[BoomOne]

So I just emailed them to find out if they are willing to do a group buy and they are.

They are looking for an estimate of numbers, so if you are interested put your name down and then I can let them know the numbers and we can get the ball rolling

and to throw a big old spanner in the works, k-tec has said that they will do a group buy on theirs:

Only if we order over 10

I'm gonna start two threads in the group buy section and you guys can decide what you want

Woah the same design again... :/

Its the same unit but a different colour? So whatevers cheaper I guess..?

 

[Tucker]

i'm guessing it will be from ebay

[BoomOne]

except the one on ebay wont fit our clio's...

Fits
Renault 5 Turbo, 1991-1996
Renault Clio 16V, 1991-1996
Renault Megane, 1996-2000
Renault 19, 1988-1995


And the MB and ktec ones have a good rep, whereas the ebay one is a bit of an unknown...

ktec one comes in anthresit or black

i'm guessing it will be from ebay

[Tucker]

actually i'm pretty sure they fit.

ask Tomgeartom, think he said it was pretty much identical.

 

[172cupwizard]

A reduction in movement with 25% - 30%, and in combination with our special
clutch pin even a reduction of 45% - 50%;

How much is the special clutch pin lol

 

[BoomOne]

app the clutch pin isnt a very good idea as its a bit too much for our gear boxes.. thats what ive read from other threads on here

except the one on ebay wont fit our clio's...

It should fit, it looks exactly the same to the eye as the one I have on my car, but im using the MBPerformance version, not sure why everyone is copying it?!

 

[mark989]

how much will ktec do it for delivered for 10 of us?

 

[franx]

The MB one is the best , independently tested

(Ps; yep the clutchpin will be overkill on your synchros)

We fitted one of these for a customer. No stainless steel shaft and it felt like that if you changed gear hard enough it would bend. Made in China special!
