Dickmeyer Automotive Engineering Race Header B3/B6

[sketchman]

^Yes.

Does the current build still have 12s?

[darkfact]

Sounds like a great idea Mr. Dickmeyer.

I was thinking about taking my festiva to the track & get some vids to show what a modded b3 will do.

[mattdickmeyer]

I hope he doesn't mind me commenting for him or on his behalf, but drumnerds car is stupid fun. Matt's work is top notch.

I'm with rmoltis:
From the 200sx crowd with zero aftermarket support ZERO off the shelf suspension mods. To the other end : a z32 and a 280 zxt where parts are readily available but cost an arm and a leg.
You guys have it good to have someone that is willing to produce quality parts , on their own time, for a car like the festiva. We should be sending matt a thank you card and some beers. And a link at the top of the forum homepage.

THANKYOU MATT FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US.

Thanks for the thanks, beer for my birthday?!

I got my header today and it is beautiful. I can hardly wait to get it going. With any luck I'll be back on the road in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know what I think of it and the cam as soon as I get a little seat time.

I'm happy your happy with it! I hope it was worth the wait.

Hopefully the more people warming up their b3's with DAE parts, the more the haters will shut their pie holes.

Lol
I haven't heard pie hole since cow and chicken was on the air.

[TheNewAmericanSpirit]

pie holes.

Where's the pie, I want some!


For real though, I can't wait to see this stuff in person!

I like how the collector even has the little four side triangle in the center
to help converge the flow from the primaries to the collector.

Which cam did you order?
The mpg
Stage1
Stage2
Stage3
Or custom?

I'm not sure on the cam. He talked Stage 2 at one time, Stage 3 another and I haven't opened the package yet to see what the card says.

If everything you do is custom made.
Wouldn't the data always be different?

If you went to a performance shop and asked them to do custom work.
Would you ask them for data as to what to expect?
Or would you have the custom work done and then extract the results at the end?

Chances are no-one will have worked on the b3 before meaning they would have no idea what to expect.

Not to mention his parts aren't all for the b3
Hell create anything you want for any car.

And any engine can be made to perform
Why need proof for what people have been doing for years?

Go ask drumnerd33 what he thinks of his engine.
And see what kind of response you get from him.
I bet its %100 positive.

I think what he's saying is.
It's not the fact that people are not buying his products.
It's more the fact that he's offering his top notch design services
To create top notch products at prices that are far below that which other shops would offer.

And people are being ungrateful
And complaining about things like
having to wait their turn for a custom hand made product.

When he's alreading cutting his bottom line drastically just to help us festiva/aspire crowd
Get a leg up with the performance crowd.

If any of you go to any shop and ask them to do the same things matt is doing.
They would charge you double or more

And you wouldnt even be guaranteed to get a quality product.
Made by a person who may or may not have similar experience.
Or willing to create a top notch product.
Some people may just make something that fits and sell it to you.
Rather than refining it to its full potential.
While charging you more to do it.


For example his custom tuned header for $340.

I found the most reputable header shops online all over the u.s.
And sent them information about my application I wanted a custom tuned header for.

And the quotes ranged from $1000-$2000
For a hand crafted header.

Other option was pacemaker from Australia.
And the shops I quoted from Australia to have one shipped over.
Quoted me from $700-800.

His parts are such a baragain for how they perform.
You all should be thanking him for the hard work he's investing
In our cars to bring them up to par.

If you invested your full attention to detail on products to create the best you could.
Better than others offer.
And sold them at bottom line prices.

And got a bunch of ungrateful responses from everyone.
About price and wait time.
Wouldn't you start to lose interest.
In helping out that particular group.
And start to see it as a pointless endeavor?

When he's gone you guys will be back to mismatching random parts.
Never reaching the full potential of your engines.

Just sayin...

DrDan , recently experienced what I can olny descibe as a "learning curve" in regards to the festiva crowd.I've had to reevaluate the worth of spending valuable time & resources developing/building low or no profit products.The intake i have designed looks to work pefectly & resolve the air/fuel distribution issuse of the o.e carb intake, I just can't do it at price i believe members are willing to pay. An effort to produce it less expensivly negativly effected its funtion.Unfortunatly i've had to reconsider the worth in continuing to build any festive performance parts.

The more hard you data you can convice everyone that the b3 can do MPG and power, not MPG or power will get more people to come around. I get it though, waiting for them to pull trigger doesn't mean your bills are going to wait.

Bah, I never leave those boxes on. Now a Heimholz Hidden Dry Shot, I'd leave THAT on.
