it hard.

Also guys, I think he wants to grind down the welds so the pipes look clean and smooth. The painted one I have has the welds filed down. I started working on it, but with out a vice and just using a hand file, I think I'll leave it to John, lol. I dunno, maybe I'll try to use some sanding drums on my die grinder to get it smooth. I'm also out of town right now guys, so I can't do anything with them right now.

 

that is the best update of recent times. again, thanks, shawn. i am chill.

 

you da man !

 

Just an idea. If you guys can accept them unpainted, it might speed things up just a tad. I know you paid for a painted piece but at this point, I'd take an unpainted one and paint it myself.

 

i'd take an unpainted one only if it was prepped to paint.

 

Personally I'd take it bare and have it powered coated. I'd be more concerned about getting the parts asap than what they do for "prep".

 

i'm saying that the pipes need to have any detritus, phlegm, dross, all smoothed out from the welds. as far as actual wet sanding and all of that, no. i'd take them unpainted in that case.

if it is a matter of true hopelessness and further pain, true lack of resources and time and whatever this is all about, then f*ck it >>> if the pipes are welded, ready to function, unpainted, but rough, then what the hel... send them. i can use a grinder and sand them down myself.

is this what you mean?

 

From what I saw, the pipes were welded pretty nice. My welder uses argon/co2 so the welds are decent(John is pretty good anyway) and there is minimal splatter/slag. If it would speed things up a little, consider just taking them they way they are. Because they would only need minimal prep anyway.

 

ill take it unpainted if it gets to me faster, just weld it and make it look nice and ill prime and paint it....sounds ok to me im in !!!!
