I've noticed we've been cluttering the board up a bit of late with new products, used parts, and general press releases.

So, in the spirit of other 'project' threads, I thought we could make a better effort to confine it here so as not to over proliferate the board.

Without further ado-

KOUmotorsports has been growing rapidly since we went live in January. In an effort to keep up with demand I've gone full time. I'm happy to report I'm no longer attempting to juggle our obligations here with a full time restaurant management position elsewhere. I'm excited that things have exploded so quickly that this happened a good 6 months ahead of schedule though.

We're in the process of expanding our offerings a lot in terms of new products as well as domestic and name brand retail offerings.

For now, we're dealing with all the growing pains of our rapid expansion as we play "catch up" through some late night hours. Hopefully the end result will be more DSM products at better prices and a better base of local support for all of us gear heads.

Congratulations Travis! That's got to be a great feeling finally being able to have your own independent business. If you need an extra hand sometime, give me a ring. I'd be proud to support such an upstanding company. Good luck!

Your doing great! Keep it up and good luck Travis...

awesome, did you get my PM?

congrats travis, glad to hear that your business is doing so well. I wish I was able to help out, but as you know I will be "out of town" (a little counrty called Iraq). good luck, and I will be looking forward to coming home and buying lots of parts from you

hmmm... KOUmotorsports east... middle east... oil.... hmmm... dsm's leak oil.... mwuhahahahahaaaa.

pm sent

DSM5- PM returned

GSXracer- Hopefully you'll be back in town shortly and can stop by to see the new digs.

Marcus, Brett and everyone else- Thanks! I'll feel better when we're a bit more caught up and the signs are painted, etc. I'm still getting used to having my voicemail box get pegged if I don't review it twice a day.

I have to say that it's nice not to have to wait till midnight to start pulling engines though. (Ironic to type that at 3:30 am though I suppose.)

congrats man, any chance you'll be getting that datalogger to work anytime soon???

We've been plagued with some hardware and software issues on our 2G tuning package here. 3 installs of tunerstein on 2 computers. One version of Pocketlogger not working for some reason. I'm about ready to just buy a new and complete package directly from Pocketlogger to solve things.

Our 1G tuning has been relatively hassle-free.

We should have the wideband set-up ready to transfer from car to car shortly which should provide an interim crutch there.

Frustratingly enough, the base 2G tuning package has been a surprising hurdle though for some reason.

so with all this free time. whens frankenstien gonna run???

Free time. HahahhahHAHHAHHAHA

Some day I'll have some of that.

As to Frankenstein running, how could I ever have such a fast shelf with the parts properly installed on the car?


I still predict the car eventually getting sold off piecemeal sometime in 2008.
