HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Hey all,

A bunch of Chumpcar guys (http://www.chumpcar.com) have gotten together and are working out a group deal with a local distributor for HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats. I thought I'd post here to see if anyone was planning on buying a helmet or seat for the race season.

If you are seriously interested, PM me your email address and I'll forward it along to the guy organizing the group buy - John, the Cheeseville regional coordinator for Chumpcar.

I'm not allowed to post exact details online... but more interest = more discount! We already have a bunch of people in line for this.

Do they have any idea when the Snell 2010 helmets are coming out? I need to buy an SA helmet but have been holding off because I'd like to get a 2010 certified helmet if possible.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Inquiring about this, I'll post up when I find out. I don't believe any current Auto helmets offered by HJC will be SNELL 2010. However, I know for the purposes of Chumpcar, SNELL SA 2005 helmets will still be good for at least 5 more years. I think most forms of racing are still accepting SNELL SA 2000 helmets.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Yeah, this is the last year that most everyone is accepting Snell 2000 helmets. As long as the prices are right I'm interested in a black AR-10.

I was also looking at getting a Corbeau FX1 Pro for my car, so it would be nice to see what this group buy has to offer. A deal on brackets/rails would be awesome, too.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

PM me your email address and I'll have details sent to you!

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Anyone else? I know there was some helmet talk earlier. Quality helmets are a must! so is SNELL rating!

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

We will be putting in our order ~March 22nd, so get on the list before then!

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

I'm looking forward to the new goodies. :)

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Me too! We're putting together a spreadsheet so people can enter what they want and see how many other people are interested. You can just use first name or screenname or something.

Edit: a link was just sent out for the spreadsheet.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

SA2010 helmets wont be available until October of this year.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Lot of people interested initially, and a TON of flakers. Oh well, guess it is expected. But we just need a few more people in for helmets to hit a benchmark. I won't say how much it is, but let me say it will be cheaper than you can get a HJC helmet anywhere... by a lot.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

I need a helmet for the track this year.

PM'ed my email for details, if the price is decent i am in.

How do i know helmet size? I have a big dome.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

There is a sizing chart on the HJC website. I am unable to link directly to it.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

1 more! if you want to know what % discount one more person gets you, then PM me and I will tell you :)

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

1 effing more!

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Did we get the 1 more? I should buy two and sell one to save money, lol.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

unfortunately, no. You should totally do it :)

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

As tempting as that is, i am slightly broke right now, not really but way down on funds from building my car already otherwise i would consider it. I am sure if i did i would end up making a decent amount of money since they are an awesome deal.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Has this offer been extended to any other local car sites like evomn.net or mnmazda.com or mnsubaru.com?

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

How much longer is this going on? My gf needs a helmet for my bike and it'd be nice to get a discount on a helmet.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

^It was supposed to end yesterday but maybe a few more days longer so you can get one:)

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Yesterday was the cutoff. Plus this was only for the Motorsports helmets, not the bike helmets.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

There is a difference in helmets?

I assume the ones from the group buy are good for drag/auto-x etc since you said motorsports.

Just making sure I am getting what i need for when i go to the track.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

So no more orders? I'm not talking bicycle helmets, motorcycle helmts.

Oh well, I guess I missed out.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

he knew what you meant... it was for motosports helmets only

murlo - what you are ordering is good for anything and everything :)

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

The motorsports helmets are SA-rated which is required for competitive road racing, karting, etc. where M-rated helmets (motorcycle) do not cut it.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

I believe the primary difference is that SA rated helmets are fire proof, and designed to withstand impact on a roll cage bar.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Pretty much.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

gaaaah, can't wait till my helmet gets here!

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Is there any news on this? I need my helmet for the strip.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

when I last talked to todd, the backordered helmets were still on schedule (5-6 weeks from when we ordered) So I think we are still 1-2 weeks out. You can call Todd to find out for sure.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Well if anyone is interested in a large helmet from this order, i still haven't received it yet (black one) but i would be willing to sell mine.

My motor blew up over the weekend, needs funds for fixing it or a new car.

Let me know via PM. I will make a true FS thread when i get it if no one messages me.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

For what it's worth, I picked up my seat last week and Todd said the helmets should still be here within a week or two.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

^Good news, now i just need to find someone to buy my helmet:)

Thanks Matt.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Hey Murlo, I dunno if you've heard from Todd, but you should be able to get a refund now, because shipping has been suuuper slow and we wont have our helmets in time for chumpcar. I might end up getting an Si-12 or a white one, haven't decided yet.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Yea, Todd emailed me yesterday and he is going to get me a refund. That will help out for sure for paying for my new motor.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Yeah, Todd emailed me too. I'm bummed, don't really want to spend more money just to get an Si-12. :( But that is the mac daddy of helmets.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

he's giving us a pretty amazing deal on them though... you gotta admit. Tempting!

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Yeah, it's just tough to swallow on top of $500+ for a full racing suit. But the more I think about it the more I see it as an investment in my safety. This isn't a demo derby where you can get by with a snowmobile helmet, flannel shirt and jeans.

Re: HJC Helmets and Corbeau seats group buy
 

Matt, are you doing Chumpcar? I was up there on monday for the performance driving school/open lapping. Our car was awesome.
