BULK BUY - Mike Rainbird ACT Guages

Hi Guys,

If you've never seen these before, these are charge temp guages, LCD displays with a blue background.
have a looks here:-

I've emailed Mike to ask if we can get a discount on them, he said if more than 5 order, we can get them for Â£46 with free delivery.
This is the email i got off him

Hi Steve,
Normally the blue ones are Â£48.50 each (delivered). If you ordered five or more, then I could do these for Â£46.00 each and the delivery would be free.

Not a considerable saving, but the costs of these have been already pared to the bone and they are very labour intensive to make AND come with a lifetime manufacturing defects warranty.

Hope this helps.
Best regards
Mike Rainbird
R&B Motorsport

If anyone wants to get one, let e know on here, and i'm sure we can work something out

how feckin much..........

i remember when they wer Â£30, shows what a bit of good reputation done and the price rockets.

you can buy similar from maplins for a hell of a lot less.

if they were Â£30 i'd maybe splash out, but not exactly much discount for a group buy is it ?

i know what you mean G, i really can't see myself spending full whack on them, but i emailed to see if he would knock off some money for it.

you thought it was expensive the other night when i told you they were Â£48

considering that you can get the turbodisplay system for Â£139 that does ACT, boost, water injection trigger and you thought that was a ripoff, add them up and it looks even more of a good price all the time

i'll get my RS cd out this evening, as they also do a suitable setup for mucho less money

anyway, i'm just p1ssed as i've had two guages and they both broke on me, lol and i hate discounts that are less than 10%, feels like a slap in the face

They are logger though as they can't cope with the vibrations of a car.

They are good until you put your thumb through it trying to get it out...

Their reputation is the reason I bought one

I'm sure they could be made for cheaper, but then again - would they take the in car environment. These things are usually designed to sit monitoring fish tanks afterall
