The Kiesler posts got killed on CF? Seems a little traitorous, they were CF sponsors for years, and I guess when they tried to defend themselves, they got dumped.

I think you have it backwards, the thread at CF got locket to protect the guilty ...Shafi Keisler
Can somebody shine some light on why Keisler is a BS company? Maybe they got worse since I dealt with them in 2006???? Back then their TKO kit was $4200 which is about $800 more than the parts are if you piecemeal it together and buy stuff on sale here and there, shop Ebay etc ..... That's what you pay if you want a complete and well fitting kit from one supplier and all the parts at one time ....
When I bought their kit I was tired of mesding with that stuff and I just had that 383 built... I wanted to drive the car so I paid the premium price for their kit.
Again, no issues, I thought they really had their together....
Well I am not going to rehash everything for the previous years as there are lots of threads on the subject to be found even though savewave did remove a good many of them to help support Keister.
But you could ask a few of the 500+ that have recently lost out not to mention many of them that were told lies for the past year + that they would get there kits.
Almost forgot there most famous excuse. It is all Bush's Fault.

Take a look at the economy man, 06 was height of the housing bubble, people were building/fixing houses like MAD, now the only area that housing has not totally collapsed is in the grossly overpaid Wash DC/Maryland/NOVA region....the rest of the country is suffering.....and so is the demand for aftermarket conversions for old vettes/muscle cars.....I BET VBP sales are 1/2 today what they were in 06, certainly in quantity, and surely prices are UP too.....so looking at gross receipts meaningless in this case....

I did not spend time at CF since the shit hit the fan back in 2007 and then DC in 2007/2008 .... Maybe I missed a lot of what was going on with Keisler ....
holy crap.... how can a company that had a decent product, nice guys, good customer service go downhill so bad ???? I guess only the boss-man knows.... LOL
Summit/Jegs sell the TKO for $2200, add the bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, pedals, driveshaft.... maybe $3200 total.... so a "COMPLETE" kit , a "one stop shop" that charges $4000 is really not all that bad, considering the convenience.... too bad in this market you run out of customers quickly.... it's not like somebody owns a 67 Corvette and buys two TKO conversion kits for it..... the market is saturated very quickly....
