[Big D]

I am definitely interested.

[capitalcrew]

No one is going to hop blind into a group buy. Post a price and you'll gather a lot of interest.

[Big D]

Well as stated, the final details are still being worked out, but as it sits now you can expect atleast a $15 discount off the basic 3" intake with no upgrades.

So instead of $175 shipped your looking at $160. Other details are being worked out.. please be patient. I wanted to get a thread going to show Mark there is intrest!

[Big D]

Bump for added details..

[RedRooster]

Whats the basic kit? Is it the CAI or WAI?

[corby_baby]

Whats the basic kit? Is it the CAI or WAI?

CAI it says 3" :]

Group buy basic product description: Full 3" MMI C.A.I Intake Kit, Polished tubing, Standard Filter Element, Black Silicon Couplers.

[JC'szx2]

Basic Kit w/ K&N & Colored Couplers: $215 (reg price: $230) add me!!

[RedRooster]

Oh lol thanks corby. So the basic kit is $160 now?

[CBZx2]

Apparently, thats a pretty solid deal IMO, I just wish I had the extra money, or knew I would have it by the 3rd...

[1981gMachine]

Shame ya only gave us 2 weeks. Some people have rent due soon.

[Big D]

JC your added, what color couplers you wanting?

RedRooster, that is correct. With no upgrades you can get the basic complete intake for $160 delivered!

1981, sorry bro, this was Mark's time frame. I can ask for an extension if you are definitely interested but need another week? At the same time it starts becoming a hassle to everyone else when a GB drags on & on before moving to the next stage.. It's hard to find a happy medium. If you had more time would you for sure be in for the GB?

[CBZx2]

Is there anyway we could just get a WAI instead? At a discounted price obviously

[Big D]

lol why cant mark just scroll down and click this thread and do it himself? hahahah

[Big D]

i dunno, im just trying to be proactive.. I told him i would handle the thread so he could worry about his end of it.

We gotta long ways to go tho, I kind of thought there would be more interest then this. :/

[JC'szx2]

black couplers and what color is the filter?

[Big D]

Corby, $160 for the basic kit, it's manageable if you want the best! ;)

CBZx2, checking on the WAI version for you.

JC, the standard kit will come w/ black couplers, so no need for the upgrade option then! I edited your options and price. Waiting on an answer for the filter color.

[ZX2guy19]

The filter is red.

Thats why you have an uncle who can powdercoat like me, duh

[corby_baby]

[CBZx2]

Obviously I wasn't referring to the filter part of your post....

[Big D]

CBZx2, You can get the basic kit as a warm air for $155 shipped.. Let me know if you want in!

[yellow2000S/R]

My dad wants a basic kit. Is there a MAF adapter plate included? Does it always have the 90* bend at the end putting the fender in that void? He wants that.

Has money now. He wants to know payment info (he has paypal).

[corby_baby]

Obviously I wasn't referring to the filter part of your post....

doh i know lol.

[CBZx2]

doh i know lol.

Good :supernana:

But I will let you know closer to the deadline since I dunno if I will have the money or not...

[Sk00t3r]

Looks good I am definatly interested! Basic Kit with black Powder Coating.. Should have the money soon.

[Big D]

Yellow2000S/R, yes the MAF adapter is included, and yup the basic kit is the "cold air" intake and locates the filter to the void in the fender left after the stock resonator crap is removed. I will put it on the list under your screen name if thats ok? And the paypal address is in the original post!

Skoot3r, your being added as well, basic w/black PC

Also, just a thought about payments. I updated the first post with the following details:

****ADITIONAL PAYMENT DETAILS****
We do NOT have all 10 units confirmed yet. All payments should be HELD until we reach the total number of required orders!! Otherwise the group buy pricing does NOT go into effect!!! Only 6 more orders to go!!

[yellow2000S/R]

Sounds good. I hope this gets as to the GB quota so my dad can save a little money somewhere. He's got a lot invested in his car already.

[Big D]

Me too lol! Every dollar saved counts!

[freaktractor]

ok...im in
just the basic kit for 160

but i gotta pay by money order...
will that be a problem?

[Big D]

Cool freaktractor! Shouldn't be a problem but I will double check!
Basic Kit $160

Half way there guys!

[JC'szx2]

well for $38 more pc mine as well please

[Big D]

freaktractor money order will be fine. I'll get the payment info over to you. Just remember to hold off payment until we get the rest of the orders in!

