Default Feeler: SFR Fuel injector harness GB

This is a feeler for a group buy on a replacement fuel injector harness. Tim at SFR (Rennlist Sponsor) will be making these for us at an unbeatable price. $119 will be the cost, and I have been promised that they will be WAY better quality than the others out there. They can also be made in a few different colors. For those of you that want to know why you should replace your harness, check out the pic I supplied. If anyone needs any more information, please post up your question in this thread. This is a feeler thread to see if we can get enough people to make this happen. (Which shouldn't be a problem!)

Here is a pic of MPD47's harness. I checked one of mine by cutting the rubber shroud off, and one of the wires was bare in a spot. I have not had any problems with it yet, but I see how this could cause an issue!

How does the SFR harness compare to the new Lindsey?

As far as price? LR sells theirs for $159 I believe. As far as quality? I have not seen either harness, but I am told that the SFR will be better then LR's because of something Tim does to prevent the ends from fraying. I am sure he will chime in with a more technical answer.

Guys I HIGHLY recommened this to EVERYONE. This caused me to burn out a brand new set of 72# Siemens injectors and have various other issues on my car. If you arent going to replace the entire harness (because well, most arent as bad as mine was) I suggest this as a bare minimum maintenance item! (Like new fuel hoses, though honestly I think the Lindsey Rail is your best bet).

Were these available before Lindsey's harnesses? I didn't realize that SFR made these harnesses until this post. How are they better than Lindsey's units?

Thanks,
Jon

How soon could this happen? I'd take these as quick as Tim could ship them.

Hmm. Been wanting to buy a test pipe from Tim anyway. Might as well make a big box of it.
