**n-body Intakes Cai Group Buy Fall 2005**

[Red99GAGT]

I am going to provide the GAOC community with another opportunity to pick up a CAI for their Grand Am at a very fair price. It will run very similarly to the one from last April, but I need to emphasize that everyone who wishes to participate in this to follow the directions below.

I use 3" polished aluminum tubing with your choice of silicone couplers (red, blue, can get yellow and black but supplies are not always readily available). I use stainless steel clamps and a K&N Inverted end cone filter. The filter sits inside the fender well, away from road debris but ready to breathe plenty of air. The HP benefits have never been verified, but the "a$$" dyno never lies and there is a noticeable difference.

https://home.comcast.net/~krichards1015/cai_engine.jpg

If I can get committed orders for either the complete CAI kit and/or the CAI kit w/out a filter here are the price breakdowns.

3 orders:
Complete Kit: $160 + $15 shipping to US ($20 to Canada)
Kit w/out filter: $105 + $10 shipping to US ($15 to Canada)

5 orders:
Complete Kit: $155 + $15 shipping to US ($20 to Canada)
Kit w/out filter: $100 + $10 shipping to US ($15 to Canada)

7+ orders:
Complete Kit: $150 + $15 shipping to US ($20 to Canada)
Kit w/out filter: $90 + $10 shipping to US ($15 to Canada)

If you are going to commit 100% to this purchase, please EMAIL ME (krichards1015@comcast.net) by October 31, 2005 the latest. Please include your GAOC screen name, your full name, and the type of kit that you intend to purchase along with the color of couplers you desire. On Tuesday, November 1, I will announce how many people have committed to pay and will provide you with the group purchase price to the email address you provide.

I will send you an invoice on November 1, 2005 with what you requested and the price. At that point I will give you payment instructions. I am only accepting money orders for methods of payment. Thank you.

[Creative Mayhem]

As noted on the other thread, I am in for one with black couplers, just give me the when and where to send a MO.

[Red99GAGT]

I should have noted earlier...black couplers are not always available through my supplier. I will do my best to get them but I can not make any gurantees.

[Creative Mayhem]

Damn you for making me have to come up with some sort of color scheme ;)

[Import_Sound]

I'm in for a complete kit with red thanx

Please see the description in the very first post.

Any cone filter no longer than 6" with a 3" inlet should work.

[taisgod]

one last question.. will this give any mpg increase? im not planning on getting on my car and i drive it easy so hopefully i get some +mpg.

October 31st...I would expect payment within a week or two after that. But no later.

Please read the first post for details.

[Import_Sound]

Looks like we might have a 7th

[PontiacGT]

Tell you guys the trugh, I'd be in in a heartbeat if I knew it would fit the 97 3100......but I'm not one to be first, so I can't do it without seeing it done first... it's a pretty good deal.

[taisgod]

another question but doesnt affect my decision to buy.. can this kit be used somehow as a wai during the winter?

[grizbone]

Im in, when do you need the money by?

:iagree:

[Red99GAGT]

I know for a fact it would not fit a pre-99 Grand Am. Some one on here did buy a kit from me but if I remember correctly I had to send them an extra coupler and extra piece of aluminum. I will try to research it.

[ChevelleSSLS6]

who was that? That way you could sell more, the 3100 guys are hungry for a good CAI, with a setup similar to the 3400 it should be fairly easy.

[Red99GAGT]

Not sure...i'm busy enough with the 3400 kits however. After this group buy i'm probably going to stop making them.

[Red99GAGT]

Pre-99 cold air intake kit made by Marksman: Click Here (http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14859)

I remember this now. I just supplied him with all the parts. I didn't do any fabricating at all...Marksman did everything. Came out pretty good.

[Import_Sound]

1 day left

[Creative Mayhem]

Red, seeing that I have the 3100, do you think you can add whatever parts are neccesary(if any) extra $ will be paid of course...

[Red99GAGT]

Yes I could get that for you. It would be an extra straight pipe, another coupler and a couple clamps.

[Red99GAGT]

OK guys this group purchase has come to an end. Those 7 members listed should expect an email from me momentarily.

Thanks again!

[99GrandAMSE]

Way to go Keith!! :)

[InsaneSkippy]

I'm going to the post office today after school to get the money order.

[Import_Sound]

Can't wait for the CAI, Thanks a bunch red

[Creative Mayhem]

I responded to your email. Thanks again!

