Any INTEREST in Other GROUP BUYS??? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

guinnessdood · 08-05-2006

What ideas do y'all have for additional group purchases? Let's put some thought into this thread and save some $$$!

Things like...
1.) Samco Air Duct - I know we can do this for ~$130 (new list price is $175)
2.) Spark Plug Wires - you tell me the brand and so on
3.) 160 deg Thermostat - I think $125 is WAY TOO much for a thermostat
4.) Short Shifter - Hurst
5.) C5 Brakes (or other brakes)
6.) Accel injectors - the new ones that work for us - with the correct O-rings (less than 1/2 the price of the best injectors (RC))...but still MUCH better than our stock injectors.
7.) Your idea here...

How about 4.10 Dana Super 44 gear sets??? (or other ratios) along with the speedo correction gears.

C4 Beam Plates?

Coil Overs? (I know...pricey mod)

I started this thread three times before it stuck...One time when I typed the post..it included the Ron Davis Radiator. I agree...let's try to do a Group Buy on them.

I think this will be in the $400-500 range...but the benefits are significant. The stock radiator is dismal and made quite cheaply...too cheap for an LT5 for sure. I will look into the Ron Davis Group Buy. I have the e-mail address for Doug Schulz (General Manager for Ron Davis Radiators)...and will inquire about a Group Purchase price for us.

Uly,

I'm down for the coils as long as we can find a place or someone to put them on?
I also need those plug wires...how about MSD and why not a new thermostat and injectors....and the list goes on

It all sounds good...We just need to approach things one at a time...unless someone else wants to do some leg work. I think the Ron Davis Radiator is the #1 priority ...at least for my car....that and better driving capabilities! Mikko...maybe you could give me a lesson! :-)

Good ideas Uly, thanks for driving this....beam plates seem like a good one, inexpensive and a must for most Z owners I think. Plug wires also sound good, I think the MSD wires are fairly popular.

Hell, I'm interested in about all of 'em...but since wife and I are in the process of international adoption right now, all spare pennies are going to that right now so I may have to wait a while

No worries...let's just throw up some ideas...but not literally... LoL

Uly,

So i guess we are going to take our cars apart at the same time. I need to hurry up and to start collect some new parts to go under the plenum