JC, updated for the PC!

[joshalabama]

Has Mark verified this group buy?

[Big D]

Yup it is official!

Per the first line of the first post:

"Alright guys, here is the deal. I have been working with Mark and he has agreed to do a group buy on his 3" CAI intakes for us!!"

This may be a good time to clarify a couple things for anyone that may be curious, there is no scam here! No money is being sent to me to be sent to him. Listed in the first post of this GB is Mark's paypal address for payment. (I have the snail mail addy as well for those needing money order payment) I contacted him a couple weeks ago about the possibility of a group buy. We chatted back and forth and he agreed. I asked if he wanted to post the details up to get it going, or if he would rather, I would be glad to do it and he wanted me to post the thread. I know I am new here to this site. But not to forums or organizing group buys. I have handled more then a few of them on various other message boards I am a member of for various hobbies!

All I am doing is handling the order taking and orginization of it. When we have all 10 orders (or more) ready to go, we can start making payment's. I will confirm with Mark what has been received on his end and what has been shipped out. The original post will serve as a record of where we are in the process, who ordered what, who paid, who recieved what etc etc. Me taking care of this frees Mark up to concentrate on making the intakes up when we get to that stage so he does not have to spend alot of time monitoring this thread. He also won't (and shouldn't be) bombarded with PM's asking questions about status etc etc. That should all be directed here to THIS thread. That keeps his contact down to just me which should be much more manageble for him when were in the production stage. Less time he spends dealing with the group buy and questions comments etc, the more time he has to build us intakes! ;)

So far so good as far as I can tell, if anyone has any problems with how this is going or being handled please feel free to send me a PM!

We're half way there only need 5 more orders to go!!

[joshalabama]

Sign me up for kit with black powdercoating.

[Big D]

Excellent! Thanks Josh your on the list, Basic Kit, Black Powder Coated: $198

1 more down, 4 more to go!! Were picking up speed here fellas! I KNOW there are some of you who have clicked on this thread that want to get in on this but haven't yet.. What are you waiting for?? c'mon! Everyone's doing it..

[foofy]

alright i'm in, basic kit.

[joshalabama]

How long is this going to take once the order is processed and money has been put into the pot? Any longer then 3 weeks is unreasonable and I am not going to be too fond of continuing my part with this group buy. I understand people are busy but we are talking about 10 people spending together around $1500-$2500 I don't find it unreasonable to ask for a timetable. I don't want to receive parts 2-6 months after placing an order. Not trying to be an ass, just something that matters to me.

[1981gMachine]

1981, sorry bro, this was Mark's time frame. I can ask for an extension if you are definitely interested but need another week? At the same time it starts becoming a hassle to everyone else when a GB drags on & on before moving to the next stage.. It's hard to find a happy medium. If you had more time would you for sure be in for the GB?

To be honest no. I just post to point things out. These intakes are a hefty price, so there's no way I can talk myself into one.

The only group buy I will commit to is the powder odp udp kit.

Good luck on filling out 10 people

[Big D]

Josh, I was qouted no longer then 3 weeks from the date of the group buy close (sept 3rd). Hopefully sooner but he wanted to give himself enough time. The powdercoating does add another step for those wanting it, and could make it take the full three weeks. As you pointed out three weeks is not unreasonable for a one man shop to get everything done for us on these. Please be patient and stick with us!

Foofy, your on the list bud thanks! Basic Kit, $160

1981, ok, thanks i guess..?



ONLY 3 ORDERS LEFT TO BE FILLED GUYS!!
Get OFF the fence and ON the list!!! 3 More orders and we can get this rolling on!

[Sk00t3r]

Well , I hate to do this I was really looking forward to getting one of these intakes. I got a sweet deal on a turbo set up from my step-father and I just purchaced another zx2 today so dont think I will be needing /can no longer afford on of these. But good luck on the gb hope it works out.

[joshalabama]

lol.

[Big D]

ouch. back down to 6.

Time is running out on this guys! If you are on the fence you need to get off it real quick like!

[Big D]

Tomorrow is the last day!!! If you want one you need to get on the list! We need 4 more!

[ZX2guy19]

So if he has a chance to make $1200 he won't take it?

[Big D]

Dunno, I'm hoping so but we will have to see. There was a minimum order of 10 to get the groub buy discounted price. We will just have to see how it plays out!

