Why would Techart take a chance like that, it's just sad.

Did the case of the stolen engines you helped recover a few years back finish running it's course yet? At the time you couldn't give us all the details but I was wondering if the guilty parties and such could be named now. thanks, -Chris

austin552,
Do you know of any other sources? I trust most stuff that I read on this forum, but I have a hard time believing information that I read on the web these days unless its from multiple reliable sources. Interesting news, but I'd like to see some more information/details from a few German sources. -Matt

Less brakes, more gas!

In German:
http://www.stuttgarterzeitung.de/stz/page/detail.php/1437597 http://www.manager-magazin.de/unternehmen/artikel/0,2828,486205,00.html Links From the Final Gear board... I translated it and it says about the same stuff... but, I don't speak German anymore... As far as I can tell, they do not have all the facts yet and it may be that TechArt simply ordered some engines and got funny stuff, or they may have been playing a dangerous game... Lets wait and see before judging  Best regards, Michael

if the facts are correct, the thing that gets me is, if it were my business and I recieved a scetchy/wrong order, you
A. immediatly refuse recipt B. Call police if it seems shady C. Call shipper and see what's up right away. -You don't dis-assemble or hold the parts in your shop unless you are in on the gig right???-not for a big buck engine that's for sure.. |

Whatever happens, TechArt is screwed. Maybe they could start tuning ricers.