[grizbone]

Where do you get money orders?

[Import_Sound]

Bank or Post Office, a money order is also a cashier check so if they give you a cashier check its the same thing

btw

MO sent

[InsaneSkippy]

MO sent today :)

[Red99GAGT]

Everyone should check their emails if they haven't already.

[ChevelleSSLS6]

I sent my money order earlier today, I got the email last night (been away from the compy alot lately).

I had lots of fun organizing this, sending PMs to members who have 99+v6 GAs and those who were considering DrSpeed. Many thanks to Red99GAGT for doing one probable last run of the CAIs.

[taisgod]

my money will be sent out very soon, eithe thursday or friday.

[Import_Sound]

at least i know mine will be done in the front of the pack

[ChevelleSSLS6]

/\but mine will be done before yours! hahaha!

[Import_Sound]

I sent mine on monday, and he got mine. He'll notify you when he gets it.

[ChevelleSSLS6]

I wonder if the stamp stuck on...

it was 'used' but didnt get the stamped lines and crud at the post office... I used a glue stick in hopes it would stay put for it's 750+ mile journey.

I should know by wednesday, either with a big red stamp saying "no stamp no delivery for you" or a notification from Keith.

If theres any fears of me falling out of this, the answer is no- I'm not a flake. just a fyi.

[InsaneSkippy]

I got my email.

[taisgod]

hey insane how does your exhaust sound? super loud or is it just right?

[InsaneSkippy]

Just right actually, you can barely tell if you have the windows up in the car, but on the outside, you can really tell it's an aftermarket setup, I'm really happy with the way it sounds.

This is a clip from a meet up *curses the rev limiter*

[Import_Sound]

So...........Did anybody get their intakes yet??

[InsaneSkippy]

I haven't gotten mine yet, but I'm not really surprised, he's got to make/ship 7 of them.

[taisgod]

yea im not expecting mine to come til about 1-2 weeks at least

[sunfirejoe]

i hope my money is there, he ahsnt e-mailed me yet its making me worried

[Import_Sound]

I know its going to take awhile. Thats suck Joseph, might want to mail him.

[ChevelleSSLS6]

I've heard some negative stuff from DrSpeed regarding shipping, taking 3 months to get stuff delivered.

It's still perplexing how we are still posting here.

Oh well. It's my whoring corner I guess.

[InsaneSkippy]

If I get mine before the 3rd of December I'll be happy. :)

[Red99GAGT]

Joe, I just received your money order today.

As for shipping the kits out....hopefully I will have some out by monday. Not all of them though. I will let you guys know.

[grizbone]

Any word bud, just bored and curious

[taisgod]

nope i havent heard anything.

[Import_Sound]

me either

[sunfirejoe]

wicked, yah really id liek mine but we jsut got snow so :(

[ChevelleSSLS6]

/\means you can do donuts without burning off your tires.

just make sure the parking lot you choose isn't busy, and stay away from 'dry' spots. A friend of mine busted the tranny on his neon that way.

[Import_Sound]

2 years ago a friend of mine pulled the e-brake on snow and hit dry pavement and his wheel fell off. Completely off. And bent alot of other shit under their.

[sunfirejoe]

yah too abd for studded winter tires (N) lol but its still fun to pull the ebrake, lol, hmm now about my fonr bumper lol, wait till u see the damage that coyote did arg :S

[InsaneSkippy]

Haven't heard anything either, probably just busy.

[Import_Sound]

Im not worrying, he said he would send some out Monday. If not then thats alright too.

[Red99GAGT]

Hey guys. Sorry about not posting sooner. I have been extremely busy. I have all of the materials and some of the kits made up and ready to go, but I want to ship them all out at the same time so I only have to make one trip. That will be on Thursday morning guranteed. All will have insurance on them. For the US guys, you should have it by this Saturday..if not than definately Monday. For Joe in Canada, it will take longer. They always say it could take up to two weeks but I've seen them get there in 5 days.

Again, I know you guys want these kits. I just hope you can understand how busy I am and I'm working really hard to get these all done. Rest assured, they ALL will go out on Thursday. Thanks guys.

[Import_Sound]

:woot:

[sunfirejoe]

awesome hehehe me being a damned canadian lol, i make thigns difficult if its like my pulley ill be happy he quoetd em 2 months and showed up 3 days after i ordered lol

[Import_Sound]

:lol: thats how things usually work

[Red99GAGT]

All of the kits are done and ready to go out tomorrow morning! Thanks again guys.

