So what's the deal with the last kit ? Is it up or grabs?

Dzel 11-27-2012 09:51 AM

I held one for you a while back, when you said that you will send deposit...but I never heard back, so it is gone. The last kit is spoken for at the moment.

Not too bad, thanks. Not much improvement, and the doctor said (after calling me yesterday morning) that this may be something that I have to deal with for a month or so....it sucks, but as long as it does get better in the end, I will be happy.

I am still able to get some work done, and hope to start the IC piping some time next week. All the exhaust pipes should be done by Sunday night of this week. Down pipes are all done, the Y-sections are all done, and the recirc tubes are all done. The manifolds are about 75% done, as I had to come up with a different welding procedure for these due to such tight tolerances. The metal shrinks after welding/cooling, so it has to be done in stages. No big deal...just more work. The new method works, and works very well. Fitment in the jig is great and within 1mm of spec.


So, I can still work, just not at the pace that I am used to and still hope to start packing things up mid next month.

1mm spec... Awesome.


Sasha, take your time. Let your body heal, you're in this for the long term.

No I know , in pretty sure I said I wanted a kit from your second batch of 6 that you said will be ready in the spring.

Once these are all out, I will start taking deposits on the next 6 kits. Hope to start with this some time in January, so keep this in mind for the tax return season...:)

Yea I want one from this batch :D

If the last kit does not go through, there are two people ahead of you now that would like to get it.

Looks like you will have to wait till April/May for your kit....sorry.

blackonorange 11-27-2012 05:26 PM

Lol that's what I planned, just bad communication on my part, also what size is the od of the intercooler piping?

VSS370z 11-27-2012 06:11 PM

I am still pulling my hair for not been able to grab one of those first 6 kits! Damn!

It's ok...there will be more.

blackonorange 11-27-2012 10:06 PM

mattjk 11-27-2012 10:44 PM

If thats the case, then maybe I'll snatch up a kit in the spring :happydance: I must have missed some posts cause i was unaware of the the base tune you would be sending out with it! As amazing as the rest of the kit is, I can only assume the tune you would be sending out with it would be amazing also with no worries.

I know waiting 3-4 years otherwise would be long but a blown motor or issues later on down the road purely due to a poor tune would make the turbo a regret rather then a joy!

Made some progress today:

I am still not making progress as far as getting better, but I am pushing through it. Still need to weld the V-band flanges on the down pipes, and some more welding on the the manifolds, but things are coming together.

I will start working on the IC pipes tomorrow.
