    Maybe presenting similar projects you've done for scoobs would help churn up interest. Have you ever organized a 3S group buy where you collected money up front? SO many of these deals go south.

    There's a reason these style SMICs haven't been big hits in the past. You're not the first to think of this and neither was russian.

    God the 3S market is turrible!!1

    I'd love to do new SMICs - don't care for a front-mount - but price is tough, and so are the times.

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    I'm bitching and surprised because there was an outright bidding war on my old sidemounts between 5 individuals. I actually think two people are not on speaking terms now because of it. I was asked to reproduce them. Two individuals have stepped forward, I'm looking for 3 more.

    Have I ever collected any money for a group buy and been entrusted with large sums of money from board members? Yes, I have. I collected over $15,000 for carbon fiber / fiberglass doors. Stas, Andre, Erron , Self.

    I've been entrusted with checks totaling over $20,000 dollars prior to work commencement from Erron S, and another $40,000 from J. Elkins.

    In the past 3 years I've sold and had direct responsibility of over $100,000 from a total of 8 members on this board alone. There's stuff going on all the time its just nobody talks about it because some believe in privacy and non disclosure.

    So no money in 3S?

    You know there is another forum with more members to draw interest from?

    That which he is banned from. 3.1L + 19Ts are the best! Porsche V8 twin turbo copied dyno graph didn't get Mr. Drmbldr too far. Someone else would have to advertise it there and last I checked autoforums throws a fit on 3SI even for group buys without a sponsorship. Sadly enough most of the interest would probably be over there.
