Have we any updates on this?

Does anyone have the guys contact details? i have a couple questions i would like to ask!

I was talking to him a few weeks back, and this was his reply. I’ve blanked some things out that is either sensitive or not relevant.

“No problem Alan
I’ve finished the manifolds, but again failed patent 3 times, this time ****** chipped in as I'm using there ***** throttle bodies. I'm not realy bothered at the moment, ALL the hard work is done R&D, the tooling, ultra sonic welding jigs and all the fixtures. I've spent out in excess of £11,000 now and I have 2x major companies butting at my feet and numerous smaller fish willing to take it all BUT IM IN NO RUSH. Its still going to be hot property at the end of the day”

Thats some really interesting information.... if you have the guys details then could you maybe ask him if the manifold will be compatiable in the ZS 180?

I have one with death rattle and i've borrow the ZT's new(ish) 2010 manifold with only 6k on it for now.
But ideally that wont last and i really would be interested in two manifolds, would really love to actually have a few emails with the guy if possible?

Reckon you could pm me an email address or ask his permission first?

Thanks!

The guy has had a rough year mate, so I’m afraid you’re just gonna have to be patient.

Not a problem, i assume it'll work on the ZS if its compatible with the ZT as bonnet spacing isnt much different.

Thanks for the update and send my regards to him, been a rough year all round!
I've only just popped back on here after being away for 12 months or so so this is the first i've read about a new manifold!

I'm also following this with interest.

I've had to disconnect one of my VIS motors, the wiring isn't too clever and it keeps blowing a fuse, preventing the car from starting.

Patents take a while to get through

So does that mean it's ready to go? Just patents pending?
