I'm sure you're all familiar with the Gruppe M Carbon intake for the MKV?
Well, it's an awesome bit of kit but comes with a not so awesome price tag. Fair to say at £650, it's a dear do.
Gruppe M also do a kit for the EP3 Civic Type R with a similarly astronomical price. There is loads of interest for them on the Type R forum and when a second hand one comes up for sale, it's gone in about 2 seconds as no one will buy a brand new one.
A small company in Staffordshire called Tegiwa saw a gap in the market and made their own improved version of the Gruppe M air intake for less than half the price. A batch is made every month and they are gone within days of being up for sale as they are an extremely well made decent intake. I had one on my Type R and loved it. Sounded like the devil and made noticable gains.
I've been looking at induction kits for my R and really want a Gruppe M but am no way going to pay £650 for one!
So I have spoken to Luke at Tegiwa who is happy to produce their version of the Gruppe M for the MKV so long as I can organise a group buy for 25 units. Once this initial interest has been gained he will continue to stock the item. It will cost £300 to £350.
If this all goes ahead, development and production will take 2 months and then we can all be happy owners of the coolest kit ever! :laugh:
So....who's interested? :five:
Edit: He said he will do this for the MKIV as well but as they are different intakes he'll need another 25 MKIV owners to sign up.
