What group buy should we have this year?

Is there anything anyone is interested in that we could buy by the masses and save us all some money, make Andy some money and Ziggy some money (if he's willing).

Anyone have any ideas?

V3?
Slicks?
Act Clutches?
Cams?

i need a new clutch

Cam Gears!

1GA fenders, both sides

Body parts does seem interesting, just very hard to ship.

We've had some pretty good group buys on here, especially last years with the PR parts.

I don't know about Cam Gears, not many run them.

Clutches is a great idea, so are cams.

What does everyone NEED? Maybe make a list and we'll go from there, see what the greater demand is for.

Cams were the best sence ive been here

We have done cams and clutches before. We have also done widebands, and Walbro fuel pumps if I remember correctly. I would not mind doing another buy, though I WOULD like the last few guys to get their vaccuum hoses from me, and I would like the calendars paid for before I tackle another buy, but that doesn't mean we can't start thinking/talking about it.

Slicks, I don't think there would be enough serious interest, and there is SO little money in slicks...I make almost nothing anyways, and when I do a group buy, the savings generally comes out of my profit and the savings on shipping. I don't usually get much of a discount if at all for ordering 10 or 20 of something instead of the 2,3, 5, or possibly 10 that I usually order.

Cam gears...again, not sure there would be enough demand. Did we do a group buy on the clear timing gear covers? I think we did, and I think most people have those by now.

V3? Is that referring to DSM Link V3? I think everyone on here SHOULD know that I won't sell DSM Link, and I won't sell to Helder's fan club either, so not sure why Aaron is making suggestions? Unless he figures Ryan is going to run this?

Intercoolers there is some room in the pricing on Yonaka ones, and we can save a lot by getting a bunch shipped all together. That would be a possibility, but we did do the PR ones already.

I have also been offering a "deal of the week" and a "deal of the month" through my webstore, and those prices are as good as I can do on a group buy also. Like right now, there are AEM Uego on there, AEM digital boost gauge, and No-Name universal mufflers at terrific prices.

Other items I could think of where there could be some savings in doing a group buy:

Mishimoto rads
Devils Own meth kits (Did we do a group buy on these already?)
Megan Racing downpipes and/or strut tower bars? - not a lot of room on the pricing, but could maybe save some on shipping several units at once?

Rads would be an awesome idea.

We did a meth kit group buy 2 years ago, last year it was Punishment Racing.

I'm sure rads would be a big hit, the mishimoto ones are all the rave on the link board, and if we can get fans with them, that's great.

Yonaka makes a great core, I've run one, Reza swears by them, and several on the board have used them before.

What about suspension setups and camber kits? Shipping on these are pretty expensive id imagine, and we could save buying them all together.

I am open to anything. Yonaka also makes a nice rad for the 2g, but they have been back ordered forever. If we are going to do a buy on Mishimoto rads, I am sure we could include the fans and possibly other Mishimoto items...

Kits with fans/mounts and upper and lower rad hoses would be cool.

gather 16gs would be out everyone seems to be going real big now a days.

What about injectors =]

or Brakes?

Brakes aren't a common thing most guys upgrade. Maybe a rotor/pad combo, but I doubt there would be much interest.

Injectors is definitely a possibility, shipping isn't much on them, but I'm sure we could save money if we bought in bulk.

I like the Rad/Fan/Hose idea.

stainless braided brake lines, and stainless clutch lines?

I think anything stock that wears out and is often replaced anyways would have a good turnout for a group buy. Even though I already got a couple good rads laying around, thats a good idea.

Id like the brake line ideas. I am just keeping stock single pistons for awhile.

or injectors either or I do plan on upgrading this spring time.

Lines would be nice.

Im also down for injectors

Let's do whores. We'll import them from the Czech's. Whose in?

Not sure I want to do that one...

Rad sounds like a good buy to me...

I'd be possibly interested in an injector buy

I'm in for injectors, clutches, or cams.

Well, I still have to get the last few vacuum hose kits delivered, and these calendars out of the way. After that, let's wait and see if I am still a member on this board....

Injectors does sound like a great idea.

PTE or FIC?

clutches. injectors

Sorry, But I would put them back on the next flight out!

1.CAMS
2.SS Break LINES

What about drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads that are an oem replacement? You could put me down for a set of those.

i would act do brakes too

Sorry, But I would put them back on the next flight out!

1.CAMS
2.SS Break LINES
[/quote]

Are you kidding? The czech's have the best girls.

But seriously, I'd be in for injectors too.

