Basically what I implied is, its ready to be made now… just need the deposits. Just to clarify. 50% deposit 690 british pounds is the standard price. Consider this cheap as he has ferrari racks that he would charge double for… That being said since it’s a group buy it’ll be 10% off for the group buy making the actual cost 621 british pounds = 1010.16USD 4.5% on top of price if through paypal credit card, address, phone number required. I’ll provide him this link so he can jump in and same with the nico thread. He will post pictures, it’s already been sent to the shop and he has drawings that he’ll post up that have already been processed. We need to make that list now an actual yes I’ve paid and I’m gona get it list. If you are no longer going to be a part of the group buy please let me know so I can take you of the list. This is serious so lets make it happen. ---

On the Rx7 we save a total of 8.5kgs on the RHD rack, but almost 10Kgs on the LHD rack, as it is hard mounted, so we have made the body slightly thinner. > > We build race cars from Rx7s and wanted to remove the original PAS to give more feel as well as remove weight.

It is very direct, giving it great feel, and allows you to hit every apex. Running it on the road is simple. Yes it is a little heavier than the standard rack, but once you are moving it is perfect…and slow speed isn’t too bad either. > > The racks are being drawn up as we speak, and should be ready for a production slot for the end of November.

A grip oriented rack and a drift oriented rack. So basically price is 620British pounds (1010USD) + fedex shipping 85 British pounds (139USD) Our dollar is very strong at the moment so if you’re serious for a serious product like this, this is the time to get it… its not very often that it comes around.

Our dollar is almost the same at the moment so there you go little to no difference.
