I just got off the phone. Here's the deal they offered:

Discounted from the original price of $135+shipping the GP price will be $114.95 plus shipping and handling which he said normally runs $12-16. We need a 6 person minimum to get this going.

IF you want a set, post up here.

To order you'll need to call 847-891-6609 and ask to talk to Mike at extension 113. The part number is Mac-4892 86-92 Fbody SFC's. They're powdercoated black, basically the same design as Alston, but these are weld in only, not bolt on. They will work with perimeter style such as Spohn's.

Tell them it's for the thirdgen group purchase. When they get 6 orders together, that's when they'll ship, and then run the same price for a few weeks afterwards for the GP (didn't ask how long).

I plan on getting a set towards the first of Feb, so I'll be number 1.

Edit: Here's a picture of where the Alston's and Mac's mount. The boxy tubes on the outside are perimeter style SFC's (the ones in the picture are the old Spohn's. They're now tubular.)

 

I'm in

 

I just had my set installed today. Great results for the price! Go for it guys!

 

Have you ordered yet?

 

I want these... I can get my order in probably middle of february... hope its still going on!!

 

Ummmm, I called the number and asked for Mike at ext.113 and basically the guy had no Idea what I was talking about, he asked if it was a computer part I was trying to order?Is the contact info correct?

 

I'll double check now.

 

Sorry I posted the wrong number It's correct now.

 

This is probably a really dumb question, but will these work on a convertible? I assume it does since it's in the convertible section, but since I've been looking at SFC, I'm constantly seeing convertibles requiring a different/unique part.

 

only the type that are like the spohns in the attatched picture above won't work with convertibles, because convertibles have a reinforcement in that area. Spohn does make a similar style to the ones posted, but they are clearanced for that reinforcement.

 

i dont know what you're trying to say here.....


but yea, the MACs clear.. so do alstons..


spohn makes ones that clear for the verts, and im told kenny brown does also.

 

the spohn SFCs get in the way of the ASC factory reinforcement on the rocker panels, as do most that are designed this way for hardtop cars. Spohn does make ones that mount in the same location for convertibles, but are clearanced to mount along with the factory reinforcement. The MAC and Alston design doesn't change because there is no difference in that area between coupes and convertibles.

 

 

How long will this be going on for, as tax returns should be coming in soon

 

Just depends on when we get 6 orders


POST UP IF YOU ORDER PPL

 

i'll be ordering my set by next weekend for sure

and also whats the going rate to get SFC's installed? I've seen people post numbers ranging from $80 to almost $250 so whats the deal?

 

I had mine installed for $60 including the welding/cleaning of the surface on the car and on the SFC's themselves.

 

teh deal is, some of us can weld or have friends... so they're free.

some of us find car guys... they cost a couple beers or $20

then theres the good guys that arnt out to rip you off, they're $40 -$60

then theres basic good shops.. $80ish - $100ish

then theres the shops trying to make a lil extra $120-150

then theres places that want to analy rape you or have you go somewhere else. thoes are $150+ heard of some poor sap in cali paying $300 to have it done "because the labor rate is higher in cali".... bullshiznit. its cali. they just wanted to analy violate you.

 

What's the current status of this group purchase?

Are MAC sfc's exactly the same as Alston's? (Or what's different?)

Nothing needs to be cut or cleared right? From the pic, it looks like just a few easy welds and you're ready to roll....

Is ground clearance going to be a problem?

Laters,
Scott

 

Much to my surprise, no! The car is already low as funk (it's lowered using springs) and it would scrape as usual. Usual being entering and existing parking lots, etc.

I haven't lost a single bit of clearence no matter where I've gone so far.

 

I should have my tax money in the next couple of days. If it's still going, I want in. SFC's are the first thing on my list of things to do.

 

It should still be going.

I'm not going to be able to be in because unfortunately my transmission went out, so all funds have been diverted to that

 

Good, then I should see how much money I have left. (Registering several vehicles in hawaii is expensive as hell now!)

I was planning to buy alstons sfc's in the future anyway, this might save me some cash.

Laters.

 

what's the status on the order? I'll give the guys a call tomorrow since I just got a decent paycheck...I'm in if it's still going.

 

I've been looking to buy some SFC's. I want the competition engineering ones but I understand the Mac's will work with them. I might be able to make it in, just have to find a welder.

 

order status?

 

 

Dunno, I've been busy with my transmission

Anyone ordered yet?

 

Will these fit all 3rd gens because it says 86-92 I have a 84?

Does it have to be a vert cause mine isn't

 

Do a search, there's tons of info on the Alston's. I did it and found everything I was looking for.

 

anyone know if this GP is still going on?

 

I'd still like to know as well. I just got in an accident and hope to be coming into some money since it was the other guy's fault so I'll want to be getting some SFC's. Someone PLEASE let us know!

 

 

call and ask..... you have to call to order anyway.



even if its not, its good to ask so they will start another one.

 

Few questions:

Do these MAC's restrict ground clearance?
DO you have to cut the floor pan to install?
Will they work with factory exhaust?

I plan to run them in conjunction with Competition Engineering's Bolt-On SFC's.

Thanks

- My IROC is lowered and it did not affect ground clearance.
- No
- Yes

George

 

well I tried calling but they are closed of course, maybe I'll remember to call tomorrow to see if this deal is so going on.

 

If the group purchase is over, ask if they can start a new one I'm guaranteed.

Scott

 

I just called, Mike was out of the office. There was another gentleman trying to find out if it is still running. He couldnt find out and Mike is suppose to call me back. I told him we had lots of people still interested. Keep your fingers crossed!

 

well maybe he will call tomorrow, I think they are closed now.

 

keep us posted. I also called and Mike was out but I didnt leave a message.

 

I jusy talked with Mike and he said that the GP is still going on with the SFC's......he said that not one person has placed an order and that was since Jan.
That I would be the first. He told me that the price on the top thread still stands. He is ready to send items.


Im IN!

I just need to transfer money from PayPal to credit card.

I wish he had a PAYPAL account but he doesnt.

 

I'm in! Do we have to have all 6 orders in before any of them ship, or will they ship as the orders come in? I pick up my new (to me, at least) '89 IROC vert on Saturday, so I would be able to place my order on Monday.

 

the way he talked it seems that they will ship as orders come in.

 

so lets get a count here, I'm in and will order this weekend

 

I'm in for sure, I'll try to give them a call tomorrow if I have time. Otherwise this weekend or monday (whenever they open).

Scott

 

I'm calling tomorrow. I know DJCobol personally and he alerted me to this over here so I looked the deal over and decided that I wanted in. I can always get the boxed SFC's in conjunction with these in the future if I do drop in that 600ci TT'd monster J/k

 

Looks like a good deal here.

Think he'll go for selling a set of 4th gen subframes at the GP price?

 

This may be an idiotic question, and if so I apologize, but would there be any benefits to running TWO sets of SFC's i.e. have the Spohn perimeter type as well as the MAC ones that run closer to the center, would this aid in strengthening the chassis or would it be overkill? Just curious as both my camaros have excessive flex that I am trying to eliminate as much as possible.

 

I just got off the phone with Mike. I placed an order for a set of red ones. How is it I am the last person to hear about this GP (2 months after it started) but the first one to place an order? COME ON GUYS!!! Get those orders in! DJCobol is going to be calling next week (the week of the 28th - 3rd) so that'll be 2 orders already.

Ohh, Wishmaster, he said that he had talked to you and that you wanted to hold off on the order. No better time than now man to call in and get that order placed. We'll have ours shipped out first when 5 orders are in.
