why couldnt you just put that in your first post? it would have made you come off as a professional, instead of the asshole you made yourself look like.

"hi, I'm gabe from buddy club USA,....blah blah..."

much better than "bitchbitch your wrong bitchbitch, JDM OWNED! everyone laugh"

just my opinion i guess, especially if you are representing a company that most of us respect.

ursmokd · 03-27-2008, 04:18 PM

cuz i dont work there anymore, and i could care less. just hate it when people think they know everything

in any case. now that you know the real deal, just make sure you get 100% true details before someone like me comes along to be an asshole

i repsresent a different company now, and this is my personal name. if i chose to be on that name, it would have been professional, but this is indeed my personal screen name

k. take care. i dont come on here much after i sold all the S chassis. hopefully soon ill be joinin ya guys again

We've ordered a few sets for Evo owners, but for the price I don't think I ever justified ordering a set to stock for 240

Although yes, the wheel has good fitment

But imagine having to move 20 pieces per size, at a high price tag, don't think you'll get too many 240 guys jumping on it

Also, since there is no front good offset/width 18 size, then you can't hit the Z or G35 market either

As far as the BUDDY CLUB RACING P2 goes, that would sell I think, but its all gonna depend on pricing

For the clusters, unless it has additional functions like oil pressure, water temp, boost, etc, I don't forsee it selling to well to S chassis owners, especially for $400-500

For $400-500, you could easily find a working stock cluster and spend the rest on name brand gauges

Again, everything is going to come down to price

You can get good feedback now when its just feedback, but when you ask to see some wallets, that feedback might change

Not hating just keeping it real, so don't get too trigger happy based on initial feedback

In simple layman's terms: ZILVIANS ARE CHEAP/BROKE ASS BASTARDS!!!

Fuck the gauge cluster crap, the only thing I see them having a chance of selling in the states are the rims. And that will all depend on how much they go for.

I just dont see gauge clusters that replaces the stockies, high up in people's parts list/priorities. Hell a good 75% of people in here cant afford decent electronic gauges...

Cams, doubt it, BC would pretty much put anything out of the that market for their pricing...

Nikeboy355 · 03-27-2008, 05:05 PM

I agree with Logan like most of the time...

The forged wheels are too expensive and don't have close to the resale that the Volk wheels have...

For that gauge cluster to be a success it really needs to have a couple of these:
1. Shift light
2. Lap timer
3. Oil & water temp/pressure with warnings
4. Datalogging
5. G meter

Basically the stuff that the other clusters have as well as what many new cars are offering stock...

Buddy Club's DC5 race car is actually built by Mugen and they spend a lot of time on the track... They have to know what we want...

im in for the cluster!!

Dont get my hopes up> I want that cluster so bad. I would prepay

adictd2b00st · 03-27-2008, 05:21 PM

yea i don't know why some people are making it sound like the clusters couldn't sell......i think there is definitly some potential there.

McRussellPants · 03-27-2008, 05:23 PM

Center the tach offset the speedo.

serious.

Again, im basing it from what I've noticed on most people's cars. If you got an SR and you cant/wont even put the basic gauges/stuff you NEED to monitor an SR, why would you buy a stock gauge cluster? Would you really buy it just cuz it looks pretty and has some digital read out??? If thats what you're looking for, you're better off getting some STACKS.

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 03-27-2008, 05:28 PM

the p1 qf's are sooooo nice, but i do know the price tag is a little high.

as for the cluster, what do you really see people buying for there cars? showy/flashy clusters are way down the list after coils/lsd/suspension arms/ motor swap/ other more important gauges like boost,oil press ect.

although people here will say it's nice and they would get it, pm them and ask them for a security deposit and see what happens!

well...the buddy club cluster would be for people who

A) dont have a grand for a stack setup (or 2 grand for a defi cluster)
B) dont have the wiring or technical knowledge for a stack or defi cluster
c) want something that looks a little nicer than stock (especially in a cluster that was "high tech" in 1988)

i personally would buy one just to have something that looks ALOT nicer than what the current S chassis cluster looks like

the cluster would be meant for all S chassis motors...so no real need for a boost gauge or oil gauge etc...it would be a much needed, overhauled OEM replacement

some people like to have "fun" with building their cars too yah know

so your assuming that people don't have gauges already and just want to update the look from the stock cluster? and yes stacks are nice, but if this is a direct drop in thats a good selling point for alot of people, not to mention it would have stock fitment.

*edit* dorkdori hit the nail on the head

drftwerks · 03-27-2008, 05:41 PM

luster looks like shit, looks like indiglow guages, fuck that.

Sileighty_85 · 03-27-2008, 05:41 PM

that may be true but you have a hoooot car with all the other things i mentioned done to it. which would you buy first you hotwheels or this cluster?

also if these wheels were available to you, the P1's, would you spend the $$$$ for those when you have hotwheels. now i;m not saying your wheels are no good, but you should be able to buy 8 hotwheels for the price of 4 BC wheels!

***dorkidori_s13*** · 03-27-2008, 05:55 PM

i just talked to buddy club (i just ordered an exhaust from them...and some new lug nuts)...and privy to what the ex employee said...the P2s are still available IF a certain amount is ordered (the non-forged wheels)

i MIGHT try to set up a group buy for 17x9 +15s in sets of 4....they will be discounted to help get the orders in...a set would be roughly around 1500-1600 bux

yokotas13 · 03-27-2008, 05:58 PM

If the cluster had oiltemp/press/and water temp digital readouts id buy one

like it sits now? No

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 03-27-2008, 06:01 PM

$1600 for p1's?

yokotas13 · 03-27-2008, 06:03 PM

lol they are like 500 bucks used

and i still cant figure out why peopel like them

ursmokd · 03-27-2008, 06:03 PM

haha you guys reppin me, and neg reppin me are funny. i dig it

***dorkidori_s13*** · 03-27-2008, 06:12 PM

well i bought the hotwheels at the time just because i didnt have the cash for better 5 luggers...hotwheels will be sold when i get the cash for a better set of wheels

93SECoupe · 03-27-2008, 06:16 PM

I would buy the cluster. I need a new cluster to replaced my broken digital cluster. Right now I am guessing my speed by the rpm tach and using my AVCR which only reads out speed in kilometers. I have boost, water, and oil gauges so that to me is not that important.

SinisterSntra91 · 03-27-2008, 06:19 PM

Can the clusters be made for the s chassis and universal for any motor? It would solve alot of tach/speedo issues with swaps......

yokotas13 · 03-27-2008, 06:20 PM

yeah
its called a stack`
