This Group Buy EOI has been approved by Russell W.
Hello Everyone, I am looking at doing a Group Buy of the ACRON Style CAI's (Cold Air Induction) for the AU's (Will fit all series) So I am putting out an expression of interest to see how many people might be interested in getting one. These are no longer available from Acron however I have been able to source them in a FibreGlass version which is better then the plastic Acron ones as they insulate from the engine bay heat better. The Acron CAI's were around $280 plus postage. As a deal for AFF, if I can get an order for a minimum of 10 of them then they will be $200 plus $20.00 postage so a Total of $220.00 each. They are a very good quality CAI in a smooth gloss black finish ready to either be painted to suit your car or left in the black, are a perfect fit and come with all screws ready for fitting. Below are some pics of the CAI for you to see and I will start a list under the photos. Please add your name to the list below OR indicate on here that you would like one and I can add your name for you. This is the CAI for you to see I am looking at placing the order in 2 weeks from now (unless we get enough to order sooner) and delivery will be within 4 days of ordering and will be sent out registered post buy the company. Money will need to be paid in full on these by Monday 24th November or else your CAI will not be posted to you, and as per the conditions of Group Buy's all money will be paid in to AFF's group Buy account and AFF will pay the supplier. Names List 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. This are a great price so jump on board if your interested Regards Ray

Yep will need a k&n 'style filter (doesn't have to be k&n brand) and the adapter to attach to, more be incorporates the MAF as well but doesn't have to, you can still use your MAF and adapt from that

Hello all,
We're on track hopefully to get at least 10 names. I've spoken to the supplier and he's indicated that if we get more then 10 orders then he will do them for $200 delivered (so free postage within Australia, if you're in New Zealand postage is $45 if under 10 or under ordered or $25 if over 10 ordered) All money must be paid by time of order and we'll know by then how many in total we'll have. As mentioned at the start of the thread all money will be paid to AFF's group buy account and they will forward to the supplier. This can be done by one of the two following options Bank Account details below: Direct Deposit to the AFF Bank A/C - BSB: 013-354 Account: 497467086 Name: Fordforums Australia Inc. Please include user name as a reference. Or via PayPal to admin@fordforums.com.au with the user name included as a reference. Anyone not paid in full by time of ordering will not have their CAI ordered. Please feel free to ask any questions Regards Ray

Will it need a longer pipe from the MAF to the CAI on a standard car? It looks from the photos you have a modified intake. Your piping appears to extend further towards the front of the car than the standard airbox would.
Just wanting to find out if any extra modification is required for fitment on a standard car (5.0L).

Hi Ken,
If you want to run it the same as mine then yes you will need to get a small 'adapter' section from somewhere like cheap as chips Regards Ray
