I had to drop out of this opportunity before Christmas 2006 because it had already taken over the original time expectation and I had to ship my package of GT conversion parts&car to the UK. It has been interesting (and considerably less frustrating) watching this from the sidelines.
I hope you all get your parts and the quality meets the high expectations that must have built up in peoples minds by now. If (and I hope when ) this kit actually becomes available and is proved in service, I hope someone directly involved has the fore thought to offer another batch for those mere mortals less patient than a Saint.

I look on with interest !!

Hi,
I would like to order 2 sets as well if still possible. So please count me in. How and where to pay? Please let me know.
Thanks

We are still waiting for the first batch. patiently

Any further updates?

Thank you!

I spoke with Steve yesterday, he is as frustrated as we are. the machine shop that is fabricating the swages is draging their feet getting them finished.

Steve has a lot of money and time invested in this project and to date has not cash anyone checks that have made payment and told me he wil not until he has everything for the kits, which is one part.

So that being siad he is committed to making this happen, so everyone hang in there.Thanks

Well I have always believed in the old addage "good things come to those who wait" So wait I will. John, please tell Steve we appreciate his hard work, and attention to detail. I look forward to getting mine!

No problem in waiting. Just let us know when they're done!

I too will wait for good things!!

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!

Spoke with Steve and the swages are IN!! So that being said the last and easiest item are the cables, he told me he will do his best to have the Kit avaliable to ship by next week.

Sounds good



Ron

Sill on board. Let me know the final payment details.

I am ready with cash burnin in my pocket for Steve!!

Ready

My cash is ready and waiting!!


Ron

Me Too!!!!!!!!!!

Did we hear from Steve yet?

Still interested if anyone bails.

They are working on the cables as we speak, should have something by the end of next week.

I want, I want, I want!!!
I wait, Iwait, Iwait!!

I sent in my check a couple weeks ago.


I didn't wanna miss the train.


Ron

Any updates?

I just got off the phone with Steve - wish I had known about this buy I would have asked about it.
Steve will be at the VIR at the Glen weekend of the 20th and then will be leaving for Daytona the 29th.
He is incharge of the Tech inspections for all the cars running in Daytona.
At this time there are at least 20 917 signed up and over 300 porsches.
So if you can make it to Daytona Nov 1 2 3 it should be a great time.There are at least 30 Porsche cars coming from europe that have never before been in the states.

Sorry for the highjack - if needed I can drive to Steves shop and see whats up.

Steve is a OLD SCHOOL kind of guy - Yes he has a computer(old one and he rarely uses it). I have found that it is best to call him on the phone

Dude, look at the post above for the update on the GT kits

I don't need you to drive to his shop to see whats up , I speak to Steve on a weekly basis on the status of the group buy. I've got it handled.

Any updates out there on these elusive head light kits?

Iam as frustated as everyone else, spoke to him friday. He is working on a set of installation directions he told me he hopes to have them done soon.

He still has not cashed any of the payment checks.

Thanks for the reply.. i too sent him a check ( sent in May 07) for two sets . Was going to give a set away for Xmas . I guess that will never happen:(

All the best for the holidays!

Uhh, Were we supposed to send in payment checks? When I spoke to him (years ago??) to get on the 'official list' and he didn't say anything about sending a check. IIRC, he said he'd take payment when they were done. Did I screw up?

SMD

Nope... I spoke to Steve and was told I was on the list as well. Never heard about a check. Still ready to go.



Awe... you shouldn't have.

No worries... I'll wait, a belated gift is better than nothing at all!

I like this because it's one group buy that's actually taken longer than my suspension bushings!!

Hanging in there...

E.

I was told NOT to send a check, that I would be asked to pay wen they were ready. I gave him a phone number and he said he would call. I hope he still has my number. Is there a way just to make sure that I am still on the list? Should I call him again and waist his time or do I go with the force??

"I go with the force".... I sent my $ in to show that 1) I trusted him 2) committted to the buy.

Sorry if I caused any ill feelings.

Everbody stop worrying

Steve still has the list of who was in on the buy and so do I

They are coming an so is Christmas

Looking forward to getting them when they're done!

Remember, patience is a virtue!

John,
I've been following this thread since Nov 2006 and indicated I would buy a kit if it was sub $300 back on 1st Dec 2006. Recently I've seen mention of a 'list' and some confusion about whether money should have been sent or not.
(One one thing more frustrating than waiting all day for a bus. That's waiting for a bus all day, only to find there is no room on it when it arrives !)

Would it be possible to clarify who exactly is on the 'LIST', how many kits are going to be made and what price these kits are likely to be now they are nearly finished.
Many thanks
Andrew

There my be some additional kit you need to contact Steve directly.

OK Christmas is here and Gone.... any further updates? Can I expect them by Feb of 2008?

Just thought I would throw out a teaser, even though I am not even on the list. I was over at Air Cooled Racing yesterday. Ended up talking with Steve for about an hour. I saw the kits. They look great. He is waiting for the cables, everything else is done.

Zach

If there are any unspoken for kits I will take one.
Thanks,
Charliew

All are spoken for at this time.

Any further updates on this?

Thank you!

On the phone with him now... Hoping to have them by the end of the month. Hershey at least.

Hehehehe. Thats what he said. Last year;) Still waiting patiently.

Jeez, give the guy a break. He offers to build us a 914 6 GT headlight kit and he is waiting on a cable issue. He wants to do it right.

If you are tired of waiting, then build it or find it yourself. Its not like you have paid for the things and not received them!

I'll bet there are a few who would love to have your place in line!

I am happy to wait. I like his kit and I would like it to work without cable problems.

When its ready, its ready.

I rubbed my lamp and the gennie inside said he couldn't even make them without any issues so I will still wait. I am happy to see someone as anal about quality as I am.

Ian

Sounds like everything might be together. He just wants to test fit on a car and take pictures.

Since Iam the guy that started this project with Steve, Iam glad to see somebody else understands the process. Iam tried of these guys complaining its taking to long.

I don't think there's any need to ruffle feathers on either side of the fence. I don't think Stephen was complaining... he made a joke and said he's is "waiting patiently". Steve's joking about it when I spoke to him on the phone. He was worried about being "Lynched" at Hershey.

There's no doubt this has taken longer than any other group buy out there. Well over a year ago it was going to be a month.

I think we all need to understand that Steve runs a very successful race shop and he has many "bill paying" projects to attend to. With all the time and effort put into this I doubt he's making any coin on it. Also, he wants to do it right.

Hang tight, bump the thread every now and again and, that fateful day will come. There's "really" no need to get worked up or piss anyone off over something as simple as this.

I would love for some to back out I am #2 on the backup list.

Hell for that matter I have built my own and would still go with an "authentic GT Kit" if someone wants out.....

I wouldn't mind having a set for my GT clone either, and since it is all appart

"Hang tight, bump the thread every now and again "

That was my intent.. I spoke to him last week and thought..hey bump the thread in case some one else has some updated info.

Heck, he already has my $....

Thanks all
