    3 more

    We have 7 Boys scouts home and 3 are still in the woods hunting for snipes!


    A better way of putting it is "We have 7 men that walk the talk" we need 3 more to put there big boy pants on... that's it! and we will start this going.

    O BTW Ksport gets all your money not me...if it does not work out Ksport refunds you your money and me my money...whats that...yes I have to put up money also!

    In short this is why this has not happened before people talk the talk but when its time to walk the walk no one wants to...I have worked a deal out with the 7 that have made the commitment and if they all pull the trigger on this deal we will happen for them at this price...this will leave us 3 sets that I am sure I will sell after everyone gets theirs...at a higher cost :)

    I have spent 1 1/2 days on this deal, time is money!

    Below is a copy of how Ksports products are read it!

    Civic Destroys All. Ksport owns Firebird Raceway

    Listen_To_This. A month or so ago, Tage Evanson, a local/regional time attack and time trial racer called us up and wanted to talk about suspension parts for his Civic. Usually requests like this are taken lightly, and they have to be, because KSport gets hundreds of requests for sponsorships every week--seriously--and it really takes up a lot of time to determine what's worth it, what isn't, etc. Picking and choosing is tough, so often we'll just avoid the conversation all together, or set aside large chunk of time on a weekend to sift through all the proposals and decide who gets a call back and who doesn't. Tage is based out of Phoenix, just like KSport, and given that he won the 2007 Super Lap Battle and stole the track record away from HASport, who had it for years, we were more than interested in working with him and his Civic. We'll get into more of Tage's accomplishments, later. Last weekend was the first time up for Tage and his Civic with the new KSport suspension. What that entails is literally and off the shelf Kontrol Pro kit with stiffer different spring rates. No changes to dampening, shock length, etc. Anyone could buy this kit for their EG Honda Civic. The track for the first test was Firebird Intl. Raceway's "West Course", located about 20-minutes southeast of KSport's headquarters in Phoenix. This event was running with the National Autosports Association (NASA) under their strict, nationally-sanctioned Time Trial rulebook. Within that series there are nine classes; the Civic runs in the "TTS" Class, which is the 3rd quickest. (TTR is fastest, then TTU, then TTS..). Tage won his class on the first day out. Actually, his best lap was set in the first session of the day, first time ever on KSports. Looking deeper, Tage beat the TTS track record for Firebird Raceway, with a time of 1:01.39. It doesn't end there. Remember how I said there are two faster classes above the Civic in the NASA Time Trial ranks? Tage beat all those guys too. The TTU record is a 1:01.56, and the unlimited TTR class record is a 1:02.41. What that simply means is, Tage set the fastest lap ever on Firebird West for a NASA event, and that is the all-out FWD lap record for Firebird West as well. We'll just say it again.. The fastest FWD car to ever set foot (or, tire) on Firebird Raceway's West course, was using off the shelf KSports. In addition to that, Brady Dohrmann in his BMW M3 set the TTC lap record of 1:05.303. Jeremy Renshaw's TTB class record from 2008 still stands as well, and he was on KSports. Of the nine NASA classes to participate on that track, three of the lap records were set on KSport suspension.

    Nice. Brandon is patiently waiting for the funds. Brandon and K-Sport are very excited in making this happen for the Jeep community.

    I am going to say one thing here. The owners of this forum have all that join here, everyone's best interest in mind!

    Branden is super excited to see this actually happen because thay have been down this road several times with well it going nowhere. I hope that after this happens people will realize how well built and durable all the Ksport products are.

    I posted videos of Ksport cars at Donnington, Laguna, Neurburg and Firebird to show that they are not a hole in the wall company but a true contender in the suspension world.

    one down 6 to go

    Our biggest obstacle over on the jeep site is directing people to this site. We can start threads about it and tell everyone that this can happen but we cannot post a direct link or even metion this site over there.

    That's because the ownership there are a bunch of whining, sniveling, scared we'll put them out of business whimps...

    Cause we all know that these forums are top secret and all. hahaha

    It would cost me 450 to become a member on that site just dont know if that is worth it until I have parts for the Jeep in hand already made that mistake once. But when their made and getting installed then people can post as much as they want!

    I have accounts on those site but do not want to post and then get the threads shut down...Maybe the ole PM me for more information game...not sure I will think about a way around it...what about medic would he help direct some people over here?

    I structured the deal with 10 (the minimum I have to buy) but 7 will work and I am sure I will be able to sell the other 3 sets. as long as everyone gets what they want, the way they want, the time frame they want and are Happy is all I give a flying (****) through a rolling doughnut :)
