Well I will have 10 of them then for that price!

(Can't find a rate for SA$ just Rand????)

Live rates at 2008.09.08 09:08:56 UTC

1,490.00 ZAR = 107.096 GBP

South Africa Rand United Kingdom Pounds 1 ZAR = 0.0718765 GBP 1 GBP = 13.9128 ZARhere!!

Rand is the national currancy of SA but they accept the US dollar so think it safe to assume it is indeed US dollars they are quoting in.

nunoctr · 8th September 2008, 10:34

sorry. It's singapore dollars!!

wheelconnector · 8th September 2008, 10:37

That's more like it.

£600 ish as expected.
That's a bargain as it comes with £100 worth of brake lines. Buy direct and keep your fingers crossed about import and local tax's and it's not so bad.

Is that true

???
I hope not.
Any news guys?

wheelconnector · 8th September 2008, 11:19

Looking at pictures of LHD vs RHD FN2s, sadly enough, it is true. Unless we find a way to relocate the brake fluid inlet thingy, it will sit right where the airbox would be going.

nunoctr · 8th September 2008, 11:36

the problem isn 't the brake oil reservoir bacause you can put this in another place.

the problem i saw is the brake master cilinder

illegalhunter · 9th September 2008, 16:17

Ive seen on CTR there now talking about £590 delivered if you can take 10

K15KNY-FN2 · 9th September 2008, 23:00

im interested in group buying!.. if you want 10 people to buy it, please put my name down as well please!..

tdi-north · 11th September 2008, 11:19

£564.00

FN2 GruppeM

This is the price. Not part of any group buy either.
We have the first batch at this price but as they are being imported the Yen£££ rate changes so price may need to vary slightly in the future.

We make our money on fitting, setups and tuning so the price is as good as you will get anywhere.

Also remember our 15% offer on labour this month so could be quite a saving.

K15KNY-FN2 · 11th September 2008, 17:39

im interested in it and i was wondering have you got it in stock? if not then how long do i have to wait?

Expect 2-3 hours.
It's taking that long for the FD2's and was a good 2 hours on the EP3's.

15% of Labour rates in September...cough cough.

E-mail from Gruppe-M about LHD kit:
---------------------------------
Re: Message from gruppem online store
Hello.
Thank you for the contact.
It is due to confirm whether installation of a left-hand-drive car can be done.
If how much modifies, it will be due to search about whether installation is possible.
And information.
Thank you.

I think if they have enough people emailing asking for a LHD kit, they´ll make it.

I have emailled them a few times and evem gave them the idea of removing all the original intake, relocate the batery where the intake was. That leaves a massive space where the batery was, i recon a great place for a proper intake!!!

We´ll see, but i do want a GruppeM badly!! Lets hope!!!

mpgod · 22nd September 2008, 18:33

Well i would also want 1 badly!

mattsbobo · 24th September 2008, 15:07

For those of you wondering if it can be installed on a LHD car, the answer would be yes. You would definitely have to relocate the master cylinder, but I've seen it done on a USDM FA5, using a JDM FD2 intake.

I still don't understand why Gruppe M did that under the hood deal though. I don't see why they didn't recreate the FD2 intake for the FN2.

dinoc · 24th September 2008, 15:29

Rgarding LHD FN2, how difficult will be to relocate the master cylinder ?
What's wrong with the under hood design ?

Regarding the FD2 gruppe-m intake, I don't understand what's happening when it rains ... if you have that scoop on top of the hood (under the rain wipers) ?
