Second group buy is offically ready. Called our suppliers and I have exactly 5 radiators and 5 intercoolers in stock and held for defined auto!

So lets get the list of 5 people, and then we can arrange the payment info directly afterward.

ALRIGHT!!!!

I'm one of the first 5 people on the 2nd GB but I've asked for a Fluidyne rad rather than the Koyo. Am I good or do I have to wait?

sp_amend, you are good. I would like to get the other three to confirm before taking payments.

A/c brackets are available.

blmcquig add yourself to the list as number 6. I can get you in on this group buy.

It might be possible, the bends are not a standard length however. Honestly we never run silicone. If you pop the hood on my race car it is using all rubber. It seals extremely well, and silicone always seems to seep. Your call however, I can look into it on the pricing.

Eta right now is 4-6 weeks. It takes almost a week to get the funds, another week for delivery of all the parts, and 2-3 weeks to build them. Condenser mounts are not included in the price, but can be purchased for $120.

Offical list is confirmed, and all participants are ready!

Here are some special notes that come to mind before this ball gets rolling-

1) Remember this is a group buy. The sole reason to join a group buy is to save money. Since you are saving money, please read #2.

2) We pride ourselves on doing good work, and getting it finished in the time promised. However, custom hand made parts can have speed bumps. There is only two of us that do custom work. We also build cars, build many other custom parts, answer the phone, send emails, order parts, box all items and sleep at night. We are shooting for 4-6 weeks with ALL our abilities.
While the chance is extremely slim... I would like to ask for a certain consideration and understanding from all of you that things might take longer than expected. If this happens we simply ask everyone remain calm, it will help us not make any mistakes.

3) If for whatever reason after the payment has been sent, you would like a refund-
We cannot give a full refund. We will send you a unmodified radiator and a unmodified intercooler, and refund the remaining amount in paypal.

4) Shipping is not included in this group buy price. After shipping so many of these we are going to do a flat rate shipping cost of $115.00 per kit.

5) If anyone opts to purchase the a/c brackets, the supplied driver side ducting will not have hose provisions. It will be up to the end user to trim the panel to fit the a/c hoses to the condenser.

6) All payments must include the 4% paypal fee.

7) The group buy timeframe officially starts when we receive the LAST payment. Not the first.

8) We ship the kits out not by the order of the list, but by the order of payment. It seems the most fair.

9) We will need to know if you plan to use stock fans or aftermarket fans. Using the stock fan will reduce the ground clearance of the lower hose. We recommend a aftermarket single fan.

So with all that said, our paypal account is kkcarswell@juno.com

Here are the totals per person including shipping-

1. renkenkyo ---- (n-flow radiator) $1415
2. sp_amend ---- (fluidyne radiator) $1540
3. Shetlen $1365
4. The Rush $1365
5. Turbo8 (a/c brackets included) $1485
6. blmcquig $1365

If anyone wants a twin turbo hot pipe please add $110 to your total

If anyone else wants the a/c brackets, please add $120 to your total unless noted.

or maybe not...
$1225, plus 115 for shipping =
1340 + paypal fee of 3-4%

btw, i thought paypal fee was 3%, not 4%?

No exact same price, just putting shipping in the total instead of later. It will make the whole process go faster once the kits are completed. Timeframe is the main goal.

*edit, I actually did make a mistake. Those prices given are for $1250 per kit instead of $1225. Subtract $25 off the total. Sorry long day yesterday! These totals do not include the paypal fees, that is up to you guys to figure up.

Paypal is 3.5 or 3.9% and is always changing. If there is concern about the .5- .1 % maybe someone can look it up?

I'll have to modify mine in order to fit my long runner manifold and huge *** turbo. I'll post pics as soon as I can get to my computer. But as I can tell great quality kit. And I like the link with the detailed instructions. Makes it look like install is only minutes.
