Interest for GP for BHJ Balancers?

[v6stanger]

Would anyone be interested in a GP for BHJ Balancers for 89-93 and 94-95 Supercoupes?

Lets see how much interest we can gather and I will e-mail a few places to see what kind of price we can get.

Drop me an e-mail or reply.

stingracer18@aol.com

Thanks,

Zach

[Jason Wild]

I might be if the price is right. Let Me Know

[Jimmy 2Coupes]

I also may be interested if the price is right. I'll keep checking back.

[peedro]

I am interisted if we get a good price.

[BT Motorsports]

Do your shopping then drop me an email, Im sure I can hang with any of the pricing you end up with.

[v6stanger]

OK guys I'm still waiting on pricing so hang in there.

Zach

[RBM91]

Count me in on this if you can get decent pricing. Thanks.

[BT Motorsports]

Gentlemen, I have seen more than once that "decent pricing" has been mentioned which is obviously what the buy is all about. With that said, I have to inquire what does everyone consider to be an acceptable price range?

Paul

[RBM91]

Is 10-20% possible. That would sure be OK with me. I'm not sure anyone knows what to expect.

[BT Motorsports]

Depending on the # of people involved in the purchase, Im sure that 10-20% is reasonable. I am reserving my GP rate offering till Zach finishes his shopping.

Paul

[Nick Sc]

10%-20% of the org price sounds really nice count me in.

Our current individual purchase price is $360 for the '89/93 and $385 for the
'94/95.
For groups of 5 the pricing would be $335 and $360.
For groups of 10 the pricing would be $325 and $350.
For groups of 15 the pricing would be $310 and $333.

Shipping is $7-12.00

We also carry a high quality new balancer bolt and washer for this application
too. These are $9 for the pair.

He has tons of these in stock ready to ship and will ship them out asap so there is no waiting period.

Super Coupe Performance, LLC


Let me know guys.

[BT Motorsports]

Zach, sorry to tell you, but that really isnt a deal. If you look over the discount prices listed, the groups of 5 pricing is nearly identical to the regular discount I give TBSCEC members. The problem is that though the discount may be significant off the regular retail, the retail pricing you received is significantly higher than mine. Here is my offer for the group buy:

Our current individual purchase price is $344.99 for the '89/93 and $369.99 for the '94/95.

For groups of 5-9 the pricing would be $320 and $345
For groups of 10 the pricing would be $310 and $335.
For groups of 15 the pricing would be $295 and $320.

Shipping will be actual cost of UPS based upon the individual client's shipping address....shipping to a business is less.

I am presently working on a grade 12.9 bolt of the proper length instead of the grade 10.9 mustang bolt which is shorter than the SC bolt and should have them available by the time the balancers are ready for shipment.

Paul

[joenintiesc]

That sounds awesome, Paul - almost irresistible! Thanks Zach, for getting the ball rolling on this kind of a group buy. What, if any, deadline would there be?

[BT Motorsports]

Well, first thing that needs to happen is for someone or everyone to agree on who they want the group buy to come from. Once that is established, assuming BTM is chosen, we can go from there. I would say 2-3 weeks is a suitable closing date for the buy. With that said, would everyone interested please chime in with your 2 cents.

Paul

[v6stanger]

Hey Paul those prices look extremely fair. Looks like you are the guy to go with.

Everyone chime in and lets get an estimate.



And please any of you guys who belong to other supercoupe boards let them know of this GROUP PURCHASE and PRICES so we can get the best possible rates.

Thanks,

zach

[RBM91]

Looks good to me. Hope we can get at least 15 folks involved.

[boosted89SC]

Count me in on an 89-93, Keep us posted

[peedro]

Count me in I was very satisfied with the last group buy Paul from BTM did with the roller rockers.

[Jimmy 2Coupes]

Count me in for 94/5 balancer.

[v6stanger]

Ok Looks like we have 6-7 people interested so far.

Everyone who replied so far drop me an e-mail and let me know if you are definetly in or not so we at least know that we can get the 5 person discount for sure. Even if you replied and want to back out let me know so there is no confusion.

