Got an email from Warren, the guy who's company helped me organise the great group buy first time around, and he wants to know if we are interested in a second group buy?

The price on the website has increased, however, due to the success and smooth process by which the previous group buy was completed he has said he will honour the price we originally agreed upon.

The price will be £22 per set plus postage costs. They can deliver direct to your address for £5.95, or like we did last time, they can be all paid for, sent to my house for a flat fee then addition costs covered when i send them out. iirc it was circa £3-4 maybe cheaper, i will confirm this later i just need to have some indication whether we will have enough people, we need 10.

now now gentlemen stay on topic 8) haha

ok well at the moment the leads are available in Red and Blue and Black, however, the Black ones are only 7.5 ferroflex cored as opposed to the 8mm of the red and blue. This company makes leads for Luminition, Ford racing etc.. so these are top notch, ask him about magnecor and his face gurns! lol..... they have a bad reputation within the industry i hate to say.

I will email him and ask about colours but i dont think they can get yellow but you never know!

Gains? well its hard to say, mine starts a lot easier on cold mornings and as peace of mind its refreshed the ignition system for better than original parts for less money than original parts!

drsmith1979
26-06-2007, 12:01
like i said, Magnecor's have a bad reputation in the industry and so i would personally go for these, which is what i did! lol

4 people, possibly 5, ask around and spread the word as we need 10 people minimum

Do these fit under the spark plug cover without making it bulge or distort?

drsmith1979
26-06-2007, 18:30
i dont have a cover on mine so i cant comment, i think someone else on the previous group buy put pics up and said they fit comfortably so no issues there.

27-06-2007, 11:52
If someone can post a pic to prove it. If they can i'm in. Don't want to buy them they have my cover bulging and ruin the look of my v-tidy bay.

Coops are you getting on the list?

As for payment, what normally happens is that you ring up and tell them you are part of the group buy, i will have already sent them your user name as id and then they check them all off the list, once everyone has paid they come through to me and i get them posted out. the cost is £22 for the leads then a further £3.50-4 delivery which includes me packaging them, jiffy bags and postage from the shop - my house then on to you. and no i dont make any money on them!

these are quality leads at a fraction of what other companies charge, similar luminition leads sell for £100 and this company makes them! along with a host of other companies brands that claim to be their own....

ok thats the 10 needed, i have spoken with Warren and the only bad news is that the 'lead' time is going to be 3 weeks due to so many shows coming up and so many successful group buys. price is obviously still the same.

Everyone please confirm whether they are prepared to wait the 3 weeks to get the leads and then i will speak with Warren. All leads will have to be paid for before they are sent out, i paid for 4 sets last time due to problems with payment, and got shafted on a couple of them so im not prepared to do that again. So if people cant afford them, please dont register for the list as it makes life very difficult.

Confirmation....

Andy, i dont think they do white no.

GT-facer - you are more than welcome to join in, if you want to confirm that you are definately going to participate simply cut and paste the list and add you name to it along with colour.

to clarify, its £22 for the leads, £1 to get them posted as a job lot to me then a further £3 (paid to me) to get them sent to your house. You can have them sent direct if you like, but the charge is £5.95 and last time, my way was alot quicker. so a grand total of £26 for a brand new set of uprated 8mm silicone HT leads.. very cheap. i will confirm postage costs.

i will speak to warren today, what you have to do is ring up and say you are part fo the williams clio group buy and he will take payment over the phone. £23 for the leads and delivery to my house, then you need to paypal or cheque me £3 for postage from my house to your address. i will confirm after i have spoken with him. everything needs to be paid for before any leads will be made so that needs to be everyone paid up.

simonr85
16-07-2007, 15:36
can i not send full payment direct to you?

i was a part of last group buy but whenever i rang him to pay he would say somethin like oh im busy il call you back (and never did) so i rang him again and he said he was driving and wouldnt be able to take the payment cos he was in his car and could i call back another day.

He seemed a bit of a 1 man band tbh

drsmith1979
16-07-2007, 16:37
Hi Simon,

im not taking responsibility of any payment im affraid as i got a little shafted last time having to buy 4 sets and then it was me chasing people etc...

ring him during office hours and do it that way, its a relatively small operation so patience is sometimes needed.

simonr85
17-07-2007, 12:20
il have to pass then on this group buy as i work 8 - 5pm and get half hour dinner (not even enough time to get home) and my boss is a tight arse so cant ring to order during work hours

drsmith1979
17-07-2007, 13:36
ok well thats down to 9 people on the group buy, we need one more as Simon has dropped out

simonr85
17-07-2007, 13:45
Unless somebody who is in the group buy is willing to pay for the leads on my behalf, and i can send them the payment of £26 through paypal today?

good news and bad news im affraid :lol:

Bad news is that im going to the USA on the 14th August for 3 months so wont be able to be the person who sorts the deal out :(

The good news is that the deal is still on and it will only take one of the buyers to take my place. All you will have to do is sort out with Warren (i will help) and then have the leads shipped to your address in bulk. then you will have to get the addresses of the buyers and send them on, its a lot cheaper this way and what i did last time. The buyers can pay you via paypal for the additional postage. Its pretty simple and everyone will benefit.

pm me if you are able to take over the role.

