View Full Version : TX2k6 DVD Group Buy?
Fancy setting one up Dusty? Think a lot of people on our side of the pond will be wanting a copy! I definately do!
HELL YEA!!!!!!:)
me too plz:cool:
Can do. But we need a central person to ship to who can ship to everyone else. Might be easier and cheaper to do it through a UK trader, you can pay him however with a credit card and the freight costs would be nothing to get them from the USA to the UK as I could ship with his other parts.
Kind regards,
Dusty
Hiya dude, spoke to Gaz at Envy who said he'll be happy to do it. He'd need to work out the price to break even though. Hopefully there's gonna be enough interest for it as it looks like a cracking DVD :thumbs:

Dusty, are there any copies of previous Texas meets available? Think a few members might be interested in those too if there's any about.

Hope so, good point. Don't think they'd be region coded though.... will check with Dusty.

Good point, they might not be region coded, but they will be NTSC .
Mike
Dusty says they will work worldwide according to the manufacturer, waiting to confirm about the NTSC side of it though.
count me in for a copy:)

Just heard from Dusty, he has plenty in stock so I'll speak to Gaz tomorrow and try and come up with a price so that he breaks even. Bear in mind that these are coming from America so will probably be around the Ģ15-20 mark. Will be worth it though :thumbs:

Dusty's saying they should play worldwide (according to the manufacturer, he's also checking on the NTSC issue to make sure). Will add you to the list for now but if Dusty's wrong then i doubt anyone will get a copy anyway :thumbs:

Here is the answer from Turbofreaks, the manufacturer:
"They are not region coded, but they are in NTSC format, which might not play in full resolution on certain foriegn players. It should still play fine, just not at the highest resolution."
Thanks everyone!
Dusty
Cheers Dusty, will see what people say about that then. I still want a copy :D

Just for your info.
Ive not had any problems playing NTSC dvd's when they have not been allocated a region code. They even worked on the Playstation :)
I would be interested but what payment options are there? I live in Finland so the best and easiest for me would be paypal. Is it accepted?

Payment would be through Envy so i'm guessing it would be by any means you want. Prices are still to be worked out as we're still looking at the final number, seem like a few people want a copy though.
Yea ok stick me on the list..
How long are we going to be waiting for these?

Not too long i don't think, Dusty has over 200 copies in stock and we're getting a healthy number. Will be down to Gaz to work out a price delivered to everyone so he can break even. If everyone's happy with the price, just a case of getting payments to Envy.

Kopite or Gaz - whoever is in charge of this - just contact me when you are ready to finalize the quantity and the address to ship to.
I will work out a final delivered price to you so you can collect money or whatever it is you want to do.
Its your group buy, I am just supplying the DVD's.
Regards,
Dusty

Will do dude, think Gaz is meant to be ringing you at some point about something else, he's gonna discuss this at the same time. Will probably give a cut off of Sunday, there's just over 20 at the moment so should be a healthy number.
Cut off for this is Sunday night lads. Need to get on with it now.

Hi guys,
Quickly worked some numbers out. I think its going to be Ģ20 per film to get them bought and over here. UK delivery should be Ģ2 max per item.
One thing I will say is that I can't accept individual paypal payments, if someone wants to collect payments from everyone that wants to pay by this method and then make one payment to our bank account that would be much easier. Otherwise, BACS or credit/debit card is good with us.
Other than that, the DVDs have been ordered and Dusty is ready to ship as soon as money comes rolling in :)
Regards,
Gaz.

Gaz, is there any chance you can keep hold of mine and i will pick it up when i collect kopite`s front bumper? if it comes off before august then my bro will have to come pick it up
So is the price Ģ22 then!!

Yes actually. Our website was down for about 16 hours, it works now.
Our email was down for about 21 hours, it just started working less than 10 minutes ago.
Anyone who has emailed me and not received a reply - please send the email again and I will answer Thursday.
I apologize to everyone for the unforseen inconvenience and any delay in answering your queries!

Great dvd on turbo changing, and hero worship, does anyone in the USA know how to go around a corner properly?

Get out of the wrong side of bed this morning Ernie?
I recieved mine last Saturday and have only watched it as far the dyno tests so far... (basically because I haven't had time to see it all though, or have been too drunk to carry on watching... :d )
..and all I can say is 'wow'... they go for seriously crazy power but can any of those cars actually race competitively or drive normally..? 1200bhp..?! surely it's just a pissing contest for dyno figures..?

172,xxx miles on my daily driver Supra. My last dyno (as seen on the front cover of our largest Sport Compact magazine) was 1,089rwhp. I run 9's on the track and I drive it work any time its good weather and I don't need to carry something big. With a suspension and tire swap I have a good time on a circuit track, but the turbo is too big to be perfect out of the corners...so I just completed my HKS 3.4L Stroker motor and I have about 120 extra torque now. I have cold AC, a hot heater, a DVD player with 5.1 surround sound, I put up to 20,000 miles a year on it, and I will beat any bike or car that pulls up next to me on the highway at any given time.
Some of us in the USA know how to do it right. :)

Dusty

Naw, just sick of seeing Supra's branded 1/4 mile cars, when in fact they are IMO "King of the ring". I just dont see the point in tuning a car so it takes off like a rocket but is a days work to control on corners.
You know me Martin, I just "buck it out of me" lmao ;)
