I don't know why they wouldn't. They should have all the parts you need to install this kit in production by now.... I would think. Hopefully soon

You are. Direct reply from them via email:

Ron, we are waiting on the final version of the electrical interface to be completed before we build a production batch of headers and mounts. Once those are available we will put the word out.

So once they have a solid ECU / electrical setup, we'll hear news. They seem to fully intend to complete the kit, just a matter of time for them to perfect everything like they are known so well to do.

Do you actually know something that the rest of us don't or is this just a throw-away remark?

He's either a hater, or impatient. One or the other. Sorry, but that's how I see it.

We have had a large number of people that have contacted us for a kit. Even asking for us to expedite -just one- for them. And frankly, no. It's not worth it to build just one. And we won't build the production run until we know all the other parts that we don't control are also available. It's gotten to the point that I'd say a couple of them are now pestering us for parts. Again, sorry, but you'll have to wait in line with everyone else.

I don't know if Vorshlag gates their projects or not, but until they have lived though it, most people have no idea what happens between a "prototype" and a "product"; they might look identical, (if you are lucky) but the amount of work that needs to be done to go from prototype to finished product is huge.

The reality is that in order to generate cash flow and pay the bills, many small companies resort to selling the prototypes. Very easy to sink the reputation playing this game.

Been fun watching the entire project so far, looking forward to the final gate.

Thanks NoHome. It's -so- easy to do a one off part. It's so much more difficult to do a production run without letting the costs get away from you, and make sure that all the parts are identical, and correct.

Daily driving the car.....no issues....probably got a couple thousand miles on it,....can't seem to not want to grab the FRS keys to get to work LOL....drove it today in fact .....no complaints.....just need a sway bar and can-bus integration and I'm good to go.....its really not bad to drive minus can-bus....issues are the fuel gauge works in 3 increments....full/half/empty....it's can related and I'm assuming it's in fail safe.....partial power steering....once again in fail safe....I'm guessing it works off of wheel speed it's not getting and at slow speed...10mph and under its a nuisance....no tach...digital and analog speedo work....no abs and traction control or A/C.
