bwahahahahahahahah..........bwahahahahahahahaahaha


sorry, i can't stop lauging. We were all told that we would have ours b4 xmas.....guranteed !!

I think 2 ppl have gotten their's so far and that was last wk. I'm not sweating it though, it is well worth the wait and i will definitely be buying the fuel rail when SF has them available.

Honestly, well worth the wait......they are custom built kits.....u can't put a time on custom things.

You have to add tax to it. Then shipping is $90. But if you come down to get it, shipping is obviously not needed.

After we get the payment, it takes 4-8 weeks before it gets sent out.

so ? ..........We were all promised to have our kits by xmas and guess what........no kits. Now they did have problems with a company not sending them the turbos and they had their shop broken into a few times and they had to move to another shop. All, i am saying is, don't get all pissy when ur turbo isn't shipped when promised.

hahaha ya, after i get the money for the kit and stuff i can save up and buy a boost controller and my gauges and probably coilovers before i get my kit, if it takes super long ill have my rims by then too, which wouldnt be too bad install everything at once and go from almost stock to modded out

There is a lot of stuff that happened during that time frame that was out of my control. You guys know of most of what happened.

and my goal is a fabrication time of 2 weeks. With our new shop, and another few employees, i do not see that to be a problem.

IMO

1. Build your own kit(much less time, much less money, I spent about 2k)
2. Install it yourself/with friends (anytime anything goes wrong you will know what it is, the
best drivers know their cars intimately)
3. Spend the extra (+-)$1500 on rims or suspension mods, not to mention the extra money
you saved to have someone do all of the install work

not everyone has the resources to build their own kit and i some ppl that have done it and it cost them more than buying a kit.

this thread is locked.... you guys need to understand that things happen and a lot of this stuff wasn't their fault.... as soon as they get everything clear and staightend out, all kits should go out as planned.. until then just wait a lil bit longer, mike has always come through....
