For 15
Well, it looks like I could do it for $40+$5 shipping, including 2 new gaskets.

$45+ shipping including new bolts.

I believe the studs are M8-1.25 thread and 2 inches long. I will have to double check that though.

I need info on the 99+ models with the electronic throttle. TB gasket part number, verify stud dimensions. I know there have been a few people that have this spacer on the later models. Depending on how many have this later model, I might have to make one up, send it to someone to try and and make any modifications if necessary. Or find someone local to test fit. Depending on what info I can get.

If anyone has a TB(both types) laying around they could loan me for a short while, I'll give them a $20 disount on each one. I just want to be sure everyone gets one that fits their car perfectly.

I would like to do this all in one shot, I don't want to have to keep inventory around and the hassle of running a "business".

I'm in for $45.


QUESTION:

I have an SLP CAI. It looks as though a spacer would cause the intake elbow to hit the black cover over the radiator.

Any thoughts?
:D

Just an FYI that resulted from my continuing experiments with TB spacers ....

The factory studs are actually M6 x 1.0 ...

I haven't yet gotten around to pulling the "oddball" bolt and checking it ... is it likely that this one is the M8 x 1.25 ?

(I'm just being a little lazy ... I am eventually gonna' have to pull the thing off and check it myself :D )

That sounds acceptable. For $45 I could go for this without a doubt Dee. We all really appreicate you doing this for us here on the board! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

you gonna organize the group that wants to buy them?


;)

[Cale]

WIth a guarantee of no hassles on my 2002, I'll buy it for $45.

[DEE97GTP]

Is there still interest in these?

Not sure of the compatibility with the SLP CAI.

If you are definately commited to getting one, please post. I won't be ordering a couple hundreds dollars worth of material without firm committments.

If there isn't much interest in these, that is fine too. Just need to know whether I need to pursue this further or not.

Depends on how much these will cost i will get one if they dont cost me an arm and a leg

[Cale]

Assuming $45, yes, I would buy one.

[Seppo Kaitainen]

[GoodOneStu]

For $45, I'm in as well

[White 97 RS]

hey DEE,
i was wondering if you were going to make a spacer for the 3.4L??? if you are and would you would charge 45 i would be in.

[Ttop34]

Just curious, how soon would you make these? Denison is my home town and my little sister is coming out to Lubbock some time this summer. Maybe we could send a couple for Matt and I that way rather than shipping them. Or I probably should visit the parents some time too. I'm a little concerned with the fit with the Whisperlid though. If it still fits with one count me in.

[DEE97GTP]

I don't see why I couldn't make one for the 3.4L. I would have to get a little info, and maybe leave the bolts up to you. If anyone has pics of a 3.4L TB, that would help as well.


I know on shanes 98, if fit with a whisper lid.

Right now, it looks like we only have 8 or so. We need about 7 more or there is no way to keep the cost down. Once we have about 15, then I will start accepting payments. Maybe we can get a few more people by the middle of next week and I can start collecting money and ordering all the materials. Hopefully a couple of weeks after that I will be able to start shipping everyone their spacers.

As far as time, I would like to test fit a 2000+ model and a 3.4L, hopefully someone local. Then I will proceed with making the rest.
