That's why it wasn't during Christmas.
It was actually before Thanksgiving, as
Everybody paid before Thanksgiving.

If we had waited till now, then
the people on the list would have blown
the money on something else.

The link to the Group Buy Website is still open, so I am
pretty sure you can still get in on the deal.

Wanted to update you guys. We are slightly behind with the build but not to far off. I believe we are looking at 1 more week so the original Dec 27th-30th looks more like Jan 3rd -6th.

I also got the rack and some knuckles, or was that addressed to Billy?

I'm probably a little late in asking this, but would one still be allowed to run in the CSP class in Autocross with the new rack and pinion steering setup? Does anyone know?

Unfortunately you cannot run in CSP with the RE speed rack. Consider another class and just have fun!

Update for you guys.

All the kits are fabricated and powder coated. They are about 95% boxed for shipment. I am waiting on some parts from my machinist to complete the orders. Should be this week for shipment of all kits.

I unfortunately under estimated a build of this size so close to the end of the year. Seems all my suppliers were low on inventory, raw materials and this produced delays.

Rest assured I am on top of it and will ship them out ASAP.

Thanks again Billy,

Great kit, great quality and great instructions. Unit went in without a hic-up.

For the rest of you (and Billy if he has some insight) I have a favor to ask. In the instructions it asks to measure from the drivers side frame rail to the engine mount bolt. In my case this was 26cm. When new subframe was installed, everything lined up perfecly at that dimension. So what's the problem you may ask......well no problem just an observation. When looking into the engine compartment it looks as though the engine is angled toward the driver's side. The only reason this had me thinking was that despite new engine/trans mounts, driveshaft and suspension this car has always had a vibration at higher speeds. Though nothing is evident, maybe this car has been in an accident. So my question to you all is what was your dimension?

Thanks for your time,
John

The engine does not sit perfectly centered with the car.
