Ok..

Now that the kits are out in stock... I think we should seriously considering all doing one thing so we can get a decent prices.. For those of us who are ready to get the KIT ASAP..

Now, that doesn't matter if it means we take a trip in the US.. So we could do 2 options with that.. We can bring that back with us and pay whatever duty we may get coming back... Or we can talk to some dealers around and see what they would be willing to offer if you buy so and so many kits...

Now we need to know who is seriously in on this.. And who has the $1000/$1500 (or Credit Card) available to get the stage kits (less depending on kit you want)... If your interested, but don't plan on doing it now or soon then don't bother.. If you don't have the money to get the kit anytime soon (or now) then dont bother..

Not trying to be sound rude about that.. But it really doesnt help/benefit to say yes I want one, but not planning on gettin one for a year.. It just sorta makes a big list of people and only half of them are getting the kit now..

So if we can figure out how to get these kits at the best possible price/way then lets do it up.. I will call some dealers around my area to see what they are say... Then come back and let you know what they will sell the kits for.. Who knows maybe the more peple we get, the lower they may offer them for..

Also do you think it would be better to get an intake and exhuast (etc) before you reflash the computer.. So that is recongizes the change.. Or do you think that the program only programs what GM's kit is suppose to change..?

Ok..

1) Jonathan (90BerettaGTZ) - Stage 2 kit

omg... not another stage kit thread...

omg... not another stage kit thread...


#1 - Your not from the Ontario region.. And your not even Canadian.. So I don't even know why your posting in a thread starting a groupbuy

#2 - If you don't wanna read another stage kit thread, then why bother clicking it.. the titles says it all.. If you don't like it, then dont look.. Plain and simple. Man people like you are sorta annoying.. You hate something, but you still look, then when you look at the thing you hated already, you make a stupid comment.

#3 - If you have not noticed, the stages kits ARE out and being shipped.. So umm if your gonna say something about "omg, not another stage thread", then sorry but that would should be pointed in the direction of all the threads asking when they are coming out, or how long its gonna be, or he says this she says that dealer convos, prices from everyone, etc.. If you notice.. My post is about getting a better price on a part that is now availble.. It's a group purchase.. So your comment not only wasnt needed.. It also doesn't even make sense to say..


So if you have nothing to contribute or nice to say.. Then I suggest your stop poking into thread you know your gonna make an idiotic post in.



*Back into topic*

Now that the kits are out in stock... I think we should seriously considering all doing one thing so we can get a decent prices.. For those of us who are ready to get the KIT ASAP..

You sure about that? I just got off the phone w/ Kevin at GM HQ. He is the GMPP manager. He said they are not yet realesed.

Also just got of the phone w/ Golden Mile in Scarborough. An OCC sponsor.Price is $1025.00 + tax and install. I think if we get 4-5 guys together that will drop a little.Maybe get them to eat the tax?

^
That MUST be Corby :)

Listen I'm in for any ideas you guys have. I have the Cash inhand and have every intention of purchasing it asap. Unless the install is gang rape then I think $1025 is a very good deal.

Please keep me updated...

:thumb: I thought you knew that was me.You and I are the same on both boards.........

:thumb: I thought you knew that was me.You and I are the same on both boards.........


Ok.. not sure.. That is the word that the kits are out and apprently some other people have put orders in. But again I cant be 100% sure either.. Now I think $1025 is a good deal as well.. I don't mind paying that..

The other problem is. I just called 2 different dealers around here.. They both told me the kit would kill the warrenty on the engine if the motor was to have internal problems.. Now I am not sayin the kit itself isn't under any kind of warrenty. But I was told that if any motorwise happens that they will not cover the warrenty..

Now Corby.. Since you know a manger for GMPP maybe you can find out the information a little better.

I placed an order for STG II whilst pickin up the catback and header from OMS, no questions asked other then "when would you like to have it installed?" My sales guy and service rep are pretty excited about it, I think thats pretty cool. :cool:

Guess I'll wait and see. :twothumbs

Install it at home= no warranty.
Install at the dealer= warranty

Install it at home= no warranty.
Install at the dealer= warranty


Are you 100% sure.. Cause I asked the guy about installing it at the dealer (I was going that route anywaz).. And he said no warrenty...

You understand my concern right?

