[s-cars] GP for Samco Hoses, Update and Inut needed!

[James Murray (LMC)]

S-Heads,

Ok, we have a total of 22 people that have responded asking to participate
in the GP for Samco Silicon Hoses!
I've never done this before so please bear with me...On to the next step!

Note: We will be going with Samco for the full set, not SFS since they only
have one hose available (only one person responded to this) and Samco has
corrected the length issue so it only makes sense to go with them (cheaper,
faster, proven, etc.).

If you are definitely "IN" on this GP for Samco Silicon hoses you NEED to
answer me back with the following:

1) You're full name and address or at least your location for now (for
shipping, etc.)
2) What color do you want???  There are 7 Colors Available: Blue, Red,
Yellow, Green, Purple, Black, Orange.
3) Do you want the chrome rings on the lower crossover pipe to intercooler?
(Yes or No)
4) Confirm which hoses you want (a full kit or specify the exact hose, see
below to quote the number)
5) How do you plan to pay? (Paypal or Check?)

A few more additional questions...for those that wanted me to poll all of
you ;-)

6) Do we ship all these by Boat or Plane? (boat is cheapest, Plane is
fastest) or you don't care.
7) Do you prefer to pay slightly more and have Samco ship in a box, or are
you ok with a Big Bag (cheaper). Box or Bag, or don't care?
8) Would you be interested in having other hoses manufactured (Yes or No).
9) If Yes to above please list the hose you'd like (for example: Radiator
hoses)
10) Interested in SS clamps? (Yes or No) (Samco does not offer these, but
maybe another member can pull this off for us separately?).

If there is enough interest to getting "other" hoses manufactured we can ask
either Samco or SFS to make these and hold a separate GP, let me know if you
want to host this one! Also here's a link for some clamps

The final cost... I don't know yet. As I initially mentioned I think it will
be at least $100 US cheaper than what's on the market but I haven't yet
factored in all the variables, and I need to look into shipping costs, duty,
taxes, etc. (can anyone help me here?).

Here is the list of Samco Hoses and part numbers:
TB735  Hose from turbo to crossover pipe & TB736  (Spout  for the hose
below)
TB653 Hose from crossover pipe to intercooler
TB652 Hose from intercooler to throttle body

What I'll do next is compile your input and try to figure out the costs and
then I'll update all of you !

Cheers, /James "Hoser" Murray.
