HEY!!! How about an UPDATE!!

When are the first group buy units going to ship?? We keep getting pushed back. What is the hold up?

I think we deserve to know since the shipment is WAY over due.

Best thing you can do is call CanZoomer to get info.

Save yourself the time. I dont think Maurice has a lot of spare time to browse the boards too much lately so your best bet is to just call him.

Ok, ok, keep your shirt on . We are improving the unit design and production should resume next week. I expect to finish another small batch then. After that, production should be faster (due to the improvements - fingers crossed). We are building modules for the updated box now in preparation for final assembly. We are waiting for some parts from our suppliers as well.
I know you'll ask, so:
a) Moved switch into box - accessable through hole in other side of unit. Switch now controls more of the circuit.
b) Added circuit flexability to allow us to more safely add "Stage 2" and more easily change the circuit when necessary.
c) Added external plug-in access to the "tach output" (previous units had to be opened to plug it in).

No, I can't give you delivery dates. Sorry! I don't have access to the orders. I just build and test them as fast as I can .

Future -
Maurice keeps coming up with better ways to do this! I guess I can't really disclose them at this time, but there are several different tracks to it. Which one works best or reaches production we don't know at this time. There is a chance we can make the unit adaptive, but no promises yet! He also keeps improving the Stage 1 map.

Maurice, really, im about to the point of saying forget it, just send me whatever it is you have finished. these upgrades are good, but adding another week or two on top of 3 months is just too much. its not worth it it to me, and speaking on behalf of the other GB members, it isn't to them either.

additionally, I was told our units were boxed up and the customs forms were being filled out and I could expect a tracking number within 24 hours. this was 6 days ago, still no number. if you want to stop production to make upgrades, fine, but don't BS me into thinking my order is going out and then make me wait even longer.

i just hope we don't get this runaround on the 2nd group buy.

Stage 1.2?

Does this mean people with 1.1version will have to send their units back for reprogramming or have to buy the upgrade program/cable?
It's starting to look like Microsoft windows..... LOL

The upgrade kit is money well spent, IMHO. Mazda will continue to release new flashed for some time to come, and fortunately, CZ is keeping up with them. We all benefit!

Anyone who is tired of waiting, check the "For Sale" section. I have had one from the beginning, and it was just returned (still in the box) from having the latest upgrades, the tach port and the update port installed, and even includes an update cable.

That way, all future updates can be installed yourself...........

And just for the record, the first group buy was ready to be shipped, but the organizer was moving, and told us to hold off. We shipped those units to other customers. The first group buy will come out of the next batch. At least that's what I overheard when I was testing them.

Please calm down, people. This is not a conspirosy to keep you from getting one.

We ran out of parts to build them, and while waiting for more parts implemented improvements. Our suppliers also occationally have delays.

You guys are as impatient as a bunch of car nuts! Wait, you are! Just like me!