Thanks man.It would have been done a couple shows ago,but i`m waiting for the tire sponsorship to come in. If not by the SCN show in Montreal on the 22nd,i`m just gonna buy a set.

Any of you guys going to SCN Monteal on April 22nd?

How do you score sponsorships?

How do you score sponsorships?

Alot of money,hard work, and commitment...........

Any news?

I def want in on this gb if the price is $1025, and I'll be covering my ass by purchasing it from gm still

GM Performance parts have no warranty, whoever told you they do is lying.

Hmmm,so the dealership, the assistant zone parts manager, his boss the zone parts manager, and the GMPP manager are all lying?

I`m glad you showed up to set all those guys straight,or I may have gotten screwed.

actually there are many dealerships that will retaain your warrenty if you get Them to install a GMPP, and that's what is most important. if the dealer ship will call it warrenty work then your ok, regardless of weather or not GM does.

which is why everyone tries to find a good dealer with service managers that don't mind mods

I sure as hell hope you're not reffering to Guy Fergusson, trust me performance parts have no warranty period, this has always been and always will be, it's even written in the performance catalog on the first page.

First page hey?.............hmmmmmmm.........(reading)...I can't seem to see that anywhere. It does state that the engines are covered by a full year warranty......(reading)..........nope.......nothin g like that on the numerous "first" pages I just read. ;)

I got prices for the stage kits from Fuccillo Chevrolet in Grand Island New York. These are list prices so if someone wants to go ahead and call them to work out a group buy you can go ahead.

Stage 1 = $500
Stage 2 = $750

Call them if you want. (716) 773-7505

I am going to buy Stage 1 today!

Not trying to help anymore :) Good luck

WOOHOO!Our sponsor over at the OCC, Golden Mile in Scarborough.Just ordered a stage 2 kit. Should be here Mon. He wants me to get a list together for a g/p for the next order he places..........

Price is $1025.00 + tax and install. May get it lower if I can.

Let me know what's up with it, but you are the closest and cheapest as of yet. When can we get these installed? I have the $$ and want it ASAP.

like I said.. If it's keep factory warrenty then I wil also get it.. Do you need 5 people.. Or can you order at anytime for that price.. Cause I would like to get it ASAP.. I will be paying cash or credit card (not sure yet)....

But if you can order it, then I will probably just get it as soon as I get a call back from GM about warrenty..

I will let you guys know when he has it in his hands.
We do not need 5 for that price.but if we get 5 i may be able to get them to knock it down a touch.
Add your name to the list and I will let him know how many to order. then you can call them amd scheduale install.

Now.. Do they have to install it or can I just pick it up and bring it to my dealer.. I'd much rather not have to be in Scarborough sititn around for a couple hours.. Unless they can do it pretty quick.. But if they will take credit card.. Then I wil be doing it ASAP, as long as my warrenty is still good...

Are you getting that first kit or shall I take it...

nope someone can take it.I`m working on a sponsorship for mine:twothumbs
I will let you know on here the second it comes in. I`ll give you the part managaers name and the phone #.

Nice...well keep us informed as to any more deals on a group install (I'd rather get it done closer to home, but for a lower rate i'd be interested)

Maybe we can have a BBQ meet there one day. Anyone that had purchased a kit can get it installed that day. I`ll talk to them and see if I can get get them to agree to a 2hr max install time/charge.

I posted a reply on the Ontario site, but saw a list here :)

I'd like to get the install there as well.

How cool would that be to have a BBQ meet while all our cars get the Stage upgrade :)
I never get that far west to any meets so this would be a perfect excuse!

The way i see it is if you are going to put anything into your car, thats not stock its your own personal risk. Trying to rely on warranty is almost like you are to scared to put mods into the car. You want more power you gotta risk it. Just my opinion. Still deciding whethere to get stage one or two. As soon as I know, ill let you guys know if im in. I got money on hand at any time, so thats not a problem. Another question though, anyone got any mods at all on their car that are conisdering purchasing the kits? or you guys going stock to kits?

My tech buddy looked on the service computer at the dealership and dealercost for the kit is 1075. How are you guys buying it for cheaper then dealer cost?

Is that at Markham and Eglinton?

Hmmm,so the dealership, the assistant zone parts manager, his boss the zone parts manager, and the GMPP manager are all lying?

