Sam
This is a perfect opportunity for you to spell it out then. What is your plan, including timetable, to deliver a CARB certified kit?

We've already given him the answer along with everyone that e-mails us and asks about it.

Our shop Z with the supercharger kit for CARB testing does not have enough miles on it for certification. That is the reason why they did not pass the car. They could have told us before we paid $5k for the testing but they were happy to take our money and tell us after the fact. So, once we put the proper mileage on it, we'll be back at it. You gotta love the process.

Yeah, except for leaving a place where it makes sense to have a sports car year round, and having access to some of the most amazing natural driving areas in the U.S. That being said, I do miss my MSR Houston membership and easy track access...

We have some OK highway stuff too, just not as frequently. I'm a big fan of the stretch of I-10 between about Kerrville and Fort Stockton

Yeah, up in the hill country there are some nice roads. But still, being able to just roll out to MSR on any weekend was almost enough to keep me in Houston. Fortunately, my brother is still there, still a member, and has a E92 M3 for play.

I don't see how I'm being unreasonable here. The kit is 2 years overdue. A status of we will try again when the shop car hits 5000 miles provides no value. Sam may put 100 miles a year on the shop car.

All I want to see is "based on the current mileage and the miles we expect to put on the car and factoring in our other priorities, we expect to be ready to try again between Jan and March of 2013"..

I don't see what is so hard about this. I want to buy this kit, but it is vaporware right now.

Then what happens when they do not fall into the "window" they provide do you cry more? It isnt like it is your car at the shop they are getting the CARB approval with, then I would agree with you. If the Z isnt fast enough for you trade it in for something that is faster from the factory.

For the price of the Z plus FI there are a lot of nice cars in that price range. They are CARB approved off the lot!

Ok, since my last post didn't do the trick I'll give it another shot.

Dear MMC Racing,

Please go ahead and purchase the supercharger kit. If you need to pass smog, just disconnect the belt, or put it back to stock, or whatever it takes. As of right now, that's the current price of admission to playing the "supercharged 370Z in California" game.

Your Friend,

Scribe

Can a brother get a lock up in this biatch?
