[group Buy] Acpt Carbon Fibre Tailshafts Any Model! $1400us

[Piggaz]

Any idea on how loud that exhuast would be?

[Mr. Keets]

There is a sample on the GTR UK site...in short loud

I'd be interested in a 4inch Ti exhaust. From memory the Big Trust Ti is a track exhaust so it has no facility for a cat. You'd have to cut it down and put a flange on. Dont Sunline make a 4inch Ti with cat?

Going to TAS in January but a cat back inst really carry on...even in business lol

[star32]

I am in for a 4'' Ti exhaust of any brand but I reckon Amuse could do the R1000 in 100mm inlet for us if we get the numbers.

[OS30GK]

Amuse would make me very amused...

[Mr. Keets]

and a fair bitter poorer

[Merli]

I have an Amuse R1 (R1000 is the R1 + front pipes) and it is pretty bloody loud.

I certainly would NOT put it on a daily driver

[OS30GK]

Any news on the shafts being sent off?

[Angus Smart]

Hello everyone,

Was ment to be happening this week. i did get an email from Sts, about needing more money since the Aud/Usd has fallen out since the order was placed..

this however i think should only be paid on the Last deposit i made, $10480 there was around a 7-10c drop which i think makes up 700 or so dollars.. Sts said he was to do some calculations.

if we should be even paying this at all. since they (Sts) stepped in and changed it to Aud. and i was quoted 1400Aud per shaft..

tho at the end of the day. we're still getting a huge discount on what we have bought, so whatever way this swings, i dont mind.

The shafts were ment to be ready now and shipping this week.. tho i have not herd anything as of yet, it is a bit slow back and forth with Me to Sts to the Us.

If anyone can find out, how were we looking around mid june for the usd/aud conversion??

Will keep everyone posted in what becomes of this..

Andrew

Just found a Graph, we were looking at a max 96c-94c in the dollar..

You answered your own question. You were quoted $1400AUD so that's the price. It is not your problem the dollar moved. It is the supplier's responsibility to allow for currency movements, anticipate movement given the length of time needed to make the shafts, and if necessary absorb losses in their margins. I'm sure if the dollar went up we wouldn't be getting a further discounted price.

[OS30GK]

willo is right, they made an agreement of $1400AUD per shaft and that was the major incentive in creating this group buy. Can't change the price after receival of initial funds then try to whore money due to change in exchange rate. Could of gone either way for them, they could of lost money if our dollar got stronger than june'july figures and i would guarantee that they would not reimburse our funds if that happened. You stick to your guns! $1400AUD was the agreement and thats what it should be kept at. The agreement time was made at that time (June) at the agreed value of $1400AUD no echange rate calculations were incorporated therefor the inception of the contract stands at that value, especially if you paid a deposit of acceptance of the offer in the agreement which is obviously apparent, as you sent the deposits in that month.

Also, if another company has come in to play with trying to control figures and demand extra funds, it is the responsibility of the initial agreeing party with the initial offer of $1400AUD to pay the difference, not the consumer...

[Angus Smart]

Yeah this is what i figure, fair enough if we were dealing direct with acpt i probably would have done the same thing myself. tho i am sure i would have sent the final deposit alot quicker than the time stuffing about with the Aussie distributor.

i will see what i can do.. i dont really want to have to pay more since it isnt really my problem since they stepped in.

Hi Andrew.

That is correct $1,400.00 in Australian dollars delivered, not US Dollars. I can arrange for these to be delivered individually to each buyer.

We need 5 to get that price, but 7 is even better. If we had 10, I could ask for a bit more to be shaved off.

thats a cutting from the original email.

[Merli]

That's absolute bullsh1t.

Either they :

1. honour the quoted price and deliver the goods, or

2. you can escalate to the ACCC (if you can be bothered), or

3. they can refund my money and be stuck with multiple carbon shafts

Either way, I'm either going to get my shaft for the quoted price, or my money back.

I don't play well when held to ransom like this

[arep3]

Im with Merli on this 1. We shouldn't be expected to fork out extra.

[Angus Smart]

I agree,

so i really have 13 people who were quoted 1400, and will only pay 1400. there was no mention about currency rates in any of the emails.

i've not had a reply from him yet so i am still waiting.

[Piggaz]

This is rediculous.

Ontop of over 3 months waiting for these things. Hurry up and make them, send them out!

[Mr. Keets]

I'm with you Andrew. If they had quoted in $US it would be a different deal. But the price was in $AU so stick to your guns mate

[Merli]

BTW...

Thanks HEAPS for organising this group buy Andrew.

I've been on your end of many, many situations like this when organising group purchases and it certainly is no fun when things don't go smoothly. I think we all understand that none of the delays or this latest................ speed bump is your fault.

Thanks again mate!

[Angus Smart]

Yeah tiz a bit shit really... wasnt the only thing i have been waiting to get charged for from the us, ordered my bolts etc for engine rebuild a month or so ago, and still waiting to be charged.. wish they did it a while ago... but oh well!

\

this i am sure we wont have to pay since we were never told about exchange rates.
