Why can't you just show up unannounced and pick up your crap? It is your
crap after all.

It looks like the 915's can be rebuilt to take 500hp
if need be..
The engine is stock 260hp, so I can maybe tune it up
to 300hp. A run of the mill 915 will be OK for that.
If I decide to supercharge it or something crazy, I
can always beef up the 915 at a later date. (is the
915 LSD?, can it be made LSD?)
I was close to my budget on this project, but if I
take a loss on my engine, trans, the money I paid this
guy already for the custom bell housing, AND the
insurance on the car for the past 3 years it has not
moved out of the garage, my budget it blown. If I
ignore the "loss" on this guy disappearing, then I'd
still like to keep the project in the 5-6K range.
Dammit, I wish this guy would just let me come pick up
my crap! The bell housing was almost done last time I
saw it, and would need very little to complete it.
