MKI Rear Tie Rod (Pair) January group buy

[gonae86]

Hi all.
Here I am organizing my first group buy :thumbsup:

First things first.
This group buy will only go through if we get 5 or more participants.

The parts will be purchased from SBITS / Peter Gidden.
Although I do not know Peter personally I have done some research and he has excellent feedback from his costumers and he has been trading for at least 7 years.

here are some pictures of the parts in question.

Tie bars are all stainless, and are full kits. Including new outer track rod ends, spherical inner bearings and spacers.
The group buy is for the pair, if you wish to join please reply to this topic and don't forget to mention if your vehicle is a mk1a or mk1b

as money goes:
1-5 sets £125/set
5-8 sets £115/set

This group buy will close in the end of January. If we have enough participants the parts will be ordered first week in February, if not then the participants should contact Peter directly if they are still interested.

Some reasons why this is a good investment:

The rear tie rods on the MKI MR2 are prone to severe corrosion and over time fuse together into one piece. This makes alignments nearly impossible and most people find that their rear tie rods are either bent or mangled after attempting an alignment.

Rear tie rods ends can only be sourced at the Toyota dealer and they cost £50+ each

These Tie bars are all stainless, and are full kits. Including new outer track rod ends, spherical inner bearings and spacers. Because they use front standard track rod ends (still sold by aftermarket manufacturers) if something goes wrong with your rear tie rod ends in a couple of years you can always get a £14 replacement!!

Please do let me know if you can think of other reasons :)

we have 6 now :D another 3 and it will get real cheap .....

[Kateg28]

Ok then count me in.

[gonae86]

Kateg28, mk1b or mk1a ?

[Kateg28]

It is a mk1b. Actually, I better check something first. Mine is a supercharger, are they the same as an N/A?

[superwhite90]

Yes

[gonae86]

The next buyer causes the GB price to drop to £107 for all!

[EppingMk1SC]

The next buyer causes the GB price to drop to £107 for all!

That would be me then. Stick me down for a set. Mk1b SC.

[andyj]

Yes, please put me on the list as well. Just looked at mine and they're in a real rusty state. Mk1b SC

[CecilWard]

I'll confirm that I'm in later on in the week.

Hi all.
I am about to leave the country, I will be back on the 31st of January.
I will update the participants list for the last time when I get back.

If you wish to join please reply to this post before the 31st and I will update it as soon as I get back.

I will also be sending a private message to everybody with payments details on the 1st of February.

Payments will be made directly to "SBITS / Peter Gidden"

Thank you all for your participation :)

[gonae86]

All PM's are now sent.

Please make sure Peter knows your postal address so that he can ship the items to you.

Please let me know if you are on the buyers list and have not received a PM with payment instructions.

Payments need to be in by midnight 7th January.

Thank you all.
