Well seeing as you have talked to the supplier they are on the way, I wish I knew earlier because after reading about this matts, the heal pad wears out petty quickly.

So I have found a place that makes the metal heal pad but seeing as I don't have mine yet I do not know the size of the heal pad thats on there..

Anyone that already has a set of these know the size of it ?

You could just contact the matcraft people that produced these, i'm sure they could answer that question quickly and easily :)

True, thanks, I will call them 2 morrow, should have ordered from them direct lol

Where did you read that the heel-pad wears out quickly?

& any info on this other heelpad you mention? Supplier, etc...

I am looking at getting a set of these very soon (direct :thumbsup: )

& this may change my decision...

Am VERY glad now that I JUST "missed out" on this group buy...

I was reading on other group buys that some people had the heelpad wear out quickly, So i have been looking for a metal one and found this place (http://autovation.net/).

It will look good with the GTR pedals, thinking of getting the plain brushed aluminium one.

I bet your glad u just missed out :P

Its been a pain in the A$$ trying to get replies from the guy that org the group buy, def worth buying direct lol

yeah this is the first one i've had thats gone more than a little pair shaped.

Shame, dave was doing ok up to the point he dissapeared, supplier delays happen... disappearing isnt cool.

Anyone heard from him yet? Do we know when the order is meant to be shipped?

Well if the mats have been produced and shipped (and paid for) as per slades email i guess we cant even work around the guy now.

I think this has gone on too long, i've tried to email him myself, but i dont really expect an answer.

Do we have anyone who knows the guy or who can get in touch to shake something loose? it appears that all that needs to be done is for him to ship the stuff and be done with it.

I think with the ammount of cash wrapped up in this legal steps wouldnt be out of the question if it doesnt sort itself out, but god knows what the options are.

I'm a bit worried since I paid him almost 2 months ago and never got a confirmation of my order...

So right now I guess the best thing to do is wait for his next update ( god knows when that is).

Money is gone guys, face it.. Unless someone has his address and a pair of balls, this dude has gotten away with it...

Ban group buys i reckon like many other forums do, unless they are organised by sponsoring vendors.

my personal opinion is who buys group buys off of someone who isn't part of the community just because they have a low join date

group buys are great if they are

1) run properly

2) run by reputable members

GDZ-14R: According to the mat company the mats have been paid for & shipped so this guy doesn't really have your money anymore, just a bunch of mats. Think you will get them but he is just f@#ing around, not really caring anymore...

If he wanted to keep your money surely he wouldn't have actually ordered & paid for the mats...

& Madaz, as you probably noticed by the thread title, this is the 3rd time this guy has done GBs for these mats & there have never been problems like this. I know because I researched, planning to join this but held off when I didn't recieve replies from PMs.

& finally, both of you, I completely understand where you're coming from but please don't try & scare other members off GBs when there are plenty of people using them for the right reason...

After all, how can anyone become "reputable" if they never get a chance in the first place?

this may be a "3rd group buy" but not on the same forum so to me that holds not as much credibility

you gain reputation from being an active member helping others and selling small items that you have no hassles with

i too also sent PM's and emails but got no reply

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5606/floormat.jpg 1/02/2011 that was sent

you also gain reputation for holding drifts and big angle

think this is is second or third mat GB on this forum Mads... its one of the reasons i finally took the plunge too.

its true we need someone over there who knows him to pay him a visit and encourage him to wrap things up (and i mean that just as i said it not in any sus way).

The guy might have a shit sandwitch he's dealing with (and i'm a pretty forgiving person) but unfortunately the longer he leaves it the crankier people will get.

I dont have high hopes for this, but i'm trying to remain a little optimistic. As mentioned, the goods were made and shipped. The guy now has a truck load of mats for various cars.

I dare say its less hassle for him to send them on the the buyers than to resell them to new people and end up with a bad rep.

When I spoke to the guys who made the floor mats, they were not happy either cause it gives them a bad name as well and I don't think they will ever deal with him again..

I guess the guys who made the mats and posted them, Have his Phone number and address ?

I think the guy is located SA, is it worth going and paying him a visit ?

Do we know what the ETA for shipping is as well, the mats might be sent by road which will make it longer as well ?

Just some thoughts.. I wish I did not bother with this and just bought the NISMO mats for $$$ would have been worth it now...

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