[JC'szx2]

bump

[Pineapple]

Okay, put me on the list for a basic kit w/ black PC. Hopefully this will still happen.

[Big D]

Excellent, Pineapple your on the list! Basic Kit $160. I also added slymjym350, He wanted in on the GB and has been in contact via PM. I told him to sign in here in this thread to confirm though.

This puts us up to 8! Only two more orders left, and only one more day left! Come on guys were almost there! Lets make this happen!

[Pineapple]

Can you change mine to the black powdercoated one, also? Thanks man

[Big D]

Yup, updated the list. Pinapple, basic kit, black powdercoated, $198

[yellow2000S/R]

Put me down for a kit as well. (Kit for my dad, kit for me).

I figure it will be a while till I go turbo, I'll just resell it when that time comes.

[sinzx2]

I Spent Over 300 On Mine 3" Red PC black couplers and k&n...well worth the money.... still need to post pics of that . Posted via Mobile Device

[Big D]

Got it yellow, added to the list, basic kit $160.. Thanks man!

ONLY 1 MORE ORDER TO GO TO MAKE THIS A DONE DEAL!!! (additional orders always welcome of course!) COME ONE GUYS, JUST ONE MORE!!

[slymjym350]

Sorry, Big D. I didn't get a chance to get online yesterday afternoon. Thanks for adding me!

[Big D]

No worries man, thanks for confirming!

Were in the home stretch here guys 1 order left! Some one hop in here and finish this up for us!!! :rocknana:

[joshalabama]

Is there anyway my intake can NOT have the hole for 98 zx2's where the IAT goes?> The hole is useless to me and not needed and I have found the only nice way to completely block these holes in intakes is to etape it. I don't want to do that so I would prefer an intake with the vacume hose nipple and that is it. Just not IAT hole lol.

[Big D]

josh, yup that is the final question I need to know from everybody is whether or not you will need the hole drilled for the IAT on your intakes. I was going to wait till the whole deal was done and ready then send PM's to make sure and reach everyone. I will do it now instead. And josh since you do NOT want it I will note that now, you wont get the PM! ;)

[Big D]

Late afternoon bump! 1 spot left to fill!

[JC'szx2]

1 more anyone?

[raceguy246]

Big D,

Did you get my pm?

I want one, pc basic with K&N in yellow!

k? I can paypal you as soon as you say so

[Big D]

Rec'd a PM from raceguy246. He wants in, basic kit powdercoated yellow = $208

We are complete! All 10 orders are spoken for! In the morning I will update the thread and we move into phase two!!!


A big thank you to everyone!!

GROUP BUY ORDERS COMPLETED!
Everyone be ready to pay on Friday Sept 5th!!

[raceguy246]

So, I'm looking at a basic powder coated yellow with K&N for $248 shipped?

if so, consider this my confirmation!

[ZX2guy19]

Just a thought, and although I trust mark a lot, get his personal information someone. He is looking at about $2200 being sent to his paypal...that tempts even the best of people. I trust him, but you never know,

[Big D]

Zx2guy19, you bring up a valid point. However there is no real way to address it. Hell I am newbie on here myself so sending me the money first is out of the question. I DONT WANT that anyway, not to mention paypal would snag fees twice on each transaction which would suck.

I have Mark's snail mail address, and I have asked him for his phone number as well. As soon as I have it I will give him a call and just make sure we are good to go. Should a problem arrise this information will be given to anyone who needs it.

At this point the only thing I can say is just like any other transaction for anything over the internet buyer beware! There is always the possibility of getting taken on something, thats just the way it is.

Mark has been around these forums for a while now and alot of people have his product. I really don't think he is out to screw anyone over on this deal...

[Big D]

raceguy, sorry i didn't get the K&N upgrade earlier, I updated the list now and got the K&N on there for you!

[Big D]

***ATTENTION PLEASE***

Ok, everyone we are now into Phase Two: payment!

I need everyone to go to the very first post in this thread and thoroughly read through ALL the payment information. I have updated it to include everything you will need for payments, all the details are there!

Payments are NOW BEING ACCEPTED!! From now untill tomorrow Sept 5th, @ 6pm CST! All payments MUST be COMPLETED by 6pm tomorrow to be included!!

Thanks everyone!

