I'm interested in a set. If you're gonna do a group buy, do it soon. I wanna get mine in the next 2 weeks. If there is no buy, I will purchase them anyway.

thanks

Ricky,

unfortunately we don't have enough people to form a groupbuy at this moment. Just go ahead and purchase torque master. Let us know how it performs on your GS.

Percy,

Currently there are 5 potential orders (or 6 if the groupbuy takes place soon: Ricky). Could you give torque master a call and see they are willing to do a groupbuy? Thank you.

Tiny, mine came pre-gapped. BTW, I'm not very good at all mechanically and I changed out my plugs without too much difficulty. There are a couple plugs in the rear of the engine bay that requires some care due to the lack of room.

How about setting this up for real, if you've already got it cleared with Ethan, and starting a new thread? I might be in as well.

I don't have it cleared with Ethan! I'll try calling Torquemaster before the end of the week and see what they'll do for a batch order of 80 plugs. (10 people). The last time I spoke with them, discounts only applied to distributors and in quantities of 500. (ouch!)

How about a group buy of 62 people?

Let me give TM a call and see what they have to say...worst thing they can say is "no" to a group discount.

This may be a crazy idea...

How about contacting Steve Ganz and seeing if he wants to invest in an order of 500 or more and reselling them? Might be worth it if the discount is big enough.

He could get 30% for GS to cover us plus some, then a bunch for IS, SC etc. assuming they make them for other models. Might even get some for his Toyota makes as well.

Might not work since he sells a competing product (OEM plugs), though...

Sorry if I sound like I am repeating myself, but do you guys see complications with using these on a GS3s. Most of the discussion here are with people with GS4s. Thanks.

Neo - the plugs almost certainly will be different models, and I haven't seen anyone post on the performance increase you might expect from a GS3, so you don't have quite as much information to go on.

I'd go to the torquemaster website and make sure they have one for the GS3 engine first off. If they do, I'd assume you would have similar performance. Worst case (if you don't see a boost), you get new plugs put in your car, which should get you better mileage, etc.


William or Percy - are you calling Steve or should I?
