VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Taken From: http://www.clubgti.com/FORUM/forum_posts.asp?TID=12495&PN=1PhatVR6 Has organised a Group Buy for some Samco Hoses, See Below...FINAL DETAILS!!!! After my enquires this week, Amber Performance have agreed to host a group buy for us on Samco Hoses. Here?s the deal. From opening of business on 01/03/04 (that?s Monday the first of March), you can ring Amber Performance and order your Samco hose kit. If 10 people order, we are entitled to a 25% discount off Samco RRP prices (as detailed below). If that figure rises to 20 or more, the discount will be 30% off Samco RRP. Colours make no difference to price or delivery timescale (currently estimated at 4-6 weeks following the end of the group buy).

They will need the kit code, your address, and credit card details, have these ready BEFORE you ring, and sort out any fitment issues with Samco directly prior to ordering.sales@samcosport.co.uk Wait until the 1st March. Ring 01582 572500 Ask for ?James? Say ?I?d like to purchase a coolant hose set under the ?ClubGTI group buy? please? (you MUST state its for the ClubGTI group buy or you won?t get the discount and it wont? go towards the numbers either) Then proceed with your order. All orders will be taken during the week. Amber will take all the orders down, but not process any payment until the last day of the group buy (08/03/04). At that point, Amber will add up the total number of people ordering and apply the relevant discount to all orders. I have asked for a daily update on orders placed to keep you all informed of what discount to expect. All prices listed below are excluding VAT. Delivery is £10 for set to anywhere in the UK. I have nothing to do with the money or the order itself, I just merely asked about a group buy. I take no responsibility whatsoever for any monetary transactions, mis-placed orders or lost discounts. I personally will only be ordering one set, it's up to you lot to commit to ordering yours within the time slot and ensuring we hit that higher discount figure. Get saving, and have you order details and kit code ready for the 1st. Cheers Paul [ Edited ][ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 keep the car mina!! dont sell it and get the samco hoses!! Link to post Share on other sites
1990 1 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 He wants it to start on the 1st march for either a week or 2, you order them from amber and quote CGTI Group Buy to get up tp 30% off Link to post Share on other sites
ukdub 0 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 got samco fitted to mine (not finished yet) you will have to buy bigger clips as the standard ones are not big enough for the smaller hoses. Not a problem as you can get a big bag from halfords for a few quid. Link to post Share on other sites
nickbee 1 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Do Samco hoses actually make a difference to anything, or do they just look good? I can't see how they would affect performance.Edited 'cos I can't type.[ Edited Thu Feb 19 2004, 09:30AM ] Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 they just look good.........but dont get RS turbo red or blue..........get purple...........mmmmmm....purrrrrrrrrrple Link to post Share on other sites
vrPat 0 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 They won't affect performance but I think they'll be loads stronger than the standard rubber pipework and won't split, which is good Link to post Share on other sites

simey 0 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Ok guys, I may have a Samco kit for sale at £175.35 for a manual VR6, as mine is an auto and has different pipes.I'll speak to Rally Design tomorrow, depending on outcome I will have a firm answer and will bring the kit on sunday.P.S. Rally Design offer these kits at the same as Amber Performance giving 25% discount.I'll speak to Rally Design tomorrow about bulk buys and post results here on friday.

dubloke 4 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 these hoses retail around the £200 mark right? so 25% , if my maths is correct, makes it £150 as a group buy, am i in the same ball park here? Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 See CGTI now for the final details. group buy starts on 1st of march and runs for a week. Link to post Share on other sites
simey 0 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 The CGTI prices that VR6Pete quoted are + VAT which made them over £200 & I worked out 25% off is £175.35. Link to post Share on other sites
simey 0 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Spoken to Rally Design & 10 kits would receive 10% discount but bare in mind their original price is £175.35 inc vat.Each kit (TCS109/C) would cost £157.52 inc vat which beats the CGTI price with 30% off £163.57.

1990 1 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I'll tell phatty, i guess that as long as there are loads of us we can all go to the cheapest place! As long as there is a group buy it doesnt matter where they come from! Ask around about 30 kits. Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 It's aready setup, I'm not changing anything now.buy from rally design if you're bothered about a fiver.... just don't go opening your mouth on CGTI about it and affecting the group buy from Amber please.It was actually Samco themselves who put me onto Amber, they said they sort out all the group buys.

DundeeDub 0 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Am interested to but need to work out finances.Remember all those £5's add up to alot. In my view go the cheaper route and save a fiver for each person. Even mention it on CGTi and then see what Amber do, in my view of buisness they should match that price straight away co then they can advertise there products to everyone who buys, and I bet you 80%-90% have never bought from Amber before or even heard of them before.

Macca 1 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Noob question time:Are these easy to fit myself? what colours do they come in, and has anyone got pics of an engine with them on? Link to post Share on other sites
1990 1 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Black, blue, rad, purple, orange.The hardest thing fitting them will be those fecking clips vw use Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 samco actually supply clips noe specific to the hose kits being sold so no worries about broken or stubborn vw ones. dunno how much they are but surely worth finding out to make life easier?? Link to post Share on other sites
