What exactly is the part, or is top-secret?
What ever happened to your castle?

Still got it, came down to so-cal to handle some biz, develop this new part etc etc.
Top Secret until june 1st.
Any good looking tracked S13 is applicable, because you DONT have this. Install is non-invasive and reversible.

Is it what I think it is. If so then you posted the product quite awhile ago I really like it too.
I'll be tracking my car on the 31st at WSIR's Horse Thief Mile. Don't think my car is pretty enough for a demo car though :(
Pictures are deceiving and my car's paint doesn't look as nice.

Well, tell your friends who might be at track events in the next few weeks to drop me an email. I would rather give these away to zilvia supporters than just random people at the track.

Definitely get Karl in the mix. Dude, get the whole Team Mulsanne klan in the mix. Chuck, Teddy, and Cody (Karl is the fourth). They'll be hitting up practically every drift event out in SoCal.
They have brand new aero and paint to make their cars a lot prettier and less janky. lol

I want info, what is this mystery product? Is it the cool temp gauge in the clock doo dad? Or something BETTER?!
DreamN
05-29-2009, 02:19 AM
^ that's what I think it is, but it might not be.
According to the site it's $49.98 plus $5.15 shipping. Whatever it is, Johnny seems happy about it.
If more info isn't posted by Sunday evening I'll have info as I'll be attending HTM on the 31st which is the product's unofficial debut.

05-29-2009, 12:06 PM
Johnny, I am glad you like it. We had proofed the concept a lot of times over, but its always nervous especially when you have over engineered something, to get that final thumbs up.
Yeah, I will be at the track with it.
Int'l shipping is $13.50 worldwide, just got that worked out too.

Thank you to everyone who tested the part for us today.
It was really good to see so many familiar faces today, and to see the final version of the part be such a success on the cars.
Thanks again,

Guessing he's typing up a nice piece of it for his website and figuring out what pictures he wants to use. Plus his site even says it'll be up June 1st. Seeing as he's west coast, it's not June 1st yet. :p

Hey!
Yeah, I was typing everything up, picking out photos, still allot more to do!
Even if your stock bars are straight, these load the rear end against the chassis, and make a big big improvement.
Thanks to everyone that helped testing them! Please send me your reviews asap so I can get you guys onto the website.
Here is Johnny's write up: RPSport.net Presents! (http://www.rpsport.net/test)

You too! P/M me your number and we can talk about sticker space for parts!
whats the point of waiting to make money? just post it up already so u can sell whatever it is
Its all in the execution, wanted to make sure we had inventory on hand, and the site ready to take orders before I announced.
I guess I didnt qualify. So what is this top secret doo dad anyways? Its June 1st @ 12:31am. Post i up so i can see if I want to buy this or not!!! :)
BUT! You should have said hello at least! Did you see me running around out there getting burned up? Its usually a little difficult to find people in person who you only know online, teddy and jack didn't even recognize me because I cut my hair.
I was the guy in the RVCA Shirt driving the silver 7 series.
Got to see the part, got to test the part (kinda) and I can see how it makes a difference. I'll be buying a set when they come out. =)
Karl! You gangster! Thank you for taking juan with you, I haven't seen him in ages! Call me up about some sticker space.

This new subframe brace is amazing. I was one of the lucky ones to be able to test out this new product at HTM on Sunday.
It made a huge difference!!
My subframe bushings are complete shot and after installing these I could not even tell.
Less wheel hop, More traction
I highly recommend this product for everyone.

Will this product have any benefit for those that are running solid subframe spacers/risers?

06-02-2009, 11:49 PM
Dammit I wish I got to try it out on htm on sunday lol.
I'll probably buy a pair.

Big Big benefit. I have noticed that cars with subframe spacers have More wheel hop than without. These are designed to work along with subframe spacers, not a competing product, so using both in conjunction is a huge improvement.

Yeah! You should have just asked! I was right next to your pit most of the day, sucks about your windshield... Did you get a new one put in?

My bad, I worded that wrong. I meant solid aluminum bushings, not spacers.

I have not tested it yet with them. Kyle I will PM you my new cell, if you still live in town, come by tomorrow after 4 and I will let you test them. I really need to see if there is an improvement.
There should be because of the way this works, but I don't want to go out on a limb before I know.
ahh didn't know you had more with you.

Sweet! Yeah, call around, I would get those guys to come to the shop and install them for like $80 cash in S13's.
