Group Buys: What kinds of things are you interested in ?

07chupacabra · 01-13-2015, 12:52 PM

So the group walnut blasting is going pretty well, I was talking to Luther and he was asking me to post this up. He's looking to host other group buys but he's trying to gauge interest to figure out costs etc. He's pretty well versed and said he can handle all mechanical aspects of this car (correct me if I'm wrong Luther).

I'm quite nit-picky by who I have my car serviced by and he was great. I'm sure others will attest.

Post up different jobs you guys are thinking of having done to your car, I don't think he has an alignment shop or body shop though. I'll make a poll soon. But here are a few things I was thinking you guys might have interest in.

Valve cover gasket
OFGH gasket
Walnut Blasting
(I'm sure those 3 can be combined into one thing to give you a pretty big discount on labor).
Suspension refresh/upgraded components
Coding(possibly)
Retrofits(?)
Turbo replacements
Transmission fluid flush/service

I don't know about discounts on parts but I was thinking of that also, Performance Exhaust comes to mind.

I think a group suspension buy would be popular. Things like Turbo replacements are probably too isolated to be needed by 10, 15+. There are some great resources for coding around here already.

Was it Harold that provided discounted M3 suspension kits ?

AA tunes!

Custom alignments would be rad.

Hmm this is a tuff one. Stuff like suspension installs take up a good amount of time but that is something I could see people taking advantage of when spring nears