[sunfirejoe]

wicked shit, man u rule, now i can bloat to a wicked cai

[Import_Sound]

:woot: :woot: I can't wait.

[taisgod]

no, thank u!

[Red99GAGT]

Just got back from the post office. The kits are on their way.

[InsaneSkippy]

:woot: Can't wait man.

[sunfirejoe]

yay for shiny metal,, hahaha, lol umm cant wait man i love the sound already

[Import_Sound]

I just keep imagining what its gonna sound like. I'm like a kid in a candy shop. O do you have the tracking codes??

[Red99GAGT]

I do have the insurance numbers, but they can't be used for tracking on USPS.com. It will be there my friend.

[Import_Sound]

I don't doubt you. Im just wondering if it will be here before i go on my trip. Thats all. Sorry if i sound too eager.

[InsaneSkippy]

I got my kit, thanks Keith!!

[Import_Sound]

Yup, so did i. Got it around 10 in the morning yesterday. Its already on too. They only thing is i left the ribbed for your pleasure on. Didn't want to take out the one sensor. Also i'll get pics as soon as the digicam gets back to the house.

[InsaneSkippy]

I've got to wait until next weekend or sometime later in this week to install mine :(

Good to hear! Just be careful when putting the sensors in through the black grommets. Try to hold them so they don't push through.

Installation isn't too bad, huh?

[Import_Sound]

Nope not bad at all. I laugh at my self but the only thing that was really difficult was those push pins. They didn't want to come out and i ended up breaking 2 of em. But I have extras. :) Thanx alot. I've gotten compliments on it on how nice it looks.

this and being below freezing while turning wrenches.

otherwise not too bad to install, the sensors just pull the sensors out, not the wires, and hold the grommets in place while installing the sensors on the connector.

As for the battery box, I needed to put a washer since I got carried away with it:roll2:

But it sounds wicked now, and it's a lot better than just the filter stuck on the MAF (wai).

[Red99GAGT]

Awesome!

seriously... that's worse than when I went scouting a construction site with the GA back in the spring.

I got stuck in some mud, so I looked around and found an old pallet, broke it down into planks and jacked the car up (it sank into the mud so I had to use some planks and little stakes to support it) and finally once the tire was a little above ground level fill the rut with the pallet planks and anything else I could find and drive off. See pic.

EDIT: this is the kind of stuff that happens when a redneck gets stuck in the suburbs. (well Im really lacking the plaid and cowboy hat and have a distaste for duct tape beyond temporary repair but I'm still part redneck)

[taisgod]

dude it looks like u opend up your hood and dumped a garbage bag of dirt over your engine lol. if your really looking to increase performance of your car, try cleaning the engine and maybe u wont get dirt in the engine or in the wires or corrosion can happen and screw with all of that.

[Import_Sound]

You guys will have to realize i live in rural part of the state. Actually the whole state is mostly rural but anways. half the time you drive over gravel roads alot when delivering things to ppl. Usually i take the tempo where as i don't care what happens to it. But when my bro has it i take my car. I do clean my engine but when you have to deliver something to people in the country it gets hectic. Not to mention when it snows here, the county puts dirt on the snow.

To be honest i had so much s**t to do lately i have neglected my car. This past 3-4 days i was at State Student Council. Week before that i had setup FFA orders and got stuff ready to be sent out to ppl. And i have a 5 pg report due tomorrow at 10 am. i am now on page 2...

[ChevelleSSLS6]

I wasn't meaning to throw bullets at ya, but understanfding your situation it's understandable.

Dirt is better than salt, stuff friggin eats the cars here in MI.

Ya, i also made my last post with only 6 hours of sleep within 3 days so needless to say i was defensive.

Ya salt is a problem in the eastern side of the state. But where i live their is barely any salt.

[RedGrandAm2003]

I'm TOTALLY late for this, but no chance of another 1 happening anytime soon eh Keith? Like.. in the next couple months? Or else just to see how many people will go in on one, Would much rather support a GAOC member, looking to make some extra dough, than some company like Dr Speed or something.

[Red99GAGT]

Sorry I'm all done making CAI's...just not enough time for me to make them.

[airbornflght]

damn-it....

[ChevelleSSLS6]

I'm gauging interest on them
and plan on hopefully making a spring run... Yes I did buy one of keith's and they will be of the same design.
