lol saw the manifold at the show and cringed at the £1200 price tag for £12 worth of steel
but did not see the vx did it come back yet?

vocky

the manifold is made from inconel notsure.gif

Inconel is often encountered in extreme environments. It is common in gas turbine blades, seals, and combustors, as well as turbocharger rotors and seals, high temperature fasteners, chemical processing and pressure vessels, heat exchanger tubing, firearm sound suppressor blast baffles, and Formula One exhaust systems

so not cheap :lol:

the vx220 has either left the country or been stripped by now :roll:

I have spoke to John and there has been no sign of it at all.

update 🙁

Not much to tell. Police reckon they've caught the bloke but there is a lot more to the investigation and now two police forces are involved. Car has not been recovered. I got a few emails from people saying how a guy on PH had been selling "race parts" and those details have been sent to police who's tech crimes peeps are investigating. German police now involved too as the indication was that the car had been stripped and sent over there but in short I don't think the police think they will recover the car now.
