Because he doesn't have one yet to make the mold from... Kinda need a mold to be able to make the parts.



PM "HedgeHog", that's his car.

 

Old 3-piece Racing Hart C2s. They've been out of production for about 5 years or so.

 

I thought Treceb sent his in

 

The only thing that has been said is:

Nothing as of yet as to actually having one and when/if a mold will be ready (or an estimated price either), from "shineautoproject" that is. I suppose that statement could mean many things, but to me that means he doesn't yet have one and is trying to make a deal to get one for the mold.

 

I thought I read he was doing it for $300 + shipping.

 

What he said was:


So, without even seeing it he was just throwing out a price to see who would be interested. What if he finally sees it and the price needs to be higher to cover his costs? IMO, it's not a real estimate until he's actually seen it.

My wife had her landscaping project estimated at $12k about a month ago. Now the contract has come back to me to sign and the cost is about $25k. So, I'm a little hesitant at "estimates" when people haven't even seen what they are estimating.

The final price may be $300, or it might be more or it might be less. However, he still hasn't posted that he has the part or has even seen one aside from the pictures here on the forum.

 

same here....I might be wanting one of these.

 

Someone please send thiers in

Just add your name.

 

Unfortunately, I've wrecked my FD and will have to drop out of this group buy. I've got a $500 deductible that I''ve got to pay. I'll remove my name from my list and move everyone one spot up:

ok so let me get this right, now the only problem is that shine cant get one to make a mold correct? and estimated price is about $300 - $400? if so i think i might have a plan.

the plan:
1. they have them for sale online for about $700 (the cheapest i can find so far).
2. eveyone drop a non refundable deposit (for example lets say 14 ppl x $50=$700) to shine to show some good faith.
3 have shine buy it and make a mold.
4. deposits goes towards purchase price, everyone gets diffuser!

i for one is ready to drop a deposit! good or not or am i missing something else?

 

That sounds like a great idea if he can gaurantee the price to stay between 3-400, preferably 300. I'm down for a deposit to purchase the diffuser if that is the hold up.

as long as by non-refundable you mean I'd pay $250 instead of $300 for it once theyre made

Can we get someone from Shine to chime in on this before you start to take money? Can they make it, most likely yes.

IMO, Shine should cover this expense, obviously we have enough intrested people here even if 50% back out. They wont loose money on this if they decode to make one.

 

no one is takin anyones money. what i suggested was to show dedication and hopefully give ken some motivation to move forward with this project.

 

IMO, people need to be patient. There hasn't been an announcement yet that he will not be able to borrow/rent one for a mold. While he may not have one today or this week, people should relax and just give it some time.

If you own an FD, you need to get used to waiting for things that you really want.

 

Woah Woah Woah. LOL. I haven't checked back on this thread in several days and some of you are over zealous. That's a good thing...sometimes. Treceb's diffuser is on it's way. He's been busy with work lately.

I believe the Re-Amemiya diffuser is discontinued.

 

I've estimated the diffuser to be roughly $300 plus shipping. If im wrong, it would only be a bit more than that, not much. However, I could be wrong on the shipping. I need to measure the size in person first.

 

definitly in at that price
