Re: TAKING ORDERS: Cosworth 56mm & 57mm Pistons for 2016
OK, here's what I will work on over the next few weeks, in this order:
1). Get the details sorted with Cosworth
2). Get The orders locked in and placed with Cosworth
3). Get rings ordered from Germany
4). Get Rods ordered from Carrillo
5). Create a Parts List for everyone to start to source their parts - or I can just start sourcing all parts for everyone if you prefer
6). Create a "To-Do" list on all prep work necessary between now and the build
7). Create "How To" pages on my website for how to do much pf the above mentioned prep work.
8). Create some "Pay Pages" for things like Porting, Cam Timing, and other super-secret mods that I do for Horsepower.
9). Start to plan the "Build Trip" to the UK
* Need to choose location in UK
* Need to arrange flights
* Need to arrange place to stay (any 400GB guys want to put me up?)
* Need to lock in a workshop area that can support a large group of us to build engines.
I am sure there is more, but this is a start.

Shit. I guess I should have gone and robbed a bank. Can I trade you a set of pistons and rods for a Ducati?

I haven't heard a peep from anyone. I definitely haven't seen any money transferring over. Did everyone lose interest?
This is why this will be the very last time I do this. It's just too much effort to round up the cash when it's time. I spent the last several weeks going back and forth with Cosworth to get all the details ironed out, and get a new quote, etc. I certainly hope everyone that expressed interest originally is serious, and puts their money where their mouth is.
Please make an effort to get payment to me ASAP so I can get the piston order in motion. Cosworth are standing by right now.
Cheers,

Hi Mike.
Sorry for delay, just trying to start to catch up on personal emails. Work has been crazy busy.
Thanks again for all your hard work.
I'm sure others also feel as grateful for all your efforts in developing the NC's & this latest endeavour.
Will be emailing you off forum later when kids give me a chance. Just bear with me as just needed to find a moment to myself to think straight let alone bank these levels of funds.
Cheers
