[CaoBoY]

pictures of the spin knob? is it just a drift button? i didnt see pictures on the site.

[NZO]

Those TC rod braces are pretty cute.

[MadScientist]

The Group Buy listing is just that... a listing... the actuall pics can be found in the Yashio Factory section (Browse by Manufacturer)...
http://www.raretrick.com/index.asp?cat=1629&Action=cat&Page=1
But heres the button just in case.

[shift_knob]

Get that PayPal set up!!! I tried ordering from your site but it said that my cart is empty when i clicked order.

[MadScientist]

I can't set-up a PayPal at this time. Our old biz partner set it up and has the information and only he can change it... wonderfull!

If you order over the website the only payment option is by Credit Card.

There is a glitch in the system we cant find... has always been there, and we cant get it to replicate (damn ghost). If you get an Error code please send that to me so we can get it fixed.

Here are some details of what the products are.
e-Brake Spin Knob - alows the e-brake to move freely... to lock e-brake you push the button out... to release you push button in.
1.3ps Radiator Cap - alows the radiator to hold pressure so that the water is cooled more efficently.
Water Temp Adapter - alows the radiator hose to be split (Upper or Lower) so that a Temp senson can be placed.
Radiator Cooling Panel - directs air to move through the radiator rather than over it.
Water Pump Pully - Smaller and lighter than stock so you have less resistance so water moves faster to cool down the engine more efficently.
SUS Down Pipe - Full Stainless Steel 80mm Down Pipe form Turbo Elbow to the Cat.
Tension Rod Brace - can only be used with the Stock or Nismo Power Brace... This is a very new design that keeps the tension rods from moving inward durring hard cornering.
Ignition Harness - SR only! Replaces the stock Ingnition Harness with a lower Ohm resistance Harness so that the Coil Packs get full electrical spark.
Okachan Water Temp - alows user to check water temps and place sensors where needed. Unit has Peak Hold and Relay switch so that electric fans can be used.
Okachan Water Temp w/ 1 Sensor - same as above just includes a sensor
Okachan Water Temp w/ 4 Sensor - same as above just includes 4 sensors
Okachan Water Spray Kit (Complete) - everything you need to have a perfectly funtional water spary kit including a large water tank.
Super Light R Radiator - Larger and lighter than stock this 2 layer Radiator will hold up to sever track conditions and high HP levels, and is still highly effective on stock or mild tuned applications.

Thank you
Drew

If you notice all the parts are Small in size for a reason... I will do this as a Group Buy for about 2 weeks and see how many order accumulate... if the orders are good I will process at the 2 week mark... if not, the Group Buy will End on August 31st and all will be processed together. At the very latest the parts will arrive Late Sept.

Pricing is wrong on the website... US MSRP is $1127. Hopefully I can get a new Yashio Catalog in the EMS so I can update all the Aero Parts. I will send quote after Obon (17th) to see what I can offer this for.

If you are interested in Exhaust or Aero Parts that must be shipped Sea Freight the wait will be longer however I will be processing an Order for Sea Freight on the 19th so please order before then to secure your orders place on the boat.

[MadScientist]

[MadScientist]

Peace

Peace
Drew

[bboyt3nsk]

I see Yashio Factory shirts on the website...I need one...is it possible?
Can you also persuade me to buy the Cooling panel?

And what EXACTLY does a tension rod brace do?

[MadScientist]

T-Shirts are Size Free and $35... Free shipping when you buy something else (like a Cooling Panel).

Tension Rod Brace - can only be used with the Stock or Nismo Power Brace... This is a very new design that keeps the tension rods from moving inward durring hard cornering.

Peace
Drew

[bboyt3nsk]

Ill take a white med. yashio factory shirt!

[anthony240]

Hey Drew, I was just about to ask, so you're gonna hold it until the 31st cus there aren't enough orders?
And when I place an order, will it get processed (CC billed) immediately or on the 31st?

[MadScientist]

anthony240 - Looks like its going slowly to the 31st. No-one is being charged untill after I send and recieve quote from Japan (after Group Buy ends).

bboyt3nsk - T-shirts are added to the website... free shipping on the t-shirts only when purchased with another item!!

