I will be interested in a torque wrench, O2 sensor and quick shifter group buy if any of them take off.
I still wouldnt mind getting in on a nolathane bushes group buy but there didn't seem too much interest last time it was mentioned.

Just did a bit of digging and I can get 9 o2 sensors for $60 plus postage. If anyone is interested in this let me know and I will order them.

Sounds great mate. I will definetly be up for two. PM a moderator (username RG or B2tf) before you do anything and run it by them.

I will be up for whiteline swaybars as well. Forgot to mention that.
Maybe we should get a list going and how many people want in on a group buy.

I'm interested in Nolathane (or whatever) bushes as well.

Maybe not a full kit but there was a mention a little while ago as to which bushes are better as Nolathane and which are better left original (I think JC was involved in the discussion... but then again JC is involved in most discussions, lol)

BTW, I got my O2 sensor (Bosch) off ebay for $50 + postage.

I think most people would be interested in the whole suspension kit, i could be wrong. I beleive with a group buy that we may be able to get a full Nolathane bush kit for around 550 bucks which isnt that much at all really. I might give GT Suspensions a call tommorow if i have time and see what sort of price they are willing to do for a group buy in nolathane bushes and in whiteline swaybars.
For those who want a group buy on shocks, am i right in assuming you are after koni yellow or reds? dave93761 picked up a set of yellows for 700bucks so we might be able to get it cheaper then that with a group buy. Obviously IRS and Non IRS prices will be different.

I floated the idea of a group buy with Ange (owner of GT Suspension) when I was there - wasn't really too keen on discounting it any further, even for a big group purchase - besides I picked up them for just over 50% of RRP......that's a pretty damn good saving anyway!!!

Still, worth an ask if you guys get enough definate people, would be much better to say that you have 15 confirmed purchasers ready to pay up straight away....that may tip the balance in your favour.

According to the ebay listing AU's are 4 wire and EF/EL's are 3 wire... but they are the same price ($58 + $7 postage).

Hey guys If people are interested in quickshifters/short shifts I have been able to obtain some decent pricing for group buys of 5 or more shifters if there is enough interest

i have one, how about boot struts and bonnet struts .....mine are heading for 9 years old and starting to get tired i`m sure there must be many others with this problem, the tension wrench sounds good, i have one but not convinced of its accuracy ....i think its rubbish, a 27 mm front sway bar i`d definatly be in for that it would go nicely with the koni`s .

How many would want a torque wrench? What brand & model/s would everyone want? I can see what prices I can get if there is any interest.

I dare say there would be, no harm in putting up a group buy EOI in the group buy section to get an idea on numbers.
