ecko, are you proficient in either hardcore oop php/python coding or linux/unix system administration (high availability, clustering, load balancing, cloud/grid storage)?
also, ive got no problem finishing the car but it still needs another $2k of crap to get it done and id rather spend that money on new servers which i desperately need. have you priced a decent enterprise-level private cloud hardware recently? **** is uber expensive!

UrbanSoot,
I had the same thing happen to me. I started to build my car, but started a business and could not afford the time and money to finish the car. I let it sit for years before I finally finished it. This was when top SCCA E production miatas were running carbs. That is one of the reason I have carburators. But things changed, and I finally got it done.
I have to say that I am so glad that I did not sell it. It is such a good feeling to finish a project, and I really enjoy my car despite all the flaming I get for what most people say is an outdated set up. My financial situation is now such that I can further develop what I have started, I am way ahead of the game because of patience and experience. I have saved money by utilizing what I have, and not taking a loss on parts that I never used. I wish you would just walk away from it for a while and get it done.
Be patient.
