GB: Spirit-R Key!
 

This is a GB for the SUPER-RARE Spirit-R Key, pictured below. This key has LONG since been discontinued, so I will be reproducing this key from scratch, using an original I have. The final version will be of as high (or higher) quality than OEM. Keys will be available in red OR black.

Final Production:

https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1252614124

Payment info:

Payment address: Payments@FDNewbieImports.com

Key Costs:
- Basic key (red or black) in mild steel (same as OEM): $31.40/key
- Upgraded key (red or black) in BRASS with a chrome coating. These keys are of superior quality and are more durable, and exceed OEM specifications: $35.55.
- If you have already purchased a basic key and would simply like to upgrade to a brass key, please send an additional $4.15

UPGRADES: ***To be paid AT A LATER DATE***
- VIN cutting keys will be $8.30
- There will be a minor shipping charge as well, to be determined by the exact cost of shipping all the keys back to me once they are ready.

GROUP BUY IS CLOSED. PLEASE EMAIL ME AT INFO@FDNEWBIEIMPORTS.COM TO BE CONSIDERED FOR LATE ADDITIONS (and put "Spirit-R Key" in the subject line)

Thanks,

payment just sent :D

Hey where is a pic?

Rich, this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I uploaded the pic. I know 10000% percent that I DID indeed upload it because:

- I'm not retarded; a GB thread w/o pics is useless
- I distinctly REMEMBER uploading the pic
- Other members saw the pic in this NEW THIRD thread (after 2 others have been deleted)
- When I went to edit the original post just now after RE-uploading the image, guess what I found? The original link to the image. Which is PROOF that I uploaded it.

So what's this mean? Somehow, someone deleted my uploaded file. If you don't smell something fishy, it must be cuz your sinuses are clogged lol.

Anyway, pic's up. Deadline's almost here. Get in while you can.

~Ramy

PS: Been gettin SLAMMED these past few weeks; will still verify all payments and double check everything and update you guys ASAP.

PM'd you Ramy. FYI - I also already paid for one Black and one Red key.

RAMY, WTF??? will you PLEASE acknowledge the fact that I sent a second payment for a THIRD key (2 black, 1 red)!

I paid for sure....
 

Ramy,
I don't know why I keep on disappearing off the list.

Unique Transaction ID #8S0682844J5322049
This was for one red key and one black key.

However, I would like to get in for another red one if possible.

Please let me know.

Thanks!
Jon

Relax guys; goin through the payments, and will post up final payment info. The ball is already rolling on getting these keys goin though.

Thanks,

Is it too late to join in on this?

Is there an update, is the GB closed?

+1

UPDATES:

1) Key production is already underway
2) The list below is as up-to-date as my current records. Sorry if some of the information is being asked again; what was lost in the previous thread that was deleted is...lost. So I gotta have us all (myself included) jump through these hoops one last time...
3) I'm gonna warn you guys now. The cost of the material right now is a bit more than I was previously quoted months ago when we began. Since we have so many purchases, this will inevitably result in a SLIGHT surcharge per person (prob. around $5/key). I'm very sorry about this, but it's out of my control. I'm already paying out of pocket because of this. This is the problem w/ doing business in real time in this global market =-/ I hope you guys understand. I will NOT be collecting this cost now; I'll just deal w/ it when it comes time to collect shipping costs.
4) The GOOD news that came out of this is that I can offer TWO different material for the actual metal part of the key to you guys.
- The default key will be made of mild steel. This is your average run-of-the-mill key.
- The key is ALSO available in brass with a chrome coating, for about $4 more/key. Brass with chrome coating is more $$, but the key will be of superior quality. Just throwing it out there ;-)

Thank you for posting my correct amount of keys (3) that I paid for Ramy!

Hey Rami,

Make my two keys the brass with chrome coating. Let me know the costs.

Thanks.

jdmrxluver #92X199910F714983M (color?) Red I would like mine also in brass w/ chrome. When should i pay? Now or when it's done?

I'm not trying to be ignorant but since it took so long to get the ball rolling on these keys Ramy, don't you think you should look after the difference in material cost? I just think that would be fair, coming from a person who also runs a business, thanks.

dear mr Ramy heres a copy of my payment....

Hi Ramy,

Mine is 2x Red. regular please. it says on your first post of this thread :P

thank you

hummm man i havent been here to look at any updates in a while

Put me down for an extra red key!

And I'll take all three of mine as the brass key with the chrome coating.

Maybe I'm doing my math wrong here...
RZ Seats $2850
+Spirit R Key - $31.40
----------------------------
=$2881.40

Amount sent 2/28/09 = $2881.40

Am I still missing something?....

Oh yes I am! The $30 FedEx customs fee that you owe me! You all see when Ramy sold me the RZ seats he failed to ever mention that he would be shipping from overseas OR that I would need to cover the customs fees.

Fortunately there is an easy way for you to make this situation right.

I'd like the brass/chrome key, VIN cut, and shipped to me for no additional charges sometime before 2010. Or you can refund my $31.40 (which would take $32.65 to cover PP fees) and I'll forget your epic failure of communication ever happened.

Thanks!

1. Sounds like this GB is still available since I do not see anything about shipping yet.
2. Is there an all in price - I would like to take care of it all up front (brass w/chrome in red).

It sounds like these keys will be much stronger than the OEM ones or 'normal' blanks. All of mine seem to bend too easily!

R U KIDDING!

Sorry bout that, Red

Ramy,
I need to be taking off your unpaid list cause you already have my transaction ID posted on the paid list.

thanks

So how much longer is this GB going to be dragged on for???

a couple more years duhhhh :p

Ramy - Any update as to when we can expect these keys to start shipping?

We're making the keys as we speak. Please be patient; this isn't an easy over-night process. This involves CAD design/tooling, which is time consuming. Once the key is 100% completes and ready for mass production, it'll be a matter of days between knockin out the # of copies we'll need and gettin 'em over to everyone. So plz bear w/ me. I know this GB's taken forever and a day, but a lot of it wasn't in my hands - such as having the thread deleted multiple times.

I'm also struggling w/ ways to minimize costs, b/c the cost of everything went up since we first started the GB and began accepting payments, leaving me to fit the bill.

I'll be updating the payment info list shortly as well.

Thanks,
~Ramy

Thanks for the update Ramy, glad to see it's moving along.

I would LOVE to see this finally wrapped up soon....

Thanks Ramy! Looking forward to getting them in the mail!

2 week bump, any updates.

no

Any updates? I sent you another PM over a few weeks ago and still no response as to the return of my original....

OK RAMY..... An update is neccessary and more important than that is you getting me my damn key back...

God bless you Saint oo7arkman

?

This group buy is a disaster.

yeap
