John,

The first couple orders we did for Renntech included the bolt on front pulley. They have recently informed us that they would like a larger diameter bolt on front pulley for more boost, which we are currently building. We hope to have these new damper / pulley versions ready to ship in about 3 weeks.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks.

Well sweet. I wonder if anyone is going to come out with a bigger one that is lighter as well? I'm wondering if the VRP wrap doesn't become a necessity with the larger pulleys?

You like the check, huh? I'm friggin upset. AFter the check bounces twice and my bank puts a hold on it, he texts me and says the funds are ready. What good does that do me now? At least BofA is stepping up and forwarding it to collection.

no experience with them except they seem to have borrowed our look and feel and font for "evo" - when Simon and I first saw that many years ago we were like "damn" - oh well, what are you going to do!

They used to be at the bottom of RennTech's site and now, there is no mention of them on it. BUT, their distributors are the same as RennTech's. Go figure. I thought someone said Adam was the US distributor for them and Oliver himself had gone there? What up, homes??

But check out my link. Adam isn't even on their list. Creative and Ken are. LOL, it looks like Harmut is the odd man out. I've never dealt with Oliver, so I don't know how cool he is.

EVO is always EVOsport.

WTF?!?! Cold and wrong! What'd your lawyer say?

I can't say that part, but I am supposed to get a cashier's check to handle the refund. We'll see about making the car right. I'm done playing the simple mistake route.

Rocket: I guess we'll never find out, since I'm done "asking" for anything.

As far as RennTech/EVOtech I don't really care. RennTech had so much potential.
