Default Lindsey 3 piece crossmember group buy

Ok folks. We have Randy V's blessings for this group buy and I got a response from David at Lindsey Racing. The 3 piece crossmember is a time intensive part, but with 5 people, we can get the price to $250 each. Please make sure you are totally committed before saying "Yes". I have my core in hand, so we will need an additional 4 people. The conditions so far are:

1.) Per Dave, his partner, Mike, can not turn these around overnight, so expect at least a week or when he gets to them. And no asking for 1-2 day turnarounds.

2.) Because he has only 4 cores on hand, it would be ideal if we can do it as cores are exchanged. If you have the core in hand, that would speed things up.

I do not want to handle your financial info, so I will suggest that I send David an e-mail and CC all you guys that are committed to this buy. I also suggested for those of us with cores to get some sort of RMA number for each person and send our cores and credit card info by mail or phone. Will this be an acceptable arrangement? If so, send me your e-mail address and contact info and I will include it in the reply to Dave. Final terms and payment will be between you and Dave.

A little update: Dave wants all people interested in the group buy to contact Lindsey Racing directly. Please identify that you are part of the Rennlist group buy.

So far, I have 3 people confirmed (including me). Please add your name below and send me your contact info. Dave also mentioned he can accomodate more than 5 people, but no more than 10. Turnaround time will be a factor with more people.

1.) Me (with core)
2.)jaje (with core)
3.) Dare (with core)
4.)
5.)

If anyone needs crossmember cores for this I have a bunch of them. I can do $65 each including shipping out to Lindsey.

Too bad I did mine last year, could have saved money on the deal. If your thinking of doing this just do it because I love it and it has saved me twice so far. This is the part that will pay for itself later on.

Rod bearings. If you have a turbo, you will want to do something along the lines of a 3 piece crossover pipe as well.

No turbo, picked up an 89 S2 last week and I'm slowly researching all the fun I'll be having.

Sorry guys, I can't do it this round. A rock cracked my AC condensor on my daily driver and I'm too must of a ***** to not have AC. It was 100 degrees a couple days ago. It's going to take nearly my entire budget I had for this purchase.
