Bisimoto Engineering - Group Buys

[JohnBoy]

so are we sending the money strait to bisimoto?

[2drSE-i]

so are we sending the money strait to bisimoto?

Yes, absolutely. No middle man to get fucked on here

[JFern]

Alright, I will buy a cam gear and 2 gaskets 2drSE-i, but we need to start ironing out the specifics.....

So since we are paying Bisimoto ourselves, do we just tell them we are part of a group buy? Or do we need to specifically order from someone like Justin? When do we need to pay by? How long will it take until i actually GET the gear and gaskets?

[2drSE-i]

Well JFern, alot of your questions I can't really answer. We will be paying bisimoto directly, not a middle man. We can discuss it with Justin. I can almost promise you it won't take months and months for us to get our parts, but it will depend greatly on when we place our order. We won't be able to pay until everyone has committed.

I will say interest in the Intake gaskets is a lot higher than i expected. 13 more cam gears and 33 more gaskets to go!

[turabaka]

Throw me in for a gasket too.

[Vanilla Sky]

I didn't expect this kind of turnout so fast! Maybe this is how group buys need to take place around here.

Justin, if a header were to be developed, I would also expect a group buy situation. Could you ask Bisi how many headers would be required to get it off the ground? I think we'd be able to swing about 10 people in short order, maybe a few more if the timing is right.

[JFern]

Thanks 2drSE-i .... I understand we can't place the order until everyone has committed, and i am glad there is no middle man (shudders thinking about b series mounts group buy situation). But i do see a potential problem in the future, production is going to be up to the last person that pays (since "committing doesn't cost money) and in my experience, car guys are like musicians and can be flaky (since i am both i should know haha) so it could potentially be months and months if anyone backs out (which would SUCK).

I am suggesting that once we get close to our goal of 20 gears or 50 gaskets (since the goals might not be met at the same time) we set a date to have everyone ready to order so that we don't get "im not ready yet" or whatever (personally, i have already set the money aside so i don't f#ck it up. That way, if everyone orders within a couple of days we don't have to wait for stragglers that, unbeknownst to the forum, have not paid (thus causing a delay for those that have).

That being said, I REALLY hope everyone gets on board for this group buy, aftermarket parts are hard to come buy, and QUALITY ones are even harder to get......

[Pico]

put me down for a gasket

[snoopyloopy]

alright guys i got the shipping prices figured out for the cam gears.

To the Continential 48 states: $15 shipping
International Shipping & Hawaii: $20 shipping

wut? how is it $15 shipping? you can throw several of them into a small usps priority mail box for $9 to anywhere in us. or you could even wrap it in bubble wrap and stuff it into a priority envelope for $5. or maybe even less in one of those padded manila envelopes.

anyway, that aside, i already have an acg sitting in my closet for the last two years, but i might express interest in a gasket at some point. but don't list me just yet, as i can just drive over to bisi's later if i don't have the $$ by buy time. that aside, the gasket works by insulating the intake manifold from the hot head which can then reduce the amount of heat the intake charge is exposed to before entering cylinders. as we all know, cold air means more air. but it might be kinda negated by the manifold water jacket, so if you put one on, you might not want to hook the water back up (those hoses are a massive pain to deal with anyway).

Sounds like a good idea to me. I don't know about everyone else, but if I say to put me on a group buy list it means I already have the money in hand ready to go.

Done

I didnt think so either, crazy lol. I think its the lack of needing to trust someone on here lol. And the fact that the gaskets are under 50 bucks

I will look into this. If it is a possibility, I will let you know.

What we have done before is this:

Anyone who wants to be apart of the group by will need to send me there contact information.(name,email,contact number) You can either email,pm or call me.

Once the group buy goal has been met, I will contact everyone part of the group buy and begin to collect the resources for the items.

I have to get the specifics on the time frame but I will look into that for you and get back to you.

[Sh4d0w]

I'm in for a gear and a gasket. Contact info sent.

[2drSE-i]

OK Heres the scoop guys.

Ill continue to update the list. When you e-mail/pm/whatever Justin@bisimoto, post that you've done this, and ill update the list accordingly. This is just so we on the forum can keep track of where we are at.
