From what I've seen I wouldn't count on it.

Lol, no no no... :P

I'm sure if I had seen it, or even called Toronto to talk to them, I'd believe it was right around the corner..

What I meant was, from what I've seen of their delays, the chances of them announcing the big release in *checks watch* the next hour are slim to none.

It's like Doom 3, it will be here "when it's ready"... unfortunately, every time they think it's going to be "ready" they have to push it back for some reason or other.

I just saw three arleady installed about 2 days ago at CP racing, man, it looks so good, and the smallest little touch will move the stearing wheel. Don't worry guys, its comming, and it looks amazing. I still can't believe that they did such a professional looking job of it

I'm pretty anxious for this because unlike most of the people here, driving to Toronto is actually a possibility for me. Hell, I'm probably gonna get CP to do my rebuild and porting if the engine doesn't blow before I save the money.....

All I was sayin' is that I'm not holding my breath just yet... When there are pictures, prices and an order form setup on a website, THEN I'll be excited.

Everyone remembers the pinto and the lawsuits. Well I'm sure the kit is coming (when all reasearch and tesing is done ) and when launching any product you must get all of your ducks in a row before you offer it to the general public. So bottom line, they must be developing one nice product since they are taking there time and doing it right unlike the pinto.

I'm desperately waiting for it too, my steering is as loose as a siagon hooker.

LOL! Nice description of the problem!

My SE is pretty low miles and it's in fine shape... except for the steering. It holds a straight line perfectly, but I'll bet there's an inch of play in the wheel in both directions.

Hey J,

When you get some pics of the kit, you should mount one as your Avatar It sure would be better than the stock one :P

three installs, the prototype, mfg problems and no one has managed to post one damn pic yet? Something is plain wrong here and unless you can drive to the shop, I suggest you wait until someone of good repute in this Forum has bought and installed this alleged "product" and posted some pics of the actual beast....starting to sound like the Loch Ontario Monster to me....

I think someone brought up a good point regarding legal issues. I've worked around law for almost 15 years. I suspect the liability issues are immense, especially when you're talking about something that's as prone to catastrophic failure as steering.
