any idea on pricing yet?

 

I think it was estimated 36xx - 43xx, but I could be wrong. Nothing is in stone yet.

<<Anxiously awaiting another update!!!>>

 

Yeah Matt, that's what we're shooting for, just not sure yet...

We're doing everything we can to keep cost down. But, we will not spare one part or design for quality. Everything is to be OEM quality with tolerances set to withstand a full day of road racing, and extreme temperatures. We took a lot into account in designing these kits. We spent TONS of time just on the pipe layout and diameters (figuring in temperatures, clearances, velocity, cfm capabilities, and overall cosmetics). Everything comes with pre-welded tabs and mounts so there's no pipes clanking around or anything. The emanage setup is working flawlessly so far. It's only a matter of time before we work out any fuel bugs and get the car running where we want it.

*Note... For road racing an entire day, use adequate fluids with higher temp tolerances (oil, tranny fluid, brake fluid, radiator fluid) along with upgraded cooling systems. The racing development (engine internals and cooling/durability) will be underway once the turbo kits are done. This is only the beginning.

 

That's so awesome... I can't wait.

 

Huzzah! I feel dyno numbers coming soon!

 

Cant wait for some dyno numbers

 

Hey, Joe, I know this is completely off topic, but were you at HIN in AC last weekend? The only other tC i know of that's note worthy of being there is the Nitto tC.

By the way, I'll probably come up and visit sometime soon to check and see how things are going. Winter is coming around soon, so I wanna see all my NE tC buddies while I can!

 

Hats off to you and your team! Very nice job

 

Nawe I haven't been to shows in a while. Last month I got horribly sick (Hospital sick) for almost a month, and missed about 2 weeks of work. That played a small delay in the turbo kit which is why it isn't done yet. (soon though!).

If you want, go to www.newenglanddragway.com . There's a show on the 8th of October that I'm a vendor at. The tC will be done and running before then, so it'll be the shop car representing the company. If you're making such a long drive, you might as well see a decent import show.

 

That's awesome, because me and my friend went up there a couple times during the summer to watch some racing. We didn't time our cars, but we regret doing so. Well, hopefully I'll be able to make the trip up there before the winter. I'll pm you to let you know when I'll be in the area.

Oh, and if you didn't know about my status on the turbo kit...

You got me!

 

Sweet man. See you soon!

 

How the hell you going to go get sick on us when you have a kit to produce. total slackers over there ;)

 

So how's the testing coming along Joe? =P

 

phht yeah right lol

 

We've been getting horrible delays with a supplier on some custom work that needed to be done. It won't be an issue later, but it's keeping us from getting this tested as soon as we wanted.

 

I have ways of making them hurry up... Give me 2 days :ninja-face:

 

Lol... None of that now.

The kit is actually done. But the reason it's taking so long is because of putting all the bends into the CNC machine, and getting the higher-q welds done (including all the tabs the hold the pipes securely in place). Once everything's cleaned up we should be posting up much more pics and info.

 

I've been going to the import wars at NE Dragway for the past few years and its worth the trip. I missed the last one cause the car was in the body shop but can't wait to see your tC in person Joe. I was hopping the kit would be ready by then but I'd rather have it done right then slapped together. keep up the great work.

 

We're planning on shpowing it at Import Wars. I have a vendor booth there this time.

 

Hey are friday nights good up there? Because if so, maybe I'll make an appearance this week!
