More than 10 people were on the buy list which he said was the threshold for a production run. After a long gap of no communication, people got discouraged and dropped out when nothing happened.

Just look at the Weapon R manifold (which is $700 by the way), and the nearly zero sales it generated for the xB market.

Wow, I didn't know that they actually came up with a Scion product. Have to take a look at it.

But hey... someone's gotta do it.

Looks like the torch has now been passed on to me.

Today makes exactly two months elapsed time to produce one tooter prototype that's ready to bolt onto the engine...