Injectors or Clutch

Injectors, Rotors, pads... maybe lip kits

lets see the downpipe or anything exhaust sounds good to me as that is the next priority before spring, clutches sounds good but im not shure if i have a huge amount of money to be spending when my exhaust is out of the way, rads sounded good, suspension sounded good, what about oil filters? though they are somewhat cheap already...
recirulating BOV s? plugs and plug wires? balance shaft elim kits? Air filters?

These are small time items most already have. Not really going to save any money on a big purchase, maybe 2-5 bucks a piece.

Let's narrow it down. Respond with your choice.

Clutches
Injectors
Rad
Brake components

Ok fine, six speed sequential transmision.

Clutches
Injectors

actually could I use larger injectors on a stock setup to flow fuel better when the day comes for an upgraded turbo? or does that mess with the computer too and require engine management:S
not shure fuel pumps make sense with the injectors?

You don't need a fuel pump with larger injectors, you do need something to control those larger injectors.

You will eventually need a fuel pump.

Wow that just made my brain stop for a secound there i feel stupid jut from reading that lol.

injectors are cool.

But My main vote would go to brake components seeing as how I NEED them on my car before it hits the roads.

Injectors could wait till next year...Either or I support the one with more votes.

Rotors

SS Fuel Lines & Fittings

Fuel Rails

Jay racing alt relocation kit, for those of us with no A/C.

What he said^^

-Manuel

x3 on the alt relocation kit

That sounds like an AWESOME idea.

Great job Adam!

+1 on relocation kit!

And 2g DP's

Yes, very good idea. My engine bay is going to look so purdy.

Well, I doubt very much that I will be running any more group buys on this board....

I still have a couple vacuum hose kits sitting here, and I will be finishing off all the calendars we are working on now, and then I am going to try to spend a lot less time on this board. My webstore is making great progress, I already have tons of stuff in there, and more going in almost every day, so I will still be able to service my good and faithful customers, but I don't plan to spend time here just as a member, as it is no longer fun. I also will not likely do any of the things like the calendars, the license plate frames, and the group buys. they are all time consuming, and I think I now need to spend that time elsewhere. I am even thinking about selling my DSM again .

We all know DSM's are a dying market. I either need to get back into more industrial machining, or into another vehicle. I can't make a living here. I have just renewed my membership in the Toronto Subaru Club, and am in the process of becoming a registered vendor there. In order to make sales there, I am going to need to spend all my time on that board, so I will be around this one a lot less....

I am not going to disappear, just not going to check this board every day.

It might also be a good idea to get into the habit of contacting me by email rather than pm's, as soon I won't be checking pm's daily either.

thanks again to all of my good and faithful customers and friends!

Thats too bad.
Anyways, has anyone try to give Jay racing a call and see what they say about a discount on a bunch of this brakets?

-Manuel

So what's the verdict?

I think the verdict is Ziggy's not doing it.

Doesn't mean we can't do it!

I want injectors, So i have someone working on pricing, how many people are down for that

I am.

1. Brian
2. Ryan
3?

ten would nice

Interested in pricing anyways.

1. Brian
2. Ryan
3. Derek

1. Brian
2. Ryan
3. Derek
4. Ruben

depends on pricing.

Think you can give us a round-about price Brian?

I'm looking for PTE 880s.

Soon

What brand of injectors are u gona be grabbing i wanted to get fic.

FIC

I'm in for 1000ccs

1. Brian
2. Ryan
3. Derek
4. Ruben
5. Darren

I would be in for some FIC BlueMax injectors. 1550cc's minimum


FIC BlueMax @ Maperformance

1. Brian
2. Ryan 880cc
3. Derek
4. Ruben 1000cc
5. Darren 1000cc
6. Steve white bluemax

Steve and Derek what Size?

1. Brian
2. Ryan 880cc
3. Derek 780cc
4. Ruben 1000cc
5. Darren 1000cc
6. Steve white bluemax

Updated list

For the guys that posted 1000's, not sure if FIC still sells the 1000's but if they do, I'd still choose their new 1050's. They have a better spray pattern & are hand flow matched (& from what I've seen, always flow more). They didn't say it about their own 1000's but they did say its not uncommon for other peoples 1000's to flow less.

FIC doesn't make anything "x80" it's all "X50"

So in that case...

1. Brian
2. Ryan 950cc
3. Derek 750cc
4. Ruben 1000cc
5. Darren 1000cc
6. Steve white bluemax 1550cc

7.Aaron 950cc, depending on the price.

Brian, what's the verdict on this?

