Hey guys;
Well, winter's coming, we're all getting our cars put away and are beginning to think about upgrades for next year.
What would people be interested in doing for a group buy, and maybe we can start looking for companies to work with.
Few ideas:
Carbon Pieces Coilover Suspensions Brake Kits Misc Suspension Components (Bushings etc) Gauges (AEM or otherwise) Turbo Manifold Cams Something that is expensive that if we buy in numbers we can save a good chunk on. IMO, a group buy for <$200 part is a waste since you usually can't save much on it after including shipping/taxes etc.
What are the bulk majority looking to do this year. We can do more than one or if anyone has any ideas, lets hear them!

Some of the bigger items (like turbos) are so competetive, that there is really nothing to be saved by buying in quantity. The margins are already so slim. What you might find is that there is huge savings in SHIPPING if you buy larger quantities of larger, heavier items...

Of course, there will be the obligatory $3-5 donation built into the group buy for DSM Canada, depending on the price of the item.

I'd be in for JIC Coilovers or Kelford Cams.

I already have v2 of link and would save on the purchase of v3 with the trade in as it is but if somehow I could save more via group buy I would be in for that as well as some cams too. Some spiffy brake kit would be hot too.

Ian, that only takes motivation, of which you have very little.

I'd probably be in for cams, but I'd definitely be in for a clutch setup, something that can handle some power I want the driveability of a steet disc, but something capable of taking abuse, maybe ACT 3200's or something? What are some of you guys running 10's and 11's using?

Where can I buy this motivation you speak of? Maybe there can be a group buy for it

Rob, That is PERFECT! Now, if someone could direct me to a similar page about the 1g? Or is there by any chance anyone who bought a 1g kit and hasn't installed it yet? If I got similar measurements for the 1g, I could put together some kits fairly quickly...
Mike, good luck with that. I had a HELL of time getting 2g hatches, and there was LOTS of interest expressed....but when it came right down to it, only three guys from Quebec actually bought.....I still have a few in stock...

So, why don't we do 3 group buys
1: ECMLink V3 (Upgrade or new) 2: Kelford Cams 3: ???
Thoughts?
