Funny thing though, if J_Oliver never made this thing, there would be NO rack and pinion kit.

As Chief Wiggum once said:

"Ralphy just relax and it will come"

Yes, I realize all that, but seeing as hes decided to make it a business venture by teaming up with CP (which I applaude him for by the way) he does have some responsibility to deliver what he promised. Granted none of us have spent a penny, so technically were not "owed" a damn thing, but it would still be nice to get some update other than "Don't worry guys, its coming." Just a little update and a more firm release date is all I ask.

OMG Don't you think that he'll tell us when it's ready? Doesn't seem like very good buisness sense to hide his completed kit..... I'm starting to grow weary of all these posts asking him about it.

Funny thing is "I" personally installed my kit on Pats car today and he was taking it to the alignment shop tonite.
The kit is finished and ready for sale. It is being sold via CP's website so as soon as CP posts the site you can buy. Chris will let me know as soon as the site is complete, I was told within a day or so.

Pretty exciting stuff if I do say so myself.

Oh ya the reason for me installing the kit by myself was to use the instruction manual step by step to prove to myself how comprehensive it is to use and go figure it makes complete sense.
Thanx 4waitin.

CP doesn't have a website address.. yet.. Well actually, I'm sure they've bought the address and the space, but it's not accessible yet. As soon as it is though, I'm sure we'll see a post of the address.. I just hope their servers can handle the influx of customers, and their shops can handle the influx of orders!

Gentlemen, start your credit car(d)s

... I know, I know... as Axl Rose once said, "Patience"... does anybody in the know have the weekly update on this? This is like having Mary Jane in the back seat, but you can't get her bra unhooked...

Hey guys the delay is caused by a personal "Snag" if you will. I'm very sorry but life does'nt seen to care that I'm trying to launch a product or two. Anyway it wont be much longer than 5 days or so. Everything is fine and all will be good once its on everyones car I truly know all will LOVE this setup. Hey, Pat loves it and if It can make him happy it will surely make you happy too!
