The fix for Cracked Ebay Manifolds.....
 

Make a new one with quality parts!

Just another warning to anyone considering buying one of these manifolds, They will crack and crack again and again no matter how many times you fix them.

NO WAY!!!

This is a radical new finding never before discovered by anyone in the turbo miata community

Just reiterating that message to the noobs.

Ha

if only they listened

Edit: Good job.

For a 1.6 it does the job, The downpipe has been modified already for a better fit. Some day A 1.8 swap may lead me in a new direction, but this is plenty of fun for now.


I couldn't have done it without the help of zipstrips on this forum, I did all the cutting he did the welding.

The fix is to not buy one in the first place.

For a moment, I expected to see a pic of one in the trash.

I can add another pic with the old one in the trash as its useless to me now.

One of the good things about the UK is that they are difficult to get over here, well not difficult just cost due to postage.

hahaha This is exactly the picture I had in my head when I opened this thread!

Gotta love homebrew fabrication! Beats paying an arm and a leg for one anyday

once i get settled back in AFG i have a few more photos to upload of it.. should have shown the old one in the scrap pile..

i can offer this for entertainment until then...