[raceguy246]

I was just lookiong at some powdercoating colors and I realized that some manufactures 'yellows' are somewhat mustard colored. That is not the yellow I'm looking for, I want a bright yellow color. A yellow like whats on the s/r's. If thats the plan then I still want yellow, if not lemme know what other colors I can choose from. Thanks, -Deric

[Big D]

I have asked for you! Personally I would almost say if your looking for something specific you might be best served to have it done on your own.. You will have greater control doing it this way! Everyone's opinions of what something color wise (specially a color like yellow) looks like will be different. I asked to see a sample of a yellow part done by his coater but I dunno if he will have that or not.

Honestly I don't know besides the basic color choices what will be available, I am guessing red, blue, black, maybe green. Not real sure. We will see what he says!

[raceguy246]

I suppose I was refering to Tims colors:

http://www.caswellplating.com/powder/powder_colors.html

well, ya know what, I'll trust Marks Judgement!

[Big D]

Just got a reply, he says it all depends on what they have in stock at the time the part is run! Unless you want a specific custom color choice and then your talking pretty big money for them to order it in etc.

He says the best bet is when he goes to run it through he can tell them, "if you have bright yellow run it, if its mustard yellow don't run it". Only problem with this is if they don't run it if it's mustard you will have to get a refund on the price differance for the powdercoating.

Or we can keep it simple by going with black like the others, (standard color always in stock) or go for just the non-powdercoated intake.

Let me know what you want to do..

[Big D]

[raceguy246]

I sent my payment, from Raceguy246@aol.com, $250 total, I'm giving u guys a dollar tip each for all of the hassle :smile:.

I suppose just request a bright yellow if they have it, if not, then you could coat it in black, or not coat it at all, I dont care, flip a coin or something. Dont worry about a refund.

Thanks for your help with everything and such!

[Big D]

I'll let him know to do bright yellow if they have it. Black if they don't!
Your payment is also confirmed! :beernana:

[yellow2000S/R]

Money sent for my fathers and my intake... combo payment ($320 at once).

[CBZx2]

Just a thought, and although I trust mark a lot, get his personal information someone. He is looking at about $2200 being sent to his paypal...that tempts even the best of people. I trust him, but you never know,

Well to be honest I trust mark will come through, I think this is his chance to prove he is going to be serious with his products from now on, I know the radiator brackets were pretty much a disaster so he is going to try to get back to doing things nice and correctly

Thanks To everyone for hanging in there, and getting the payments taken care of so quickly!! Now we just have to be patient and let him get to work on these things! He has committed to updating me as things move along, and I will do the same!

[raceguy246]

Hey, you know what I just realized....

I have no idea what MMI stands for...

is there anyone out there who could help this newb out?

[joshalabama]

Can I have my intake have custom teddy bear artwork?

[CBZx2]

Hey, you know what I just realized....

I have no idea what MMI stands for...

is there anyone out there who could help this newb out?

Montes Motorsports Intake

Atleast Im pretty sure, I have owned one and can't remember for sure haha

but I believe his new business is OEM (Overkill Engineering Motorsports) so are these now OEM intakes technically? haha

[joshalabama]

I'm kidding btw.

[raceguy246]

Thanks for helping a newb....

I'm doing my darndest to stop being one, but its hard, so thanks

[slymjym350]

I'm dumb. I need the IAT hole.... Anyway I can change my original request, or is it too late?

[Big D]

Shouldn't be a problem, I sent mark a message about it!

[CBZx2]

I'm dumb. I need the IAT hole.... Anyway I can change my original request, or is it too late?

If it is too late (even though I highly doubt it is) send me a PM...

[marcus20202]

is it to lait to jump on? i really want 1. this will kick off my modding! i just dont know weather i need an IAT hole. im still inda newbish, whats it for? oh and would i be better off buying the filter off ebay?

[ZX2guy19]

If you have a 98 or a 99.5 you will need an IAT hole. If you have a 99.5 or above, you will not. So basically, what year is your car?

[marcus20202]

98 thanks. whats its purpose?

[ZX2guy19]

Intake Air Temperature. If you have a 98 you will have a 4 wire mass air flow, and with a 99.5+ you will have a 6 wire mass air flow. Basically the IAT is the 2 wires that are the difference in the 98 and 99.5. So basically it is just bringing it up to par of the 6-wire, although it doesn't really hurt anything.

