Group Buy

[Seph]

Right im lookin to set up a group buy on some Catcam 708's.

Before I do this I would like some interest first, if all is confirmed I will be taking a deposit before the order also.

These cams will run on the engines standard map, but a remap or stanalone management would be recomended.

Prices will be available when I get some interest.

[DeekB]

Next month's too soon for me sadly as I still have an exhaust, induction kit and manifold to buy,

Could we not possibly see about getting a club discount from Qep, I think alot of people would buy stuff from them as they have such a good rep among user's on this site.

[Seph]

We have one, but dont do discounts on catcams unless we have a group buy.

Tome, next month is like 3 days u tool

[DeekB]

Ah right kool never knew that mate,

Looked in the discounts section the other day and never seen them.

[Quiksilver GTI]

I wouldnt be able to pay till june earliest as its my bro's stag do end of may and thats costing £250+
so i guess im out.

[Quik_Pug]

We have one, but dont do discounts on catcams unless we have a group buy.

Tome, next month is like 3 days u tool

You wana call the taxi or should i? ;)

[thomas6361]

[GTI_Lee]

I would have been interested but need to get a few extra bits first, next group buy we have count me in!

[marcus]

im interested,need a rough price though.

[jam2008]

Can we get further discount from GMC on sets of Piper PT51's?

[greenpug]

Can we get further discount from GMC on sets of Piper PT51's?


PT ratings are Kent cams, unless you are refering to their grind

[Quik_Pug]

Yep your thinking of Kent PT51s, similiar equivalent are piper 285s

[gaz0_0]

what sort of extra bhp and torque gains are there from these cams?

im up for it and have the cash waiting.

please add me to the list

[loudandproud205]

will they run along side my boost set up ok? if so then am interested.

yes my boost will be poverty spec lol

[Quik_Pug]

Noticed Kam are closed for business till 9th May :( so i guess cant get ball rolling till then anyway

[WARDY]

there on holiday are kam racing till 12th i think he said but im interested i need them in car by 20th like

[WARDY]

arghhhhhhhhhh hate waiting keep us informed im desperate lol

[Dabbz-GTI]

count me in for the 708's

[Quik_Pug]

Kam should be back in business today :)

[jam2008]

get me a price :)

[Quik_Pug]

Also been chatting to a few tuners about fitting these..been told a new standard lifters are recommended when fitting them :) - my car has done 40k so will i def need a new set?

[Seph]

Iv had mixed reports Tom, I wouldnt bother personally, unless ur having a rebuild, then u mayswell.

And will have prices as soon as they get back to me.

[106chris]

pretty interested in these mate, dont want to fully commit before i know the prices - im not a cloud chaser however dont worry!

[tommy_rallye]

tom i wouldnt bother with the lifters, i used my standard ones, engine was on 50k, aslong as you sqeeze them before instaling them again, and make sure you put them back in the right hole they came out of you'll be fine, mine rev to 7800 and i havent had any problems yet, (touches wood). i was going to get them but most people said mine will be fine plus if i got bigger spec'd cams in the future i'll get solid lifters then on a fresh rebuild.

[katiescar]

any chance you could get us a set of 808's, with the lifters and shims, within the group buy?

[gaz0_0]

hi there, just wondering how long this is likey to take? its just i have been offered a set of newman cams.

[jano106rallye]

soory that i can't be a part of that, else i would go for it..

[Lee C]

708s wont run right on a standard, idle will be lumpy and will try to stall.

They can be drove with not for long, i would'nt risk it get it mapped and get the best from them.

[Olee]

dependin on the price, id be interested in a set of these :]

[Seph]

Graham from Kam Racing is on the case, will have the prices this week.

[Quik_Pug]

Have you conatced QEP too mate? Maybe worth a shot as they supply them too :)

[Seph]

I have with no response im afraid.

[gaz0_0]

sorry im out, i have bought a second hand set

[Quik_Pug]

Sephala - Read your PM

[Kam Racing]

708s tend to get the car comfortably into the 140s..

Was trying to negociate a better price from Catcams but they won't as they don't like people discounting

Will get prices up tomorrow.. we'll give as much as we can but unfortunately it won't be a massive reduction. working them out now

[Seph]

/\ Legend!

Keep your eyes peeled people.

[loudandproud205]

am out mega change of plannage

[Quik_Pug]

Prices? :)

[Seph]

Thomas be patient, Graham is on with it :p

[katiescar]

seph let us know if they can do the 808's etc with solids many thanks

[goodsum]

was there ever a price given?

[scribbles]

Bit OT but what are the main differences between running 708s and 808s?

Could you run 808s on the road without too many problems what are the drawbacks

I only ask because not many people are running 808s.

[samco77on]

to run 808's you need to running standalone, individual throttle boddies and high comp pistons.

thats why not many people run them.

[shunteruk]

what sort of BHP figures would you be looking at with 808s, throttle bodies, and high comp pistons on a standalone.

I mainly ask because i'm curious about what sort of gains you get from High comp Pistons.

Thanks
Stev

[mikey_b]

have a chat with vtr170, pretty sure he has done all that and is about about 189bhp?

[106chris]

Yer i was wondering a little more about the 808s would be good to be a little different. Craig is running a massive spec as mikey b said (vtr170) im sure he will be happy to help out about that.

[shunteruk]

ah right, doesnt seem much of a gain up on bhp for all that money on high comp pistons lol, think i may stick to the idea of a supercharged route, i want to hit the 200bhp mark minimum with the ability to go further on as i wish
