New Silicon Hoses Group Buy

[jayjay99]

Right, following on from this (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11194) thread, I'm desperate for these so I've decided to have a go at negociating with SFS (http://www.sfsperformance.co.uk/), they are still prepared to do some hoses for the VR-4 So here we start again, I managed to get them to agree to making them for a minimum of 10 sets which will probably cost £140-£150 each but if we can get it up to 20 sets I'm sure I might be able to barter lower than that.
They said they can't say for definate on price until they have a set of hoses to measure the bore diameters etc, so we'll need a set of hoses to post to them or if someone lives locally take their car down. Before we send off any hoses he said to give them a call as they are moving soon, they are currently on Kingsway Industrial estate, Kingsway, Luton. Tel:01582 488040 I spoke to Lee. Sorry to tread on any toes, just thought I would get the ball rolling, Nutter_John, I know you said about speaking to them, at any point if you wanna take over I don't mind.

The colour options are: Blue-Red-Black-Purple-Green-Yellow and now they do Orange too!

PRICE IS £170.50 WHICH INCLUDES MURRAY CONSTANT TENSION CLAMPS

Show of hands if you are interest and what colour you'd want.

Who's sending them some hoses then?

[Axeboy]

Axeboy - Blue

[bernmc]

Me - blue. Can you specify exactly which hoses we'd be getting - I'd like to include the bits that attatch to the intercooler as well...

[jayjay99]

I'm not sure to be honest, I said to them it was the turbo air intake hoses, 5 altogether. It's a case of sending them all the hoses we want doing. We can include the intercoller ones as well, but we wont know how much exactly it will cost until they have a set. My vr4 is my only transport so I can't help in that department. Is anyone stripping down an engine at present? I'll ask to two that are breaking the Legnums.

[colVR4]

Blue please.

[caishanvr4]

BLUE (prov)

[jayjay99]

Right, I've spoken to Dave, aka Legnum breaking and he still has the hoses, we just need to decide on which ones we need, can someone pm him possibly with a list of the hoses, with as much info as possible to make sure we have the right ones. I said I don't mind buying them off him. If someone does if they can just let us know the outcome.

[bernmc]

Yes, should be five if we're sticking to air hoses - two to intercooler itself (underneath the car), then elbow at back of engine (driver's side), and two big hoses near the front of the engine (2,4 & 5 in the pic).

We just need to bear in mind the cusco hard pipe kit (http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/item_detail.php?prodID=444001329) that funky can supply for the VR4 - this has all the jubilee clips and stuff included, and it's hard pipes rather than silcone. £220 + post. (no intercooler pipes though)

You'd be surprised at how much decent jubilee clips cost...!

If the new kit is any more expensive than the £140-150 quoted here, I'd probably go for the cusco kit.

[jayjay99]

ok, cheers bern, I'll pass that on to dave.

[ghanda]

A set for me please!

[jayjay99]

A set for me please!

Ok, Colour?

[Kalle]

What about hoses to the cooler (not the intercooler)?

I'm interested if more hoses than the cusco kit can be made or if the price is lower than £150

I think I would go with blue..

[Rally205]

I will take two sets. One Red and one Green.

[jayjay99]

Kalle, the hoses will be the ones as set out by bernmc, 5 in total. I'm pretty deffinate that the price will be lower than £150 but again I'll have an absolute price before we go ahead.

[jayjay99]

Note to all: The price I'm quoting is purely for the hoses, I don't know how much postage will be, I'll see if they'll post them out directly after manufacture, if not I'll distribute them by post but this will be an additional cost but only a couple of quid or something.

[Rally205]

Get the two that go to the intercooler aswell otherwise there is no point in having any of them.

Do you mean the lower Intercooler hoses Marcus? Cus they aren't in Bern's pic

Like these blue ones:

http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9413&d=1143363571

[jayjay99]

I think it'll be the black ones in the pic?

[conaboy]

Put me down for a set of blue hoses.

