Well today went right as planned (and better) , we finished up 3 kits complete, and 80% of the other three. Some silicone couplers we ordered in (two months ago) are the incorrect size, and we need more aluminum u-bends for the last three kits to be ready. Those last three will be going out thursday or friday. I will be sending PM's to everyone to confirm shipping address and shipping amounts, so keep your eyes peeled!

I'm wondering, if I ordered a V-mount kit from you site how long would it take to get it? I have my project build coming up in about a month or so.

We will have to take at least a 2 week break after these are finished to catch up on the large car projects in the shop. Once another group buy starts I will just say 1-3 months to cover ourselves. This is a extremely busy time of year!

I know what you mean. I'm towards the end of my build. I never expected to wait so long for completion. The more and more it got dragged out the more things I've added and changed.
I'd say just go for it. In the end it may just work it's way to being the right time. 

Yeah, if track season wasn't around and my turbo wasn't leaking I'd probably just wait. I'm hoping to get back up in about 2 months. Hopefully I can get this before mid september.

I can't seem to edit my last post but please add me to the next group buy. I'll try to wait it out, hopefully it won't take the full 3 months.

Pm sent to the guys who have not received our v-mount yet. I know its a very very angry day for all of us. Will be posting a update once I get a word back, and sending PM's.

To the new group buy interest- On our side it only takes 1-3 weeks to build 5 v-mounts with the work load at the shop. Issue seems to be supplier of the intercoolers, and the koyo radiators constantly being on backorder. Last group buy we waited over 1 month to get the intercoolers, and now I found 4 of the 6 are the wrong size.

So, make a list of people for the new group buy and the moment 5 are on board we will verify from the distributers that the rads, and intercoolers are ACTUALLY available (they sugar coated it last time). We wont accept 1 penny until we see physical proof of in-stock items. IF all goes well, then we can get the next group buy finished in 4-6 weeks no problem.

I believe there already are 5 people for the next GB, if not more. =)

Is it possible for you guys to use a Fluidyne radiator rather than a Koyo?

Obviously the increase of the price will be paid. Thanks.
