In the UK I haven't heard of VK Motorwerks before I sqw this thread. Can someone tell me a bit about them ? ie:-
How big a company are they ?
what R&D do they put into products ?
Any customer testimonials ?
What previous projects have they done and released ? and how have they performed with competitor products ?

When did you talk to them about a group buy? I tried calling VK Motorworks multiple times, always goes to voicemail, sent them a PM but no responses, you guys still around and will there be a group buy?

i guess this is not happening?

I'd love to know who came up with the price, its a great price but IMHO I think you're all dreaming. Just my two cents.

I PM'd Vince about the groupbuy and how I could get in it and all he responded was to go to the website directly and purchase the intercooler there. The price there is 875 and is obviously not a groupbuy, so I'm not too sure this is happening.

No answers to phone calls or PM's kind of makes me loose trust in VK. My plan has been to go with the VK FMIC for a while now, but if a company does not get back to customers in a timely fashion then I will start looking at other companies.
