    Awwww c'mon! We were planning to be buying Steve Jobs out of Apple with the profits

    I do know Alpine made no money on their kits - and our plan was always to cover costs while making a bunch of Isuzu drivers grin like idiots rather than apply retail margins.

    We have sunk about $16K into this so far.......and Alpine still owe us intake pipes and fuel rails, which they have been promising for months.

    We will get there! Regarding shipping if a few guys in the US end up wanting them I reckon something could be worked out that wouldnt involve dropping the pants & bending over....
    The answer is more power! What was the question?

    Ah, Alpine made you a promise.... give up. They made me promises for roughly 3 years. A promise that has never been fulfilled.

    I was one of the few that bought it way back when first offered by Tone. I believe it was like $3200. Of course, it sat for many years in a box in my basement till I decided to go ahead and install it. All has been great.... though I can't find a decent boost gauge. Been through 2 already and just not happy with them.
