Hello,

For anybody in the tri-state area, I've got a group buy going on for the brass tryolsport brake caliper bushings. Can get them @ 101 each.

Details here.

And for those not in the area, I can ship them out to you for an additional $6, still a savings of $24.

Hmm that is sounding good. Would you take PayPal for an order shipped to San Antonio, Texas?

Sure. I haven't worked out the payment details yet but I might have people from out-of-state deal directly with TyrolSport and just mention that they are part of the group buy.

Will let you know.

Are you definitely in?

For anyone with stock calipers, this is a great item!

Not so bling, and doesn't give any HP, but will improve braking and pad life. Also, if you have a BBK but stock calipers in the rear, a half kit (one axel) will work for you.
They normally retail for $120, so it's a good savings....

That's cool.

The group buy will end on Wednesday Apr-12-2006. I spoke to TyrolSport today.

If anyone wants them shipped direct, the cost will be $7, directly shipped from them.

As a recap (you can check nemini.org as well), here is how the payment works:

I will get a list of everyone who is in the group buy and you will each pay Micahel vial Paypal (or whatever method you want, I can arrange that) and mention the group buy name (still to be determined).

If you want the items shipped directly to you, then it will cost $7 from Tyrol Sport.

If you want me to pick 'em up and hand it to you, you save yourself $7.

I don't want to have anything to do with the money (plus service charges for Paypal make it not worth the trouble).

If people are interested, we can do an install day somewhere, somehow. Otherwise, if I don't hear any feedback, I'll just put together a list of names, e-mails, product wanted, and send it over to Michael @ Tyrolsport and he can send the money requests.

And also to be safe for everyone, please make sure you have a confirmed address in your Paypal account.

If anybody has any questions, please let me know.

I hope this is clear.

By the way, we have 10 committed people (I believe) as of right now.

Please count me in

I would like to participate. Please add me to the list. I live in Austin, TX, so I will contact them directly, but need to have the group buy name.

I have a MINI S '03.

Well folks I got some updated news from Tyrol Sport. Evidently he didn't think I was going to be able to gather up 10 users so quickly! Unfortunately he only has 5 full sets in stock and a new batch is slated to arrive in ~3 weeks.

So, until then, I'll just keep the group buy open. I've e-mailed him asking him if we ever got to 20 buyers if the price could be dropped even more.

Will keep you all updated.

Apologies for the delay.

Keeping the group buy open is great for me as I could use more time.

Too bad I didn't find this early enough to jump on the first 5 sets. I wanted to get mine done before a DE at the end of this month. Guess I'll have to pay full price somewhere else