[joshalabama]

Intake Air Temperature, it was a seperate sensor in the 99 and lower instead of being built into the maf. Hence why the maf is 4 wire in the early on's and 6 wire later on. So you will need one, it is just a hole drilled into the intake for you to be able to install your IAT

[joshalabama]

You beat me to it.

[ZX2guy19]

Owned.


:]

[marcus20202]

thanks guys i see know that the group buy had 10 spots and there filled so guess i missed out.. ill have to try and get in touch with dohc v6 for a seperate order

[Big D]

Hey Marcus, I sent him a message asking if he happened to order any extra parts for this go around. Honestly I am betting not since it was originally setup for 10 intakes. Will have to wait and see what his reply is.

****UPDATE****

All payments have now been confirmed!! Great job guys I appreciate everyone hopping right in and getting it taken care of! No lagging payers make group buys so much easier to manage when everyone does their part! :beernana:

At this point we are waiting for parts to arrive. Mark sent me an update:

"I ordered the piping friday, so it should be here latest wednesday. The silicone should be here no later than wednesday. I have to order filters, breathers and clamps. I am almost done making the brackets. Once I get the pipes I will drop them off that day and have the welder start on them. Should be there for a couple days max. Then the kits will ship or go to PC."

Now we just gotta be patient and let Mark do his thing! I will update as we move on!

[foofy]

awesome, cant wait.

[Big D]

Another Update from Mark:

"I droped off the piping to be welded up on friday. I called him and he told me that monday he would start them and probably finish. So it looks like friday will be the ship date for the NON PC and PC a week later."

:supernana:

:supernana:

Confused on shipping date.

You said they will be welded up and finished on Monday for non powdercoated but at the same time you say Friday will be the ship date?

Is that correct or a typo?

[Big D]

I'm understanding that to mean next friday sept 19th.

[joshalabama]

I should get my intake right when I get my car running again, that will be nice.

[Big D]

Mark sent me a quick pic of the tubing at the welders:

[foofy]

shiny. keep us updated :D

[Big D]

UPDATE

We are now in Phase Four: Shipping!!

The first two kit's have been shipped! freaktractor and foofy, yours are en route! I have asked for the tracking numbers and will update you with them when I get them! Please let us know when you recieve them!!

Everyone else hang tight, they are being shipped as they are completed! All the piping is back and getting setup for IAT Holes, and powdercoating! Were getting close!

[joshalabama]

That is fantastic.

[yellow2000S/R]

Glad you are keeping us updated!

Sucks I paid for this almost 2 weeks after I paid for my header and my header wont be here till the end of next week.

[CBZx2]

Kudos to Mark for getting these done so quickly

[Big D]

OK, next up to be shipped are myself and Yellow2000S/R (x2). I will get you tracking numbers when I get them!

[Big D]

OK, tracking numbers for those that have shipped are up on the first page. freaktractor's is pending still due to an address mishap, but its gettin taken care of..

An update on production, Mark is waiting on the rest of the breather elements to arrive which should be tomorrow to send out slymjym's. I am waiting for status on when the powdercoating will be done for the rest of you guys!

[JC'szx2]

nice that was faster than expected

[slymjym350]

sweet, I am super excited to get it!

[Big D]

UPDATE:

Those of you getting Powder Coated Intakes, they are at the powder coaters now! Hang in there!!

Anyone else get theirs in the mail on saturday?? I was hoping mine would make it but it didn't should show up today I'm guessing! Let us know when you get yours delivered!!

[yellow2000S/R]

My fathers and mine arrived today!

Overall I like the setup. Cant wait to get my header/exhaust on so I don't have the bad exhaust leak.


Review:

Overall it looks good. Install was easy. We will be cutting the 90* bend down some so the intake doesn't push on the hood (touches when on safety catch). We wrapped some electrical tape around our IAT sensors because they were loose when pushed all the way in. Why yellow breather filters? Especially when the air filters are red.

[foofy]

mine came in early this morning, didnt expect to get it so quick. cant wait to get it put on in the next couple days :D.

[Big D]

Alright glad to hear you guys got yours! I got mine today as well! Yep overall I think he did a great job!!

I asked him about the yellow breather filters, he said it was simply what was available to get ahold of ASAP so he could get these out to us! Honestly they are like 4 or 5 bucks at auto zone so not too big of a deal to swap out if it really bugs!

