Nice! Is this going to be a production item or is it a one off just for your application?

This is for sale now. It is a simple bolt in item using all the same mounting locations as stock. Give RMW a ring for pricing.

The only thing unique for my car is the inlet tube. It is different then stock.

What!!!!! I just spent nearly 4 hours going through all 49 pages amassing a huge expectation of a completed kit and price quote.
Jan your killing me!!!
All is well though, I have a saying, "If it's not right it's not mine." Take your time and get it right. Though it sounds as though it's ready.
I can't wait to pay off my MINI, (not well-to-do like many of you) so I can get a Rotex/Stroker Combo. Whooo!!!!
I'm soon to move from Louisiana to Vegas, the trip to jans from there will be worth it. In fact, I'll get there in time for AMVIV09.

Longboard - I'm fricken envious
- LB are you going to AMVIV?

That's almost too pretty to put on the car. Very nice way to replace the plastic OE crud.

This is not fair. You get the stuff first ( well not really we know where the first 4 went) , post pics, then the bum sends it to me.

Oh it's right and ready. The rest is up to Jan. We have punished this thing for a long time testing and developing it. It's a very solid reliable platform.

A 2.0L with the same or larger Rotrex would equal an amazing power curve from idle to redline. Once my engine dies (or my thinks it died ) Jan is going to build me a mean little 1.8L to bolt up the rotrex to.

No AMVIV for me this year. I'm on stand by to fly to China. We have a very special project at work that requires me their during the first production run. I really don't like going but hey, I just got my new Denon noise canceling headphones for the flight . Take a weekend and come down to Socal. We can go play boy racer in the canyons .

I don't know? Jan stops in and ships things so much half the time I never see him. My warehouse manager considers him part of his staff .

I haven't to to Jan so I don't know about the cam. You reminded me so I'm going to call him and find out.

I want a 2.0L, but a 1.8L with a Rotex will be plenty. I can't wait to get back in the canyons. I lived in Antelope Valley for a few years. In fact, I gotta stop in and say hi to my old SCMM crew.
