selling my slot for A case. (#5) I believe. I was told it will be a late sept. production. I no longer need the case so I might as well try to pass along to another member. if it does not sell now, I will sell for more ounce I receive it.

$5,500

please contact me and Adam for any questions.

thanks
Scott

To Winders point, and the point of this new development in this thread, they didn't discontinue the first line. They just became known as Mezger and that more durable line of engines (even though more expensive to produce) continued on, now (as you pointed out) in the GT2/GT3 and Turbo.

At least that was my understanding.
Erm ....

I paid for mine in Nov last year.. Was promised a case by end of August then sept. and so on.... Adam told me he had made 5 cases if I recall and he said he sold them all to rothsport racing as he found a foundry to make a nicer " looking case" he said jeff didn't mind being they were for race engines.... I said mine was for a race engine and asked why I wasn't given a opportunity to take one as I wanted for a race engine as well. just excuse after excuse..

Not sure what slot I am in but Adam needs to realize things change once you take
Peoples money
E mail worked just fine to take the money should also work for updates about delays
Not that it is easy to make theses cases and stuff happens
Just let us know once in a while

I am greatly looking forward to a case but only after Gamroth has built one, or two, and sent all final feedback to you Adam. And that feedback has been implemented. Those are the cases I want. January would be a good time to get it, frames will be done soon BTW.

Yes, as I continue to work out plans and accumulate parts, an update by email and even here would go a long way. The only thing we've heard is that the cases might be cross compatible in future for GT cars. But we can get those cheaper as water pumpers are priced a little kinder.

Adam told me personally about two years ago that when his cases are done and ready that you will be able to domestically (U.S.) be able to source and build a whole 911 engine from manufactured parts made on this continent.

That always stuck with me.

Took me months to find reasonable priced 993 cam towers. I think if someone was looking for a future part, that might be one to consider. I know few are building high end hydraulic engines, but there seems to be slim pickings for latest of cam towers.
