GI Speedbuilt Swaybar GB #2

[alerored04]

There is talk over on GAGT.com about attempting a second group buy for speedbuilt swaybars from pfyc.com. The bars are no longer in production and it was thought the last run on a group buy would be the last sets made. Now there are people over there who missed out last time that want sets. We are going to contact pfyc about it but it would be better to know that there are interested parties. Start the list...

Alerored04 (front only)

[surreal_awakening]

Front & Rear

[alerored04]

Then the list looks like:

1. Alerored04 (front only)
2. Surreal Awakening (front & rear)

[Trickyslick]

Do we have an idea on price for each or both???

[alerored04]

On the last GB they went for around $150/bar. PFYC did it with a $75 deposit up front and the remainder paid when it was ready to ship.

[Bad99Olds]

bad99olds: front and rear

[alerored04]

1. Alerored04 (front only)
2. Surreal Awakening (front & rear)
3. bad99olds (front and rear)

[Aer0]

who is taking responsibility for the group buy?

[alerored04]

I don't know yet, this thread is just to gain interest so there can be motivated parties. If we get enough people i may email pfyc myself but i will hold off until we see close to the requisite ten people for each type of bar. But i just got a pm so we are down to two again.
So it is
1. Alerored04 (front only)
2. Surreal Awakening (front & rear)

[Satsuriku]

Satsuriku (front only)

[alerored04]

1. Alerored04 (front only)
2. Surreal Awakening (front & rear)
3. Satsuriku (front only)

[Spilner521]

Spilner521 (Rear only)

[jabartram]

I would actually like a front swaybar.

[Oldsnut]

1. Alerored04 (front only)
2. Surreal Awakening (front & rear)
3. Satsuriku (front only)
4. jabartram (front only)
5. Spilner521 (rear only)

[Oldsnut]

The Aleromod guy made up 1/2 if not more of the last swaybar buy over on GAGT. Good luck on this one guys.

[alerored04]

Thanks Oldsnut, I emailed PFYC today. Recieved one back from a lower level guy saying he forwarded it to his boss so we will see how it goes.

[bkathsalero]

im down for a front and rear

[Steven01]

Front.

[Oldsnut]

1. Alerored04 (front only)

3. Satsuriku (front only)
4. jabartram (front only)
5. Spilner521 (rear only)
6. bkathsalero (front & rear)
7. Steven01 (front)

If anyone else wants to go on the list just copy and paste the list into a thread reply, then just add your name.

...im bored so id thought id help :thumb:

[surreal_awakening]

It looks like we need to merge this list with the list running over on the GAGT board and get this effort unified. I want these bars!

[alerored04]

Bump, anyone else interested? I am still trying to get ahold of someone important at pfyc. I emailed them and had a reply from a peon who said he passed it along to his boss. I have still not heard from them but if we get more people and can show them that there is good interest i think they may be more likely to act on it. So come on guys, between us and gagt.com we have 16 people, we need a few more.

[alerored04]

Finally recieved a reply from pfyc. It reads:

Matt, we'll need 20 people minimum per bar. We can only place an order
with the manufacturer if we have at least 20 pre-paid orders.

Here is my second email.

[Oldsnut]

If my memory serves me right, I thought they only wanted 10 bars for the front and 10 for the rear. Now they want 20.

[Aer0]

its getting close.. we need some more ppl.. share this group buy on other forums too!

[alerored04]

I just checked, it was 15 each last time, that kind of sucks, any suggestions on how to bring that up with pfyc? We have 14 fronts and 11 rears. If anyone is on other forums please post a link to this even if you are not buying some.

Edit: Here is the link to the GAGT thread for those of you interested in this. http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73907

Ok, thank you very much. I am currently working to fill the 20 orders
per bar. I will let you know when we have that number and decide which
day to do the purchase. Would all the payments be in full this time
rather than the half up front and remainder at shipping time like the
last group buy? Thanks again for your time.

Reply:
I would strongly prefer to do it that way because last time, a lot of
people took a LONG time to pay the remainder once the bars came in and
the logistics were a nightmare.

[super white alero1]

Can i get in on this too?
+1 front
+1 rear

[alerored04]

You are in.

1. Alerored04 (front only)
2. Surreal Awakening (front & rear)
3. Satsuriku (front only)
4. jabartram (front only)
5. Spilner521 (rear only)
6. bkathsalero (front & rear)
7. Steven01 (front)
8. AsianAlero (front)
9. Super White Alero1 (front & rear)

We have 16 fronts and 13 rears now! Whoo! I hope we can find a few more. If anyone is getting cold feet please let me know before i talk to pfyc to get payment info cause that will set us back aways if someone fails to pay on time.

[surreal_awakening]

Got my money ready to go. Can't wait!