I also asked him about the IAT grommets, He had me go take a caliper to mine to get the exact size. He has already ordered replacements for us. He should have them by Wed he said, and will turn around and send them out to those of us with IAT holes as soon as he gets them! :rocknana:

I thought I would put up a couple pics of what the basic kit looks like:

[raceguy246]

I'm super excited!!!

I'm kinda happy if I get the yellow breather filter... Actually, I would love one cuz I've been looking all over for a yellow one and couldn't find one.

any idea as to when the PC'd ones will be shipped, that and how long they take to be shipped?

[Big D]

Raceguy, if yours comes in with a different colored breather I am sure someone will swap with you! Maybe yellow2000 would? If not I would it doesn't matter much to me.

As far as when the PC'd ones will be done, not sure I am guessing this week. They are there now. As soon as they are done he will be shipping them out! Mine would have only taken 3 days from FL to KC but i had a weekend thrown in there.

[Big D]

Alright guys, final progress update!!

The powdercoating was completed today! Mark is picking up the pipes tomorrow morning and will be shipping out all the rest of the kits tomorrow afternoon!! I will update you all with tracking numbers as soon as I get them!

Raceguy, unfortunately the yellow was a mustard yellow. Mark told them to go with the black. Hope this is ok!

Regarding the IAT grommets, he recieved them but the hole was way to small. He will be fixing this and getting them out ASAP!

I really appreciate everyone staying patient!!

[Big D]

Well I have not heard from Mark yet, but I'm sure he got them shipped out he was very adamet about getting them out to you guys yesterday. Hang in there I will get tracking numbers to you guys as soon as I get them!

In the mean time, today I installed mine and made up an installation how to. I dunno if anyone will even need it, but I enjoy doing that kind of thing so here ya go!

Nice write up!

Repped.

[CBZx2]

Very cool write up, that would have been very helpful when I bought mine since it was the first thing I ever did, probably would have sped installation up a little haha

[foofy]

nice write up, wish i had it when we put mine on haha. we pretty much did the same thing putting the mmi in except we started on the other end and worked towards the filter. oh and on the little breather, we were kinda unsure as well, so we just took off the hose going to stock one and just clamped the new little breather on the nipple where the hose connected to. i'll post a pic up later. and yeah, its got a nice new sound to it :biggrin:

[Big D]

Ok guys another update!!

Everyone has now been shipped out except joshalabama. He got the pipes back on friday but wasn't able to get the lazer engraving done on them to get them shipped out. This morning he finished up the lazering and the last one he was working on happened to be for joshalabama. He said in his own words "the coating looked like shit" so he is having it redone at the powder coaters. Should be done today.

I apologize for the delay Josh!! But it sounds like in the long run you will be better off then stuck with a crappy coating job!

I will update the main post with the new tracking numbers!

[joshalabama]

Yay, Everyone except MEEEEEE lol

[slymjym350]

Should I have received mine already?

[JC'szx2]

Posted via Mobile Device update?

[Big D]

everyone has shipped but josh's. The tracking numbers are in the first post! Though it does not look like they have updated to fed-ex's site.. I would say check tomorrow to see if they show up on there.

And again Josh, I'm sorry man!

[joshalabama]

I'm glad he is going back to make sure mine is completely exceptional.

[The_underclassman]

I would like to vouch for dohc v6, his work is exceptional.

[joshalabama]

Mark shipped it to my home address, lol. My mom said I had a package there and I couldn't figure out what it was. So I asked her to open it, and hoped it wasn't a human head. She was so funny trying to describe what she was seeing, then she saw the filter and said this is some air breather thing for your car. She told me the piping was wrapped in foam, so kudos for good packing. I can't wait to see it!

[Buster]

^

Good thing she didn't think it was some kind of smoking device. :D

[joshalabama]

lol, that would have been epic.

[Big D]

Glad it arrived Josh! Sorry about the mess up on the address!

[Apache2k7]

Crap, I missed out. When will the next group buy be on these? Not for a while huh?

[Ali]

Hey Big D . . . I'd be interested in an MMI if there's another group buy . . . December would be ideal, but I'm in no matter when.

[Big D]

Honestly I dunno if it will happen again! Would have to be a pretty big showing of interest and I could talk with Mark about it..

Sorry you guys missed out!

[Ali]

ok, not a problem, if nothing else I may just order one outright at regular price. We'll see what happens.