09-08-2007, 22:59
I will say, i got these in the first group buy, i have done about 4k on them and they are good quality. I haven't had any problems with them, in answer to Bighp, they are slightly to big for the plastic cover and it pops up about 2mm at the end, and is a very tight fit when you put the thing back on, how ever it does help stop the screws turning around and the cover falling off onto the manifold!

i would say if you want a good fit go for the black ones which are a smaller core, the blue ones fit fine though just the end does pop up a little.

stevie_b
05-09-2007, 14:08
Right, I have the contact details for Warren now. It's been a while since everyone put their names down so before I waste his time in case we can't reach the ten people can everyone please add their name and colour of leads below again. As soon as we hit the ten I'll contact warren and get the contact details whereby I believe we all call him and pay our money separately, he'll send all the leads to me in one parcel and I will then collect postage costs (<£3 I believe) and send the leads on to you as monies received. Hopefully we are talking days to confirm we are all still in, rather than weeks, so forgive me if I PM you if I don't see your name reappearing below.

not ordred yet mate, add your names to the list 8)

stevie_b
10-09-2007, 10:05
No probs. It would be good to have you on board as I think a few of our original ten have dropped out. talkingfish was the only one to come back to me so far, and we only need one other person now to make the ten. We need to make this happen this week really, as I am off on hols soon!

stevie_b - blue
alex_e3 - blue
andyfielder - blue
simonr85 - blue
bluenose - blue
gt-facer - yellow
lewis_willy2 - blue
L3WLM - blue
valver_Karl - yellow

We're only one order short now! I PMed the person you said wanted that yellow set under your name before but no answer from them yet. Any joy reaching them yourself?

10-09-2007, 20:46
ok thats kl cheers, just tell me wen u want payment, how u want the payment and il send the money, also how long u recon it will take?

stevie_b
10-09-2007, 22:45
You are already on the list mate - I added you last time you expressed interest! So still one more order needed. Once there are ten of us then we all call Warren and place our orders with him and pay with cards over the phone. Assuming all ten call him he will then send all the leads to me in one batch. I'll then package each one up, collect money for post and packing (should be ~£3) and send them on to each person.

Having said that, since we have 9 of us ready to go I will get in touch with him and see if he can do a deal with only 9 :lol:

11-09-2007, 05:18
Just to make clear...... (I ran the first group buy and organised this one, but due to time constraints i was sent off to the USA with work so Stevie_b has kindly stepped into the breach)

... The reason why they all get sent to one person is that the company can get them expedited in one box quickly as a flat rate under a certain weight. they charge 5.95GBP per set of leads to post direct from the company. So this way, the additional 3.00GBP for packing saves money for each individual and makes it faster and easier for the company to despatch the goods.

It worked extremely well on the first group buy and i have no doubt it will work well on this one. Everyone just needs to pay! lol

I'm sure Warren will do it for the 9 people posted and make an extra set of blue which can be sold on at a later date, just email him or ring him to confirm. He's really good with communication so will get back to you asap.

I will speak with Gunner and see what he says....

Are these specifically for a clio as my mate would like some for his civic?

drsmith1979
11-09-2007, 09:00
i would presume specific for the clio as the leads will all be cut on mass as well as booted up with the correct connectors etc.. hence why buying in bulk is cheaper, but pm stevie_b and get him to ask Warren... 8)

valver_Karl
11-09-2007, 20:07
would it be worth addin an extra £2.20 to the price, that way it will make up our 10 ht leads, ???

stevie_b
11-09-2007, 22:03
would it be worth addin an extra £2.20 to the price, that way it will make up our 10 ht leads, ???

Now there's a great idea! And just to progress it a little further, I believe it takes a few weeks to make the leads, so, if everyone is happy with that extra price (actually it will be more like £2.50 since it will be £22 divided by the 9 of us that are in) then that's what we'll all pay Warren over the phone. If I can then sell the tenth pair between when we all order and when the leads actually come to me then that tenth person can pay me that money directly, and then I should hopefully be able to do the postage out to everyone for free, out of that extra money?

I'll call Warren tomorrow and tell him there are ten and advise what we need to do next.

Fine by me.

12-09-2007, 11:34
OK. The group buy is now set up. I have passed on your details to Warren. Please call Sheila on 01208 264546 and pay for your order. Please let them know your forum user name so they can tick you off on the list and keep me posted of who I need to chase. I'd also appreciate if you could PM me or post on here once your order is placed as I am going on holiday in a few days and want to get all the ordering sorted before I leave to prevent any problems arising whilst I am away.

The price to be paid is £26. This will also cover the postage cost of getting each set of leads from me to you - there will be nothing more to pay (although it does rely on me being able to sell the spare set of leads in order to recoup the postage costs I'll be forking out for!)

There is one small problem that will affect valver_Karl and GT-Facer. Warren has got no yellow cable left and it can only be ordered in 5000 metre lengths, so he is not planning on ordering any more at the moment! He has black (7mm core), blue and red in stock, if you would care to choose one of those, otherwise he will still honour the group buy if you decide to drop out due to the lack of your yellow preference. Apologies, and please let me know what you decide.

