Good Luck with the VDC kit. I have have the decah/springmans modified on mine. I love them but hate them at the same time. It's hard to explain unless you have them.

I would be very interrested in seeing some pics of the protoype to get a feel for exactly what you are doing!!!!

You can email them to: jashirley@ctechpgh.com

Correct! We developed the turbokit, which is st1( simple bolt on) and st2 with recomended additional parts(with internal and other mods). St1 kit is going on the market from the 1st of febr as well. We have a great interest in europe, but I think we could go out the USA market.
Lambo door pics will be up next week as I said.
We also going to make high performance polished stainless steel headers for gt, polished ssteel intake manifold for boosted gt.
We are ready to make other parts as well, just give me the idea what to, and may can do it.

But I have them in my mind, will try to do something in febr but not before.

No matter what on any VDC you will always have to trim the inner fender/roll it back. It's nothing major to do though!!!! thumbsup

i am just wandering, if you have considered make it auto shut to,(and if you can't make it opperate via remote, most auto stereo shops can do that.), and one more question, i don't know how difficult it would be, but i have seen it done, could you make a kit that opens automaticly up and down, but stil opens OEM style too, i would be willing to pay extra if you could make this kit

Ok. Before someone missunderstands it the auto up means:
you push the door out horizontal ~20-30cm and then the door just lifts itself up. If you want to close it you have to pull it down with slight force and then just close it ( OUR back door work in this way). The Movement of the door is controlled by an `L` shape, but the corner of the L may will be rounded so an optional electric motor could be added later for remote controll. We will work on it as well, but just let us finish the basic kitt.

I'm a rookie here but i just had to get in this $1k lambo kit group buy. I will buy this kit as long as it is:

*good quality
*bolt-on without any serious mods
*can be manually shut cause i'm mostly in a hurry
*option for remote-controlled lift (low priority)

if this kit can be shipped to me before April. i'm in! thumbsup

thnx,
tony

Do you want to get our st1 turbo kitt or other?
If so what do you know about it?

Currently a few is in production for european st2 orders, but we can add one more. Also sorry but think that you cant have it in your hands at the 1st of febr, but till the middle yes. Also dollar is doing very bad, we just try to keep it at 3000$.

off topic:^^haha, well the dollar did go up .0054 yesterday rofl we now can get .7 something euro for $1...which kinda sux because we used to be able to get like 1.1 euro for $1. but anyway...

the bad dollar is actually good for us in terms of exporting. because are prices are cheaper, we are able to sell more to other countries which is what we are trying to do (our import-to-export ratio has been considerred far high than what we would like) the weakening of the dollar is actually helping us out...our firms are producing more which helps promote growth.

but in any case it doesnt help with importing so prices will be inflated when we buy from countries (such as hungary). but this is an incentive to buy domestic, which helps us out even more.

true the dollar is doing 'bad', but its actually not too much wrong with it. (except for the people who want to buy your turbo!)

this incrased buying of domestic products will eventually lead to an increased value of the dollar...and so the cycle continues.

ok, i'm done..i'll shutup.

All true!
Thats why I`m buying my susp and brake kit now. I can save $s. Previously our national money was related to dollar, but now cos of we are to join the EU its set to relate with the euro. Actually I was wrong when I meant that we try to keep this price, cos its ok now. I just hope in this hand the $ will not drop much anymore related to euro. But just imagine like ~2 years ago $ costed us 1,5 times more then now, you could have been able to get the kit for 2000$!!( its a shame we did not have a kit that time). Man I think you would love that! smile

Ok as far we are:

The first prototype of the frame is ready, and now we could measure what spring we need for autolift the door.

Sorry for the dirty pics, but theese are not the pics of a final product!! Also the frame is not polished and optimized.
We are planing to have the ready product the end of this month latest. No spring yet.

there's way's to do it.and hope fully your body man shouldn't have to much of a broblem with it. so if you look at the car from the driver side.you see where the the closest side of the door meets the front fender.i'll have them cut the side skirt straight down so that, that part of the skirt becomes part of the front fender.so the fender can be removed with the least anount of damage to the car.then that part of the skirt becomes part of the fender.then after the kit is installed.they can put the fender back on and all the have to do is mold that small area back together.then color blend that area.hope fully it won't cost that much.tell me what you think thumbsdown or thumbsup

you should have made so you can take off the bumper and fenders together, that would look cool coming off, but i doubt you could do it now without a lot of work done

I am totally in!!! Sounds good and with my financial aide and tax return in, it is a total reality!!! I love school. Who said school doesn't pay? Just in the past couple of days I've ordered my carbon fiber hood, intake, and cat-back. But anyways, back to the point of this topic.. like everyone has said, if there is a warranty and if it also a bolt on, definately count me in! And all these people that want an auto down option, U all need to quit asking for one! Just a bunch of lazy a**es. With the price being under a grand, really can't ask for more.

Hy everybody!

I just want to let you know that we still working on it. The first frame of the structure was ready when I posted the pictures, but I have to say we are not at the end. It was easy to make the kit as other companies, but its not easy to make it rigid. As you know I want the doors to move as less shake as possible, and I`m still not happy with it. So we are trying to solve the problem, but that may take some time. Actually we are keeping the plan. We want to finish the prototype in jan and start the sales or a GB in febr.

So theese are the news, rather good or bad. wink
I will inform you soon again.