[bernmc]

These two - not in my original pic, but in the description. Makes a total of FIVE hoses. Y'all happy now? FIVE. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

JayJay got it first time... :inquisiti

Take me now! /help

[jayjay99]

Cheers bernmc :happy:. Right, progress so far, I've bought a set of hoses off LegnumBreaking and he's posting them directly off to SFS as we speak so they can measure them up. I've also sent the pictures from this thread to SFS to show the pipes and where they mount in the engine bay for logos etc and to make sure we get the right ones. To doubly make sure I might even go to Luton before they start to double check them and take some pictures to ensure the correct hoses and let SFS look at my engine. If anyone with a bit more experience in pipes etc wants to meet me down there it would most appreciated.

[Spirit]

As Bern mentioned earlier in this thread, have you also considered the additional cost of decent jubilee clips - they could set you back an addtional £30 - £40 on top of the price for the hoses.

[jayjay99]

As Bern mentioned earlier in this thread, have you also considered the additional cost of decent jubilee clips - they could set you back an addtional £30 - £40 on top of the price for the hoses.

Well just so everyone knows, I'm pricing for hoses, so as Spirit says, take into consideration the jubilee clips. Spirit, not knowing much about this myself, could we not just use the clips that are on there? Also where do you find decent jubilee clips? I had a look on ebay and they all just say 'jubilee clips' and what a couple of quid for them.

[Spirit]

SFS can price up the correct size clips for you - but I was advised to change them all when I did my SFS connectors, personal choice I guess, but one of my uprated clips even came loose recently and I was losing boost.

I wish you the best of luck, but think ultimately the overall cost will result in making the Cusco kit a good proposition.

[jayjay99]

Ok, once I get an estimate I'll get them to price up the jubilee clips too, and then that is an alternative option for people to consider. I have considered the Cusco kit quite a bit but I'd also like the intercooler pipes and also the coloured pipework is a plus for me :)

Might be worth mentioning the price & availability of the cusco kit to them, Jayjay - might make them stay competitive.

Yeah, I'll do that, where is the Cusco kit from?

SORRRRRRRYYYYYY!!!!

Happy now?

[bradc]

I would also suggest that you get the pipe from the maf to the turbos replaced, that pipe is easily 5 times as restrictive as the stock pipe, especially going to the front turbo, it is a mess of tight bends, the cross section constantly changes shape and size, it's just a disaster!

[Axeboy]

Ive looked at that pipe already and sure its not a simple case of changing the pipe... might be wrong tho'

Im sure it has a few 6mm T-piece's cut into it....

[jayjay99]

Well the pipes are already sent off, might cause too much hassel to add to it. Plus a pipe like that may increase the total cost a fair bit.

[bernmc]

Jayjay - another thought. Might be nice to price individual pipes or sets - so if someone got the cusco stuff, they could get the intercooler pipes from SFS...

[Nutter_John]

Hi Axeboy

No probs with you taking this on - I'm off work at the minute as I've done my back in so not been able to contact them .


And when this good through please put me down for a set of red ones


Cheers John

[jayjay99]

Jayjay - another thought. Might be nice to price individual pipes or sets - so if someone got the cusco stuff, they could get the intercooler pipes from SFS...

Yeah, sure, I'll ask them when I price the rest up.

[colVR4]

I have spoken to DME motorsport on the Leyland Estate, Wellingborough. They can make up a silicon hose set for us. The boss, Nick will take on the tooling costs but he needs a set of hoses to borrow.

I need mine so I was wondering if there is anybody else that can lend me a set. I think it would be worthwhile getting a second quote so that we can compare the two.

DME motorsport are part of the D1 drift team. They specialise in modding Jap cars and will do just about anything you can think of.

[jayjay99]

That's great, I bought mine from LegnumBreaking as I'm in the same boat and need mine, hopefully someone can lend you a set that doesn't need them. Or if someone lives near DME motorsport they can pop down in their car.

[Dream Weaver]

Me please, in red

[conaboy]

Any further forward with the hoses?

Any idea about the diameter of these hoses, assuming they will be larger than the originals?

