Well to the xr owners here, I would like to say hello to all.. I'v been on the site a bit now, but never posted anything here. I was deployed for about 7 months now, been back trying to get out of the military, and getting ready to go to school for a year in orlando. I have been reading ya'lls threads here and looks like ya'll have been busy trying to find out about Gadets engine progress..well i would say to Gadet your doing a good job at trying to get it built, but from exsperance from myself was doing the same thing for my civic, i sent a cyl. head to cali for a pro. series worked done and it was over a yr and never rec. it! i did the same thing in calling them about it, they said they sent it, i never rec. it after a months time, called again. they said they where redueing another head for me. a months time has gone by, never got anything from them..so last thing i did was i sued them for the cyl head because they were procastinating on sending my head to me. I can understand they might be friends but you got to really put your foot done and say hey your takiing to long, i going to take it back...but i can also understand when u call u can never get a hold of them too! communication is always the key to working with one another as for a buyer and seller getting what they orderd, and making each other happy!

Thanks Gadget on the email about the kit I order from you! I got a ? about the kit for the Mrk III stage I to stage II , I see its the full exhaust system with the x-1 program update... but the new program is different now in the Mrk III......so what are ya'll doing about the program? ....And is it going to still be the same cost for that Stage II system?

The stage 2 upgrade is a complete exhaust from the engine back, 75mm pulley, and a new calibration file for the UCON-EMS

Stage 3 requires the stage 2 upgrade and adds the URD Supplemental Injector System, 70mm pulley and a new calibration file for the UCON-EMS

Was when this thread was started... Almost 2 years later for an engine build... I've probably thrown away crap and wiped my ass with more money than what was spent to sleeve the block in 2 years...

Gadget has some serious patience but when does patience turn into starting over?
