Having been fortunate enough to spend an entire week inside the Raby Enterprises facility I can tell you that it is no ordinary engine building shop.
To a casual observer it may not look like much is going on because the atmosphere is casual and relaxed, yet the entire focus is on building the best Type 4 engines money can buy. Each of his projects receives a level of attention I would not have been able to imagine without being there to see it for my own eyes. Since the addition of his new building (with clean room) last year, I am certain there is no other place in the world capable of matching his attention to detail and personal approach to satisfying his T4 customers' desires. My guess is he took some of his cues from NASCAR engine shops. I was really only there for one very selfish reason - to get my new race engine, and I know I didn't see everything he has going on. What I did witness was a dedication and desire to help fulfill the dreams of aircooled VW and Porsche lovers. I fully understand why his shop is not open to visitors and I feel truly privileged to have been able to get a taste of what goes on there. Thank you Jake! On the internet Jake's passion often makes him the target of ignorant asses who live only to take from others. At his shop he is truly the master of his domain and very little escapes his attention. He has my total respect when it comes to T4 engines. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) p.s. You may think I laid it on a bit thick, but none of what I said is in any way an exaggeration of the truth, and it truly comes from my heart.
