Sorry... not yet on the RHD

... We are only accepting orders for LHD cars at this time.

The Right Hand Drive (RHD) version for international customers like yourself is still a good 60 days away from completion. We had to finish the LHD version first, and then the RHD version is created by mirroring the designs in the software and re-routing the circuits, which has already begun.

why you getting rid of your car?

I understand you enjoy making these but if you are loosing money on them then why are you still selling for $400?

That doesn't make sense...

They look amazing though

I was wondering the same thing myself. Commonly the pre-order price is lower than the regular price.

That wasn't the plan...

we had to do a re-design mid production (after pre-orders were already taken) and move the power supply external along with re-tooling some of the parts, which basically meant that this first batch is going to be in the negative... we will make it up in the long run.

Glad you like it!

60 days? I'll hold you to that. The countdown begins

radiantm3 · 12-17-2009, 12:09 PM

If I order by tomorrow, will I still get the fully assembled version?

Hoe long is 'for now'?

Bullitt · 12-17-2009, 02:45 PM

Fellow pre-order guys, try your best to be present when the postman delivers this. My delivery was attempted yesterday, the note was left, and subsequently, I had to stand in the crazy long line today at the post office during my lunch for one hour! It's just best to avoid the US Post office during this time of the year.

Anyway, thanks Rick...everything in the package looks like pure quality.

Here are some pics!

acivick · 12-17-2009, 03:09 PM

People have to stop making cool stuff I didn't know I wanted but now can't live without. Soon I'll be on the soup line just to pay my credit card bills.

No idea... maybe a week? Those OEM vents are expensive, its a pretty big bonus... only reason I have extra is because some people backed out of the pre-order.

Packaged with the utmost care and attention... what good is an awesome product if it doesn't look awesome in the box too

Here is a fun tip... because the unit has a external regulated switching power supply, it will take between 8-16v, if you connect the red an black wires to the + (red) and - (black) of a 9v (square) battery, you can fire up the gauge in your house.. plug the tubing onto the sensor, blow on it and simulate your own boost and vacuum

You can also use this time to calibrate the gauge to your ambient pressure and elevation. (see the features sheet)

Mega Man · 12-17-2009, 03:43 PM

Packaging looks good. I'm looking to order this sometime in March. Think your supplies will hold til then?

I should be working now, but I couldn't resist.

Calibrated!

This product is amazing. I'll be ordering mine when I get back from deployment in April. Great job on the quality and the professionalism.

nordique14 · 12-20-2009, 11:39 PM

I just completed the install. Took a little longer than I thought but the install was not complicated. Prying out some of the interior pieces is difficult as I am never sure how much pressure to apply. The rest of the install is not difficult.

First I just wanted to give kudos for a way overengineered item. Not often I get something that greatly exceeds my expectations. This is a seriously bad ass piece of work. Congrats to Rick for designing a custom solution for our cars and pulling it off in spectacular fashion.

For those who have not ordered yet, I highly recommend the PnP adapter. Although not absolutely necessary, it certainly saves a lot of time not having to figure out the wiring.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Thank you for a great product. By the way, after the right hand drive gauge of course, any hints as to the next step in P3 evolution?
