Helix | Fall Intercooler Group Buy!

fall-2012-group-buy-mini1_zps22b336b5.jpg


Helix Motorsports presents the Fall 2012 Helix FMIC Group Buy.

This Fall the group buy is better than ever. If you've been waiting to get a Helix intercooler for the right price, wait no longer.

What makes this FMIC group buy special is the guaranteed quick shipping. In the past, you had to wait up to 10 weeks for your intercooler to ship after the group buy ended. Now, your intercooler ships immediately after the group buy ends.

This is a limited-time offer for the Helix FMIC that will only last for 3 weeks, ending Friday November 9th. After that, the price goes back to $749. During these three weeks, you have the opportunity to save a total of $150. Plus you don't have to compromise a good price for extended delivery times.

To reserve your spot on the group buy list, visit the Helix website and add the "Helix Intercooler Group Buy Deposit" to your cart, or just feel free to call us up and we'll take care of you. If you're joining on-line, include your northamericanmotoring screen name and the phrase "MINI FMIC Group Buy" in the additional comments section on the checkout screen.

The non-refundable deposit is $75 and guarantees you an intercooler for the group buy price of $599. Your $75 deposit goes toward your payment for the intercooler, so after you pay the deposit your remaining balance will be $524 (plus shipping costs and tax for PA resdients). When the group buy ends, Helix will contact you to confirm your payment method and billing/shipping address.

There are only a limited number of intercoolers in stock for this group buy, so reserve your spot today!

Got one, but if you don't have one, get one...It is that good. If you track your car or are looking at getting a tune, get one, it is a must.

To clarify: the Helix intercooler will fit 2012 cars with the new bumper reinforcement without any cutting.

Out of curiosity, since there are a limited number of them, if they all sell out before the deadline, will you guys be able to ship sooner?

They probably won't go out much early: we still haven't begun prep and polish, which takes some time. We do have a few in stock right now but I like to have extra in the shop for local installations.

Hey everyone! A lot of you have been asking about the black FMICs for the group buy so let me fill you in.

At the beginning of the group buy, we had 2 black Helix FMIC prototypes. These were the first black Helix FMICs we ever had so we weren't advertising them for sale. However, a few people interested in the group buy asked about black Helix FMICs and we figured we'd accommodate these few with the few we had.

We're looking into getting some polished FMICs powder coated in black by a local professional, but, since we never used him for these purposes, we're not sure about how they'll compare with the 2 black prototypes we currently have. Also, there will be an additional cost (tagged on to the group buy price) and a later shipping date if you decide you want a powder coated one. We wish we could get more black FMICs from the same person who coated the prototypes in time for GB shipping, but these orders need to be placed months in advance.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to shipping the Helix FMICs for the group buy out in 9 days!

Any questions, feel free to post or shoot me a PM.

Rob,
I bought an aluminum radiator that was satin black anododized (sp?) for my other car. The part is a work of art, I wonder if that is an option for you on black, rather than powder coating? just a thought, the radiator was from Mark 7 in Michigan. A black Helix FMIC is the perfect option for me. I like the idea of supporting your development efforts, but don't want to have my car look like it was modded.

Good luck,
Mike
