I have been pushing them to make sure no time is wasted simply because I have another track event this month and I want my suspension finished (finally). With that in mind I am putting the list as I see it so far. Then it can be cut and pasted or what ever is needed. I am in no way affiliated other than same as everybody on the list; I want my toy upgrade!!

Just got off of the phone with them (Ground control) and they without mentioning any names wanted me to tell everybody to BE PATIENT! The kit will be released very soon.
Beta testing the product is a bitch I guess, but there are some of you out there somewhere doing it aren't you?  |

Without mentioning names; Gee let me guess...  !
Well maybe if they would get some real time answers from suppliers. Depending on who you spoke to dictates the answer you received. Status of the kit shipping has nothing to do with Beta testing any more, it's all about one part missing that they don't manufacture. A part by the way(M_rk-without mentioning names) said thought might be in today! Patients is a virtue, for the first four months of hearing, "two weeks- two more weeks"! Then patients slips into insanity!
Hurry up and wait, and be patient about it!
As his insanity slowly slipped in he quietly rolled his eyes to dream of his upcoming track day on May 26th, yet there was a  feeling fogging up what should be a dream only on  , is it possible his suspension would be fixed in time  or will he be  because he didn't buy those headers that have been on hold for way too long! |

To be fair to GC, it is *possible* that they want to see my car. I installed the kit and haven't made it their way for their review. I was the first FG2 beta tester - not sure if there are more.
I'm just back from vacation with the family, and know I'll have a mountain of work to catch up on at the shop. That being said, I hope to be in their neck of the woods Saturday the 13th. I'll drop by and have them review for any issues they might see.
Later,

I have left several messages for GC, almost daily for a week. I did not make it to their place since they have not called me back. I was more than willing to go - as I went over the hill anyway.
The message I keep leaving is GO! GO! GO! Everything is a GO! from my end.
Not sure what more I can do to help. I've left my cell phone, home phone, and work phones and emailed them several times as well.
Sorry, wish I could do more.

Thanks Wildwhl for everything you have done already. I think I speak for everyone when I say I believe the ball is totally in GC's court now and you have gone above and beyond the call of duty, (being the guinea pig, etc.) Thanks again, from one young forum member who will benefit in the future from your diligence.

WW | I think your little mishap spooked them  . |

The little mishap might have spooked them, but I have the parts that fix that in my posession. Besides, with instructions, my mishap would not have occurred. It only happened because I was guessing at some of the steps, and not paying attention to something important.
I don't think they have much excuse at this point.

But not a day goes by I don't check this site for the good news that I hope will come soon! Let's all think good thoughts. |

(note to self, do not wash, clay bar, and wax the car on Monday night only to be caught in a thunderstorm Tuesday afternoon  )
I also had one of those opportunities to show posi-traction in action, two nice lines all the way through first and into second. I'd guess 50+ ft. or so. No wheel hop. Some days she does, and some days she doesn't. Dry, hot pavement with the GSD3's showing about 40 psi after a drive. This type of fun should be against the law...oh...that's right...it is
