EU referendum: Out vote 'would risk jobs', say bosses http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35636838 What leaving the EU could cost travellers http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/comment/what-would-brexit-mean-for-travellers/

Letter by Simon Sweeney in the Guardian: "What did the EU ever do for us? Not much, apart from: providing 57% of our trade; structural funding to areas hit by industrial decline; clean beaches and rivers; cleaner air; lead free petrol; restrictions on landfill dumping; a recycling culture; cheaper mobile charges; cheaper air travel; improved consumer protection and food labelling; a ban on growth hormones and other harmful food additives; better product safety; single market competition bringing quality improvements and better industrial performance; break up of monopolies; Europe-wide patent and copyright protection; no paperwork or customs for exports throughout the single market; price transparency and removal of commission on currency exchanges across the eurozone; freedom to travel, live and work across Europe; funded opportunities for young people to undertake study or work placements abroad; access to European health services; labour protection and enhanced social welfare; smoke-free workplaces; equal pay legislation; holiday entitlement; the right not to work more than a 48-hour week without overtime; strongest wildlife protection in the world; improved animal welfare in food production; EU-funded research and industrial collaboration; EU representation in international forums; bloc EEA negotiation at the WTO; EU diplomatic efforts to uphold the nuclear non-proliferation treaty; European arrest warrant; cross border policing to combat human trafficking, arms and drug smuggling; counter terrorism intelligence; European civil and military co-operation in post-conflict zones in Europe and Africa; support for democracy and human rights across Europe and beyond; investment across Europe contributing to better living standards and educational, social and cultural capital. All of this is nothing compared with its greatest achievements: the EU has for 60 years been the foundation of peace between European neighbours after centuries of bloodshed. It furthermore assisted the extraordinary political, social and economic transformation of 13 former dictatorships, now EU members, since 1980. Now the union faces major challenges brought on by neoliberal economic globalisation, and worsened by its own systemic weaknesses. It is taking measures to overcome these. We in the UK should reflect on whether our net contribution of £7bn out of total government expenditure of £695bn is good value. We must play a full part in enabling the union to be a force for good in a multi-polar global future. Simon Sweeney, Lecturer in international political economy, University of York"

Welcome back!!!

Mayday, Mayday, we are going down! :lol: Guys, Joke aside, as you are aware of the current political situation with UK vs UE, also known as BREXIT, the GBP is being "massacred" by the US Dollar, its lowest level in seven years and its largest daily drop since 2009. As a result, we had to adjust some of the prices for the products imported from USA. If the situation changes, we will keep a close eye on the FX rate and re-adjust the prices accordingly to provide you the best possible prices in UK as always.

Some background good to know before making an informed decision: http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN06091/SN06091.pdf http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2016/01/graphics-britain-s-referendum-eu-membership http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/may/14/brexit-what-would-happen-if-britain-left-eu-european-union-referendum-uk http://www.huffpost.com/uk/entry/9272944

You can have mine later this year By then it would have a lot of TORQEN products on it, including the BBK we're working on already

China is the largest producer as you can see, Baoji has hundreds of factories that produce titanium parts from aviation to water sports, car parts, medical etc...

Correct, UK has the largest production of titanium in the world https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_titanium_production

Chariots are made from bronze, over 1000kg each. Warriors are made from the local special clay, hollow inside, about 300kg each. We had a private tour guide hired by the factory we work with, it was a nice touch as she spoke really good English and knew the place inside out. They discovered this place in 1974 while the local farmers were digging for water. There are thousands still uncovered until they figure out how to protect the colours as they fade within few weeks if let in the normal air. Some amazing stories about Qin, China's first emperor. He unified China's 7 kingdoms under his reign, built this place and also the Great Wall, such a busy man

Time to make some TORQEN titanium ones at decent prices

Today we went to the Terracotta Warriors museum. What an amazing place, full of thousands years of history! The details on the warriors are mind blowing. You can read more about it here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army

Yesterday we visited the factory where the TORQEN titanium bolts, engine harness covers, intakes are being manufactured. We were very impressed with the quality of the finished products, simply flawless. We discussed about few more products we currently designing and also got to test their new laser engraving machinery. Some pics below:

PM me here and I'll see what I can do to help

Pretty sure we have these in stock, not sure they're listed online yet.

Thank you guys! We're in Xi'an safe and sound

We're off, see you later folks!

Are you mad? iLove my iPhones

Wet dreams Shipping it's going to be very expensive, huge boxes

Some more pics with the cars turning up last night, awesome meeting!

Hi Kev, Yss, there was a German guy trying to do it, he never finished the project, even after I've pestered him for a few good months after tracking him down. Then GTM did a prototype, but went bust. Let's see if TORQEN can pull this trough I'd say start sourcing your OEM GTR intake manifold ASAP

looking good guys, I'm confident we can get a 15% discount on the exhausts and test pipes! We still have 12 days left, still time put your name down for this group buy.

EVERYONE! Will reply to your PM in a minute, just catching up.

Tried TORQEN?

Some updates, we finished the 3D model, flow tested etc. We're in the process of getting quotes for the part to be made.

Conversion to make the GTR intake manifolds including OEM to work on 370z.