[alerored04]

Bump! Come on guys We need four more fronts and six more rears. There has to be some other people who are interested.

[DOHC_tuner]

im interested now is that 150 for the front and rear?

[alerored04]

$150 per, so $300 for the pair.

[DOHC_tuner]

wow....got any pics?

[alerored04]

Here, this is the best i could find on GAGT. The pic with two bars is stock at the top and speedbuilt at the bottom. I already have the rear and it is worth it, coupled with my struts and springs this car really handles nice.

[surreal_awakening]

Uhm..... bump! :)

[alerored04]

Bump.

[Cliff8928]

I'll have some pics of mine soon.. The front bar weighs like 4 times what my stock FE2 one did. I feel sorry for those with a V6 putting it in, it was even a pain with the Ecotec and 5-speed.

[xbxradxsx]

I'd just like to add, for anyone questioning the buy, I highly recommend both bars. There's a major difference in handling that's well worth the money. Best money I've spent on my car so far.

[Satsuriku]

I feel sorry for those with a V6 putting it in, it was even a pain with the Ecotec and 5-speed.

........ummm.......oh shit lol

[Cliff8928]

Haha, it's not like it's impossible or anthing. They just don't give you much room to work with. You have to remove the rear trans mount bracket, unbolt the steering rack from the subframe and lower the rear of the subframe (service manual says 3")

It also said to remove the tie rod ends and the wheels, etc.. but I didn't do that part.

[Satsuriku]

good god dude, i only understood 1 part of that.......haha ya no way i would be able to do that, nor do i know of someone to help me with it.....sheesh haha, oh well. ill figure it out

[surreal_awakening]

There's gotta be a few more people out there. Let's get this done! So close.....!

[alerored04]

Bump.

[surreal_awakening]

Wake up, people! It's time for your daily bump! :lol:

[surreal_awakening]

Ok, so I've made the decision to go ahead and replace the entire engine and tranny in the ho, and while it's out, I would really like to put a nice new front sway bar in. It will be much easier! Sooo.....sign up for some bars, people, so we can get this group buy done!

[super white alero1]

Hey SR, if this GB don't go thru by May 1, then I have to back out. I got school in June so, i need to make plan accordingly.

[surreal_awakening]

I would love to see it go through by May 1. The sooner the better. Pretty soon I'm going to end up spending it on something else. Money burns holes in my pockets lol

[alerored04]

Bump. Come on people. I want this to work. We only need a few more.

Comon people, need 1 more,, otherwise by May 1 we need 3 more.

[alerored04]

Ok guys we have 20 and 20. I just sent pfyc an email to help decide on the two day window for payments.

[Spilner521]

Sounds good. Is there going to be a new thread made, or are we just using this one for the rest of the GB?

[alerored04]

I have not decided. I will figure it all out when i hear back from pfyc on monday.

[alerored04]

Ok everyone. I got a reply from pfyc.

Hi Matt;

We can set it up for any one or two day window you want.



So i am going to open a poll for payment dates on GAGT.com. The reason I am only doing it there is that if i open two threads here and there we will have two different dates and a conflict. I will leave the poll open for week to make sure that everyone who will buy a bar has a say. I will link the threads.

Here is the thread but i was not able to open a poll. I asked one of the moderators to do so. Thanks guys, and good work.

[alerored04]

Bump, please make sure you get over to GAGT.com and vote on the day for payment.

[super white alero1]

Bump......so the decision is not clear yet. Is it going to be paid directly to PFYC or thru a member to handle?

[jabartram]

i cant vote in the poll, but the 9th and 10th work for me.

[alerored04]

It will be paid directly to PFYC.

[alerored04]

Bump. For having 22 buyers and 6 votes i am pretty concerned that there are going to be follow through issues. Please at least post that you dont care or if you were unable to vote so i can see that you are all still in.

[super white alero1]

I can't remember my GAGT.com account password. I can get payment anytime before May 17.

[alerored04]

Ok cool. Thats all i needed to know. Right now May 9 and 10 is winning by one vote.

[surreal_awakening]

Man I seriously hope we don't have people backing out of this.

[alerored04]

That is my main concern at this point.

[Spilner521]

Doesn't matter to me what dates are decided on. I could pay right now if I needed to.

[Vic28]

is it too late for a Rear bar ???:blink:

[surreal_awakening]

I don't think it's too late until everyone pays up.

Payment is decided. May 9th and 10th it is. I have already emailed pfyc and they said they will start the process and will let me know the final details on the 8th. Good work everyone.

[super white alero1]

Post linky for payment please when setup.

[alerored04]

I will most definitely post the link as soon as I have it.

[surreal_awakening]

How are we looking on this? Are we set to go for the 9th and 10th?

[alerored04]

We are all set up so far. PFYC will be giving me the final details on the 8th.