[Buster]

recieved installed and put car in a ditch to top it all off yeah b!tches thats right in a ditch on my way into wotk that said i like it and it was an easy install looks great as for the car dammage is minimaland is at the tow yard till later this after noon

It added too much power! You can't handle the power of an MMI intake! ;)

[JC'szx2]

btw car is fixed and running damn good

[Big D]

Hey I just thought I would post an update here, for those that are interested. Mark says he will do another Group Buy on the intakes in december if there is enough interest. Would have to be 10 intakes again. IF there is a enough interest ahead of time he said he would go ahead and get all the stuff ordered/instock/produced so that at the time of the group buy other then powder coating they can be shipped as soon as they are paid for!!

Im deff interested who should I contact for info him or are you going to post the info? Looks like the last 1 went smooth and you kkept everyone updated well.
Posted via Mobile Device

[joshalabama]

Hey I just wanted to say that my intake that was the last to ship is completely amazing! The craftsmanship (welds/powdercoating ect) is very well done.

I havn't installed yet because I don't have a working car but just thought I would post for others benifits.

[texzetec]

count me in for the next group buy

[marcus20202]

im in, $ is in tha bank! will there be a new thread for it? :wickywicky:




:partynanas::partynanas::partynanas:

[Big D]

Hey thanks for the interest! Looks like 4 people are interested so far.. I will get with him and find out what date he is looking at.

There will be a new thread for it when we get closer to december, and I dunno if it's good form to put a feeler thread up a month away or not. I'd say for now we go as is, 4 people here on this page alone are interested already. maybe a couple more will chime in.. I'm sure you guys should be enough interest to get the ball rolling on his end, I wouldn't think there would be a problem counting on it happening!

[transatlanticism]

I think I'd like to get in on the next one as well. But we will see for sure when it gets closer.

[NighthawkZX2]

I'm also interested

[doyoucompute]

I'm interested as well.

What about Custom orders?

[marcus20202]

has anyone herd anything? i havent seen any other threads on it. just a lil anxious, ready to start my mod list for my z, this is #1

[serres2]

I'm totally up for it...lookin' to replace this weapon-r piece of crap

[pissdrunx16]

I am also looking to replace my typhoon!!!!! If this group buy is after the strut bar I am toatally down!!!
Posted via Mobile Device

[Apache2k7]

I don't check these forums very often but next time there is a group buy I will get one for sure. So count me in.

[PimpG]

Im down for this one.

[pissdrunx16]

sounds like big d n dohc need to make another gb!!!! LOL I want one also!!
Posted via Mobile Device

[PimpG]

Can i get mine if they decide to go with another group buy, with an IAT hole installed and in powdercoated ford blue in color?

[Nick-ZX2]

Has anyone tested this CAI out yet. Reason I ask is because you get complaints about typhoon and weapon R, so I was wondering how Mark's fared compared to others? Is it actually better or the same, details please.

[CBZx2]

It is 10x better than any others, it has been dyno-proven also

Also Mark said it will probably start december 10th

[ZX2guy19]

I dyno'd 9whp more, but that probably isn't 100% accurate.

[joshalabama]

My car is balls faster with the MMI, it was an immediate difference with full bolt ons swapping from the Ebay CAI to the MMI CAI. I was extremely warry about such a gain on a bolt on car with an intake swapping to another intake, but, the gains are there. Not only does the car sound like there is something under the hood now instead of the loud rasp of ebay intake, it pulls harder.

[Nick-ZX2]

9whp to what? stock or aftermarket I dyno'd 9whp more, but that probably isn't 100% accurate.

[CBZx2]

9whp to what? stock or aftermarket

That was against a Keman I believe

[marcus20202]

[dohc v6]

I will talk to Big D about doing another GB or starting it and I will run it. I know he is slammed at work so I dont want to take anymore time away from him. The GB will start soon, so it will give atleast 2-3 weeks for you to get your money going. I will have all the intakes done, meaing welded, and filters and all the basics before anyone pays. This way if you want a basic CAI it will ship out within 48hr, and if you want a PC one it will take no longer than a week. Not sure if I should start a new thread but if you are in please put your name down. The material did go up, so the prices on the old GB are $8 to low. Please dont think that the normal intakes are going to be the same price they are actually going up $10 so I am giving an extra $2 off.
