Default Static X Motorsports Away until May 30th

We're going on a trip until May 30th to come up with a full business plan for this company. I have a few investors who will be going with us in order to make this company what we've dreamed it to be. Huge updates coming up:

We just spent over $1000 with Ben Fried (Reality Design, LLC./IWS Owner) to implement a new catalogue design for our website! It will be MUCH MORE user friendly, professional, and will have ZERO glitches unlike the OSC catalogue we were using before. More features like "wish list", better storage, faster searching, etc will be available. The website's catalogue will have to be remade from scratch and that will allow us to fill it with more items and properly keep up with inventory and what not to better serve you. From just the back side features (our end) there are millions of features that will all us to better serve you and potential wholesalers (As it allows for wholesale accounts as well) with ease.

We have orders in place for Perrin, Invidia, Cobb and Seibon to ship as soon as we get back, those items will be posted here for people to see and you can add to it or take something that is on its way. All items posted here will BE IN STOCK before being posted. Stuff will still run out, but we will not rely on drop shipping anymore. There are too many problems and too much hassle with this and the customer deserves better. All items ordered will be shipped the same day they are ordered (As long as UPS is open... we're there). So we will have a much faster shipping service/system available when the store reopens.

Manufacturing. We hope to have our new Lightweight Crank Pulley (Dark Chrome, Cryotreated, Weighs less than a lb, balanced to a thousandth of an inch) ready for when we come back, along with our GT30R turbo kits. Look for new products coming up as we have a lot of plans for upcoming Static X Motorsports products.

Stickers. Stickers, banners, etc will be available to customers who want them (lol as we get asked this all the time). We also plan on making some high quality t-shirts and what not as well.

Machining. We have over $50,000 (some already here) in machinery coming to make products. From pipe benders, to lathes, to anything/everything to make any part you can imagine. Want a custom turbo kit? Want a custom dress up part? We are going to work on making all of this possible.

Opening to the public. We are working on hiring a staff (man is this tough finding the right people) that will be family and/or christian-oriented that will treat each customer kindly and fairly, in order to not only make modding your car fun again, but make it an enjoyable and rewarding experience. We estimate a new store front in a few months. Our 6000+ SQFT warehouse will be used in the time being for some installs and modifications and storage. Pictures to come of this soon when we have the lift installed.

Static X Mod of the Week. This program did not die, but was simply halted due to new vendor rules. We are going either post all of the write ups in the vendor build up thread or in the platinum forum. This will be more up to Kevin and Ben. We'll see. But there will be write ups to help our customers and fellow enthusiasts from coilovers to FMICs to intakes to exhaust systems. We will cover any and everything to better help you understand the mod you are doing and to help with your own modificaiton.

There is quite a bit more, but that will come later as soon as I have a better idea of our solid gameplan. I know this for sure... there will be a much better system for shipping parts as that has been our biggest complaint/hassle and we completely understand and are going to eliminate this.

Look for us sponsoring events this summer and have a great summer we hope to bring you the best car part buying experience you will ever have. Thanks again for all the support from our friends and supporters and we will do our best to make this all a reality. Thank you and look for new products being added to our vendor forum.

Robert~

So very excited to see the path this company cuts in the upcoming years and months. Without a doubt, Robert being the class act guy he is, this company will succeed in every imaginable way.

I haven't been a member for long but from what I've read on the board it looks like you guys are headed in the right direction. It's really refreshing to see other Christians in the sport too. Honestly, I don't see that many.

Pretty cool!

Good luck Robert et al.
