Group Buy Service for October Poll
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 10:48 am
From now on, my group buy service will try and do 1 item group buy per month. I'd like to run a straw poll of some kind to see where the main interest is and then we address that.
I'll start us rolling with some ideas:
1. Dynamat Bulk Pak - At the moment the best offer I have is A$200.00 here in Melbourne for a box. Shipping I can say would be by Transdirect like how I shipped some brakes and I'm sure it's < A$25. Need minimum of 10 boxes. Most worthwhile group buy at the moment IMHO.
2. Visual Garage Sharkfin Antennas - Self explanatory. With strong A$, you might well get it under the A$80 we had to shell out in the last buy. We will probably rope in a couple of other clubs to do this.
3. Bodykits and Add on parts - Some people have asked for V-Lips, some for rear diffusers. I'm also on the RColt forum, looking at their group buy of body kits and am thinking of the container import so everyone saves hugely on shipping. If you think a body kit is imperative now, vote for this one. Though this with the size of parts and price involved will probably stretch over Oct and Nov. Still hard pressed though since we'll need about 100 bodykits to make the container worth while. Still if you don't have A$1200 lying around spare to begin with, this is not one to vote for.
4. NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs - The HKS ones may have been too rich for some of our bloods. Those are the best money can buy I'm told. However, if you want to replace your current plugs, these NGK ones are pretty much the performace ones which are recommended. Retail is about A$28 per piece, I've gotten in touch with the NGK distributor here in VIC and he'll do A$15-17 a piece for 5 or more cars i.e. 20 plugs?.
5. Rim Skins - Protect your Alloys from scuffs against the high side barriers today! A$50 shipped or from your local Autobarn. So the question is do you want this and think a group buy will help you afford it?
6. Injen CAI Round 2 - Check out the link. Want your car to breathe better?
If you guys have any other suggestions, let me know and I'll add them to the list.
