Edit: I am also not posting to bump this thread, I read occasionally and make comments just like any other community member to inform or correct statements or just give my opinion. If you read my posts they are in no way shape or form bashing you. I also have my own opinion about the matter but I have said nothing. The only reason I continue to post are to respond to your comments directed at me.

K, I haven't been following the forums much anymore but does anyone have a idea what the state of the turbos are ? Hoping to get this rx8 stuff out of my garage and sold. My 7 stock twins is in need of a rebuild so the funds would be nice.
it's not my responsibility to keep track of which member is owed a kit, the fact remains that after over two years following payment (and subsequently moving onto other cars in some cases) they are still owed kits which is the sole purpose of this thread
why they keep having to come back here to ask about them is beyond me, perhaps you should read the instructions on the instructions about how to keep these 5 people informed about their status ...

wow u think that letting us know that the kits are late and not answering to those u own the kit a date on when deliver will occur after almost 2 years is ok

Or to you.
You are both trolls in the absolutely purest form. The very definition of troll.
Neither of you are owed a kit. Neither of you have anything to do with me or any of those that are owed a kit.
You are just here because of some sort of inflated sense of self-importance.
The difference is, I'm not crying to the moderators to have your posts removed from my "bad guy" thread.
Not a day goes by that I don't. Not one.
I wish the old adage "no news is good news" would apply here, but it doesn't.
The turbine housings are on the welder's bench. I can't force him to finish - he will get it done by his own rules.
The same went for the oil discharge piping.
The compressor housings were trashed by the CNC guy, so I am out another $1000 there, but I already ordered replacements and found a more capable place to lathe them.
I had to make the actuators myself again. No one wanted to touch the project (that I could afford), so I had to rent time at a shop with a MIG. At least those are done.
I never asked for an answer from you. As for my self-importance, it is only rivaled by your own and that lame response is only one upped by you whipping out the troll card. I am simply a forum member with an opinion, much like many of your own responses here, and It is obviously important enough for you to justify responding to. I don't have to be one of the unlucky few suffering from your inability to deliver for over 2 years to express it either. Not to mention that you use the T word for people criticising your business practices and not those of other vendors like Brice, as you so aptly demonstrated. I don't recall him resorting to the troll whining either. You don't seem to understand that your choices in vendors only falls on yourself and its just bad choices in series. You funded this project on the money you took in from hapless victims of your own poor business practices and abilities. Adding up all the money you claim to have lost in these multiple reasons it seems that giving them their money is both the right and cheaper solution. Assuming you believe your image has value.
If the kits are worth what you claim then selling them upon completion shouldn't be any problem. However, you can't squeeze blood from a rock. The reality is you were underfunded from the start and the people who trusted in you are still paying for your mistakes over 2 years later with nothing to show for it except being several grand poorer. That is what this thread is about and until you clear it up it will only continue to soil your image as a vendor. It seems incredible that you consider yourself a stand up guy over your insistence that they will eventually get their kits. That said, it doesn't make you a bad person or somebody not to like. It just makes you someone not to trust for complicated projects. Again, that is the basis for this thread.