12-09-2007, 11:51
Sorry i will be out if he doesn't have yellow as i already have a set of red magnacore leads.

No worries. Thanks for letting me know.

is this still going ahead cause that only makes 8 people instead on 10?

AndyFielder
12-09-2007, 13:57
YES... can you not read above!

L3WLM
12-09-2007, 14:01
Yes i know, but GT-Facer aint wanting a set, so that would bring the group buy down to 8, but the group buy is for 10 sets ?

13-09-2007, 18:40
alright m8, i paid today, but they said there gonna send it directly to my house, i also asked how many other ppl have paid and they said 9, apperently u or another bought 2 pairs, so i think we all have paid now, but u can still cheack,

Hmm. 9 was the total but I've not paid for mine yet and not heard a peep from anyone apart from yourself and L3WLM, so my bet is that you two are the only two paid at the mo? I did ask them to update me with a list of who has paid at the end of today, but no news yet (only L3WLM had paid as of this morning). L3WLM also requested the leads were sent straight to his house. I figured that once a few people do this it is going to actually cost more to send them to me (£8.95 for the lot, so could be 3 quid each if only 3 of us do it that way) plus say £4 for me to send them out to each person. I think therefore it is simplest, and might be cheapest, for each of us to just order them to our own houses. That works out as £22 plus £5.95 each for posting. If we all pay direct it means there is no need for me to take an extra set of leads to try and sell in the meantime so the order is down to 8.

I'm going to pay for my set tomorrow. I'm off on holiday after that for two weeks but would still appreciate if people let me know once they have paid him so that if I can find an internet connection somewhere I can check up on progress and assist in any way. Thanks

er... is my name down for a set of blue? was gonna call up 2mro morning as its payday?

alex_e3
13-09-2007, 21:01
Will call up tomorrow sometime after 1pm, as i'm in work till 11.45am.

What time will he be there 'till?

Many thanks to drsmith & stevie for sorting this out - much appreciated!

alex_e3
13-09-2007, 21:02
Oh one more question - does he accept credit cards do you know? As am a bit short 'till end of the month!

drsmith1979
13-09-2007, 22:10
they take all sorts of cards over the phone so i dont see credit cards being an issue. just ring up and pay for those bad boys.

just to note, all the people who had the leads sent direct to their houses received their leads AFTER the ones which were sent to me and then sent out first class royal mail the same day. so not only do you save money, it can be quicker too.

but its everyones call. 29 for top of the range uprated 8mm ht leads is still far cheaper than standard items so its still very very cheap!

There's room for you but they don't have yellow at the mo. You can have black, red or blue though. Let me know if you do want to order one so I can keep track of the numbers and give Warren a new list with your name on it so you get the group buy price.

fasterthanjesus
14-09-2007, 14:02
i can wait for yellow.

send a pm when they have yellow.

cheers

stevie_b
14-09-2007, 16:36
Sorry mate, but I think it could be a long wait - he will only be ordering yellow cable when he has enough orders to use the minimum 5000 metre reel of it!!!!

I've just ordered and paid for mine and checked up on latest order status. Apparently the lead time is down to only about a week, which is handy for those of you in a hurry to get them.

Still remaining to place the order are lewis_willy2, bluenose and andyfielder, I believe. Just a reminder: It's just £22 + £5.95 postage straight to your address in about a week's time.

14-09-2007, 17:11

red?

simonr85
14-09-2007, 17:28
give em a ring mate, there is 1 set left so just ring above number and tell sheila that your after the last set. They should have red too!

valver_Karl
14-09-2007, 20:13
na u carn't ave red, then i wont be the only 1 to get a red set, lol

stevie_b
14-09-2007, 20:18
Don't mention 'last set' please. It could confuse them. As far as I am aware (4:45pm this afternoon and they were heading out of the door) there are still a few more orders to be called in. The original plan was for 10 for the group buy so there should be no problem if you tell Sheila that you want red and your name was not on the list yet but Steve (me) is aware. I'm sure they are not fussed even if we go over the minimum ten that was required, as long as they get all the orders before they start churning them out so they can do them in one go for efficiency!

Have you fitted your 4pots yet mate? if so what are they like?

fasterthanjesus

4 pots are nice. feel better on the foot than standard, but not really had chance to really run them in properly due to dogbone mount fecked. (awaiting group buy).

drsmith1979
18-09-2007, 02:34
they do them in black yes, but they are in 7mm not the 8mm, they have a different core to the 8mm but are still an uprated performance lead. not sure if you have missed it or not Lunner, pm Stevie_b

Impressed with the quality of the leads must say. Nicely packaged, & all for a bargain price!

yes you can buy them seperately, even without the discount they are cheaper than OE leads. go to...

http://www.performanceleads.co.uk/ShowDetails.asp?id=181

more expensive than our group buy, but they are still cheap as they make a lot of more expensive branded leads with just a simple logo change. Hardware is just the same.
