Default New Website, Updated Line Locks, and new Stuff

Hey all, I finally got a new website up!!!



And here's some newer stuff:

First off I've teamed up with a gentleman (you all know who he is) to offer custom switch panels direct to you, completely customizable in an extremely wide array of configurations and pretty much any engraving or logo you want.

http://www.fastbirdperf.com/C5/SwitchPanels.htm



As for my line locks........I've got some improvements.

First up, is the crossover tube that connects to the master cylinder for most of the kits. Originally this was being produced as a stacked fitting set, but through some very diligent and patient searching on my part, and some sweet talking of a brake hardware vendor, I've found the correct part and gotten a business account with them, so I now have a factory style connection to the master cylinder. The original is on the left, and my new line is on the right as seen below.



A nice by-product of this is that it allows me to make a tighter bend coming off the master cylinder giving more clearance from the Washer Reservoir and any other lines or proportioning valves.

And lastly, a new option on the kits. A line lock faceplate that replaces the ash tray in your car, but gives an attractive mounting option for the switch that comes with the kit. This is a simple $10 option, and if you've already ordered a kit from me, let me know if you want one. These come either plain, or with a C5 or ZO6 logo engraved on them.


The best part??? My line lock kits, for the month of June are

ON SALE!!!!!!

Normally $165 shipped for the normal kit and $175 shipped for the kit with a switch plate, I'm discounting them as follows:

$140 Shipped -- Standard Full Kit
$150 Shipped -- Full kit with Switch Mounting Plate




Other Notes:

I'm still trying to get my hands on a C6 to build a kit, and I'm still looking for a 97-98 with the rear mounted ABS Pump to develop a kit for those guys also. I'm in the St. Louis area so if you're local and fit the bill, or know someone that does, a free line lock is in it for you for allowing me to guinea-pig your car.

Also, I'm working on an F45 delete Sim kit as not all people have access to a Tech II or dealer who knows the process, and the current kits out there are WAY overpriced. I should have development of this completed by the end of June with pricing projected to be in the $35-45 SHIPPED range for the kit.

Very cool. If I still had the ash tray (double din swap) I would buy nitrous and linelocks just so I could use your panels
