Dear Sir's,

I'm very disappointed you had to cancel my order. Is there any way you would consider making this unit for the Porsche 901/915 transaxle? I could ship you a carrier for the re-design.

I am a member of a very large and active on-line club. I posted I was purchasing your product and having it installed in my car. There 5000 members waiting for the outcome here. If you made a Limited Slip for this transaxle you would sell them like hot cakes.

Please consider my offer. My transaxle is currently apart and I can box and ship you a carrier to use. One of the other units you build may even fit in the 901/915 carrier.
Other German carriers are very much the same.


Please call If I can assist in any way.

Respectfully,

Richard A. Ollah

P.S. If you question the interest in your product here's a link to the website. There is a search button in the upper right corner. Do a search for Phantom Grip


The site may be down as they are upgrading the server. So if it's down come back and check on Friday.

www.914world.com

If you would like discuss this with me, you may reach me at *******


Well boys and girls, I'm truely bummed! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I really thought we were onto something here. I wonder if we should start a petition or an email/fax drive.

Would you consider a 1000 emails and faxes from interested prospective buyers, Spam?

What do you want us to do to help? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

Can you work it out with them?
Do you need us to act as an angry mob?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif) Hi John (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) I like tha angry mob idea. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/Yack.gif)

I just thought there would be more interest in a low cost option. I guess if your not spending $ 2000.00 + on an installed Quaife your not getting value.

You're lucky, if it was AA, they would have charged you shipping too and then not tell you they weren't making them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chairfall.gif)

I know you are bummed, I was just trying to lighten things up a bit.

Yeah maybe it was posted on the other thread but would the transmission have to be completely taken apart to put this in? Could a loser like me put one in myself?

There is a guy that makes units, for different cars, and was sued by Quaif, over Copy Rights I believe, and he won, he proved his units were different, not copied.

To make this short, it was said, he's suppose to make some to fit the 901, around a $700 to $800 price tag. This was last year.

The beauty of the PG is you don't have to do a R&P set up. You remove the carrier, slide the spyder shaft out, install the pg, and re-install the carrier using the exsisting set up. I've been told the R&P set up is lengthy and a major part of the cost. I was hoping the introduce a low cost option to an otherwise expensive up grade.

Ya, I'm bummed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Well, if it's a race car, pull the carrier, weld up the spyders, it works great, if you only go in a strait line, or race on a dirt track, or Drift race. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

I, guess I'am not helping.
