As you guys are now aware, I have pulled the plug on the BD campaign (for several reasons, none of which needs to be re-hashed). Our friends over at KA-t.org have followed suit.
My only regret in this whole process is, that I did not get a chance to place a call to PJ and tell him yesterday, I had some urgent business come up that couldn't be delayed.
Let's all remember that this was a HUGE undertaking for PJ (or any startup business). So while some things didn't go as we (or he) would have liked, I harbor no ill will, nor should you guys. It's a done deal, and I wish PJ the best.
I appreciate everyone's loyalty and I SINCERELY appreciate the trust and respect you all extend to my Moderators.
We're not perfect, but I am COMMITTED to making sure our members are taken care of, and our new sponsor has been chomping at the bit to take GREAT care of our KA-t needs.
The KA-t comunity, IMO, is JUST getting started, and I believe it will literally EXPLODE in the next 6-12 months, you guys are making believers out of the SR / RB guys.
Oh, I almost forgot....
Please extend a warm welcome to Import AutoPerformance (
http://www.import-autoperformance.com). I'll spare you the lengthy introductions, but I've known Mark for about two years, and he's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to boosting the KA24.
IAP brings to the KA-t community moderately-priced, quality kits, a special NICO MEMBER DISCOUNT , awesome customer service, good communication, upgradeability, standardized fittings, flanges, downpipes and mounts (yay!) and support after the sale.
Mark has been hounding me to let him take over the KA-t sponsorship for nearly a year, and I'm proud to have him aboard.
Please take a moment to pop in on their website and peruse the product line.
As your CEO, I have taken the "leap of faith" and placed my order for a Stage 1 kit for NICO's Project Vert.
Welcome Mark and IAP to the NICO family!