I`m glad you showed up to set all those guys straight,or I may have gotten screwed.


I would say they are all lying, but then again I didnt hear the dealership, the assistant zone parts manager, his boss the zone parts manager, and the GMPP manager make these claims. Hard to say who is lying? What I can tell you is you do retain your warranty. that is the idea of GMPP. If and when stage 3 comes out that is a different story as it is to be for offroad use only (meaning not on the street, for competition only). I know as this was a concern to me when I bought my car and they were selling me extended warranty. I have BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE TO 100,000 K or 6 years! Yeah I wanted to know cause I knew I was getting a stage kit!

Let me know what's up with it, but you are the closest and cheapest as of yet. When can we get these installed? I have the $$ and want it ASAP.


I can get that price from a dealer that I just called up. you dont need a group buy. just shop a little more. I am from MB. I recieved pricing from 1475 to 1025...LOL most want 1265 which is I believe is list.

you know, for $1000 I'll send you a kit from the states. :lol:

I've been quoted $1265 almost everywhere. $1025 is a steal, unless I were to drive to the states but I'm a few hours from the border and for the time off work + Gas, this is a better deal.

Keep us updated

For sure will keep you updated. I want to make sure he has it on the parts counter before I go off saying its ready to go. I`m not here to jerk anyone around.When I have facts,I`ll post.I hate all the sepulation and rumors..............

Well let me know when it is in ASAP.. My number is $1025 I want that first kit that comes in hehe.. I will get it installed ASAP and hopefully get to a dyno..

By the time to bring the states kits over from the US.. You risk getting charged a nice amount of duty. Then shipping on top of that.. Then TAXES you may be chagred (well I mean all the stuff the shipping company charges you)

Or, If you drive over.. Then it's a day of work and the fuel cost.. I could do it when I am over in my truck.. But I mean. What dealer would have them in stock for when I go over.. And just pick it up rather then order it..

I think $1025 is a good deal.. And if we get more people maybe they can cme down more

there is a local canadian place looking to have stage kits available soon.... ;)

From the looks of it, their pricing is below $1000 for Stage 2 kits.

I'd rather stick with GM to make sure everything is on the up-and-up.
Thanks Corby, I'm not exactly in a rush, but am not sitting on my hands either. I won't do anything until you get back to us with whats happening.
Thanks for doing all the leg work! :twothumbs

I have a honest question, what is the duty for injectors sent across the border?
what about a pulley? what about a drive belt?
seriously...how much would it cost to have a kit sent across to you in 3 pieces..??

Just spoke w/ the dealership. The stage 2 kit is in transit.Should be in tomorrow. He is also going to order a second kit today. He is going to check w/ the "bigguy",but he thinks he can honour a 2 hr max time limit on install.(book says 90 min for install).There is a tech there w/ an SS/SC that he is going to try to scheduale to do each of these installs.
He also likes the meet/bbq/install day idea.

I`ll keep you updated.

Nice....sounds like you made my decision for me.
Thanks for all the work Corby!

That swhat i`m here for!:twothumbs

I`ll post the contact name and # when it comes in.

damn wish i already had the money lol ... i'm be so jealous when u guys get it lol

Well I got off the phone with GM head office.. They told me the kit is under warrenty.. but if you blow the motor.. Then that isn't under warrenty..

They also told me GM doesn't recommend using the kit..

Man GM doesn't make much sense..

That makes no sense.

The kit is under warranty, but if you sustain damage to the engine due to the kit, there is no warranty?? WTF? that kind the POINT of a warranty am I right?
And how can GM not recomend a GMPP (General Motors Performance Part)??

To many contradictions there, I'd better speak to my dealership and get them to put it in writing they will honour my warranty.

ummmm, stage 2

and thats not good considering they delayed the kit because they were blowing motors!!! lol

No

The parts are under warrenty.. So if they break or whatever then they are covered.. BUT if they ruin your engine then they will not replace you motor cause a performance part cause it.. Same idea as an alarm or lowering ur car. If you put an alarm in the car and u have wiring problems and they figure the alarm caused it.. They will not cover it under warrenty.