Looking at the cusco hard pipe kit and tbh it looks very similar in diameter to the originals. http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/item_detail.php?prodID=444001329

Dont know what the ideal size is but was thinking a bit bigger is better:scholar:

This article gives some sizes, maybe too big and put the turbos under too much strain??

Anyone have any thoughts on this

http://www.clubvr4.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=9564

[WildCards]

They won't be bigger, they just won't swell as much as the standard ones, meaning more pressure which is better. The Cusco hard pipe kit looks lovely, but it's only 3 pipes, not 5 and it's alot of wonga.

[LPRVR4]

Please add me to the list for a set in red, Thanks

[jayjay99]

Right, an update, I've just phoned them and their pricing it up as we speak, I've gotta phone back in 20 minutes, after a good quarter of an hour bartering he initially said an estimate of £140-£150 for the hoses but as Spirit was saying that the clamps are about £20-£30 a set so I asked him what the best clamps are and he was raving on about the Murray constant tension clamps, they're meant to be the dogs b0ll0x, I was saying that these clamps on top of the cost of the hoses may push most of the people over to the cusco hard pipes, so he said he's gonna go away and do a one time only price up and give us as good a deal as possible.

[jayjay99]

If we do get them from here is someone willing to come down and check the first set of pipes over with me, either fit them on their car or my car, just to make sure before they run off 20 sets, as I bought these pipes off LegnumBreaking and he posted them straight to SFS for me. Just wanna make sure.

[WildCards]

oooh, this is starting to sound tempting. I wonder how good a one time only price is?

[jayjay99]

Who knows, but sounds good doesn't it! :) I'll give him a call now.

[jayjay99]

Right, I've spoken to him and he said, "The best we can do and that's the absolute best is £145" I thought fantastic, but that was excluding VAT! Why do people quote without VAT, pi$$es me off! So total they want comes to just over £170. That does include the Murray constant tension clamps though.

Verdicts/Opinions please?

I myself am a bit dis-heartened, I'd probably still pay that but I don't think we'll be able to get that many people together on that price.

[conaboy]

Still 50 quid cheaper than the cusco set with the 2 intercooler pipes. I'll still take a set

[jayjay99]

Ok, I'll mark you as confirmed on the first page.


For everyone else please confirm if you are still interested and I'll mark you up on the front page. It's £170.50, I'll send pm's or emails to everyone on the list, if everyone is ok with that and has confirmed they are ok with the price then we can go ahead, well we might need a couple more too to make up the numbers.

[Axeboy]

I'll take a set

[WildCards]

Can anyone purchase them and lose the VAT? That would be handy. How many confirmed people do you need to get this price?

[Kalle]

Is that price without P&P?
I'll have a set if I can pay for them in the end of June (no money until then..)

[jayjay99]

Can anyone purchase them and lose the VAT? That would be handy. How many confirmed people do you need to get this price?


That would be handy, Anyone?
I've spoken to him again, he said ideally we'd need to get 15 people together, if we get that many confirmed then we will need at least a 20% deposit but I think it would be best if everyone that can paid in full otherwise once they're made we don't want issues with people not being able to pay them. Kalle I suppose that will be fine if you waited until the end of June. The price does not include P&P, I think the way I'll do it is arrange payment and postage through SFS, that way everyone will get their own invoice etc. So they can pay them £170.50 and whatever it is for postage. once they have the deposit then they can start manufacture of the tools, this takes 3-4 weeks to complete, after that they'll produce one set as a trial, this is to fit a car to make sure everything looks and fits ok, also this will give the chance for any one to see what they look like and maybe jump in and join the group buy, once that's confirmed then production of the rest of the sets can go ahead. I asked if 8 weeks in total is a good estimate of the timescale and he said if we allowed 8 weeks that would more than cover for it and they'd all be done by then.

[WildCards]

Excellent, good work Jay :thumbsup:

[jayjay99]

Excellent, good work Jay :thumbsup:

So does this mean I can put you as confirmed? :D

I spoke to him, again, they're ok to arrange postage, this will probably be around £7 for next day courier. I'll sending a pm around to every one on the list asking for confirmation, quoting the price and asking for name, address and e-mail address. This info I'll forward on to SFS and they will contact you individually with an invoice.

