i dont know tbh.. u know how u sometimes just get a 'feeling' lol.. fancy phoning and see what he says? im sick trying...

Phoned larini and dave is not in today who is dealing with the group buy. Will try again tomorrow and try and get some insight as to where they are at.

Interested in one of these.. the video show they have a lovely sound at idle and acceleration ...but how loud are they at cruising speeds / motorway?... can't be doing with a deafening drone... ...and is this group buy now closed or will there be a third one?

When i went out in pauls we didnt go on any motorways but we did go onto a 50mph dual carridge way. It didnt sound droney at all to be honest. It only tends to become really loud once your giving it beans from what i experienced anyway. Maybe a current larini owner will know better and comment.
The group buy finished on the 20th for this one. But as you rightly say there is scope with the people left on the list for another group buy some time in july i think it was that people wanted to leave it till.
Hope this helps

To be honest at the normal cruising speeds 70 mph on motorways only!!! (or whatever your normal cruising speed is ) the car is, if anything, quieter than it was previously. Just a deep growl. That is until you push the fast pedal and then the exhaust just comes alive with the ferocious deep ressonance that increases in tone the higher the revs get.

Awww crap I really want one now.... thanks for the replies guys... I'll guess I'll have to wait and see if there's a round 3...

Soon as it comes on boost on the VXT the tone gets even deeper throaty sound and I love. Been driving it all week to work about 50mile round trip each day most of it daul carrage way 50-70 mph and cruising speed is about the same as before. Pop, pop, pop, burrble, pop, pop grrrrrrrrrrrrr, grrrrrrrrr, grrrrrr lol that my bad attempt at a sound clip

just a bit annoyed since he said it would definately be here last saturday

[MY04VXT]

I am waiting for mine still!! I havn't bothered to phone because you have been doing that for me p.s the money came out of my account quick enough

[justin182]

when did you order? hopefully they will appear this week

[p4cks]

This must be slightly worrying for you guys, but they seem like a professional outfit to me and I would doubt they are out to rip anyone off. OK so their customer service skills aren't great but when dealing with 99% the automotive industy, when are they? Hold tight, its worth the wait! :-P

[justin182]

yeah, im getting a bit annoyed now.. No word back from him, no idea when we're getting them.. No way to run a company imo

[justin182]

tried phoning again today, and seems he has the fax machine turned on....

Same here mate. Tried him a few times but it goes to answer phone after one ring.

This is taking the p*ss now,theyve been quick enough to take the cash but wont return a call out of courtesy.

[mja182]

Just spoken to dave at larini just now. He is aware that they are behind due to the *bender* being broken but he sounded confident that they should be shipped this week. To be on the safe side i would say that people should recieve them early next week now to be honest.

[justin182]

this is bollocks.. last time i spoke to dave, over a week ago, he told me they were just getting polished up and gettting ready to be sent.. so why another week?!

[mja182]

He did say some may get them this week. However i wouldnt hold your breath to be honest as you would be setting yourself up for a fall if it doesnt arrive. Maybe the next group buy lot should have a late deliv. discount clause arranged for the next order.
