So after going back and forth between Sasha's kit and GTM's Twin SC, I'm gonna go with BP. Email traffic to GTM did not work in my favor and was unable to get details I needed from them. I got a couple replies from them, then just went silent. It's not completely their fault as my schedule is a 180 from theirs and by the time I can call, it's well past operating hours. On the other hand Sasha has been able to answer my inquiries promptly, and the savings going with his kit is substantial. At least $4500 in cost/install difference alone. Reselling parts will only increase the difference. I wish I can order now, but I just bankrolled $4300 to fly back to the states and see a dying family member. Even sending money next year, everything will sit in my garage for months. But knowing it's there waiting for me is better than hoping that I can get it when I return.

Edit: Just read your post, hope things heal up for you soon. Recovery sucks. You ever sell that last kit?

Good choice. The last kit is still up in the air in a way. Sort of spoken for at the moment, but not 100%. Thre are a couple of people ahead of you as well, in case this deal does not go through.

We appreciate the update Sasha. Sorry to hear about the longer than expected recovery from the surgery, but good to hear it's improving fast.

From your description of the doctor's attention, it seems like the health care system in Canada works after all

The end of December sounds perfect, if not no biggie (at least for me). I hope you take it easy and have a speedy recovery!

Thanks for understanding Hugh...and yes the healthcare system up here is good and works well for everybody. As for me, I am about 60% there, and it is still frustrating...but getting better. That is the most important thing. I should get a decent amount of work done over the next couple of days as well.

Just take it easy and don't push yourself! I can wait if it takes longer. Just so it can be installed by spring

Did you figure out where you're doing the work at?

Take your time Sasha and get well my friend. We'll wait till you get back to a 100%. Health first, business after. The kits can wait.

And don't worry about your reputation. You're a one-man shop and obviously if something happens to you, it will of course affect the production of the kits. The fact that you're updating us about the delay due to your surgery, to me, means you don't hide stuff from your clients, which means you're an honest and trustworthy person to deal with. Transparency is something that is getting scarce in the automotive industry nowadays, and for that, I tip my hat off to you my good sir.

Get well and keep us posted.
