Default official GROND update request thread!

ok EG, where is the updates? I dont think I am the only one wondering what has been going on with GROND? I think we have all ate alot of waiting for you to amaze us with some more of your talents and hard work going into GROND. I know your busy with the new shop, but we cant forget about GROND.
Anyone else interested?

A few months ago I posed a similar request.

Steven responded - provided pictures of Grond sitting at the back of the shop, taken apart and neglected.

Steven promised, however, that Grond would appear at the '08 CI - even if he had to tow her there (at least that is better than the '06 CI where Grond had to be towed home!).

Not much has changed over the last 6 months.

Spending time on customer cars has a way of doing that.

Aw, that's not nice bringing up painful memories like that!

But then again, it IS time to move on - and post another chapter!

I just returned this afternoon from dropping off my 2000 Vert at EG, and grond was at the back of the shop, still in pieces-parts, but Stephen showed me some of the goodies on the car. What a rolling piece of engineering sculpture. He is putting on AR headers/x-pipe/hi-flow cats on mine, along with a whiplash cam. I fly back down in two weeks to pick it up. I'm on pins and needles waiting for it. Amazing talent, that guy.

I think he's backed up on Whiplash installs. I believe he's ordering these cams by the dozen now. Hopefully I'll have mine next week!
