Ok, i see some other posts about ProtegeGarage.com (ie ken) users seem pretty happy with his service, so the risk appears minimal. Is this who your ordering from? He appears to have some other goodies, anyone up for the BEGi throttle body arm?

It's not a defect unless it makes teh car excessively noisey or poorer performing emissions wise.
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.

Yeah Ken and Aric are brothers, it's the same store. We might have to do a different shipment for the throttle body arm if you want it, since the intake packages are being split into lots of 2 as it is.
Cool so I guess we can all go ahead now, PT did you ask about your credit card? If everything looks good can you PM us with your bank account details?
Cheers

I say we worry about the throttle body arm as a separate issue, then it won't delay the intake shipment. As long as PT is happy we all just transfer AU$310 to his account and he places the order. Sound good?
I'm all for another group buy but how about we just keep this one to the intake.

Ok, thats fine.
Do we have a choice in colours as far as the AEM is concerned? If yes i would like the polished/stainless.
When ready PM me with the account details so I can the transfer funds and I'll also reply with a postal address.

Ok, just called my credit card company and they will sting me 2.5% of the transaction fee for doing the currency conversion.
Which will be $31.00 split 4 ways... I think.

Update... sab has a credit card which does a straight currency conversion between US to AU without charging a fee. I believe this will be the easiest way.
Once Sab (Tim) gives us his bank account details, I'll transfer the funds $310AUD to his account.
Tim, any clue on how long we will be waiting for this? Also, up for a dodgy day at my place to install them?

Sorry Tim, when I was asking how long we'd be waiting, I meant for the actual intakes, not for you to send us the information.

I'll ask Aric, as it depends on what kind of shipping he is using.
I will need a destination address for the Sydney package, as well as your address PT.
Cheers

Just got an email from Quantum racing.
They are quoteing $395.00 inc Each, for one.
Weren't interested in quoting on a group buy.
Tim, is Aric doing us a group buy price?
Where is Alf? Why isn't he in on this?
Also Tim, C+C requires an invoice for his FYI.
