Out of curiousity, anyone order direct from JBR?
I have. I've ordered the heavy shift knob and the ssp from him directly. He gave me like 5% off or something like that. I pm'd him through MSF.Quote:

I got my JBR heavy shift knob by US Postal (in a heavy cardboard envelope). No duties, was in my mailbox.
Thanks fywdyl and ellusive.
Group buy for JBR stuff?
Shipped with USPS, Jamie's very accommodating, so however you want it shipped, he will do it.Quote:

Believe someone contacted him on TM3 and they do not do GB.Quote:

Jaime is very good with working with the TM3 guys eventho he's not on here much. I'm sure if Ami contacts him, he'll work out something. I don't really see how shipping heavy items separately makes it cheaper unless you guys are going to go over some sort of parcel limit in one single order.Quote:

Sorry guys trying to read back and find something, guess I was wrong as I can't find anything in addition to what Ami posted. Carry on.
i've asked Jamie in the past about a GB or discount on multiple items ordered... his response is that his prices are the lowest he can go. However, he does have specials every now and then on new products.Quote:

JBR ships USPS primarily and I've never had to pay duties on shipments from him... PMM, RMM, shift knob, EGR plates, RSB collars. If bundled together in one big shipment, high chance that thing is going to be taxed by Customs (at least the fee for Canada Post is only $5 if that happens).
Someone was making fun of me for doing that - still have it on my '07. They attempted to pull it off and subsequently got an earful from me just in time. I love my baby, clear plastic film included!Quote:

Where did this post come from? I don't see ZZB's post in the recent pages of this thread...Quote:

he won't register on here as a paying sponsor/vendor just to run a GB...think about those economics for a second...that doesn't mean you guys can't gather names and what not, and give him a firm order with a polite, "can we get a better price, please?"Quote:

I just sent a msg to JBR...I'll keep everyone posted...
Something else I thought was interesting...
3350lbs/300whp = ~11.17lbs/whp
(3350-65lbs)/300whp = ~10.95lbs/whp...save 65lbs, lose 0.22lbs/whp...$3,000+.
3350lbs/330whp = 10.15lbs/whp...prolly about $1500, maybe less and including a tune.
Keep this between us turbo guys who talk double and triple digit whp gains...ok?...LOL...
I wonder if I can hit 7.5lbs/whp.
Your secret is safe with loki
Aim for 7.5whp/lbQuote:

I wish I can gain some weight and perhaps improve my front end traction...lol...
