GB Economy Frame Rail Stiffeners.. 115 Shipped! 8 in, need 2 more!
 

Stein passed the torch onto me! Same rails, rear bolt hole moved up .5in for better fitment. Hardware included. I've received a couple of good quotes that puts them right at the same price area of 115 shipped in the lower 48 (USA). If you missed your first in on these rails, here is your chance!

Wow, good job! I still need to get mine on...

Im gonna watch this thread. And see if I can move some money around.

Okay, I was just about to put the BBS wheels back on and just sport them instead of sell.

Instead I emailed the 3 serious guys back.

Stiffness FTMFW!

So... is this on or do we still need more time?

We get 10 people signed on and I'll make the order for you guys. It should be about a week after that.

I'm down to be on that list.

how does this compare to flyin miata rails? I have the FM rails on my car right now, deciding whether or not to remove them and pick yours up or just keep the FM rails on my car.

These are solid, so they will be slightly heavier, but also a little more stiff.

If you are interested in something far stiffer then the FM rails, I have a design for an IM9 carbon based frame rail with a foam core. Expensive check, the best... check. Careful running into semi's with your car after the install, they might loose.

what a pain to install, but these would be so frakking nice. I would never have to worry about jack points again, that's for sure. Sadly tires, brakes, oil cooler, and life are ahead of new frame rails.

Vincent - sell yours to me... and then buy these :)

+1, put me down on the list for these rails. (depending on if wherestheboost buys my FM rails or not)


Travis, how much for the carbon based frame rails?

Aye... I'm sorry guys - I was in a bind... and I folded... I bought the FM frame rails. :-/

I'll still want these unless I blow my money on something else before the order date.

I'd say around $400. The set weighs in right at half the weight of one frame rail, and are about 10X the stiffness. Composites are good.

I have 4 officially down for the GB so far.

Travis, put my name on the official list, or instruct me on how to prepay/whatever.

I can't pass this deal up again, or I'll hate myself later.

I hope you feel good about taking the food from my children's(well one child's) mouth(s). You vendors profit from what I consider a real sickness we have, an addiction if you will.



jk, looking forward to a badass stiffness mod.

Jeeze, I'll go slit my wrist now. :laugh: 7 In, just 3 more!

I'm hoping the FM rails are on backorder now... so i can save ... $60

Count me in as well. Can wait to put these on.

I am in, let me know where to send money to.

Cool - the rails are on backorder - until the 14th...15th ish.

So... I'm down! Put me on this list.

Welcome aboard! 8in 2 to go.

add me to the list...
only need one more :)

9/10

I cant spend money until after the 19thish. So if this is still going by then Ill be in.

Travis
Do you plan on selling these regularly on your site? Or will you only be doing group buys?

I have planned on putting them up on the site after the GB at Stein's last price of $125 shipped. I just know some people wanted to be in Stein's group buy, and were saving up for the frame rails at the original price he offered them. I also know what its like to save up for something and price suddenly goes up. While $10 isn't a huge deal this is for those people who couldn't get the money together to be in Stein's buy.

So if you just don't have it now, you can pick them up later.

I guess I'll put an official date of expiration on this of the 19th. I'm already in the process of having these made so hopefully by the time everyone gets the money to me the order will be ready to go.

Yeah let me know when to pay etc - is there any chance at all that these would be shipped out and at my house before the 25th? (Tech Day)

That would be tough to do I'll admit, just have to see on that.

Button is up!
You have to use this link!!!

This is just for the MT people, so you have to use the link. Its not officially on the website yet.

Good deal. Say I was to go in on this, when would you need payment?

lol....NM. I just saw there was a whole second page to this thread. I might be in, I'll know in a couple days.

TravisR, payment sent via above link. Can't wait to see them!

Got it! I've got 2 people paid so far.

Just paid, can't wait to see them!

Check!

Deadline was supposed to be the 16th, but I don't have everyone on board yet. Please try to get the payments in soon.

You heard the man, pay up!

yeah, I'm waiting on these already, please pay up

How long will it take for these to get made?

I was quoted 2 weeks, but I've already got the process moving, so I'm hoping we can get them in a week and half and have them out in 2 weeks. I can't stock these though if I don't get enough people in on the group buy. I have to order them in sets of 20, and it is ALOT of money for me to just tie up in frame rails.

Well I appreciate you doing it, and I'm really looking forward to see just how great they are.

any updates?

Well we've only got 4 payments in of the 11 that said they would participate. Not sure what happened here. I have the order in, and barely any of it is being covered by ther orders I have so far. I thought we would have had more that would come through then this.

U have paypal. Just to confirm, these will fit my 99 right?

OT: I am hoping that maybe you will have a GB on adaptronic again sometime... thanks again for alerting me of the last one. Next time please do those bigger purchase offers AFTER taxes are due!!

I was worried this might happen when the majority of the GB was a bunch of newbs.

Do we still get the same price shipped, or will the order fall through and we end up paying whatever regular price is?

No its fine, I've got you guys covered. Its not the fault of the people that paid.

Just so you guys know, these fit 89-05!

Just a note: I had a shop mount the version 1 to my car and it is truly amazing! You need this on your car.

I'm on my third set with none installed. Everytime I get a new set, somebody begs to buy them from me. Thinking about stocking them:eek:

I'm looking forward to this more than I was with my suspension.

My car has 220K+ miles on the chassis, and is a friggin' rattletrap. I'm just glad there are good options out there. I was either going to have to save up for the FM set, or weld some angle iron...

You will love them. I haven't had a single person say that they didn't make a significant improvement in the 45 sets that I sold. Glad that Travis was able to continue this product. When you said angle iron, that is what made me do them in the first place. When I first did them FM rails were $200. Too much for what they are. After these came out they dropped the price. Another guy did an angle iron set for cheap and I thought, "I can do that" and just bridged the gap.

Things like this are what make the Miata enthusiast crowd great.

Not to mention my fab skills suck, and I hate to thing about what a loose piece of 4' angle iron could do under a car at 80mph :ugh:

TravisR, what is the ETA on these? Just wondering.

count me in! +1
;)

I am in

If you are in, just follow this Link and send payment.

just for shits and giggles, how much would I get raped on shipping a set to holland?

IIRC, the ones I shipped to UK, Ireland and one other country were all around $82.50 for a set USPS Priority Mail which was the best rate that I could find.

I would say the same thing, I won't know until I actually go down there but somewhere just south of $100.

Travis, for those of us who paid, do you have an ETA on when the rails will go out?
