Phunk, you mentioned earlier trying ot get the price point down a bit if possible. It's not obscenely high right now BUT if you can get close to around an $800 mark, I don't think we would be able to resist picking this up sooner rather than later.

Sorry since I am sure this has all been gone over in this thread, but I don't want to read through 34 pages of posts. Did a first batch ever make it out and how much was it? Are there more batches in the works and how tricky of an install is it?

The first batch sold out. I got one of them. Phunk said he would make more if there is enough interest.

How much did they end up selling for and how difficult/easy was install?

around $1000. I think pretty much all of us did the install ourselves. There were a couple steps which are a little tight and can be frustrating, but the instructions are really good.

He's not a major manufacturer and its the only off the shelf solution out there. Are you really worried about the deposit. I'm sure he doesn't want to get hit with the cost of making it when someone backs out after ordering. He's not going to rip anyone off, he has been in the z community a long time

Charles is the man when it come to VQ fuel systems. He checks his emails daily and will do what he can for good customers. I'm currently working with him to get a fuel return kit.

When I installed mine. I had a few questions, and we texted back and forth for about 3 hrs. He's a stand up guy. Something you don't see too often.

+1 on that, CJM has been great to work with.

Travis, can you elaborate on the "hose rated for in-tank usage" thing? I'm not about to tear back into mine to look, but I assume you mean the blue hose that you cut several runs of to go back and forth with.

That probably just means it never went through the test cycle for it.

My thought on it was that if it can tolerate the fuel inside of it, it's going to be fine with fuel on the outside as well, assuming the inside and outside are the same material.