Well

I emailed a guy who made a post on here awhile back.. Selling the stages kits in the Durham Area.. So I just got a email back and it was someone from a dealership right here in Whitby.. Nurse Chevrolet... Well he told me list is $1264 and install is $400... He said price on parts are negoitable.. But.. not install..

He is also telling me the parts have a 3yr/60,000km warrenty.. I emailed him back to make sure he isn't just talking about only have warrenty on parts. I am checking to see if the motor were to blow if GM will still fix the motor despite there upgrade kit.. So if he says its good.. Then I also ask him if they will sign a letter saying they told me the car remains with its warrenty on the engine despite the stage kit

So when he get back to me I will let you know some more info.. Who knows if use Durham guys get enough people.. Maybe we can go through them since its more local.

This F-cking died fast eh?....Christ.


Well... Nurse is selling the kits for $1075 plus $400 for the install... So almost $1500.. I think he said plus taxes.. So over that...

They have done a couple installs there.. They are charging 4hrs to do the work.. As far as I can see tho.. The best way to go is with the company in the U.S and have it shipped.. Apprently with the duty and stuff.. It's still cheaper to go with them.. The company is CED right...

So I dunno.. It's gonne be about $750 cdn or something.. So thats $750 plus $400 for the install.. So your looking at about $1200 which is hella lot cheaper then going to the dealer.. So you save like $300

Sorry guys.Had some famliy shit come up,then I was w/out service for 3 days.

Here is the phone number you need at Golden Mile.
(416)759-4171
The guy you want to speak w/ is Dominic Colamartino(parts manager)

I ordered my stage 2 kit from Crate Engine depot. Tax cost me 57.22. Approximately $900 total CDN. Now time to find a good install price!

Any idea of price w/install+tax?

I will call and mention your name.

Should be around $1150.00 w/ tax.
As for install,He was going to talk w/ his boss and try to get a 2 hr max time charge for install.

Still thinking of having the bbq idea that would be kinda cool, even the ppl not getting it installed can meet up that would be awsome

^
Agreed...I live east of the GTA and will never have a better excuse to get out that way. I'd like to meet everyone here while we all get our cars worked on...how fun does that sound?

I will cetainly arrange it if there is enough interest.
I`ll need to know how many cars to tell them to move for us

Well I am really interested.. Expecially if we can get a 2hr max install.. But seriously how many cars can they do in one day..

In any case I have the money in hand

I would be in for sure - should I call and mention interest or wait for group?

I'll install the pulley and the injectors for a lot cheaper than that lol. I bought the puller and can do the injectors and SC in less than an hour. After that just go to the dealer or go before to get the reflash. PM me if interested:twothumbs

-if you have an automotive shop, you can buy stage 1 & 2 for $604 usd plus taxes/shipping/exchange.....

Well lets compile a list and get on with this.
What date seems to be the most likely?

Just spoke w/ Dom at Golden Mile.The Stage kits are still on back order. But he does have 3 on order and in the system.He will let me know the second they come in.

Almost forgot. He comfirmed there is a 1 year warranty on parts and labour. Also adding the kit will NOT void any other engine components should there be a failure.

Hope he can get enough kits :)

I am 20 mins from the border. I figure it will be worth my time and effort to pick up a stage 2 from Buffalo...however, no dealer here will comitt to a install cost.
Anyone buy a kit and have a different dealer install it ?
Also, If i buy the kit in Buffalo and have it installed there, would that mess my warranty?
thanks in advance

Just talked to Dominic - mentioned your name - he said he would give me a call when the kits come in :thumb:

Hey has any one seen any stage 1 dyno number's yet?

alrighty i ordered my stage 2 from crate engine depot....just a waiting game now...Its being delivered to buffalo as i live 20 mins from there.

PS

if anyone from southern ontario is interested i was thinking about picking up an extra kit or 2 and bringing them back with me when mine comes in....$1000 CAN taxes in with all the paperwork. I would deliver within those regions.

just a thought

Goo....whats the news?

Goo....whats the news?

If that question is for me.There still on backorder.Several peopel have called and been told the same thing.He will let me know when they come in.

It was more of a general Goo.... ;)
So should I call and order one? or just sit on my hands until they start to trickle in?

i hate waiting LOL

Just scheduled a stage 2 install for Saturday at Golden Mile.

Hey thats cool.
He called the other day to tell me he got 3 of them in.
