******* Russian Liar. It still says 0 at the bottom right of my post, so I got no props.
I mean when I took my block to get built at the start of spring in 2010 at a spec miata machine shop they told me it was the start of race season and that it would take a good while to get done. They could not give me a set time table for completion, as they said up front that taking care of their spec miata customers who are there year after year, are slightly more important then my single motor build. I am making assumptions that a lot of bigger well known shops that deal in the racing industry are probably the same way. It royally sucks for the small time individual, but I understand from a business sense that keeping the big customers happy is the way to stay open. I do think that Keegan should do a better job at communicating though.

^^^Same thing with AIM Tuning. He doesn't give 2 ***** about advancing his business, he does what he likes. Us plebs will have to wait if we want something done, as he gets big money from the spec miata guys.
If you want the best, you have to pay for the best. And that payment isn't always money.

I believe Mike made his way over to this thread. He sent me a good email going over everything and explaining some things. We are both on the same page, and at this point I am back to happy customer status. I am patiently awaiting my engine's arrival!

That is always the problem....lack of communication so many think ignoring a customer's inquiry will somehow make it go away.

Sounds like Keegan has started communicating a bit but it's a shame it takes threads like this to make it happen.

Must say a a business owner,
There is no way I would do this to any of my customers.
I took my head down to have machine work on Monday (Shave, 7 angle grind and new solid lifters),phone call Wednesday lunch time come pick it up. All done BTW it's race season here as well.
Hope you get your motor soon.

Still no engine. I've lost count of how many times now I have been told "it will be boxed up for shipping on X date", with X date coming and going with no communication.
(the engine has been finished for a month now)

Not to be a downer, but if it was finished, they would ship it back to you.

Called him on Tuesday, left a not-happy customer voicemail. Leave him my cell to call me back on. He calls back the number I called from instead, which doesn't come to my office phone. He emails me for my cell number. I give him the cell number again, says he will call me tomorrow. Tomorrow is now yesterday. Left him another voicemail earlier today. Still no call back. Seriously starting to doubt the existence of "my" engine. I really don't know what to do at this point.