Silicon Hose Group Buy

Hi all, I'm pm'ing you in regards to the Silicon group buy here (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15768), we're in the final stages of this group buy and providing we can get at least 15 sets together we'll all have lovely coloured silicon hoses. Please reply to this pm or e-mail me at kench06@gmail.com and let me know if you still want these hoses or not, if so put your name, address and e-mail address, I will pass these details on to SFS performance and they will contact each of you individually with an invoice for your set(s).

The price is £170.50, this includes the 3 turbo hoses, two intercooler hoses all in a colour of your choice and ten Murray constant tension clamps to secure the hoses, bear in mind these clamps normally cost in the region of £30 a set. Postage will be about £7 for next day courier. All prices will be laid out in the invoice.

Hopefully we'll all have nice silicon hoses soon enough and our VR-4's will be thanking us for them :)

If you have any questions, have a read through the thread (esp page 3), contact me or post on the thread and I'll answer as soon as possible.

Many thanks,

Jason.

JayJay, did you manage to get a separate price for the two intercooler pipes + clips? If I'm suddenly struck rich, I'd consider the cusco kit + those two pipes. Likely to bve a full set of these though...

I'm not sure whether you've missed the boat or not though Mr Voodoo. These where sent off a couple of weeks ago, you might be able to get an order in though.

[jayjay99]

Dunno, Jay?

One step at a time :happy: I'll probably get the standard vacumm ones etc but I don't know about getting another set of silicon hoses made up.
I've phoned them but there's a message service saying that their phone system is down during the change over. I left a message and hopefully they'll get back to me.

[zentac]

Ive just been to a company down the road from me, they use to deal alot with SFS and Samco, both became to busy and too expsive so they now make thier own, with very quick turn arrounds. Ive just bought some from them and it is as good as the others and cheaper. If you want me to look into it.

[jayjay99]

Well they just phoned me back and are apparently be contacting everyone shortly, should be by the end the day.

Sorry for the delay in responding

We have recently moved to our new production facility and have been
without phone or fax lines for approximately 2 weeks....this has caused
one or two problems!!



The sample hoses provided by Jason have been sent to our toolmaker, all
being well we should receive the tools in approx 14-21 days.

We will then produce a sample kit for fitment, once approved we will
then produce your individual orders.



Once the phone lines are up and running I will give you a call and take
deposits etc from you. Would you all please email me a contact number.

[jayjay99]

it looks like they have sent an e-mail to everyone


Yeah, I recieved that too and sent back a contact number.

Coolant pipes as well richard :inquisiti what sort of clips. what was wrong with your hard pipes???

[jayjay99]

Right, quick update guys, I just gave them a call as it's been a while and I haven't heard much, they sent the pipes off to their tool manufacturer a couple of weeks ago and are expecting the tools back in the next week or so, when they get them, they'll get in touch with each of us to let us know and will probably take the deposit then.

These buggers are taking forever... and the p! How long can in take to tool up and produce eh?

We're three months down the road. Looks like it may be the cusco bits for me as soon as I get hold of some of that back pay :(

I'm fully with you, to be honest the way that they've messed everyone around I don't think they should get our business! I was ringing them every week and they kept saying the tools are being manufactured, it wont be long. I'm really sorry about all this, I tried my hardest to get this group buy off the ground and they let me down!!! /Grrr

[Axeboy]

Nothing to do with you bud, :)

Youve been a good help, its just they are taking longer than expected :)

[WildCards]

Yeah, it's not your fault Jay don't worry about it.

[Spirit]

Put the ball back in their court - tell them they are about to lose the entire order, unless they come up with a discount to keep everyone happy.....got nowt to lose if you're gonna cancel anyway

[colVR4]

Yeh, great work on your part to get things moving, but I am getting tired of waiting.

Personally, I find Funky Pr:greedy:duct, Sum:greedy: and C:greedy::greedy:rdsp:greedy:rt unacceptably expensive. That said I hear you do get good service from them.

I'll try a few places too.
