Talking The Bars are ready!!! The Group Buy is on!!!

The Bars are ready!!! The Group Buy is on!!!

These are the best bars ever made for our beloved 318ti’s without a doubt!!!

These new E36/5 318ti front bars work with the stock air boxes and should easily work with most any aftermarket CAI’s . They clear the stock intakes which is the stumbling block of most of the 6-cyl bars fitting our cars. They clear the battery box and allow for + height batteries as well. They are very similar in layout and construction to the Rouge Engineering RaceBrace made for 6-cyl E36’s as John designed and manufactures the RaceBrace for Rogue and these new bars give our beloved ti’s the same benefits over the average strut brace. They are very rigid and very light in weight, they are custom fit for our beloved ti’s and are tig welded and superbly made as it is recognized that John makes some of the very best bars in the business and has loads of real world race fabrication and engineering experience. These are very high quality and light pieces.

Carbon Steel weighs 5 lbs. with Raven Black Satin Powder Coat

Aluminum Alloy weighs 2.5lbs with Scotch Brite Brushed finish


Here is the deal:

Minimum for a group buy is a total of 6 or more bars in one go for these prices:

Steel: $250.00 - $25.00 = $225.00 + $28.00 shipping = $253.00 total

Aluminum: $285.00 - $29.00 = $256.00 + $28.00 shipping = $284.00 total

These prices are a minimum 10% off the normal sale price and include a small shipping discount to USA and Canada only, so John is offering us a nice deal!!!

All funds are to be sent to me either as cashiers check or money order made out for the total price listed above for your choice of materials along with your shipping addresses and phone numbers and e-mail addresses. I will keep you all posted and once a total of 6 bars are ordered I will forward all funds to Mason Engineering and he will immediately ship them to the address you provide. If a personal check is sent I will have to cash it and it may cause a delay in shipping and PayPal will impose fees that I will not cover so please send cashiers check or money order.

Place your orders and send your funds now!!!

Mav,
Payment should be sent to you Tuesday or Wednesday. Thanks!!!

O/T: My car requires towing tonight as it decided to protest the snarl of Lunalilo Freeway (H1) rush hour traffic and develop a coolant problem by way of massive leak somewhere behind the engine. My wife and I had other ideas for a flash as we thought to sell the 318TI and buy new! But reality kicked in and we will keep the car. . .

Sounds like the infamous plastic fitting at the back of the head. I am wondering if anyone out there has thought about making up a replacement part out of say a high grade stainless steel? Sounds like a niche product for sure, but might be a good project for a small shop.

When I get your order it will be 2 solid orders, so on our way. Please contact me any interested buyers as this is a great product at a good price.

Wow... why have I never had this idea when this suggestion has been made before. I'll make a call tomorrow and see if I can prod someone into doing something about that.