7 ppl. i'm waiting on a reply, spring / no snow is far away, and i'm eating mcdonalds at 346am

Depending on price as well, I may be interested in a set of 1150's

1. Brian
2. Ryan 950cc
3. Derek 750cc
4. Ruben 1000cc
5. Darren 1000cc
6. Steve white bluemax 1550cc
7. Aaron 950cc
8. Garret 1150cc

O.k so what is the deal?

When will this injectors would be available? and I havent seen anything about price, how much is a set of 1000cc RC's?

If I am correct, the group buy is on FIC injectors, so you would be in for 1050's?

Oh no RC?
That sucks, oh well Ill keep looking thanks.

-Manuel

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it was just FIC's

Yes that's what I was hoping for, other wise I will go elsewhere.

Yes just FIC, I'm awaiting some prices just to see if its even worth it

What i've managed to scratch together, basically American retail, in CAD dollars..
So the prices listed are Canadian prices, shipped to my door.

1. Brian 750cc -$288.88
2. Ryan 950cc -$324.87
3. Derek 750cc -$288.88
4. Ruben 1000cc -$344.86(1050cc)
5. Darren 1000cc -$344.86(1050cc)
6. Steve white bluemax 1550cc -$464.81
7. Aaron 950cc -$324.87
8. Garret 1150cc -$384.85
9. Brian Fernandez FIC BlueMax 1150-

If more people are interetsed, they will probably give me more off, I'm going to reply hoping to get another bit off because our dollar sucks. Who knows..

Hey brian, is that US+shipping?

Canadian shipped to my door. You would just pick them up from my house or we can meet up, are those worthwhile prices??

So far so good....let's see if they budge anymore on the exchange rate.

Count me in, however I would really like it a little lower because I am going to have to have them shipped...

Add me for 1250cc bluemax please

Added, and i'll get you an exact price tomorrow or monday, as well as any others who would like a quote.

Alot responded saying depending on price, if this price if good for you give me the thumbsup.. if not, say nevermind, just to make organizing easy please and thanks .

And come on Manuel. Hop on the wagon.. You know you wanaa..

That's a bit more than I expected, I will have to pick up some used ones. Sorry I'm out.

He hasent even sead the price yat:S

Look up, he has said the price.

If you order these when will they be here by?

Yeah, I'm in. We'll have to set a deadline for moneys and stuff.

Order placed by end of Jan, so first week of Febuary they should be here!

And where are we sending the money to?

Me, considering only half the list is in so far, maybe no where . Give it sometime..

I'm in. I guess...

I am off to Mexico on Monday night for a week .....so I am unable to send monies till Feb 3rd if this deal goes though when I am away.

Say hi to my Dad.
Tell him, his son is getting his DSM ready to race againts his 78' malibu LOL.


Where in Mexico are you going?
Enjoy your self.

I am in for some FIC 850's.

I am going to the Mayan, Tulum to be exact. We are staying at the Bahia Principe.

Cool, enjoy I cant wait for my trip.

-Manuel

all FIC is available, I had someone inquire about, and the answer is yes.. so there are a few people with not only mitsu here

If this group buy does go through, I would like to change my order from 1150's to 1050's. The 1150's will be more of a pain in the ass then I want, and the 1050's will still be more than enough for the next few years.

O.k guys I will not be using standar injectors anymore so this injectors arent any good for me.

But I wnet ahead and I got prices for from the company I got my injectors last year.

and this is what they came back with and I quote:

"Just to clarify, some of the sizes are a little different so i put the actual PTE size. These prices all include shipping, everyone can pay individually as well over the phone or through paypal".
1. Brian 750cc (780cc) = $250.00
2. Ryan 950cc (1000cc) = $265.00
3. Derek 750cc (780cc) = $250.00
4. Ruben 1000cc = $265.00
5. Darren 1000cc = $265.00
6. Steve white bluemax 1550cc (1600cc) = $410.00
7. Aaron 950cc (1000cc) = $265.00
8. Garret 1150cc (1200cc) = $275.00
9. Brian Fernandez BlueMax 1150-(1200cc) = $275.00
10. My self: Manuel PTE 1000cc = $265.00

This are price in us shipped to your door, I am not making any money I just though I would help you, I will give this shops contact info and HE will be responsable for the transaction.

Let me know.

Oh by the way they only sell PTE, I never had a problem with them EVER at the dino nor at the track.


-Manuel

US or CAD Manny?

I had PTE 780's and had no problem with them, so I would probably go for a set of 880s this year.

Like I said in the post is in US.
