This has come down to a matter of money.
We couldn't get the mold funded very easily up until now; estimate of the mold is close to $1,000US!
I've got money coming in soon that should take care of this, and I *PROMISE* it will be paid for by the end of this year.
This is something I've always wanted to develop, so it's a personal goal of mine.
If hIGGI can handle the production, it SHOULD be ready for sale by the end of 2005!

No, the S4 has a different bolt pattern than the S5. Go look at the Mazdatrix page for pictures of them both. Some people swap out the entire water pump housing from an S4, but that may interfere with the S5 OMP, IIRC.
