£706.29 (in standard alloy finish) from JKM, cheaper than ebay and direct from Forge  :shocked: Do you know of anywhere cheaper?

I got a 'show deal' at last year's GTI International - £600 inc VAT for the cooler, hoses and other gubbins, and another £20 for spraying black.  Maybe speak to Forge directly - either Russell or John, and ask them if they can do a deal.  Butter them up saying how good their kit is, and how you know of others who got it for 600 notes . . . . and £700 is just too much, I might have to get the cheaper APR one . . .  :wink:

Got nothing to loose, and Forge generally are extremely helpful - and the quality of their products are arguably the best you can get.

BTW, what is the current web price direct from Forge?

Going to to have some phone calls next week to see who can do me a good deal.

Cheers Guys!!!

That forge discount is a joke as awesome's normal price matches the twintercooler's discounted price.

I'd hardly say that the Forge discount is a 'joke'!  :rolleyes:

Perhaps you need to consider the 'partnerships' which exist between manufacturers of such bits, and their appointed stockists/workshops.  If Forge were to routinely offer the part for a much cheaper price than their authorised stockists can sell it for, then Forge will just be shooting themselves in the foot - because Awesome might be tempted to say 'fcuk it - Forge are always undercutting our prices, we might as well finish with Forge, and start selling someone elses intercooler', or words to that effect.  :wink:

But the above shouldn't affect one-off 'show specials' prices, or maybe a negociated a one-off extra discount which isn't published on any website.  Which is why I suggested giving Forge a ring.  :wink: :afro:
