Well here is a update for you. After a couple of E-mails I got a reply. Believe what you want out of this. He has been known to be less than truthful before. I did not put my spot up for sale originally because I thought it would be better if everybody ,patiently waiting, moved up a spot. You know what I think of the kit but if anybody is interested in buying my spot, they are more than welcome. This is his response:
Hi Bart,
Without a doubt, it has been too long. Virtually all of the problems have been created by me. Save many attempts to dyno run the XF. We never actually managed that.

These are not short projects, and this one is complicated by two factors:

One; the need to meet the objective price has been a bit less than fun. We’ve more plumbing and pieces in this thing than some $5k systems, yet we have simplified enough items via sublet, and making one part do two things, yet keep the thing in the profit range and not take short cuts. Needless to say, it has been a good exercise for us with regard to simplicity and ease of fabrication. That does not imply fun, rather, just interesting.

Two; the cost to design, tool, make a proto and all the details of instructions drawings, parts lists ………….. is typically $20k. That, in itself is not the problem, rather the level of business this year has plummeted to the point where we do not have the reserves to support a swift and thorough development.

Present status; Oil return system to configure, half the fixtures to fabricate, surface finishes to apply, assembly and testing. Our internal estimate is another 40 hours, or three weeks.

Many details will be sorted on the second proto, as well as instructions and parts.
That vehicle should take us about six to eight weeks considering the present state of our cash.

I would like to wait until we are filling existing orders to make your refund. Yes, we are that tight. One fellow on the list sold his deposit to another. You might try that.

Please do not hesitate to email me directly. I’d be pleased to discuss any matter you choose.:
May I ask where you live?

Regards,
Corky Bell
