he offered me $500 for mine.... I told him, I'd keep it.

$1000 US plus postage. I would have considered it. ...Maybe

true that speedway stuff will soon move on to more modern engines,
it's started already in the east, is it mini sprint cars have amalgamated classes?

is he still chasing manifolds? i have one! mint.

pfffft who cares leave him to his own devices weather he is dodgy or not

really cant see how they are actually worth that, how could a twin outlet a14 manifold with a bit of work done to it not perform just as well

Maybe he's just won the lotto, I would probably be doing the same thing if I did!

Sounds about right Dodgeman...but why he feels the need to gloat about it on this forum is beyond me. Surley that would be working against himself?

It's a simple plan that profit driven parasites have followed since the invention of greed.

nah will be less than 10years before they are replaces. i see suzuki ga13 being a likely replacement- heaps of them around and cheap. will put out more power than an a series too.

just need rwd conversion,at think of this, if the speedway guys do that- it will be easier for the rest of the world later on.

The GX manifolds will come round again, at some point the A series engines in speedway cars will be replaced by something else and then all this stuff will be on the market. This is always cyclical, I've seen it on various cars and bikes...............look at muscle cars, people ponied up huge dollars for them then they tumbled like stock prices.................cast iron GX manifolds don't wear out...........of course it could be 10 years before they are cheap again.
