So David - you must be in Melbourne.
Do you have much to do with GURU, X-Treme Rotaries?

George,

I know of both names but, I do not work in the auto industry anymore
and not far quite a long time now. and yes in Melbourne (Noble Park)

X-treme in carrum downs.  Guru racing products

I still have some contacts in the Auto industry
what is it you might be interested in?

I got out of the auto industry quite a long-time ago. after working in the
industry for 15 years I just got sick of the industry  and the attitude
that
a lot of people both customers & some people that work in it, have
towards cars. We would get mainly the sub 30 people spend an arm
and leg on the engine and ignore the rest that needed to upgraded
simply not one cent on the suspension or the braking system. Last
time I looked if you want to go fast you still have to stop. If you want
to go faster then you must be able to stop faster, and if the suspension
is not up to the task then you will likely wind-up not on your wheels or
having the traction to the road when you really need it.

I went  into IT / Computer industry worked for somebody for about 2 years
then went in business for ourselves over 15 years ago now.

David,
I'm discussing the single rotor with Roan Ambrose, the chief engineer. He
seems fairly young but knows his stuff - I guess racing is a young mans game
and the racing game is predominately their target clients.

I'm currently negotiating some prices and was wondering if you had dealt
with or knew them - apparently not!

I also looked at the Castlemaine Rod Shop, near Melb, their services are
very comprehensive they also have an Aviation motor and gearbox - of sorts.

I have developed my own bellhousing with Butch a US Engineer, but haven't
found someone to produce it yet - cost effectively. I'm also working with
another engineer looking at the possibility of producing a cost effective,
straight cut gear, planetary, that is more user friendly to adapting to our
unique application. Will have to see what production costs are before I go
much further on this.

Pity your in the IT game and not engineering.
