I know everyone will tell me not to hold my breath, and I get it, these have been on backorder for a very long time. But, I talked to the guy at RARE two days ago and he said he was very confident that they will have them in about 6 weeks. They have 300 left side on the shelf and are waiting on the right side. I have a set on order. We'll see.

That's different than what he told me. But, whatever, they'll be ready when they're ready. At least it sounds like it could be soon. LOL.

Don’t hold your breath. I was told in Sept. 22 that they would be ready Jan 23. I called in Feb and was told April. I got on the list around #245. I talked to an engine builder who also had the same delayed info but from earlier in 22. I heard also that the foundry wants atleast 1000 orders to begin production. So take this for what it’s worth, I sourced another set to get my engine off the build moving towards completion. Sounds like we’re being stringed along.

I spoke to him 2 weeks ago. I got put under the impression it was gonna be soon. I've had a round port set on order since Sept of 21 and D ports on order since Sept of 22. FINGERS CROSSED!

So what gives here? Theres an Ebay listing in Prescott Arizona for second gen round ports? Pont5681 I think was his handle. And it says he still had 5 more available? Now on Pauls website it says the D ports are here? I was supposed to get a phone call when they were ready, he told me that over and over. Did he sell them for more profit? I would not have minded an increase of course. I wanted to give my money to him. Not so sure now. I'm gonna call him tomorrow.

I received a set of round ports today. They are RARE's. I sent the money to Arizona but were shipped from Illinois where RARE is located. I don't know whats going on but I now only need a set of D ports.
