As many of you have noticed, many of the SakeBomb Garage GB threads in the FDNewbie section were closed recently. Not to worry, SBG is still here and thriving . Dan and I are in the process of restoring the now closed GB threads, as we just re-activated a new vendor account with RX-7 Club. We should hopefully have the original GB threads moved and reopened within the next couple days, but I wanted to post an update letting everyone know that, yes we are still very much here. (We also promise to get our website up and running shortly so that this forum isn't the only place we exist )

We would also like to thank the entire rx7 community for their support of our tiny business over the years! We hope to make 2011 a great year with lots of exciting parts and upgrades for the FD, among other cars. SakeBomb Garage is committed to keeping FD's not only competitive, but reliable well into the foreseeable future.

Heath and Dan,
SakeBomb Garage

 

Hm, Cali before smelloware, and Heaf being given top billing...... I know who's in the driver's seat at SBG

Welcome back boys!

 

Good to see you're back, I was worried for a bit.

So whats the ETA on the lights?

 

+1 on the FC lights =)

 

Good news for FC guys, they are mostly done, and withing the next week or two should be shipping. We're building harnesses now. They are taking up all of the workbench space, which is the bad news for FD guys. Until we finish the FC lights and get them off the work benches, we can't unpack and get back to the FD lights. Unfortunately the new workspace is on the smaller side, and for the FD lights we need room to spread out as there are so many to do. I've also lost the "hired help" and am working along which is making this process MUCH slower than it would/should be. I'm trying to find a replacement to speed things up.

 

Thanks Rich! Yeah, I wear the pants in this relationship

Good deal. I was looking for some of your old threads for FD stuff...

 

Nice,

You guys make some really impressive products with amazing quality.

 

Haha and I have been left off the masthead all together... not like I came up with the company name or anything

 

What I thought Dan did? Ok, what DID Dan do is the real question

For those who aren't aware, Charlie goes WAY back. He's a founding father, up there with... no, better than Alexander Hamilton (who by the way was a total bad ***)!

 

Haha, well between the name, the logo, the original oil cooler bracket design, engineering drawings and sourcing, the v-mount design and brackets... I guess Dan did source a few things here and there He also watched me almost lose a few fingers during the initial fabrication process due to our circular saw of death that liked to catch on aluminum stock. Those were the days, haha.

 

You guys going to take over the FD LED tail lights yet?

 

We're talking to Tom about it. I can't say for sure yet, he's still debating how he wants to proceed

 

Nevermind... Found what I was looking for.

 

+1 on you guys taking over the led tail lights.

 

you guys should make LED lights for FC's...that'd be siiiiccckkkkkkkk!!!

 

I'll talk to Tom again tonight and see where we are at.

 

problem is development cost VS purchases. We did this with the FC HID's but only were able to sell 15 of them and therein lies the problem with the FC. Lots of interest in parts, but little follow through when it comes time to ante up.

What's up with all the Dan hate!? I almost lost some limbs to that circular saw as well, it was an adventure!

-Dan
[testing new sig too :P]

 

I assume you'll PM those of us on the FC HID list when you're ready to ship for balance of payment?

 

Hurray

 

Not hatin' playa! I love you, Dan

 

glad to hear you guys are back can't wait to jump on the next G/B for the fd lights
good luck

 

Any chance of a one-off RX3 LED tail light convesion?
