I'd imagine a serious PIA for any one trying to organise oneadd chasing payment, delivery etc.Understanding there are third parties/agents pushing gear as wella business needs it's lead times within which to work.What the tuners lose on product in mark up they should makeup on the installation and tuning side.Probably easier for Kev to organise a national group buy and pricing IMOHe see's his national demand and capabilities.That gives the customer the best possible price given greater scale.He knows his costs timelines etc, also broadens his reach and people can use theirtuner of choice where ever they maybe.The more variables the more possible f/upsIf it were me I wouldn't put brakes on success.No reason you can't have fitters and tuners of choice as part of the package.My opinion onlyLet rip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your suggestion were u thinking of Kev doing an ebay type deal, with a special price once a min number sign up?As far as tuners go, we can already buy direct from process west anyway, and upgrading the cooler = tune required anyway so they aren't really losing out.For many of us its about sourcing decent parts as we can afford them with a gradual buy-up, and obviously the most cost-effective way to do that is to go direct where possible, and do the install and get the tune done when we canAs mentioned above I'd be keen on a 2nd hand stage 1 core but they r fairly rare!My 2c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