Spread the word on other boards and let your other SC buddies know about this. The 10 or 15 people price would be great to get.

Thanks fellas,

Zach

[John Shelton]

I'm definite for an '89.

Thanks for working with us, Paul.

[35th SC]

Paul,
I guess I'm in for a '90 style also!

Mike

[BT Motorsports]

Ok, so dare I ASSUme I will be the retailer the group buy will be going through? If so (Zach, since you started this whole thing, I presume the final decision is up to you), as soon as I receive confirmation, I will begin an HTML page like I did for the Roller Rockers and we can get the ball rolling. I would like to close the group buy on the 17th or 24th of May, let me know your thoughts on this.

Paul

[v6stanger]

Paul yes you are the guy this will be going through.

I am prepared to send my money as soon as possible and I hope everyone else is the same way.

Throw in your .02 guys

[BLOWN38]

count me in for a 95

[v6stanger]

Paul, Let us know when you get the page up so we can get an official list.

Thanks,

Zach

[BT Motorsports]

Should have it up later today (mid to late afternoon), I just got in from work and it has been a long night:o

[BT Motorsports]

Ok, the group buy page is now up. The URL is.......

http://www.bluetonguemotorsports.com/BHJ/BHJGP.html

For EVERYONE who wants to be involved, I am requesting you Email (Paul@BlueTongueMotorsports.com) me your name and your user name on the BBS to make it easier for me to keep track of everyone. Please also specify what year balancer you will need (early 89-93 or late 94-95). Lastly, include your shipping address and notate if it is commercial or residential so I may get an accurate shipping quote for you.

Paul

[boosted89SC]

Paul In case you didnt notice, the html page for this group buy is titled "roller rocker group buy". No biggie just thought id bring it to your attention.

[BT Motorsports]

Chalk that up to my inferior HTML skills.......started using the rocker GP page for the layout of this one, Im fixing it now. I see a few emails are starting to come in about the buy. I will not be able to answer them until tomorrow as I am leaving for work now.

Paul

[Doug Franklin]

Need one for a 95 and one for the older. So is the hard longer bolt come with?

[SupachargedSC]

I am in for one early style. Just one question though, what is the difference between the 89-93 and the 94/5?

SuperchargedSC@hotmail.com
Tyler

[BT Motorsports]

The bolt is not included but will be available. The ealry vs late style units use different crank sensor mounting points from my recollection.

Paul

[BT Motorsports]

Ok, I have updated the page with the names of those who have currently contacted me with their information so I may quote a shipping cost to them. So far there are 6 people listed. I will start accepting payments on May 22nd and no later than May 31st. I will not be adding anyone to the list until I have been contacted by them directly. It is important that if you choose to drop out of the group buy, that you notify me immediately as this may affect what discount level others will receive.

Paul

[v6stanger]

Wow, Paul looks like you have a direct competitor posting also now with extremely good prices.

We might lose a few people without a price match fo some sort.

Just a thought so this can be successful as possible.

Zach

[BT Motorsports]

Well Zach, the best we are going to see here is for groups of 5+ the pricing will be $295 and $320, 15+ will receive free shipping. I will be updating the site page as soon as my server comes back up from updating. If Bill wants to go lower than that, then everyone looking to purchase makes out better. Just remember the pricing you receieved when you first asked Bill what he could do for the community. I think its great to see this kind of competition but a tragedy at the same time to see a business try to capitalize on the uniqueness of our car and parts available with high and outlandish pricing until someone steps forward and offers something reasonable.

Paul

[v6stanger]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully others will realize this too and not bail out on our original GP.

When can we start sending in money?

Thanks,

Zach

[BT Motorsports]

Given the updated pricing, money can be sent in immediately. If we receive more than 15 orders, I will include a refund or store credit (purchaser's choice) on the shipping.

Paul

[Bill Evanoff]

Let's not forget when BHJ first offered these there were several group buys directly from them. The pricing was approx. $396 for the early units and $417 for the '94/95 units.

Pricing on both items has come a long way!

