I'd be interested in Dump valve, a lip spolier - P1 style would be good, although the carbon one looks pretty cool, not sure how it would look on a DBM car, and how about Eibachs?

All very nice ideas, but on the topic of group buys a few have gone a bit wonky. Either they fall through, who sorts out problems, the time put in by the organisers, people not paying etc. Unless for a nominal amount or with someone I trusted I would personally prefer dealing with the supplier directly, but use the buying power of a group quote.
OTOH if Paul has done it a lot and is happy to do it then why not?

I see where you are coming from John. That is exactly the way I organise the groupbuys, agree the discount, get the buyers details together, the supplier then calls for payment and delivery.
However, of the two groupbuys I have been involved with they have both run very smoothly, with only small hickups in delivery times (two days late).
The only groupbuy I have had fall apart was the one organised for the APS DumpValves through NAM, this fell apart due to a quality problem with the the valves themselves. No fault on the part of the supplier of the organiser.
Groupbuys tend to command a much larger discount from the suppliers, meaning lots of happy chappies!

If you can get jap spec rear lights ( red / clear lenses as fitted to 98 - 00 sti's) at a sensible price, i'd be very interested! 
Failing that, my exhaust's about bu99ered! 
How good a price can you get HKS Hypers for?

I think there are so many of us after group buys that we could do with a "Groupbuy" section beneath Sales and Wanted.
Theres so many people reading this BBS. Surely as a community there must be lots of people after the same thing and a Group buy section will focus whats the current items on offer??? Group buys tend to get lost on the General section after a few days!!
What do ya think??

New Age Motorsport is doing what ever Harj does. But i wouldn't trust him.
NAM and NF start trading on the 1st of March.
SPA gauges aren't as accurate as Defi btw, and much easier to read in a fast car.
Can do both tho