Peace
Drew

[240trainee]

I'm gonna do my best to scrape up money for the tension rod braces, I told myself no more car toys for a while, but those are damn hot!!

[bboyt3nsk]

The T-shirt with Pink radiator panel then! ( im not sure if their always pink or not)

[MadScientist]

So far the Group Buy looks like this:

1 - Okachan Water Temp. 1 channel
3 - Tension Rod Brace
1 - Drift Knob

:-/

Less than 1 week left... come on guys!

Peace
Drew

[MadScientist]

Well... Katrina has put a delay on the Japan order so... for those of you still interested you have more time.

Peace
Drew

[BSPerformance]

Sorry fogot to order, but will place order sometime today :keke:

[DavidC]

how do i order??

[DavidC]

tried to order from site...having issues with the shopping cart...

[gpeele]

do you know the status of this group buy? did you cancel it because of lack of interest or are you waiting for more orders?

thanks,
gordon

[MadScientist]

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina we have been left temporarilly
without some of the vital resources needed to perform normal business
operation. We expect to be up and running as normal very soon as our
facility was not damaged by the hurricane. We are awaiting power to be
restored, postal service, phones, and fedex services in order to resume
normal business. We expect to have power in the next couple of days.
The Postal Services have begun the reopening of their facilities, and is
only a matter time until they reopen our area post office.

So basically the Order is just being delayed untill we are able to function at full capacity... should be in about a week. The Server for the Website is in New Orleans and the Admin System is in Biloxi, MS... supprisingly enough both are still working but simple glitches will be common for a while. Common problem will be the product calculator... I know a Radiator Cap doesn't cost $1000 so just let it go and I will fix the prices.

Thank you guys for the continued support.

Peace
Drew

[MadScientist]

Group Buy has Officially Ended!!

I will be processing this to Japan as an EMS order on Monday.
We just got postal services back this week.

Thank you for your patience durring this very difficult time.

Peace
Drew

Peace
Drew

[DavidC]

[SPIRO]

I still havn't been charged for a tension brace, does that mean i'm not getting it?

[MadScientist]

Waiting on Yashio to return the quote so I can transfer the funds...

Peace
Drew

[MadScientist]

The last 2 months have been complete insanity. Little to no communication and very broken up response delays. We finnally have Japan back online, so I can get back to our normal ordering process.

I will be calling everyone in the Group Buy today, before I charge... very sorry for the huge delay!! I will be shipping this by EMS as mentioned before, so it should be here relatively fast.

2 months is deffinatly a long time to wait for such a simple small item, and Thank You All for being patient durring this time.

Peace
Drew

[Shawn_of_the_Dead]

I was unable to find pics of the radiator cooling panel and also the water pump pulley. Can you post em or at least send me a link to em? Thanks

[MadScientist]

[MadScientist]

WOoHOo!! Group Buy parts have arrived!!

Only one simple little problem... The Yashio Tension Brace Supports are SILVER... Not Pink!!! :wtf: On the Box they are Pink... there is no color option eather... I dont understand this?!?

I ordered extra parts but most have sold... I do have (1) Radiator Cap and (2) Drift Knobs available.

Other than the effects of the Hurricane this Group Buy went very well.... I will do this GB again soon.

awesome, when will you be shipping out the parts?
thanks.

[MadScientist]

Several parts shipped out today... check e-mail.

I noticed alot of people placed orders from the Yashio Manufacturer listing and not the Yashio Group Buy listing... if so then an additional $5 was charged before shipping. :hammer:

Peace
Drew

[justinhustle]

got my stuff earlier this week

kinda lame the tension braces werent pink

=/

[SPIRO]

i was hoping theyd be pink too! but ah well. Thanks for this great group buy!! Also for future ppl trying to buy these tc rod braces: They MUST be cut and rewelded in order to fit with a whiteline swaybar. I wish yashio designed these with bigger swaybars in mind, modification isnt too bad assuming that you have a mig and an angle grinder
