If anyone is interested in joining in on the group buy for the CanZoomer Stage 1 ECU piggyback upgrade, please send an email to the Rocky Mountain Club's mailbox, with CZ1 in the subject line. We are compiling a list, and when we get the required number of people confirmed on this, we will let you know when we are ready!

Thus far, we have about 5 people signed up, of the 10 minimum we need.

No one else is interested???

I'm on the list, I think....only 5 folks! Poo! I was going to take a road trip to SoCA next month and wanted to have the chip in by then.

What kind of group price are we talking here?

I think the usual price on the Stage 1 is $600, but if we can get it down to 10 folks in a group purchase it drops to $500 each. Worth the wait.

drphill is right! $500. I think we're up to six, now. IGO, if you want in, please send an email to the club mailbox, and we'll add you!:D

Doc, how many people do we have now?

Epitrochoid is doing a GB on it right now too - why doesn't everyone jump on this to get the best price? I didn't think the $500 GB price was valid anymore . . . he's getting it for $520 or so shipped with 25+ people.

We have 5 people currently signed up of the 10 we need to get the GB rate. And $500 is the price CanZoomer agreed to for us. I think it might be the same for Epitrochoid's GB, but he decided to add another $20 per unit for his trouble.

you guys have me in correct?

Yup, we do. So now the count is 6 people in, 4 more needed.

did you advert in the CZ forum?

the $20 is mostly to cover shipping and wire transfer fees. Trust me, it doesn't feed my kids :D

why don't we just throw our lot in with theirs?

If your 5 come on board with me, I'll have all 25 (actually I'll have 27, but that's fine) and can collect payment this week.

I'm not at all trying to take you over, just offering a suggestion.

I wouldn't mind the extra 20... but I'm not going to jump ship with out the rest of the crew :D

I'm seriously thinking of joining the GB, but I still have questions. I'm trying to get my dealer service dept. to update my PCM currently running whatever it came with, trying to get "L" version. Have they worked out all the bugs on this?

What would shipping cost if we don't join in on the other GB and just get our own 10 people?

Then it's my own trouble of deciding if I want to do this and a muffler (haven't even started choosing that) or get new rims

This and a muffler! :D Your rims look great!

Well I've got a small case of "curb checkitus"..... that and I was thinking of getting the "dark" chrome versions from mazda.

Yeah i got the same disease on my rims. Have any links to the dark chrome?

one pic at the top of the thread and I added a few towards the bottom

I'm not at all trying to take you over, just offering a suggestion. Well, that's a thought. I'll send out a note to the members who have signed up for this tomorrow and see how everyone feels, although I'd be surprised if there is any objection. If there isn't, I'll provide you with the email of everyone who's on the list, and you can work with them directly.

All that I would ask is that you be sure to let CanZoomer know that a good part of your GB is Rocky Mountain RX-8 Club members, as we want to get our name out there. Also, I think he's expecting to see us do our own GB.

Thanks for offering, epitrochoid! (What the hell does that mean, BTW? ;))

Folks, if you're already on the list for a club CZ Stage "X" group buy, please chime in here if you see this and are ok with us throwing in with epitrochoid. It'll shorten the list I have to send out! :D

chime chime

you would have to pay about $20 more if you bought direct as well. shipping isn't included in the $600 and I've heard of people getting hit with international charge bank fees.

Ok, for the sake of efficency....I'm game.

an epitrochoid is the shape drawn out by the apecies of a triangle rotating about an off center axis.

sound familiar? :D

If your buyers are game let me know. I'll be sure to spout your club name off as much as you'd like :D

LOL, I was thinking of some kind of a sea creature. Trig never occured to me. :D

I'll email out tomorrow, and let you know. Thanks!

AAHHHH..... Ok I'm ready, I'm in... anything special I need to do?

Any update? I'm itching to get this :D

I just send out an email to everyone I had signed up for the club's GB today. If you didn't get it, let me know.

UPDATE:

The final "official" group buy note just got emailed out to everyone who signed up for this. I also sent it to everyone else on the club's roster via BLIND CC to protect your privacy in case you want no part of it, but to give you all one final opportunity to sign up.

epitrochoid will be in touch with those of you who have signed up within the next fews days to arrange for payment and shipping of your CZ unit. :D

i am looking to get into a group buy. Would i be able to get the unit shipped to pittsburgh?

Nope, sorry. The particular GB this thread was about has closed. Sorry about that!
