If you want in on the harness group buy then give us a call or email to place your order.We will make a list of people who jump in and then we can post the list here and update as needed.Since their is some color variations, we need to figure out how many people want which color.This way we can order the right amount of the sheathing.These harnesses are pretty easy to build so they shouldnt take long to ship once we get the sheathing in.We will run the group buy for two weeks.
About heatshrinking the ends.......if you use some cheap heat shrink then it could be a problem.However,nothing we build is cheap and neither are these harnesses.The heat shrink we use is about 1mm thick and has a special glue inside.It can only shrink a specific amount regardless of what people are saying on here.For example take 1" heatshrink and hit it with your heat gun.it will shrink to about 5/8".Keep applying heat.What happens? Nothing.If you apply enough heat it will melt or burn depending on the qaulity of the shrink used.So hopefully that will ease some peoles minds.Besdies that we have been building these longer then any other Porsche place out there.The picture posted was taken about 5-6 years ago.

"The Lindsey Racing harnass is only $ 119,95!"
I can't decide if that is funny or simply pathetic! It was worth 149.95 two days ago, but now it suddenly is worth 30 bucks less? That suggests only one of a few things to me.
They were gouging for their harness, and got caught by the competition,
or no one wants one enough to pay 149.95.
There is my third thought based on their history around here.
Mean Tim is stealing our business WHAH! WHAH! pathetic!
history suggests it's business as usual over there.

Good to see SFR keeping Lindsey Racing in check from selling products at gross margins! Good work Tim, you get my custom 
I dont like being taken for a ride by ANY vendor, glad to see you are one of the good guys.

It's only too said that you need a group buy to get this price. What is the normal price of the injector harness when not buying within the next 2 weeks and as tconn I would like to know what a full harness would cost?

I talked with a few competition harness builders in Europe about proper end termination of wiring jackets about a year ago, and they all stated that using heat shrink to terminate ends was simply a faster way that was implemented to save labor costs, and that folding the jacket ends in was the preferred, more professional method that would last longer in use. As such, Lindsey's harness gets my money.
As for the pricing, more competition only benefits us all.
