Not standing up for josh, but out of all of the manifolds he has built it doesnt sound like hes got to bad of a failure rate. there is a failure rate in anything you do. its simple. not to mention, this was one of his "first" manifolds, so you were ultimently the test mule. that obviously came with the price. Look at people like James @ BMC. He used to sell manis at somewhat cheap prices, now his game has stepped up a notch along with his prices and with the pics of his boosted s2k it seems as if he isnt doing to bad for himself.

josh's only downfall, he needs to organize his ----. im guessing that he probably had no idea how much this ---- was going to take off nor what was involved once it did take off. didnt he start this as a side job...

 

^^ i agree but this was not his first manifold. That was made with his miller nig, not the smiley madness yo!



undercut? maybe a little bit, but i'd rather have it undercut than not welded

 

I checked out some of RLD's other stuff he has pictured and they all look 10 times better. Great welds on the other pics. Maybe this was an early model.

 

The above manifold is welded by the same guy that used to do most of Pheonix Turbo's manifolds. From the looks of the welds, they appear in one shot undercut but the closeups show otherwise. I'd the welds are probably just fine as these welds show some penetration rather than just some surface welds that don't appear to be undercut.

 

I can't believe hotrex's welds look like that after your 300+ manifolds

 

I can't believe you really think his 300 was even close to a realistic estimate.

 

You give people too much credit. Remember, these are the same douchebags that expected something to be shipped on time from Hotrex.


I never would have thought other people's misery could be so hilarious.

 

you guys truely are ------- *******, congrats on that

 

That pretty much sums it up.
