Anybody know what's up w/ that "BLOWN" kit?

[Uncle Ben's White Rice]

I thought that maybe someone had said it would be ready by Feb'02? If anyone has anymore info on it, I would appreciate it!

Yeah, seems your cant even trust the guys on this board to hold up their word.

haha.....good luck man!!!

Before you start talking smack, why don't you learn the facts and then consider the source.

Bo (GTSNut) is designing the kit. He is hoping to have it built by World Racing, Chris Rado's team, or some affiliate of them. This was all an idea on paper as of a few months ago and seeing as Bo does all of this in his spare time, realize that neither the design or manufactuer are on a time table. He has been "hoping" for things to get rolling with this.

Whatever the circumstances are behind the manufactuer of this kit, Bo would be the only person to know. Send him an email or PM him. Just remember, neither Bo or World Racing does this for a living.....

send him an email and if you are lucky you will probably get it by the end of this year.........thats just my opinion no flames!!!

[Uncle Ben's White Rice]

I just wanted to know, if there was any up-to-date news on it, that's all, not trying to stir up any flames!

well now you know who to contact...

andy wanna close this up?

Whya re you guys so scared about voicing your opinions about this kit or whatever certain people say on they are producing for us?? the designers of this kit came to this board and announced this kit and the planned production and an estimated date of production .To date , nada!!! So why is so so bad to ask why?? If you are not sure as to if you can evenb get this thing done, then why did you bother to get all out hopes up with some phot shopped images. Granted , i appreciate all the work that Bo has done on this matter but it gets a little annoying being constantly told about upcoming mods that never materialize. Its always starts with "save your pennies" and ends up with me having jars of pennies all over the house and me tripping over all this crap. Do yu have any idea how hard it is to put all those pennies into those little paper holders??? Sorry for the rant, just venting a bit.

[GTS LAID]

unless you're dying to get this kit it shouldn't be any of your concern... and if you were dying to get the kit then contact Bo directly... his IM is B0licious

i have emailed him sice the last time we had this discussion, what do you think I was told??? NADA!!! I personally love that kit and I want it now!!! IT is definetly the cleanest kit and the only one that take the lines of the celica and does not destroy the beauty of it. But I would like to see some info and details on the eventual release date. Is that too much to ask??? You got me all hard and now you dont want to give it up??? Tease!!!

The Blown kit is in the works. The designs are finished and the building of the kit has yet to start for sure. As far as the hoods, we ran into the problem of the time table. I am working with World Racing in the developement of everything. And both groups get swamped with our daily work let alone side projects like this. I asked everyone that wanted to be onthe mailing list to email me. I added everyone. I also told everyone that prices were not established for the kit. So what happens? I get swamped with emails asking for prices. WTF? Doesn't anyone read anymore, or just look at pictures and send emails. I dunno. the only peeps that I have been in contact with on a semi regular basis are the Blown hood customers. I started asking everyone to keep everything that I sent to them in private and to them selves. So what happens? They post on the bard exactly what I asked them not to. So I have limited the amount of info released on the kit until the thing is finally made (this spring). The hoods are getting made now. No one said anything about a Blown kit being ready by February. The hoods were slated for release then. Once again.... reading is fundamental. Only fall back on the hoods is setting up paymet. We were looking setting up a business paypal account for the last month. We tried it and hated it. So now we're just going to set up a credit card account through World, and have payment available through the website.

I have yet to collect money from anyone, so I'm not ripping anyone off.

Ps here's the final designs of the cf hoods

First you make no sense in half the crap you said in your previous posts.

Second, you're always negative towards me and my kit, so drop the lines. I don't care if you buy it or not. I never made any promises to you. I never promised anyone anything. I owe you nothing. You got your own hopes up, if you feel that way.

Third, I have been on this site long before you knew what VVTLi stands for. I showed off the idea to all my friends on this site. most of them asked me to have it made. I'm on my clock with this project. Not yours. I'm not making this kit to get rich. I designed this kit because it brings to things together that I love: Design ad my car. If there's an opportunity to share it with others, great. That's what I'm going to try to do.

Forth, you know nothing of me or this project but what you see in a few pictures, so i would appreciate that you keep your flames to yourself until you actually have a concept on what is really going on with my project.


To everyone else..... thanks for all the added support and knowledge dropped on the ones that think that I was put on this earth to serve them.

Thanks for the info, the pic of the hood is unavailable.
