So to clarify. I will need to get the FC front hubs? I'm also assuming I will need the FC bearings as well? Or can I use the se bearings? Just wondering so I can go ahead an start gathering new parts....

Yes you need the hubs and inner bearing from the fc platform ... you will use your fb outer bearing ...

Cool thanks!!! Just want to make sure I get the right parts the first time.

myfree7 07-08-14 10:11 PM

It's getting close!..... Can't wait to get this kit finally.

Just got off the phone with the machine shop. I'll be getting part of the order next week. I'll take some picture and post them when I get my hands on them.

I want to thank everyone for be patient. I know my machine shop is not the fastest but I promise I'll deliver. This is to important for everyone.

myfree7 07-09-14 10:41 AM

No problem man! Without your doing we wouldn't be getting these so thank you!!!!

I recognize I am too late to get in the first run, however, I am interested in a full kit when the time comes for the next batch. I will keep $425 saved to be ready whenever this happens. Thank you so much to KansasCityREPU for taking the time to do this and I look forward to another round!

Called the machine shop guy today. They are running the parts and will be doing the welding this weekend and powder coating next week.

KansasCityREPU 07-24-14 03:57 PM

Got a picture of the first parts off the line. These are the rear caliper brackets. These are in red because they are for testing and fitment. All the production parts will be in black.

I tried to nail the machine shop down on when I would have all the parts but I'm just a little guy as far as they are concerned. I'm hoping for next week.

I ordered a couple of extra kits. Once I get everyone taken care of, if I have any left I can let you know. Your number two on my wait list. If I have enough interest in a second run I'll let you know. I barley had enough for the first run. I would need at least 8 complete kit orders (front and back) to make a second run. This is because the machine shop needs to make enough parts to cover cost.

Hey I just need the rear caliper bracket is this still possible

KansasCityREPU 08-06-14 11:06 AM

I spoke with the machine shop today. They are saying the front should be done next Friday 8/15 and the rear 8/22.

On a side note, how many people would be interested in a strut tower brace? Next time I'm at the machine shop I'll be dropping mine off to have measured drawings made up.

I don't believe i will need my rear brackets. I ordered a rear kit for the e-brake pieces ... I am buying a granny 8.8 rear which I believe will come with t2 brackets. I haven't gotten it yet, I'll verify once i get it and If so, you can have my rear brackets.

Sounds good, I am in no hurry. :)

While you are fabbing things up, how about an R&P kit for the FB. I was hoping for the Respeed kit, but we all know how that went.

I wish I could do a R&P. I had a brand new one and sold it before I could have the machine shop make the drawings.

If anyone has a RE-Speed R&P and wants to send it to me I'll make it worth your while.

Kameron13 08-06-14 01:01 PM

I'll keep my fingers crossed that some generous FB owner out there is willing and able to have his R&P kit cloned. :)

estevan62274 08-06-14 01:09 PM

+1!

Diver22 08-06-14 04:33 PM

We'll let me know if you have any extras, I need the fronts for sure, I can go either way on the rears.

myfree7 08-06-14 05:46 PM

Id do a strut tower brace.

doogy2 08-06-14 08:26 PM

Thanks echo let me know for the rack kit I'm going to work on one very soon. As soon as I get some free time but it's going were the curent steering shaft are

doogy2 08-06-14 08:27 PM

For the brace I would need just the parts that get joined to the struts cuse I would have to do some modifying to it to clear intercooler pipes

echo412 08-13-14 11:18 AM

They are saying the front should be done this Friday 8/15 and the rear 8/22. I'm going to call them tomorrow to help push them along.

Sorry it's taking so long. I've been scared at trying to push them to much. Their a pretty big shop here and they could have told me to hit the bricks. If I do another run I might front the funds myself and worry about getting paid when I sell them.

Ok no worries. Thanks for the update.
