Wanted to know if anyone knows of a group buy going on or how many people are interested.

 

+1

 

Look at Howerton Engineering. They make car-specific AM kits. I have installed several kits for the R53--they are complete, high-quality, and Jeff Howerton is very good with customer service.

 

i'd be in for the group buy

 

I would be interested as well. Was thinking of doing this during the summer, but for the right price I could push up the schedule.

Also +1 on Howerton, their offering for the R56 seems pretty unbeatable.

 

Hey Helix, Any pics of the install on the R53? What was total installed cost?

 

Group buy is 10.. I guess it wont happen since we dont have enough people.

 

Get a formal list together and i'm sure you can get 10 between now at lets say april for the beginning of the season!

 

I dont want to wait that long and it's only a $100.00 off..

 

It's on their company web site, page down for pics Aquamist

 

Only a hundred dollars!? That's a lot of beer and pizza!

I'd be interested in getting in on a group buy.

If you start a thread with a new more accurate title and a detailed description on what the deal is 10 people might pop up relatively quickly.

 

I'd be in for the Howerton also. They have done a group buy before, maybe 6 months ago. I think it was more then $100 off. Maybe they would do it again with another group.

 

Check out http://howertonengineering.com/2012/02/hfs-4-group-buy/ for their new HFS-4 GB starting 2/14/2012 (according to their web site). Price hasn't been posted yet. Might be my next upgrade!

 

Nice find. I'm in for the above group buy!

 

I've now signed up for the group buy. The HFS-4 is a perfect system for the r56.

 

I'm not sure this group buy is a deal. Once you buy the mini specific tank you're at the same price as retail for the hfs-3 mini cooper specific kit.

 

ITs all in what you want. With a water injection kit i see it as a time consuming thing to install and if your going to do the job right you might as well start with the best so you're not doing the job twice when you now feel the need to upgrade.

An intake can be installed in an hour, this cannot. Do it once and do it right has always been my moto!

 

Thanks, I got in the the group buy

 

Thinking of this too from other side of the pond.

Didn't you start the thread saying you wanted to Aquamist W/M GB? But if time wasn't an issue (waiting), you'd still be getting $100 off, right? Not sure how that changes things if its still 100$ off.. then it sounds you don't like the GB price, then why look to start a gb? confused, lol.

Side note, I love my Howerton Engineering Aquamist HFS3 kit. It couldn't be more tailored to our specific car. From nozzles to jets to fittings to the tank, to the w/m control box, it really is set up specifically for our cars.

 

So for the same price you're getting a better kit... I don't see you're point.

 

I don't think it's the same price. I believe when I checked the Group Buy is the for a non mini specific model and doesn't include the tank. The tank in the mini specific version is something like $249.99. I could be wrong...

 

I just might have to get in on the GB . . . .
