Mike

 

Sweet Mike, hopefully we can get some feedback soon!

 

Give me a set and ill get you feedback asap :-)

 

I think a lot of us would, LOL.

 

+1!!

 

Well I'll just have to get some others in the mean time then..... mine were due to be changed 60000km ago....I can't wait any longer lol

 

ok mike so do we have any real world ETA on getting a set, i now have another tire i need changed?

i have always been in your corner but i don't understand man.....whats the hold up? were the biggest member group but are we the lowest notch on the totem pole for getting work done, i mean the steering rack bushings and these were supposed to have been done literally years ago.

if you just make them, you will sell them no issues with that mike. lots of members need/want them but its been like 2 years with no end in site. should i give up and get one of the other Japanese made brands?

 

He did have Sema including other project cars like the ever so popular FRS/BRZ. lol.

big holdups for the 2GS.

 

No love for the gs. Frs came out not long ago and its already got parts for it :-)

 

shut up Vince lol, he didnt have Sema for 2 years....plus you killed your second 2nd Gen GS so i wasnt really appealing to you, let me add you to my iggy list now bwahahaha.

although this thread is only a year old,these have been talked about being made for almost 2 years now. i have been maxed out on camber for ever and eating up front tires. i easily could have gotten the Ikeya, nagisa, night pager UCA's by now (yes i know those options are much more expensive than Figs designs but here's the difference (they are actually available for purchase) i have been waiting on a product i thought/expected to be out, i keep hearing about making time to do them but not seeing any progress and im sure as new models come out he is just gonna get busier (hell the project he just picked up would keep me busy by itself for about a year)


well thats kind of different, the FRS is the new "IN" thing so i can understand making them ahead of us to get a foot in the door for that car but doesnt mean forget about anyone else. im not meaning to harp at mike but i need a new tire again (last time was passenger side this time is drivers side) and im fully maxed on camber so i need some UCA's like now. i have been patiently waiting on these and the steering rack bushings for along time and so far it doesnt seem like were making progress. i know their is a prototype set out and i know who has the prototypes but so far thats not leading anywhere either

 

I had an opportunity to get into the PPE booth with FRS parts, but they are far from released. Plus it was purely derivative of our existing arms in the rear.

The front arm is complicated due to the ball joint, the angles and various clearance. its been in test for sometime and I recently got some of the the feedback on which direction to take and which drop level. So ..I am working on it. Would be easier with a GS in the stable but that is life.

Also I think many of you are after different things and that has made it complicated. In terms of camber correction, there is not a great deal of room on the UCA. I am very close to having lower bushings that will allow correction as well...so there are different approaches to the problem.
Mike

 

i understand the FRS thing mike, that wasnt a big thing to me.....its expanding on a new model to generate business which is what business is all about. i know of a colorado member but who got the first set of castor arms? wasnt that done in house and you could mock up on their car or if we could find you a colorado member could it get done this way?

i wasnt intending to harp on you as i like you and your products im just tired of waiting to fix my camber issues and tired of burning through front tires. i have addressed all and i mean all aspects of the front suspension except the UCA's. which lower bushing are you addressing? any ETA of a production model UCA?

on a side note, any word on the steering rack bushings?

 

This year has been very tough for me from a support standpoint. For each product I release that means hundreds of emails with questions. So proto parts I can get to, but in terms of a full release its been hard to stomach even more support. I do not want the customer support to fall off, so these are the decisions I have to make. I literally have at least 5 products I am not releasing due to support bandwidth. That is one reason I spend all day on the phone and email is answering questions.

The Steering rack parts are detailed, I have them out for quote right now.
Mike

 

So are the 2GS UCAs one of those 5? Any idea if/when they'll be out? Which quarter/half of next year?

BTW, your carrier knuckle bushings are working out GREAT!! Thanks for the fast shipping!!
