i think he may bring it back someday though
and im really impressed you have an sti and are still working on these old cars.
although i dont think the cav fits in
No it's sounds like Sean is done with 3G's period and this board.........
I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
the way he expressed was that he is done with 3G. he is moving on to another projects.

what kinda stuff was on there? did he have stuff we really couldnt get otherwise?
prolly just the GM ECU setup. it could be replicated..., but sean knows everything needed to do it. other than that, we can prolly still get everything, it'll prolly be just a bit more expensive than through sean.

Sean is still around. Yes, accordcentral will come back, but the way of ordering things will change. Currently Sean is working on a way to automate the procurement of things - that is all I know. Usually he has to, for example, do all the port, polish, etc on a head package by himself by hand; this usually takes between 14-18 hours of labor time.
Don't worry he will return. As to standing orders, that is Sean' business.
if accord central doesn't make a comeback (i believe it will), someone here will take that position and offer parts for us... i've been thinking about it myself, but i don't want to step on sean's toes... i'd offer items similar to sean's business sells, but i'm very into suspension, so i would get some options for us there, too... right now he needs a good break from it all so he can put things into prospective and see what he can do... IMHO, he jumped in the deep end, not knowing if he could swim out or not... the man is seriously busy, not to mention a perfectionist... if it's not PERFECT, he won't ship it... that's why i liked sean... if he backs out, someone will take his place... you can count on that...
they way accordcentral worked was that it listed what they had. But in reality they had to make it from the parts you send them to get u the part u ordered, it could have taken weeks to months and some are going as long as 5 months. So that was a flaw with accordcentral. Its not that there were no buyers. Eventually there would have been many. But its just the way business was conducted, and the customer reviews were harsh and the board members kinda sat back. So thats how it ended.
