Would you pay $7,200 for a milspec harness that comes faulty and inoperable and looks like it was wired by someone blind. The harness came and did not work, cam and crank signal wires were crossed. power wires in ground locations. I'm surprised the car didn't melt to the ground with their harness.
Take a look at the boot with all the exposed wires and failed attempt at service loops. Also lots of extra length and some wires too short to reach sensors looks bad installed

Maybe they took the word milspec literally. I would totally expect that quality from defense contractors

wow, that’s pretty shocking. Hopefully they made everything right on this, I know they have been getting more buzz in the air cooled community and it’s important for people to know who are going to spend that kind of $$ on their products. Thanks for sharing

Wow on the harness! Did you have any specific issues with the ITB's?

That's some horrible workmenship! Consider yourself fortunate that it's discovered now instead of during a road trip. I'd be concerned that harness will forever be the source of electrical gremlins.

Rasant had a very impressive stand at RSRVI - several extremely nice motors on display with all of the accompanying propaganda Unfortunately based on the pictures posted above, there is a dark void between the marketing and production departments. I'm glad that you identified the issue and saved your client's car. Shocking.
