Group Buy: Exhuast Wrap

do we know when the stuff might come in? Sounds like Eric's working on it pretty hard. Just hoping it comes in soon; I want to install my uppipe sometime in the next couple weeks.

 

i am not sure when it will get here.

 

They are doing a "Buisness Check", what ever that means. I was hoping for an answer Wensday...... I wanted a tranny in next monday for anther freind. I am getting inpatiant myself with these guys. I am sorry that this is taking this long.

I will let you guys know the instance I know.

 

Thanks for the update Grimm.

 

Is this going anywhere ?!?!?

 

Grimm is super busy from what i hae heard. so i really dont wanna go buggin him about it. last i heard they were talking to the company about the order.

 

If its not here before the Duluth trip I will have to buy the wrap elsewhere or I may go without it. My dp is scheduled to arrive on the 13th and will be installed before Duluth with or without wrap.

 

^you can still put the wrap on when its on your car. just not as easy as if it were off

 

but you wouldn't be able to spray sealant, at least not a proper job.

I'm kinda in the same boat with my uppipe (installing soon). But I guess I could always hold on to the wrap for when I get a downpipe.

With a flex uppipe, would you guys just wrap the exposed ends on either side of the flex? Do you think there'd be any trouble from a heat differential at the boundaries of the wrap <-> flex?

 

Sorry, I have been in meetings all day today. I got a message from Soren this morning and I should have posted it earlier, but anyways point being we are going to go with the new supplier. It will take probably 2 weeks for things to show up.

Also to this with this initial buy in we are going to let everyone out of the subaru club to ge anything that they supply at cost. Soren will be writing what up for people to see.

 

w00t, i may be buying more than just this wrap then.

 

lets see what else this supplier can get.

 

Specificaly for the pipe wrap it looks like it is Cool It from Thermo Tech.
They have a ton of differnt ones with differnt layering styles, and also a specific turbo kit for wraping the turbo and down pipe. Thermo Tech also has the hightemp covering spray. My guess is that it will be under 10. Anyways I hope we have all the prices soon. Can you belive they wanted a picture of our store front? Sorry that I havent been so comunacative. I would tell you all what I have to finish at work but it would just put you into a coma of bordom..... anyways here is thermotec's web page you you guys can check out their wrap and see if that is ok with you.

So some of the other manufatures lines that we can get are, Borla, flowmaster, Roush, AutoMeter, Cyberdyne, Aerospace, SSBC, WilWood, US Break, MSD, Power Master, APC, Simpson, G-Force, Bla Bla Bla

There is still a chance that they will say no but I realy think this is going to happen by thursday.

 

damn..high heat exhaust coating that is good up to 2000 degrees instead of the usualy 1400-1600 degrees. i need to get me some of that. There is a bunch of stuff here that i am interested in. we need some prices.

 

double post. Here are some of the common products. Prices are from Jegs so i'm sure if we are getting them at cost it will be considerably cheaper.

header wrap 1x50 - 22.99
copper header wrap 1x50 - 29.99
starter heat shield - 22.99
hi-heat coating - 6.99
turbo wrap -82.99

 

Yes, it will be cheeper then jegs retail, but considerably might be a little of an overstatment. Probably 8-15% is my guess. Remember there is shipping too but I don't think that stuff is very heavy.

 

mmmm... That turbo wrap kit and the aluminized heat barrier sure look tastey. :twisted:

 

cool, i will have to look through that website when i get a chance.

FYI: they need a pic of the store front to ensure that you arent just going to go ebay the stuff you get at uber cheap. alwso to make sure you are a legit business.

 

Putting it that way makes complete sense, but the reality is that you probably can do that anyways..

 

Ok some people asked about web sites to look at. The supplier can basicaly get anthing jeg's summit, day motorsports has. You can E-mail me and I will send it on to Soren or send soren your requests at [email protected].

 

pm'd you

 

Ok everyone Soren is in L.A. for the weekend and a little bit. He is still on this through the net, but they didn't get back to us yesterday, so I am going to assume that he will not get internet soon enough for me to post during work hours today for prices. I am sorry that this is going this slow. I have a lot more respect for people like Nathane doing his own buisness so to speak.

 

speaking of nathan(wrxboy2003)...where is that chump?????

 

Last I hear he had the engine and trany out of that RX-7 that he got from us, so he is probably ignoring everyone and plaing with the new toy

 

you gave nate a rx7?

 

No he purchased an older one to fix up. Nice little project car. I have 2 more for sale that are for the most part project cars. One that needs a little carb work and another that I haven't inspected yet, but it did drive back from 169 and 694 to 13 and 35W. I probably will not get a chance to realy check it out untill next week. Work is killing me.

 

is it an FC or FB?

 

probably older since hes talking about carbs, could be wrong though

 

Nathin got a 13b, and it is injected. We have another one with a carb and the 12 (I think) and the newest one (I can't belive he bought it.....)... I think it is injected but I haven't had time to take a look.

 

ok. so back to topic. grimm?

 

The word is that it is in their court to say yes or no to our buisness account....

I didn't get a chance to talk to Soren yesterday, but I will call him after work today. He is still in LA untill next week. Trust me I want this going ASAP too. I have a few more parts to get for the Vet, and a bunch of other things.

 

New update: Soren and I are going to turn in the order Wenday even if they haven't gotten back to us. Soren was talking to some people and the indicated that it goes quicker if you do it that way. Any question call Soren at 763-350-4976

 

twiddling thumbs..........

 

Well they finaly said we were not in buisness long enough. So it will be back to the first people. Soren is the one that is taking care of this, so any questions call him at 763-350-4976.
Justing - why does the thread turn the "Watch this topic for replies" off

Here is the rest of the good bad and ugly.
1) Soren's brother comited suicide last week
2) I am going to be come a father
3) My freinds just had a kid.
Some weeks just don't make sense.

 

Well things are getting back to normal around here.... what ever that is. Anyways soren is back from his brothers funural and I am back from the my emergancy trip to South Dakota, that put me inthe middle of no were for the last week... I am going to get soren to post on here because I don't want to be relaying stuff for him. Because It has been so long, which I am realy realy sorry about, we should make sure people want the same stuff.

 

Sorry this has taken so long. The order is ready to go in, finally, and I apologize for the extreme slowness of it all.

For those patient enough to still be interested, please email Soren directly with you wants and they will be added to the order. The order shoul be here just after Thanksgiving. email: [email protected]

Thanks

 

are we to email him about the stuff we want in addition to the wrap or just the wrap(as in the first post)?

 

i dont know. but i emailed him last week and i have yet to receive a response. mine was just for the wrap and some spray.

 

what kinda spray do they have? 1200/1600/2000F?

 

not exactly sure. i asked soren if the email if they made anything that would hold up to our heat.

 

still no answer from soren. i'm deleting this group buy very very soon.

 

i havent gotten a response back yet either. i think i am gonna try and find some wrap at local auto stores. if i find some i will no longer be in on the buy.

 

this is dead. i'm ending it.