Yes, competition is good for everyone, but as distributors of this item Paul and I both have to at least cover our expenses, plus hopefully a few extra penneys profit. I'll always match pricing with any supplier on an identical part but if prices go too low for any length of time then an out-of-business distributor does nothing for the SC enthusiast either.

[Valentino]

I'm in too. Just sent the $$$.

Val

[v6stanger]

Just looking for an update:

Who has actually sent thier money in? How many have not sent thier money in and/or arent on the list Paul has on his html page?

i see 6 people on the list including me.

thanks,

Zach

[BT Motorsports]

Zach, I have been very busy and havent had time to keep up with the page. I just got in from work so I wont be updating it till I wake up if I have time before work later today.

Paul

[turbospeed]

i want one for the older style do i need the bolt? what else do i need?

neohacker_@hotmail.com

[BT Motorsports]

A new bolt is recomended, though not neccesary unless yours is broken. If your current balancer is intact, you can reuse your bolt and washer.

Paul

[turbospeed]

btw im gonna need aluminium pulleys? does it include instructions ? because i ve heard you need to do some machining

[BT Motorsports]

Pulleys are available separately or you can have your crank pulley balanced. For installation details, read the following link:

Paul

[SupachargedSC]

[BT Motorsports]

Please refer to the group purchase link from a prior post and listed below for details:

Paul

[v6stanger]

Hey, Just wondering the current status of the GP and how many orders/money you have recieved Paul. I hope its more than what is listed on the html page lol.

Thanks,

Zach

[BT Motorsports]

I think we are at 6 or 7 and 2 money orders pending receipt of. I will update the page in the latter part of the week as I im the midst of adding a new computer into my network and trying to finish my car and moving in the next 2 weeks.

Paul

[turbospeed]

thanks

[turbospeed]

hey paul could you contact me? i got the money orders returned again ? did you changed adress or something? sorry for the problems

[v6stanger]

Paul is at carlisle this weekend so don't expect any quick responses as I'm sure he doesn't have computer access at hand.

[BT Motorsports]

Actually, Im back and I did bring a laptop to use with the broadband access I had at my hotel room for the limited time I was there:D I will contact turbospeed in the morning and get things straigtened out......going to bed now.

Paul

[Valentino]

Received a message today from work letting me know that the balancer had arrived. Too bad the first time I didn't call in to check messages is the day there's something good. Oh well guess I'll have to wait till Monday. I was wondering if the crank bolt your were having made is ready as well. Let me know the cost plus shipping and I'll send you some funds.

Thanks,

Val

[v6stanger]

Hey Paul,

Got my balancer the day i got back from vacation.

Thanks alot.

Let me know when you get those bolts made up because I know I will be purchasing.

Thanks,

Zach

todd

[White Lightning]

That's three of us! As far as I'm reading we need at least 5 of us for a break, contact your friends directly and bug 'em, I can feel that guy "Murphy" breathing down my neck.

[cheeriosluvr]

sorry guys count me out......

[White Lightning]

That's three of us, I have one more over on the New England site and possibly a 4th, I'm gonna beat up on my friends and see if we can at least get 5 of us together for a little discount. Frank H. aka White Lightning.

Contact me directly Paul via IM or email if there is no group buy, either way I would like to do business with you

[White Lightning]

I'll make a phone call to Blue Tongue tomorrow as I think I read where they do the best discount and get a reading on what they want to do for us. or maybe he will read this and respond, hold tight folks Frank H.

[BT Motorsports]

What is it you would like to know?

Paul

[White Lightning]

What is it you would like to know?

Hi Paul! I'm sorta new at this, but I need to know how we go about setting up a group purchase? I have seen a few done and I think I have maybe 5 folks interested at this time and hope to get more interest again! Can I assume we can get the same rate as the last group? Thanks Frank H.

[BT Motorsports]

Well, we set up an open and close date for the buy as well as a tentative ship date. Next, during the course of the open dates, everyone who is a part of the group purchase sends their payment in. After everyone's payment is received and the buy closes, depending on ship date, the orders are shipped to one or each person depending on the arrangements made. In this case, everyone would pay a shipping fee and the units will be shipped to them directly. Contact me off line to discuss pricing.
