Is it too far fetched to have a group of 914 owners agree on a rebuilt engine [you know like a Raby 2270] and put together a production run?

I did one group buy but never again.
I was trying to create six like engines that are really good at doing a multiple arrangement of things from the same combination.... It seems that no matter how hard we tried I still ended up customizing them for the customer in some way anyhow- defeating the purpose entirely and creating a loss of revenue. Now that I have yet again cut down on my volume quota for the year there is no possibility of doing anything like this from my shop. Engine wise our labor went up 15% in 2005 as each engine gained 3 more days of schedule time for its development and testing. I'm adding a different "twist" to things around here and the engines will still be built, only in lower numbers and higher quality as we put into work those developmenst of the last few years into each one as a standard.... It WILL be getting easier and cheaper to own a "Raby inspired designed and prepared engine" in 2005. The only kicker is that you'll have to assemble it yourself- But never fear, we'll even supply you with ALL the tools you will need to do it if need be! Everything is about to change! If my plan works !!!! |
