Hey guys,
Sorry for the short hiatus. Wasn't really a break; I was in the process of moving/relocating (https://www.rx7club.com/fdnewbie-imports-172/fdnewbie-imports-now-new-location-848955/#post9324044). But we've been hard at work finishing the keys throughout this time.
This project is a bit more complex than was anticipated, hence the delays.
- We needed two types of tooling, one for plastic molding, and another for the metal part of the key. The tooling proved to be a VERY time consuming process.
- Today, the cutting die for the metal side was completed
- We're currently working on the back plastic side tooling.
- Once the tooling is complete, we can manufacture the keys in few days time.
I'll be sure to updated you guys soon once the tooling process is complete.
Thanks,
~Ramy

UPDATE!!!
So the keys are FINISHED! I thought I'd post up some pics of the keys. Middle (the dark, old used) key is the original. The other 2 are the new ones we just made. I'm going to grab the 2 sample keys (one of 'em is goin to you oo7arkman), will do some final quality control testing, then get the key orders crankin out!
As for "Rapidly approaching another month with no updates...," as I mentioned time & time again, I post up info/updates as soon as they're available. Not sure what you want me to post up when there are no worthwhile developments to share...
Thanks,

I am sorry if I come off too upset. But I am extremely disappointed with how this whole group by has gone. I think that you personally are an honest, good and probably quite enjoyable to be around. However, your business practices need a very objective scrutinizing. This is a good example of how not to handle transactions in the future. I am sure you have lots of good ones as well, but it is the difficult and bad ones that will help separate good from bad businesses.
I am really just glad this is finally coming to an end. Please also include my original with the other key, it should no longer be needed since you have an extra copy.

Exactly, especially during a group buy that has been such a major disaster. Just a simple post like the last few is all that is really necessary and it is certainly not too much to ask. "Hey guys I know it has been a week (or two) but we are still trying to get the first ones knocked out, we ran into problems again" is nothing but a courtesy to your customers. I am really not sure why you have not figured this out. It is not that complicated of a business practice especially when you do not answer pm's or emails very regularly. In cases such as this one there are no meaningless updates.
